The four year old computers at my school BARELY have enough power for MS Publisher and one IE window for research
Well, boo-hoo.
My main machine is a 300MHz Pentium II with 128 MB of RAM that I bought in 1997. It runs MS-Windows 95 with no real problems. Mozilla runs slowly if I have more than 40 or so tabs open (due to the 128 MB RAM, not CPU speed), but that's the only performance problem that I have. I don't play the latest games (Q2 runs fine), but a school computer shouldn't be taking that into account anyway. I have installed Mozilla, Python, cygwin, Blender, and other apps without too much difficulty. (The only problems that I have had are with the GIMP and Adobe Acrobat Reader, neither of which support MSW95 anymore. In those cases, I simply don't upgrade to the latest versions in MSW95. (Your machines are running later versions of MSW, so you may not have this problem.)) Of course, since it's MS-Windows 95, I reboot every day or so as a preventive measure, but that's not really a big deal, and my understanding is that later versions of MS-Windows aren't that much more stable anyway. (Plus, since I frequently use Linux (see next paragraph), it's unlikely anyway that I have MSW95 up long enough for it to start corroding to any appreciable extent.)
My machine also runs the latest version of GNU/Linux (Slackware) without too much fuss, for stuff that MSW95/cygwin can't handle. (Gnome/KDE can be a little slow at times, depending on what I'm doing.) The latest version of the GIMP runs fine here, and there are several PDF readers to handle the latest PDF file format (that the earlier version of Acrobat Reader can't handle in MSW95). The main difficulty that I have with Linux is that I can't get my serial ports to work, which means that I can't access the modem, which means that I can't use the Internet from Linux. If it weren't for that, I would be running Linux most of the time, and MSW95 only occasionally.
What I am trying to say with all of the preceding blathering is:
You don't need some multi-gigahertz gigabyte+ RAM machine with MS-Windows XP installed just to do basic schoolwork; your four-year-old computers should work just fine. Just use the OS that came with them, rather than trying to upgrade to MS-Windows XP. Make sure that you have applied all of the security patches for the software, and disable everything that's not necessary for getting the job done (e.g., turn off external DCOM (port 135), disable scripting in browsers, don't use IE and OE (use Mozilla instead), etc.). You can also add peripherals (CD-RW drives go for < $30 these days (DVDs aren't necessary for schoolwork), and 80 GB hard drives are also cheap) to help extend the life of your machines.
And if you want to run the latest something, use Linux or BSD, the latest versions of which should run fine on older machines such as yours.
The simple fact is, that bloggers who want to serve as reporters to a wide audience, will try to report the news as truthfully and with as little bias as possible.
No.
Bloggers (well, intelligent bloggers) who wish to have a wide audience will report the news with as much bias as they think they can get away with (generally, a bias shared by the intended audience), and no more.
If you doubt this, try starting a blog that presents unbiased news on such topics as pornography (especially child pornography) or eugenics. See what happens when you try to non-biasly report on the differences between Zionist Jews and neo-nazis. Try to provide unbiased news on the debate between pro-rapists (and other misogynists) and militant feminists. You may find that your audience shrinks the more unbiased you get.
OTOH, provide the news with a bias that your audience shares, and your ratings will soar. This is why extremists on both the left and right are so popular.
Firstly, it would help if you used the more common term "The Holocaust" (capitalized to distinguish it from normal everyday holocausts such as those that you might pass on the way to the grocer's), rather than the more obscure term "Shoah", which sounds like a redneck response to the question "Hey! Want to go out and get drunk?".
Secondly, please remember that ten million people died in the Nazi concentration camps, not six million. It wasn't just Jews, but Gypsies, various Christian sects, the "mentally challenged", Slavs, etc., who were marked for death. So while the world should "never forget" about the six million Jews who died in the concentration camps, it also should not forget about the four million non-Jews who died there. "Genocide" (put in quotes because, as you wrote, Judism is not a race, but a religion, contrary to Nazi (and other) propoganda) was being practiced against more than one group.
If you're reading this and think you have a fatal flaw to the whole concept, and haven't spent months on it doing some calculations and reading papers, I'll take the opportunity to laugh at your idea now.
OK, here goes:
What happens if the cable breaks? It will wrap around the Earth / split the Earth in two / kill millions of people / etc., rather than burning up on reentry or fluttering softly to the surface. And it will cause tremendous damage in the immediate area, because the Earth terminus will not be out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, away from all major shipping lanes and flight paths.
A space elevator will conduct all of the electricity out of the upper atmosphere, destroying the ozone layer, because, as we all know, carbon is highly conductive, and so is the atmosphere.
As mass is moved up into space, it will slow down the Earth's rotation, which will make all of our clocks inaccurate, because a space elevator will be able to move an amount of material large enough, compared to the mass of the entire Earth, that it will have a detectable effect. Also, since the Earth will weigh less, it won't be able to hold onto the Moon, and the latter will spiral out of orbit.
People going up the elevator will spend too much time in the Van Allen Belt, which will expose them to excessive radiation, which will sterilize them / give them cancer / etc., because modern technology is incapable of shielding them from such radiation.
Carbon nanotubes were first produced over five years ago, but let's be generous and say that they were first produced five years ago. The longest carbon nanotube produced so far is less than 1 millimeter long, but let's be generous and say that the longest carbon nanotube produced so far is one millimeter long. Since, as we all know, progress on such things is linear, at 1 mm / five years, it will take, uh, uh, a helluva long time before we can make nanotube strands 22,000 miles long. And they have to be 22,000 miles long, because the elevator cable can't be made up of shorter sections fused together / glued together / held together by Van Der Walls force.
A space elevator would make a tempting terrorist target, because it would be so easy to get to or sabotage. The ability of a terrorist to get through real security (as opposed to the joke security we have at our airports) has been demonstrated time and time again by the vast numbers of successful terrorist attacks launched against the Space Shuttle and other rockets.
But they know if Christopher Walken is doing the voice of a character or some off-the-street nobody is trying to do the voice of a Christopher Walken character.
I would prefer an off-the-street actor. Why? Because when I am in a game, I don't want to be distracted by such things as "Hey, that sounds like Christopher Walken!". That's true to some extent even in movies. For example, when I first saw Patrick Stewart in X-Men, I thought "Captain Picard", and it took me out of the movie. (Fortunately, Patrick Stewart is a good enough actor that the distraction was short-lived.)
A counter-example was the voice of the Joker in the animated Batman series. Even though I knew that Mark Hamill did the voice, I didn't think "Luke Skywalker" when I heard it because it was so different, i.e., it didn't sounce like Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker.
What matters is that the voice fits the character, and that it not sound like the actor doing the voice. So, Christopher Walken, if you are going to... do a voice for a character, please don't... make it sound like... your normal voice. Thank you.

This is serious. Somebody should stop them. Otherwise, they will pop the planet like a balloon, causing the insides to gush out into space, and the Earth's crust to fragment and fly off in all directions. Those parts of the crust left intact will shrink to a small fraction of their former size (just like a ballon's skin), once the air is let out of the Earth. On the plus side, traveling from point A to point B will take much less time, once the crust has shrunk, but point A and point B will themselves be much smaller. Houses in the suburbs will start to look like houses in the city, i.e., scrunched up against each other with small to non-existent back yards. No back yards! Where will yuppies hold their barbeques? My god, my god! We have to stop them before they pop the planet!
why isn't firearm usage and safety taught in schools?
When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we actually had a gun club. The firing range was in the fallout shelter. (Most schools at that time had fallout shelters.) Oh, and this wasn't out in the right-wing midwest, either; it was in New York State (admittedly, in the less liberal "upstate" part of New York). One of the science teachers ran the thing.
I can't imagine any high school in the U.S. having a gun club these days.
I've replaced \0 with qnblwfoqiwbegasfoi, which technically would be a legal part of a password, but is statistically assured never to be chosen by anyone.
When he wants to seduce his leading lady, Indiana will start talking about sand. He will also find out that the leading lady is his long-lost fraternal twin sister, which will be kind of a downer. Fortunately, he will discover this before he succeeds in his seduction attempts, so that nothing too naughty happens.
Prior to the release of the fourth movie, the first three movies will be re-released with special effects and scenes that weren't there when the movies were originally released.
The fourth movie will try to tie up all the loose ends in the other movies, with the result that there will be very little action, but plenty of boring discussion.
Sean Connery's character will turn to the dark side (Naziism). However, in the climactic scene where he tells Indiana, "Indie, I am your father, Indiana will say, "Well, yeah, I know.", so it won't have quite the same punch.
I know that you were probably joking, but this more thorough explanation explains how a photon could be emitted when the electron's spin flipped without violating the law of conservation of energy. How does it explain this? I have no idea.
if it's taken with a digital camera, it's going to be on someone's computer at some point.
And not just digital cameras. It's also possible to convert a picture taken with a film-type camera[1] into a form suitable for placing on a computer, using a device known as a "scanner". These devices can be found in many office supply and computer stores, usually somewhere in the back. (They aren't publicized very much because they are usually used only for violating the copyrights of hard-working publishing empires. Oh, and ostensibly, the actual authors of the works being scanned.)
[1] A "film-type" camera was an obsolete device (still used by the sort of people who buy $1000 gold cables for their audio equipment) that imaged photographs onto strips of chemical-laced plastic called "film". (I am not making this up.) In order for the owner of the camera to view these images in a usable form, he had to take the "film" to a store (usually a place that sold legal drugs and contraceptives), and wait several weeks for the film to be "developed", a process that involved, among other things, transferring the image to a two-dimensional rectangular wood-pulp-derived material called "paper". (Alternatively, he could build a "darkroom" in his house, and try to "develop" the "film" himself, which he would do if he wanted "high-quality" results. (Usually, though, the "high-quality" results were better than store-bought developing only to the extent that $1000 gold audio cables are better than ordinary audio cables.))
lines that can't possibly be funny try their damndest. I love Futurama, but almost every other line makes me think, "Who thought THAT would be funny?" Pretty much every American sit-com has this problem.
This is why many British sitcoms are much better than similar Aerican ones; they don't try to maximize laughs/minute. I would hate to see Americanizations of shows such as "As Time Goes By" or "The Good Neighbors". Even their wackier shows, like "Are you Being Served?" or "Keeping Up Appearances" would probably not survive Americanization. And when British comedies have tried to maximize laughs/minute, invariably, the jokes fail half the time (even in classics like "Monty Python's Flying Circus (Remember "Confuse a Cat" or "The Gas Cooker Sketch"? Ick.)).
Whan I was in college in the 1970s, the debugger for a Varian computer was called "RAID" (for "Rapid Aid In Debugging"). So the joke actually works on three levels for old fogeys (is the word "fogey" even used any more? only by old fogeys, I guess) such as myself. OTOH, to be honest, the authors of the Varian debugger probably had Raid (the bug spray) in mind when they named their debugger. (OTOOH, the predecessor to RAID (for the Varian) was called "AID", so who knows?)
Since these are suborbital flights, this may have the distinction of being the *quickest* reality show in history!
I think that that's preferable to the inevitable moral questions that would arise the first time someone is voted "off the space station". ("Put him out the airlock!" "No, no! ARRrrgh...")
BPL? I thought this stuff was all done and over with? Anybody able to clarify?
BPL (the B Programming Language) was a precursor to the C Programming Language. It is still used in some legacy industrial applications, such as Jacquard Looms and waterwheel-powered flour mills. Developed at Bell Labs, it has the distinction of being the language used to program the first TOIP (Telegraph Over IP) app, which, as everyone knows, is when Samuel F.B. Morse sent the message "WTF has God wrought? OMFG ROFL!".
Note that BPL itself was preceded by APL (Ancient Programming Language), which was used during the heyday of the Roman Empire, about 2000 years ago. That language is easily recognizable because it doesn't resemble any known "living" computer language (including the heiroglyphics of its character set).
[blah blah blah disneyfication of "Splinter Cell" blah blah blah]
I just watched "Shrek II" on HBO today. "Shrek II" is produced by Dreamworks, which, like everything else in Hollywood, is owned by Disney. The movie depicts:
a homocidal, drug-using, manic-depressive cat,
implied beastiality between a male frog and female human (how does that work?),
explicit footage of a humanoid character getting his arms ripped off,
disintegration of another humanoid character,
police (well, knight) brutality,
the crushing to death of a small poodle in a supposedly humorous manner,
theft, vandalism, and armed robbery by the supposed "good guys", and, worst of all,
a guest appearance by Joan Rivers.
So I wouldn't worry too much about a disneyfied movie being too tame.
Uh, to clarify answer #1, I meant "No." as in "No, you should not be worried.", not "No, someone can't tell you if you should be worried or not.". Also, the answer to #2 is what you can expect from this, which is not necessarily what you, personally, do expect from this. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
