Yep, a lot of times, the required textbook is one the professor of the class wrote himself. Hey, no conflict of interest there! Of course, the book is unavailable anywhere except from the school bookstore, unless you can find a used copy.
They don't seem to mind all the surveillance cameras everywhere. Besides, the police can't use your DNA against you unless you've done something wrong, right?
The poor guy must be sorely disappointed that the audience didn't rise up and crush the obvious repression... Well, college as all about getting an education, right? He got one.
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.
The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."
God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this, let's say we have a man making contest." To which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"
But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."
"Sure, no problem," said the scientist as he bent down to grab himself a handful of dirt.
God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You don't understand. I said just like I did; you have to go get your own dirt!"
At least that what it was in Pacific Bell territory in So Cal when I was growing up. Seems to me General Telephone had a different number... can't remember what it was though...

Shaving brushes,
You'll soon see 'em,
On a shelf
In a museum.
Myanmar-Shave.
Or even how many crimes can be tied to a criminal!

> ... you go to court, but you probably don't know that you have the right to a jury trial...
What? How do be educated enough to get into a university and not know this?
I know public school education is pretty awful these days, but come on...
> Everything I've heard about tasers leads me to believe that they are basically like being electrocuted.
I'd much rather be tasered than electrocuted.
A person who's been electrocuted will never be arrested again, I assure you.
You used the word "electrocuted" several times.
Rest assured that had been electrocuted, there would have been no need to arrest him.
No.
Freedom of Speech is when you go get your own soapbox, not when you try to bully someone else off of theirs.
Delusion.

Well, college as all about getting an education, right? He got one.

Is THAT what it is?
I thought "academic freedom" was all about justifying being an asshole, because you're on campus.
This kid got an education, all right.
It's probably a serious concern!
> and barely remember what dial-up was like ...
And certainly not why it was even called "dial"-up...
Disconnect all connectors inside the case. fill case with cement. Let him have at it.
> This reminds me of a kid who insisted that he could jump as high as a mountain ...
Well I can jump HIGHER than a mountain!
But that's because mountains can't jump...
Heh. Well as a user, all I care about is that I can use the program for free (as in beer). Who cares whether it's even open source or not?
Those envelopes were supposed to go in the incinerator ...
Oh look, a butterfly!
Well, mod me all to hell! I see someone already posted that same joke :-(

.. used to do the same thing way back a long time ago before Al Gore invented The Internet.

The whole article on one page, you dumbasses.

I'll even hold my breath until it happens!
