Finance? Lol, the thing that makes more difference than anything else is parent involvement. The more involved your parents are no matter what your school finances the better you will do. We throw so much money at our public schools that some schools have enough money to have every one of their students get a limo ride both to and from school every day. Our public school systems in the US waste so much money its not even funny. I can see that you've never actually looked at a school budget. Lets take the school district I work for, as an example. our budget works out to (roughly) $12,000 per student per year. Factor in teacher salaries (Some of the lowest in the field - High end of the pay scale is $52k/year and that's with a masters, and having worked for just about 30 years) also, heating a building this size isn't cheap
Why not suggest an addition to Tor that sends small amounts of random* bursty traffic from one node to another, Randomly, based on the average throughput of the node. create garbage traffic for them to filter through as well
*Random in this case, obviously, means psudo-random
The problem with the car horn is a honk can mean so much from: - Move over you spineless git! - hey dickwad, you almost hit me - Hi there - careful, you're about to hit something - I just passed out and slumped into my steering wheel
You try talking for a while with just a mono-tone "Hey" you'll find it's very difficult to be understood
A big idea with SPIT is to get you to answer, claim to be someone you are not, demand a payment, and make money. If someone answers the call, it's an issue. Pestering rings at 4AM are a problem, but personally, I disable the VoIP box through a router rule at night, so I simply don't get calls at 4AM (though a voicemail will bounce to my computer and if it;s from a whitelist caller, my computer wakes me, as it's likely a family medical issue. There's only one thing worse than a wrong number at 1AM...
6 - World-wide panopticon-enforced fascist dictatorship. The word "privacy" is removed from dictionaries of all languages. George Orwell's ghost stands slack-jawed from the realization that he vastly underestimated the degree of control governments are now able to enforce. no... he understood that, see "newspeak"
How could you have a slogan like "freedom is slavery" when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinkingâ"not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness. a Little more subtle would be Heinlein's take on it in "Stranger in a Strange Land"
Language itself shapes a man's basic ideas. and the discussion about the lack of a martian word for "War"

15%... dang... if only... my weight from before I met my wife to now (7 years on, of which 4 have been "married life") has been 120%
now that being said... Before: 6 foot 2, 100 pounds even... competative ballroom dancer... 19 years old now: 6 foot 2, 220 pounds... IT worker, 2-year old at home.
Congrats for the new kid. and as the proud parent of a 2-year-old myself, let me say... your eating habits will never (for some value of never) be the same again
make sure you take enough time to play with the kids. it makes a world of difference
It's a serious problem... Ant are warm blooded, and are going to like heat... Electronics produce heat (as do Air Conditioning units)
Given the number of Data Centers we have, I'm surprised that we haven't seen more problems like this where bugs (the little six-legged variety) cause more problems.
I do foresee a new booming speciality - Electronics-safe pest control (think Halon vs. Water for fire suppression, except for insects)
Who did this? You don't remove the seeding... stupid
did I mention stupid?
this is how some of the old video games were "broken" despite using "random" numbers, the seed was always the same... leading to the same sequence of events

It's Open Source... How hard can that be! I mean really. it might be 2 lines of code more, or (if done right) just another database entry.
It isn't rocket surgery people. that's the strength of OSS, you *can* fix it without having to beg for a fix from your vendor!
Lock-in this year for me... #2 heating oil... $4.799/gallon
That's up from $2.729/gallon this past winter
Believe me... I understand

"If anybody tells you that they know why the price of oil keeps going up, ignore them, better yet, punch them on the nose"
Everybody's just guessing.
oh yeah *Punch on the nose*
It's not a nuclear power plant, but still, my network...
I've set nagios up to monitor my network, and any los of signal is considered CRITICAL, not just a warning, but critical... and I need to know then.
wow... need c[_]... I read that as "Monty Python and PHP"
Reread TFS... HR Database... technically your employer needs it to properly report to the feds.

The book, yes, the movie HELL NO! the movie missed all of the points that Heinlein made through out the book

Yes I did have a torso... but according to my wife... I turned sideways and disappeared
yeah... but all of the health nuts will feel awful silly at age 95-ish... lying in a hospital bed, dying of nothing

Great Book, great series of books, though it's been a long time since I've read them.
