teachers... have begun penalizing students for using the net slang
Good! More power to them! School assignments should be written in grammatically correct English, using proper spelling. This requirement might be lifted for certain creative writing assignments, but in general, this is what schools should be doing.
Technically, if you just repackage a public domain work you can't really call it original and thus can't copyright it (or aren't supposed to be able to).
So I'm supposed to uproot my family, take my kids out of the best school in the state (yes it really is), quit my job and find a new one, have my wife quit her job and find a new one, all because my local city council, in its infinite wisdom, decided to grant a monopoly to [INSERT CABLE COMPANY HERE]?
I highly doubt that, I work in Cable software development and I can tell you that you *NEVER* test on a production system, especially in a market as large as NY..
You don't understand the OP's point. This wasn't a software test. This was a marketing test, to see if users would scream.
If they get speeds that exceed the speed of light in a given medium (say, a wire), won't they have to deal with the energy dissipation caused by Cerenkov radiation?
Yep. The only two Hungarianisms that I ever use are "p" for pointer, and "m_" for member (got that one from Visual C++). The latter one is useful for distinguishing between members, locals, and globals (though "::" works in for globals, and a member function should be small enought so you could see the declaration).
As a side note, the judge in the Pepsi Harrier case, Kimba Wood, was Clinton's second AG nominee. She also had to withdraw because of a "Nannygate" problem. Clinton then nominated Reno.
The RIAA has asked the Department of Justice to investigate the site "Slashdot". Apparently a posting on that site caused the RIAA's webserver to crash and burn. Hilary Rosen, the president of the RIAA said, "Only the RIAA is allowed to overload servers. This is clearly an Evil Terrorist Content Pirate(tm) attempt to stop our efforts to bleed^H^H^H^H^Hhelp starving slaves^H^H^H^H^H^Hartists."

This has been available in the US for a while.
I've been pricing new windows for my house, and the self-cleaning stuff is an (expensive) upgrade.
You had a CD-ROM drive? Why, back in the day, we had to run a pin over the CD and count the pits and gaps! And we were glad to have 'em too!

I have an idea that i would like to patent.
Traditionally, you couldn't patent ideas, only implementations...
Of course, the USPTO has ignored that for at least a decade...
Tell that to Disney.

From the r.h.f. archives:
EULA for your check.
Econ 101 strikes again.
Econ 101 and the law of supply and demand doesn't take into account government granted monopolies.

Through your SIGNATURE on your charge card slip, both you and the store agree to these terms. And it's recently been ruled binding
And if I pay cash?

That's all very well and good, but do the Lone Gunmen get killed?

It's a good idea to review references to a variable when changing its type, and that's a process that meshes well with search/replace anyway.
Except you probably don't do that. You simply do a global search and replace without looking, thereby defeating the purpose.

How many Pepsi's is Lance Bass going to buy?
Or maybe the fine print:
Exclusions: If you are Lance Bass, this offer is null and void.

Hey, I was just answering the submitter's question.
To be honest, most articles I have read tend to give credit to both Kleinrock and Davies.
If I took the novel Moby Dick and shifted every letter one to the right, could I publish that?
Yep. Moby Dick is in the public domain. You just oculdn't claim authorship.

In other words they want the above to be banned even before the trial
