Whoa... the woman on this page the the same woman plastered all over my school's walls on posters advertising an upcoming dance. Weird. Probably clipart or something.
Kansas Gov. Bill Graves, a Republican, warned board members not to adopt the anti-evolution curriculum, and has said he would support an effort to abolish the Board of Education.

ABOLISH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION?!?!?
Just wondering... what are the qualifications for becoming a Governor in the US? Is an addicion to crack required?
The ISP I work for did this too a while back, the first of it's kind in Canada, I believe. Here's the release they sent out:
I.D. Internet Direct. Ltd. successful in suit against junk emailer
April 1, 1999, Toronto - In the first successful lawsuit of its kind in Canada, independent Internet service provider (ISP) I.D. Internet Direct Ltd. today announced that the court has ruled in its favour in its recent application for an injunction against junk emailer Cory Altelaar. The ruling grants I.D. Internet Direct. Ltd. an injunction preventing Cory Altelaar from delivering junk email through its systems and awards the ISP a reimbursement of its legal costs.
"This is a ground-breaking ruling in the struggle against junk email in Canada," says John Nemanic, President of I.D. Internet Direct. Ltd. "If Mr. Altelaar violates the court order and attempts to use our services for junk email again, he'll be looking at some serious charges."
Nemanic says that his company received several calls and emails of support from other ISPs who were similarly abused by junk emailers (also known as "spammers"). "We want to thank our lawyer, Andrew Lundy of Brunner and Lundy, for his fine work in this case," says Nemanic. "This ruling sends junk emailers a serious message: this activity is not legally acceptable in Canada. You can try to hide, but you will be caught and risk prosecution if you abuse the Internet."
So we can just argue that the 1st amendment is "out of date" and ban free speech? The 4th amendment is out of date, so cops can search us at will? Either the constitution is the law or it isn't. If you don't like it, change it.
Last time I checked, free speech was somewhat of a _good_ thing, no? Who said the the 1st or 4th amendment was 'out of date'? You're making weak arguments to prove your 'point'.
Newsflash, buddy: GUNS are for KILLING people. At the time, it made sense, but now, with the US having the largest military in the world, it's being exlpoited. It's become an excuse for orginizations like the NRA and the reason why crap like the shootings near Denver almost NEVER happens in Canada, where we have things called "Gun Control Laws". They seem to help prevent things like this from happening...
How many more of these have to happen until you realize that guns are things that average citizens should NOT be allowed access to.

HAL comes from the words "Heuristic" and "ALgorithmic" (probably a dozen spelling mistakes in there).
