that oughta do it... what have they done so far? and how do they stand a chance in getting official party status... its like having a "Rent is too damn high" party.
what about being summoned to court, just to have the same options walking in the front door.. you decline, you don't make court.. and you are arrested... If the government wants to see your bag, they will find a way.. thats what I get out of this.
I just want my own hand-held scanner...Something like a pair of binoculars with this scatter tech.
How can any of us feel safe, when any one of the attractive women I see out and about could be a terrorist... I would like to scan them, just to be sure.. before I approach them... either that, or make it legal for me to give them enhanced pat-downs
just be sure.. you aren't blinde are you? That would explain why you haven't seen the machines atleast.. joking aside, if takin pictures of my junk through my pants is so important why are they not at every airport.. its ridiculous... get rid of the machines,...
Or modify legislation that allows us to walk around naked, all the time... Should be our choice, if they want to invade our "privacy" anyways... I'm willing to bet if I try to clear security with my junk hanging out, I aint gonna make my flight... but what have I got to hide, nothing... im just 'indecent'... Go figure
This is true... having had to suffer through a class on Photography on your way to a career as an analyst certainly is painfull.. especially when they pile work on.
This is why i dont equate cheating with copying... The purpose of education (in my lowest-common-denominator-speak) is to copy your instructor (or course material).. We copy their notes, we copy their conclusions... most importantly, we copy their process for drawing conclusions.. Cheating to me is sidestepping the process and being given the conclusion..
I did a little teaching at a local college, it was just Second year VB6. I told students its much easier to google up an algorithm, than to try and rewrite it every time.. The real test is how you use them.. Students that called sub routines often (re-use code) rather then past the same logic over and over again.. those are the ones I knew had a knack for code.. The marks I gave out were mostly on interaction... The ones that asked questions, and specifically, the ones the re-asked the question when it seemed contradictory to any prior advice I had given them... The ones that stay quiet in the back, or dont show up for class... then suddenly turn in a perfect project, would get my attention... then I would set out to decide if they were savants, or just cheaters... I was happy to find out most were savants, as they had been tinkering with programming concepts at home and at previous schools..
I don't know if I would agree with you... I mean, i can't speak for society as a whole, but for the people I interact with, I would say we hold teachers in high regard... Perhaps its because a few old friends have become teachers.. or perhaps becuase we enjoy education..
thanks... so stop telling people it offends everyone.. becuase it doesnt.. if it offends you, tell them it offends you... don't try and place a social stigma on it, by comparing it to a racial epithet.
Whats next, getting the ACLU on Slashdot, since it sais "news for nerds"? I here Jesse Jackson isn't busy right now... or would Urkle be your spokesperson?
oh no! an advertisement on the internet? what is this world coming to.. when will these people learn, commercial free media content is a basic human right
our son spent his first 3 months in an isolette as he was very premature... when we got him home, feeding was difficult.. they eat every two hours, and since he was used to a feeding tube, he was a very slow eater.. sometimes it would take 1:45 to feed him... this was around the clock... for her sanity we did as much bottle feeding as possible, but even that took an hour and half most days... it was constant feeding... so yeah, after a while you cry out for some social interaction, even if it is just on the phone, email, facebook or whatever... I bought an iPod touch for this very reason,... babies demand a lot of attention, but it can get mightly lonely when you spend 24/7 with only them....
So IMO it is NOT sad at all... perhaps new devices that allow us to interact with others, rather than isolate, will help new mothers, especially those from the facebook generation, ease in to their new roles.. and prevent them from getting overwhelmed and melting down... like the mother who killed her son "so she could farmville"...
I agree... ive worked in IT a long time, and its always the persons fault for letting their passwords out... sometimes its a post-it, but usually people are just willing to give it out... especially to any IT staff, just walk up and ask "whats your password?"... they just assume its for a good reason and hand it over... after countless meetings, memos and shit-cannings... People will cover the debit machine at the grocery store as if they are gaurding the nuclear launch codes, but their wall-safe at the hotel they are staying at, the load with all their money, passports and jewelry, then proceed to make the code 1234....
there is a difference.. the idea is that the monkeys are smashing their keyboards, producing mostly random garbage... with a small chance of actually forming words and ideas by mistake... or perhaps eventually they come up with written language the parallells ours... and by chance rewrite literature..
Bloggers on the other hand produce seemingly random garbage that gets copy and pasted to other blogs, with no chance of forming ideas by mistake.

It boggles the mind how many people will just say "but... but... but they SAID they'd delete the images."
You do realize that is what this discussion is about right? Just because we all saw it coming doesnt make it right...

no Feynman got his post graduate studies with the help of an online custom essay writer.
someone you don't suspect could be involved in it.
like the spanish inquis..... nevermind, im above that

get over yourself... words evolve, so should we

i agree... but replace all "incompetence" with "negligence"... the difference being "i didnt know" vs "i didnt care"
and the countless press operators that use a pedal to control the press (because the safety equipment pulls their hands back with a chain)..

I can't think of a way to change it either..
I can't wait to visit the "punch the monkey and win!" exhibit.
It has been.. but "nothing happened today off the coast!" isn't really a ratings grabber.
since when do they need to play by the rules? It's only a matter of time before they decide that all rights to Shakespear are belong to us.
This is most definately The Pirate Bay Satelite
may contain traces of lead?
