Now as much as I agree with this comment, I will say as my mother was a school teacher for many years, I have seen how the public (and private) school system can also be quite broken. What I believe should be considered is that any type of generalization in the school environment or rule that is taken to be "zero tolerance" as many have pointed out before me, is bound to fail miserably and cause misery. It isn't necessarily the parents, teachers, or administration's fault, but everyone should expect crazy parents and principles should be armed with the ability to tell them off. (realism vs the ideal world you and me both wish existed)
A new algorithm to crack, Math is Fun! (They don't realize that some of us do this as a passion, no I endorse fully supporting those companies that deserve it, but not everyone does this for piracy, its just a hella lotta fun to crack the reported "uncrackable".)
In the old days a doctor would examine you, find the cause usually, and prescribe effective treatment based on user experience, patient preference, patient history, possible severity of infections, etc. Also a face to face encounter enables the prescribed treatment(s) to seem more important to the patient.
Sorry but I do not see the doctor phasing out anytime in the near future, if anything, from doctors I know, they would love a conclusive result so more patients could be seen and helped: our (unhealthy)-health-care system is packed as is and tanking...
(Hell I know personally 7 doctors that are retiring early just to avoid the new laws and my local hospital will have to be shut down under the new laws in the next year if something doesn't change, not to say the system before was good, it was just less broke.)
Just my take sorry for the long read, but anything to extend the manpower of a doctor: I'm for it!
Why doesn’t Apple, a company so irritatingly up to date in its products and marketing, update its worldview when it comes to sales? Apple’s global headquarters did not respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman in Britain promised to investigate. When we get an answer, we’ll post it here.
I just want an answer to why, that's all. Thanks, somehow forgot that quote (slapForehead();)
Just a sincerely humble opinion from a user of slashdot, I mean no cynical biased remarks from what follows, now that I got that out of the way:
That's interesting, do you mean to say laws differ from country to country, WOW!

I can't believe how many people I know that are actually PROUD that their machine is running with dozens of viruses/crap.
I really wish that we didn't call them viruses. It is not an immune system, you don't make it health by giving it practice! (And who are these people?!?!)
If everyone was aware (what a conditional statement haha) about ad-usage and with bandwidth caps, perhaps ad companies would be outspoken against these laws. Unfortunately, however, I have little faith in the average computer user.

Can they scan my brain while I'm viewing Slashdot? - they would find that one amusing if such a system existed:)

Some more info:
Telekom Austria's charging stations will leverage the group’s existing infrastructure: the company currently operates 13,500 telephone booths countrywide, of which 700 are multimedia stations. In the first phase, the focus will be on multimedia stations that offer on-street parking opportunities for electric vehicles. By installing additional charging points, each telephone booth will be able to recharge more than one vehicle at a time. By year-end 2010 a total of 30 charging stations will be on stream. According to a survey by Verkehsclub Osterreich, an association promoting environmentally sustainable, socially just and economically efficient mobility, the number of electric vehicles will significantly increase in Austria over the next few years, with e-scooters exceeding 60,000 and e-cars 115,000 by 2015.
Yes they did not go out on a limb to invest in phone booths, but using existing architecture in an economically and environmentally friendly way to address an emerging market, nice.
That was some good info within my attention span:) after 50 hours of math (take home final - finals week)
You may notice that this has actually made playing video more complex than it was when if was Flash or "just embed a file".
That is a good point, I am the point in my education (school) where I am just starting to learn web development, its nice to see the "big picture view" more often
No I was just referring to the fact I speed and do not really believe in traffic laws. Oh and of course it is an average (with one sig-fig), mine is just a poorly construed joke.
For that I think you'll need to end the trip with more gas than you started with!
Oops forgot this link: this one specifically talks about clean energy as related to article above in Google approved format. http://www.google.org/rec.html
I can see that smug cloud building. (bad joke I know)
But on a more serious note: a link to their site about their data-centers going green: http://www.google.com/corporate/green/datacenters/ Only at Google would they compare "15,000 Google Searches" to a cheeseburger...
Unrelated: "A five mile trip in the average U.S. automobile" they rate at 10,000 "Google Searches", they obviously have NOT seen how I drive. But don't judge, I am easily amused...the circumference of the earth (meridian, by car) is ~4.9*10^6 Google Searches
Carotenoids are colored compounds produced by plants, fungi, and microorganisms and are required in the diet of most animals for oxidation control or light detection. Pea aphids display a red-green color polymorphism, which influences their susceptibility to natural enemies, and the carotenoid torulene occurs only in red individuals. Unexpectedly, we found that the aphid genome itself encodes multiple enzymes for carotenoid biosynthesis. Phylogenetic analyses show that these aphid genes are derived from fungal genes, which have been integrated into the genome and duplicated. Red individuals have a 30-kilobase region, encoding a single carotenoid desaturase that is absent from green individuals. A mutation causing an amino acid replacement in this desaturase results in loss of torulene and of red body color. Thus, aphids are animals that make their own carotenoids.
That's the abstract from the in-text link, whatever a Phylogenetic analyses is...my guess:
Phase 1: Found genes......Phase 2: ???......Phase 3: Science! (good point mrmeval)

You got me!
Yes, but you're not so hot on English, though..
That should be written:
You are correct. However, you are not very proficient at incorporating the English language into your vocabulary.
See who wants to write all that crap out on a message board / threaded forum?
umm...Comcast. They need to be nuked.

cheers, I enjoy a good point now and then...
Hearing all of that made me respect a professor a LOT more this past semester.
Cheers you earn +10 coolpoints in my book.
Go JMU dukes! (Obligatory 'go college!')
Hearing all of that just earned me a LOT of respect for the subtle hints a professor had been giving us all semester...
Thanks HTMLSpinnr +10 in my book. (I start a new job Monday.)
Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
---Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
--Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
--More witches.
--Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
--...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
--Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
--Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
--No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
--Bread.
--Apples.
--Very small rocks.
--Cider.
--Gravy.
--Cherries.
--Mud.
--Churches.
--Lead! Lead!
--A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
--If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Correlation does not imply causation!

Personally if I were an alien, a "Flying Twinkie" would make me want to visit a planet...

Or maybe this giant Twinkie IS the protection against the satellites: the delicious-decoy.
