My high school did the same thing, maybe more than 500 though. There are 5 computers in each classroom minimum, then there are the actually computing classrooms, and the office, all on one T1.
I remember the early days though, when the teachers had just gotten the computers and didn't even know how to set them up, so I volunteered then spent time downloading mp3s at outrageous speeds from the dial up I was used to. Then the horror, oh the horror. Once they all got set up, I don't know what was slowing it down so much, but you couldn't get more than a K/s out of anyone during peak time, which was near the end of class when the teachers ran out of stuff to say. Maybe 3K/s if you did it while they were talking, but it was so atrocious, I wept.
OK, where is it written that you must post an article at 4 AM anyway? Will CmdrTaco just beat you mercilessly if you don't? If its something you realize you have to apologize for, try just not posting it. This article I don't particularly mind, but just for future reference. Thanks.
OK, I'm sure you've seen the new Atlantis movie, but I'm relatively positive than many of the other/.ers haven't, and simply care about science. The fact that there is the recent Disney movie is probably not related to the fact that scientists called it the lost city.
Uh-oh, the moderators found the crack again. As I read this post, it is +4, Interesting, now yes, it is interesting in a way, but that's because it's a funny troll. Please mod it as one of the more appropriate.
Oooh, VA should change their business plan to "get bought by M$", that always works. You know BG just wants to "experiment" with Linux.
Did anyone else notice that in the Linux version of this, they include server software? Yeah, I'm sure that's one hella of a server, all 27 cubic inches of it.
I have AOL. My parents pay for it. They bought it for my use for a Christmas present. Later, they created their own account on it. Since my screen names were there first, I have access to the parental controls. The look on my parents faces when they're told they "do not have access to this area" because their parent said so. Teach them to get AOL!
And if you're going to think about flaming me for using AOL, remember: at least it didn't go out like all your DSL providers. Suckers.
I don't know about anyone else, but did anyone else realize they could make that kind of money playing chess? I'm sure one factor to this was that I am an American, and I love my country, but I really wish our society had more things like this. I do know how to play chess, but I'd say the majority of people I know don't, and I am a pretty hardcore nerd. Ok, so I don't use Linux, but otherwise...at least being a nerd in high school. And there isn't even a chess club at my school, what a shame huh?
Well, time to go practice on Yahoo!, and remember, never play anyone who's UID is "Shredder"
I'm pretty sure its National Enquirer, and you have to admit, Weekly World News is much more funny.

I would have to agree. Some of those comments like "9 months, which is more than 50% of the year" looked like they were put in because the VP was smoking lots of crack at the time.
Actually, as I understood patent law, this actually does mean they can't. Once they have obviously waived their right to enforce their patent, they can no longer choose to enforce it. Thsi prevents big companies like Microsoft from only going after competitors and just leaving the others alone, and that's just not fair to the other companies.
They are starting to cover stuff after 1945 here in CA, but not really well. Also, Economics is a required course, though I don't think they teach how to balance a check book.
The other reason I replied is I have a funny anecdote. In my basic US History class (the system decided I wasn't qualified for the AP, so I just got the highest grade in there) we watched movies, and we got to as long as no one: slept, ate, read, or talked (within limits of a high school student). Once, the teacher walked up to the TV, turned it off, and yelled my name because I was reading. Everyone in the class was immediately mad at me. So I apologized, and when the teacher turned the lights in the classroom on, he found out I was reading the history book, because he wouldn't let us do it while he was giving us busy work. Once he had found out, I said I'd put the book away if he'd turn the movie back on, so he agreed because he felt so bad about it. Everyone else just made fun of me. God I hate people.
lol, my Asian friend scored higher than me on math, but I (a white male) beat him overall because he doesn't speak English.
I'm a highly intelligent person, but I argue for keeping the SAT test because of my friend. He scored high on the SAT in math, and he does well in Math classes, but he doesn't look as good in school, mainly because he doesn't speak English (well). Its not his fault, its his fourth language! Now if you eliminate SATs, I would look totally better than him in every way, and I really shouldn't, because he is smarter (Oh how it pains me to say that)

You're just mad because I 0\/\/NZ j00!
Hehehe.
It's okay, nobody likes Real Networks anyway.

I only read /. for the porno links.
Read the Final Fantasy article. Yeah, yeah, I know it's Katz, just skip down to the comments.

It's a joke. Notice the appropriate "funny" tag next to the score.
It's called a monopoly. Ask Billy about em, he should know by now.
It's been rumored that if you don't continue to pay your subscription fee MAPS will put your site on the list. And send you emails until you do!
Um, no it's not. Try reading the article before you post.

Wait a sec, you're not the grammar nazi! I wonder where he is.

Yeah, I had to stop. It was interfereing with my crack addiction.

Actually, it's Gattaca, spelled only using the letters of the four compounds found in DNA.

lol @ your comment, I was starting to do the calculations before I read your reply. I swear I had a life, where did I put that thing?
Where's my will to live? I seem to have lost it.
