Agreed, and it is reassuring to be in class and see that more and more people are ditching Social networking and saying, "get over yourselves - we don't care what you do in your personal lives."
As far as my friends go, it usually takes some incidence of drama to get them to quit. Two of my friends quit as a result of bad breakups with ex-wives. I was smart enough to learn those lessons back in the MySpace days, when I was in a relationship living with my girlfriend:
" Ethanol, who is that bitch you added to your friends list? Are you cheating on me ?! "
" Uh, she's my sister. No, I am not cheating on you.
( 3 days later ) " Ethanol, who is that bitch you just added to your friend's list. Are you gonna cheat on me with her?! "
" No, she's my fucking grandma! "
That teacher, incidentally, moonlights as a consultant and encouraged us all to "network," because that's how people get jobs and succeed, he thinks.
He should tell that to my boss, an utterly unqualified asshole and idiot, who got his job due to networking because his buddy was his boss and friends with his boss' boss. After he utterly ruined our department, blaming his faults on us, and sent morale through the floor blaming and bullying, I led a revolt to overthrow him. Consultants were called in to see where the faults were and his buddy-boss was asked to leave the company. Now everybody involved in the idiot's hiring is getting a pistol-whipping from corporate, and he's on his way out. Meanwhile, the department (except for the boss, of course) got bonuses for showing self-sufficiency in the absense of real leadership.
In short, "networking" is another bullshit buzzword. Any decent employee can succeed by merit alone.
is that this dude thinks he is a Jedi Master. Also, a New Yorker who leaves valuables unguarded? Not to diss the Big Apple, I wouldn't try this in any city, well, anywhere!
The thief is the bigger wanker to be clear. However our intrepid "Jedi Master" acts like a naive kid from Tatooine.
Narrator: See the LS3's in their natural habitat. Once a day these lumbering creatures collect around the petrol pond to hastily drink up their day's supply of the vital fluid.

Narrator: LS3's produce small bursts of electricty - sparks - from time to time. These natural occurences are typically benign and merely help to distinguish these graceful creatures from their organic counterparts.

Narrator: However, when these sparks meet with petrol, disaster can strike.
camera pans over the gasoline pond, this time on fire and with wrecked husks of LS3's in it
Narrator: Our crew returned to the gassing hole a mere hour after our initial visit, and already the herd has been ravaged by the fire. The raging inferno has consumed the herd. Such is the natural order of things in the urban jungle. Even so, with the next war, the Department of Defense will place a new order, and the LS3's will once again roam free

I really don't get the car analogy.
I mean, if you put both cars through a grinder (encryption) or press (archiving), won't that make the toyota and ferrari the same?
No, one is a Tor-ota.
Some schools no longer permit chemistry students to handle copper sulphate, because it is classed as a potential carcinogen.
Add boic acid instead to the big flame in back, and it turns green.
