The problem is, in many states teacher's salaries (inflation-adjusted) have doubled over the past 30 years, and the quality of teaching has declined nonetheless.
I don't know what state your talking about, but in Washington, the teachers had to fight long and hard just to get the 15% cost of living salary increase that put them at the same place they were at 5 years ago.
And as for your comments about not requiring any demonstrated skills, that certainly isn't true in Washington. In order to keep your teaching certificate, you must get an equivalent of 1 years of college credits every 5 years for the rest of your career. And only some school districts reimburse you for your money.

Speaking of Apple IIs, did anyone here ever play a game called Centauri Alliance? It was the first computer RPG I ever played, and it is still on my top ten list (of course the two may have something to do with each other). I played that game off and on for almost 5 years, and I still never beat it. Then again, I was a really little kid at the time. Ok, I'll stop reminescing(sp?) now.
Well, I found childhood to be boring only after I entered public school. (I was home schooled for a couple of years.) The United States public school system is absolutely horrible. Kids learn absolutely nothing, and do nothing but busy work.
I wouldn't have to be different. Salt water can freeze just like any other kind of water. It just has to be at a lower temperature than regular water. And being so far from the sun kind of takes care of that.
They seem to be mixing up patents and trade secrets.
No, what they are doing is mixing up reverse engineering and clean room copying. Clean room copying is when you have a team of engineers recreate something from the specs, without ever actually seeing, or working with the product. That is exactly what they are describing.
A better analogy would be professional mechanic (sysadmin) and professionial automotive engineer (programmer). The mechanic has to work with what the engineer gives him, but he could also be have a little machining shop to make a custom part.
You're telling me you don't have data that you only kind of want to keep around? I for one have a rather large (>4Gigs) collection of music videos that I only occaisonally watch and that is currently nearly busting my hard drive. (I have a rather small, by today's standards, hard drive. Only 6 Gigs.) I would gladly offload some or all of it onto Freenet in exchange for the low reliablility of retrieval. Of course music videos may be a bad example, because they might be popular in and of themselves, and would have a greater storage reliability than say some homework I did.
I'mm getting really tired of all the people saying that Freenet (or things analogous to it) won't work because you can't trust people, and therefore you can't trust the things that people share. These people are ignoring the other major use that Freenet has (and things like Napster, Scour, and Gnutella don't), and that is extra space for YOUR stuff. If you can promote Freenet by advertising it as free extra storage, then you can build a much larger user base to then focus on the sharing aspect.
Many of the vulnerabilities are unintentional, but some appear to be "trapdoors" deliberately left by software writers to allow intrusions, and others are "backdoors" that were designed to help systems administrators but have been "discovered by kids and hackers and used to harass the systems," a Pentagon official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
I don't know about anyone else, but I read Packetstorm regularly and I've never heard of any vulnerability that sounded like a programmer put it in there intentionally, unless they are talking about default passwords or vulnerabilities on internal DoD software.
If someone was more conspiratorial than me, they might conclude that this was just another ploy by the DoD to get more funding through public panic.

Don't get me started on screenshots, either - if you own the copyright to a document you created with Microsoft Word, why don't you own the copyright to a screenshot of a game you created with Quake or Rainbow Six?
Because when you create a new document in Microsoft Word you start with nothing. When you start a new game with Quake, all the artwork and levels and everything copyrighted by id is already there.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be able to take screenshots. I've gotten so pissed at the Apple DVD Player because it won't screenshot anything. But the copyright still remains with the company. I just think that license to use screenshots is implied in a license to use the program, or DVD.

I'm glad someone brought that up. Not only should it be fair use to publish it with a review, but also just publishing the whole damn thing unmodified should qualify as fair use under the public service clause!!! BugTraq should have every right to continue to publish Microsoft's bullitens. In fact they should be suing Microsoft over threat tactics.
This is America! You aren't going to be persecuted for harboring seditious ideas.
Someone doesn't know his history very well. Every time this country has been in conflict with another country in the past 100 years or so, people with anti-government sentiments, or even people with backgrounds that might lead to anti-government sentiment have been rounded up and put into prison, internment camps, etc.
Witness the most recent example, internment camps for the Japanese and Italians during world war 2. This was the cause of a direct exectuive order! Or how about all the people arrested during WWI and the period right after for being communist. There was even a law passed by Congress saying they could! Look up the Alien and Sedition Acts.
So next time you just blindly assume that because we are in America, we actually have rights and crap, think a little harder.
If OS 9 takes up 40 megs of RAM, then you really need to clean out the crap from your Extensions folder. On my iBook, it only takes up 32, and I haven't gone through and removed all the crap I don't need. On my Twentieth Anniversary it only takes 19.8 megs, neatly pruned. And as for your powerbook, you should be able to go back to at least 8.6, if not back to 8 flat. I will admit that the Mac OS has gotten more bloated over the years, but at least it has a nice little utility for fighting it: Extensions Manager.
That is one reason. But an earlier development of Apple's that created a great demand for Macs as DTP machines was the ability to use more than one monitor simultaneously (and I don't mean mirroring). To my knowledge, windows and/or linux still cannot do this plug and play. (Maybe Win2K or WinME can, I haven't played around with them.)

Um, you are confusing a Layer 3 and a Layer 4 protocol for a Layer 2 protocol. Let me illustrate, Ethernet is a layer 2 protocol. So is Token Ring. A Layer 2 (or Data Link layer) protocol controls exactly what data passes over the transmitting media, and what nodes have the right to transmit. IP is a Layer 3 protocol. Other Layer 3 protocols include IPX and ATP (AppleTalk Transport Protocol). TCP is a Layer 4 Protocol. Theoretically, you should be able to combine any Layer 2 with any Layer 3 with any Layer 4, etc. Its possible to use TCP/IPX over TokenRing.

WE need to get rid of this electoral college asap. Make peoples votes actually count.
Oh yeah, like a direct election will really make you votes count. In a direct election, all a candidate would need to do is appeal to 50.001% of the populus. Thats still a margin of 4,000 votes, over double what the margin was in Florida.
The electoral college prevents what James Madison called "The tyrrany of the majority." With a direct election, we could have a candidate that says fuck the minorities. The electoral college forces candidates to pay more attention to more diverse regions and demographic groups. IMO, the electoral college is a good idea, but could be done better, (i.e. not only allot votes to states, but also to other demographic groups not necessarily region-based). All in all, I think the electoral college gets us a President that more accurately represents the ENTIRE country, not just the majority of the country.
