Totally catch your point. A good friend of mine is a wrestler. He is very intellegent, takes many AP classes, and is one of the few people in my school who seems to have his life together.
This is someone who I look up to. The fact that he is a wresler never came to mind.
By calling the musical preferences of someone else "weird" and the other sorts of quick-to-judge things you've said in your post, you are really no better off than the librarian that kicked you out of the lab.
Just because someone doesn't look the same as you, or doesn't listen to the same music as you, does not mean they are out to cause problems. Perhaps a large percentage of the people you classify as "weird" cause problems, but I can promise you this: the clothing and music are not what makes them act that way.
Perhaps the "counterculture" brings a lot of trouble upon themselves. But all I see in that situation is a lack of acceptance from people in your school of the counterculture.
If I were you, I would try talking to some of these "different" people. They probably have a lot of interesting things to say. And don't forget, being a geek is often counterculture.
Yes, you were "streaming," but you were only going at the resolution of standard NTSC television. While this works for most things (football game, or a powerpoint presentation on a vga projector), it would be way too poor of a resolution to watch a full length movie.
I am familar with the generation of television signal receivers you mention.
In fact, mine also got 5 or 6 channels simultaneously. Not because of some fancy "picture in picture" but rather because the antenna used the "rabbit ears" protocol and all the channels would bleed together.
.health being more western-centric than.who? What do you suppose the h is for in WHO?
Personally I am against the idea of a whole new tld for health. There are many larger groups of websites online that don't have TLD. [whatever].who.int should work just fine. As far as "trusting" the websites that are under.health, wouldn't subdomains suffice?

Just three-hundred laptops. Really no big deal. No, none at all. Come on Linus, what gives?

People need to learn not to be so quick to judge!

So instead you want to elect a Shrub or a Gore?
Here are some funny Bush quotes for you. Enjoy!
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
"Laura and I really don't realize how bright our children is."
"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."
"If the East Timorians decide to revolt, I'm sure I'll have a statement."
