Okay, so when the other parent calls the child is as missing and the other parent registers their kid at another school, how would they still not be found just as easily as if they walked back into the same school as before?
Maybe you're trolling, maybe you're just pretending to be George Carlin, but I'll bite heh.
Get rid of privacy and you'll witness the slow death of individuality. Peer pressure and groupthink are powerful enough without the fear of your life being an open book for anyone to read/judge. I'm sure you'd have the best intentions, but many folks out there don't. For example: no matter how open you are willing to be, your government will remain just as secretive and private as ever (i.e., Bush administration). I hardly see that as an improvement.
1. An apparatus for threading a web through a printing press, comprising:
a body portion having a length and a width; and
at least one ridge integrally formed on at least one surface of said body portion, said at least one ridge extending along the length of said body portion, wherein said at least one ridge includes intermittent gaps affording flexibility to said body portion.
As long as you make sure that your "apparatus" has length, width, and depth, you are safe from this patent. Now, if your company exists only in 2 dimensions, you're scrood.
What about me, I lease my own plow. How am I gonna feel when I get fired because my boss somehow "just knew" I had his daughter out at the drive-in. You heartless bastard.
Ah yes, Wunderland: Where the clientele have that certain savoir-faire only matched by that of NASCAR fans and every day is like a Meth-Anon reunion (no, I said nickel game, not nickel bag, Chachi).
Don't you think it a little weak that you sink to insults to make any kind of point? Taking to insulting and slamming other people sure makes you seem both educated and insightful. You're like bigot-lite!
Blame it on the liberals! Blame it on the conservatives! Partisan politics, the race war for the 21st century!
If he does this, he'll ruin a children's classic... A film puts out one interpretation thus squashing imagination.
So? That's generally the situation with any movie adapted from a book. Movies written from pre-existing works are based on another's perception of that work, never a direct expression of the work itself (unless, I suppose, the author of that work participates in the film-making. In which case the movie will still by slightly influenced by the director's interpretation). Besides, I wouldn't necessarily rule out the possibility that the same children you think are reading The Hobbit are also reading the LOTR books. In any case, they'll still get the full value of the books if they are read, and still much of the story if they just watch the movies instead without ever reading them. Either way the story is told, which is the important thing.
It's like that version of Romeo and Juliet we all had to watch in middle school. It was a pretty loose interpretation of Shakespeare, but for those that would have never read it on their own, it atleast instilled a good sense of the work.
I prefer the hammer-key-unlock concept, great way to prevent you from keeping me from your xbox. And your television, vcr, computer, get smart dvd collection...
I would also like to see leaps and bounds in video conferencing land. However, given the recent hoopla over regulating VoIP, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it. If/when it is made a viable channel for casual communication, the bells are going to flip out again. At that point, you could drop the 'free' from your free video conferencing.
Unless you have a business account with your cable provider, it is very doubtful that you would fall under this category. Cable providers tend to have very specific TOS that prohibit home users from reselling their bandwidth or even sharing it to anyone outside of the immediate contract (i.e., you). Additionally, they have the habit of prohibiting users from running servers of any kind, which sorta nixes the IAS idea.
IOW, in order to meet the requirements of an IAS, you'd most likely be in breach of your contract with your provider, which would probably nullify any claim you could make.
By the way, IANAL * infinity, this is just a slightly educated guess.
Why do I vote again? Oh yeah, I stopped voting since I realized it doesn't matter who wins
If you don't vote, then guess what? You don't get the right to bitch and moan when things don't go the way you want them to, plain and simple. It's fucked up, this political system we have, but at this point in time our only voice is by voting. I know you feel rebellious to say it, but understand that this is a very real case where if you aren't trying to be a part of the solution, you are, by default, a big part of the problem.
Post you politician's e-mail addresses everywhere you can
Politicians doubtfully are the first to read their email. More than likely you'd be targeting an intern, whose job is to wade through the inbox to pick out the handful of real emails. I don't think your point will get across to them, do you?
If you like adolescent fantasies that operate on the emotional level of Saturday morning cartoons and pretend to be almost pseudo-intellectual, yes, it does speak for itself.

some of us would have appreciated seeing the other possible version metioned
Um..
Probably those of us who look for something deeper in life than firefights
Well..
...see relationships as being more complex than just pairing with a sex partner.

Great game, Dragon's Lair. If the joystick and button were broken, you'd never even know it!

If being outside is not more interesting than crappy novels, you not only bought the wrong book series, you chose the wrong vacation spot.
Or you took your wife with you...
It makes sense, we just banned another genetically modified fish not two months ago.

Imagine if there was a convienent government sponsored website to find a local drug dealer in your neighborhood.

You realize umlauts in domain names will only bring about another wave of hair metal bands, don't you?
seeing 3DFX come back only to enter into the laptop market
The problem with that is that you'd have to buy two laptops and tie them together to get any real performance.
There's the obvious "Parent/Child" possibility
No, that would never fly in Santa Barbara County.
