I remember a while back that there was an extremely controversial book that contained real photos of nude persons under the age of 18. It was declared art, and book stores continued to carry them. This was several years ago so I can't remember the title of it.
I heard that with those (although I don't know who would buy one) you can switch the music CD with a regular CD after it does its check for a valid music CD.
From Running Linux which is published by O'reilly:

Did I say anything about making teachers do it? I was inferring to some sort of online collaborative project where teachers of the same subjects could each write parts and such. I'm truly sorry if I did not make myself clear. Therefore, it would be something strictly optional. It would also mean that the most committed teachers would be doing it since they would be doing it on their own free time.
And like I said, each teacher would only have to write a small section since there are so many eligeble teachers out there to do something like this. Of course, a standard form of writing, outline, etc. and such would have to be agreed upon to tie the book together.
Another option is for the government to pay the teachers to create a book. It seems like it'd pay for itself in the long run, but that's just my perspective.
PS: Teachers get paid more than you think. It's just the "thing" to complain about how little teachers get paid. They chose to go into that profession knowing what kind of pay they would get. In addition, if a teacher wanted to contribute to such a project, they could always use a computer at school.
Great idea. Imagine what could get done if just 1% of the currently employed teachers got together to work on a book. I've been unable to locate a quick figure but I imagine 1% would amount to a lot of teachers. This would reduce the costs for schools and it would mean that students could have all of their textbooks on computers. I'm sure it will be way too late for them to do anything before I get out of school (I'm currently a Junior in High School.)
Schools spend all this money on these new Compaqs (although Compaqs do suck) and such great new "technology" but they fail to do anything that *really* helps the students. I'm sorry, but access to the Internet going at 1.6 kilobytes a second doesn't help me that much. It's more there for the teachers and their e-mail, etc. Unfortunately, "high technology" is just a buzzword in the education system. It's a shame they don't focus on more important things.
Slashdot has an ad on the top of each page. I choose to come to this site even though there is an ad. I understand that it is required to fund the site. This is my choice.
I check my e-mail. I expect to be sent something that I requested. Be it by somebody asking my e-mail address or filling out a form, knowing that I would be contacted for a specific reason that I knowingly requested.
Spam is typically not requested by individuals. Well, unless they are a masochist. I always have the option to see the Slashdot ad. I can simply avoid it by not visiting the site. I *requested* to see the site, and thus the add. When one gets spam when checking their e-mail, they did not request that advertisement. Personally, I see it as intrusion onto my privacy, and do not appreciate it one bit, and I wish it were illegal.
My school district is currently building a new school, and it is supposedly going to have cameras in every room for "video conferencing."
Yeah right. I'm pretty sure I know exactly what they'll be used for because they have already installed cameras in the hallways and parking lots in the old school.
I'm glad I won't be going there (I will be graduating the year before it is complete.)
I care about how Intel treats its employees, and you should too when you consider your options when shopping. Do you really want to financially support a company that practices poor ethics? That is exactly what you do when you buy one of their processors.
Yeah, I downloaded the ISO image and burned it to a CD-ROM. I just thought that it was kind of strange though that it's all of the Drake utilities and KDE.
7.2 is pretty much unusable for me at this point. I get this message when trying to run KDE2, or any of the Mandrake utilities (MandrakeUpdate, DrakeFont, etc.):
If anybody has any comments, ideas, or whatnot, I'd like to hear it. I've submitted it to bugtraq. Hopefully they'll be able to get it resolved because 7.2 looks nifty.

Enough said.
It doesn't take that long to get used to it. I did in the 8th grade, and never will I go back to anything else.

20% is a lot of dissatisfied people, too.

Or better yet, why don't we get them a nice job at the AOL 'Technical' Support.

Yeah, I want to sit on my Pentium 75 and wait HOURS for things to compile.
I like Windows 2000, but since when could it be configured from a CLI?
I think part of it is processing the registry. It has to also load all of those .VxDs that control your hardware. Then it has to initiliaze all of it.
How the hell do you read anything at that resolution?

The site google.com runs GWS/1.10 on Linux
It's a lot more useful than saying "...in 1/1000th of a second."
It is your choice to use the program.
Who said the government wouldn't pay them?
Kmeleon has dissapeared? I think not. Version .2 just came out on November 27, 2000.

You bought Windows '98SE *just* so you could boot to a friggin DOS prompt? You can't be serious.
Because it's true.
Yeah, I downloaded the ISO image and burned it to a CD-ROM. I just thought that it was kind of strange though that it's all of the Drake utilities and KDE.
Nope, it's a clean install.
