First, if you are under 18, there's nothing you can do in the courts. And even if you're over 18, you can guarantee that the school isn't going to take you seriously. They will listen to your parents, teachers, the public, and the press.
Actually, once you're over 12, you can file a civil lawsuit. I just recently had to do it. I moved out of my dad's, and he actually came to the school and stole a lot of my stuff. I won.
*ahem* NO.
I have 3 times during the day which are academically, uncounted for. That's morning before class, study hall, and lunch. Your tellin me I shouldnt be able to check my mail?! I'm stuck in the shitty school system here and I already CAN'T check it. It's people like you who think they know whats right for kids but haven't actually seen the real picture.
I do not find this off topic. It may not be on the topic of the story, but it IS on topic by the fact that I could not read any attached comments to this story for quite a while.
1. It's Motion Picture Experts Group =)
2. Yup. Im pretty sure it was 1987 that the MPEG-1 standard was finalized.
3. Ripped sounds bad for anything. Makes it sound illegal.
C'mon! I haven't even taken high school physics yet and i know your wrong. The disc has mass, and SOMETHING has to make it turn. And since the disc has mass, the motor, whatever, has to use some torque to turn it. Where will that torque go? From the motor, to the player, to the foot pads, and eventually, to the ISS. It'll have extremely little effect, but nonetheless.
My GOD what the topic! The notion of "Once you hit X age, something magical happens and you can do X!" is bullshit. I mean, I know people in their EARLY THIRTIES that shouldn't be driving! But some stupid politician says 16.5 is magical and means you can drive then. "16.5" you say? Yeah. In Pennsylvania, about 2 years ago some girl who had just gotten her license went and got drunk, and packed 6 other drunks in her little compact car. Totalled. So, now you dont get permit til 16, then 50 hours driving, and 6 month waiting period. And then, I can't even get a checking account until I'm 18! What the hell? When I turn 18 I guess I'm suddenly smart enough to not sign my life away. They should do away with the age thing and have a test. Boycott driving and contracts!
Uhh, NO.
USB was made by INTEL. And makding an open source OS is not an innovation. Neither is slapping a Sorenson codec in a program and releasing the source.
What i'm saying is with what was was running in my house at the time, the computer used more. I'm no power thrift - I rarely run my flouro lights (Bother my eyes and mess with the speakers), and my comp doesn't use any power saving utilities. Alone, it uses quite a bit of power. And power saving on the servers of the world could help out A LOT.
Hmm. I hate to burst your bubble, but...
Floursecent light: 20W.
13" (32.5CM): 77W.
46" (115CM): 220W.
Total running (this is whats running right now): 317W
Now, on to my computer...
14" Monitor: 80W
HDD 12v@500mA, 5v@1200mA: 12W
Mobo/CPU: 80W
CD-ROM drive (playing CD): ~50W
Cable modem: 20W
Speakers: 50W nominal
miscellaneous other things: 50W
Total: 342W
well there ya go.
Just a few corrections -
Blue boxes will <strong>NOT</strong> work on ANY non-Bell operated phones. They don't use ACTS, and they don't play back the tones to Bell. It's up to the phone itself to log calls and money deposited.
Ah, the Black Box... Didn't work on the principle you thought. With the Crossbar switches, audio could go before billing started. The voltages on a phone are 48V on hook, 12V off, 96VAC 25Hz ring. But, all the Black Box was was a resistor. When someone called you, you flipped a switch which put the resistor in the circuit, lowering the resistance to a point where the phone would not ring and you could talk, but not low enough for the switch to realize. It didn't help you on outgoing calls though.
You gotta have one big subwoofer to make good sine waves below 25 or so Hz. Chances are the box can generate from 1Hz to 20kHz, but the speaker cannot.
A friend of mine who works for UPS managed to get a 21" CRT, and a 19" CRT with a forklift, and throw a Gateway computer at his boss. Company policy says it gets it done faster, go right on ahead.
My house is along a state highway, #287. Well, junk mail just doesnt get anything right -
HIGHWAY 287 ROUTE
ROUTE 287 HIGHWAY
STATE ROUTE HIGHWAY 287
STATE 287 HIGHWAY ROUTE
My OFFICIAl address is xxxx Highway 287 =)
The one I saw was about the guy who worked in a sattelite guidance and tracking job, and decided to overcome HBO's encrypted signal with one that was unencrypted that said something to the like of "HBO - You've fucked your customers, and Showtime and Cinemax shouldn't do the same!"
A few towns from here sits a large power plant.
It's called the Berwick Nuclear Power Plant. It emits absolutely no CO2. It emits large clouds of H2O. It contributes nothing to global warming. Maybe you enviromentalists should stop bitching about how everything hurts the environment and look at the people whos pockets are being emptied because you didn't want a power plant.
*checks his computers power supply* 300W. It's probably using around 200W. *checks his monitor* Using 72W. 272W. NOW, TO PROVE YOU WRONG!
*checks his 46" TV in the living room* 220W.
Moron.

Nope, I'm a Quake 3 WFA man myself =)
I've got 5 mod points, but I replied before I noticed I was given points :-/
The title header of Clonaide says "The first human cloning compagny".
Hmm, I wonder what a compagny is =)

Root Mean Square? Yes, I am normalizing an audio file. Thanks for your interest! (It's meant as +1 FUNNY, not -1 Flamebait, moderators)
Thats whay my library, , does. Works extremely well.

No, we already have FISSION. What we WANT, but are having extreme problems just holding the stuff, is FUSION.
