For a lot of kids(I bet a lot of/.ers fit into this category; I was one) school was a gauntlet of abuse to be run everyday. Learning to accept abuse is not what I want for my kids.
I don't mean to accept abuse, but learn to deal with abusive people. There will be abusive people in adult life too. You can't protect them forever. (obviously I don't know your specific situation, and I wouldn't tell anyone what's best for their kids, so take all this with a grain of salt)
As much as I agree with you, and as much as I hated all levels of school when I was a kid, I believe that the socialization aspect is one of the most important things you learn in school, especially at the younger ages. Hey, just look around your company to see who the successful people are, usually they are ones who are popular and have good social skills, not usually the smartest or best educated. Sad but true.
Could be the delays are due to the fact that Vista requries a PC with enough horsepower that will hypathetically be available with 80% certainty in January.
I thought any geek worth his salt would have created a web page with all his links and uploaded it to a hidden location on a server somewhere on the 'net, then set this page as his homepage in Firefox on all his PC's. It's worked for me for 8 years, luckily my ISP allows me to run a web server on my linux box at home. I even added a google search box at the top of the page.
Aren't people already doing that with rechargable batteries?
I'd gladly pay 4 times (or more) the price of regular batteries to have batteries that recharge in seconds and never need replacing. This will be great in cell phones and laptops, too.

Have you considered the fact that your dad might indeed be a terrorist??
Someone in H/R thought Waterboarding was similar to surfing. Talking about water sports on company time is a no-no.

And perception is reality, at least in the mind of the customer.

They should fine Microsoft 640 million, that should be enough for anyone.

It wouldn't have been a story unless it was the Party Plane. It's probably gunna be just like on those "Girls Gone Wild" videos or something.
I dunno, but if you're trying to have a private chat with 3 friends, and an unknown 5th user, named @fbi, keeps popping in, be careful!
I don't know if that will work, but I'm willing to try it! :)
Ebay owns Paypal.
This will help terrorism? Does Osama have a MySpace profile??
Tell that to RIM..
...and in other news, Spanish hackers develope a P2P app that runs entirely over port 80.
No, it's called WOPR. Everyone knows that!
Thanks for that, I couldn't read it in Firefox either.
Wow, talk about an article designed for posting on Slashdot.
They must get really pissed off when someone goes in to use the bathroom and not buy anything.
Why does the scale of the map change as you drag it around?
Looks like nowhere in North America is there land at the other side of the world (except Hawaii, does that count?)

Maybe it's just because people who are dumb enough to press a button for 20 minutes to earn $10 are easily amused?
Nah, it would be iBerry.
The article forgot one main thing:
1) You do not talk about Fight Club.
2) You *do not* talk about Fight Club.
I've heard of a glass ceiling, but this is rediculous! I guess people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones .. or something like that.
