I feel you should be able to tell by third or fourth grade how often your child will need to update you on his or her status. Once you know that, it's relatively easy to make a deal with the teacher say "My child has this problem, or doesn't tell us when things are wrong, so I would appreciate it if you would keep me updated on a weekly/monthly/quarterly basis". Any teacher that's reasonably a good teacher should agree, unless all her students need such help, then she'd bring it up to the school board.
No, the teacher saved time by not having to grade my work in high school, just graded my tests (Perfect scores usually) and never had to bother me too much in class. Thus he/she had more time for other students or to teach other students. Unfortunately the teachers didn't seem to realize it.
He's talking about not needing to do the work, not not doing it for the sake of rebelling. If he had just rebelled and failed for not doing work, I'd agree with you.
Could it be that the 867 G4 is about a year or so newer? And wasn't out at the time 800 MHz Intel and AMD chips were being sold? Or that the G4 probably cost twice as much? Nah, couldn't be that......
You missed his point. He said that so far Deus Ex is the only game that may come close to Duke in terms of gameplay fun. He agrees with you. Maybe instead of RTFA everyone should RTFP (read the f-ing post) before they reply.
The parent's sig mentioning women and lesbians made me think of flat-chested women when I read the words "Flat Tax". Is something wrong with me? Or does that just make me a guy?
Does that make me a semi-bad interrupter? I try my best, but my laziness sometimes makes me forget to write down or file in my brain what someone said, so I have to bug them again. I really try to remember though:(
What the hell is wrong with you people!!!!!!! Santana is one of the best guitarists ever!! it seems like nobody reading slashdot has ever heard any of his music.
Not if they have DRM on them, as the article says. You can only convert files with DRM to other types of files with DRM, and they can only be set to only play on your computer. So that would solve nothing, you get another type of file, still with DRM, and even worse quality cause you're mixing codecs.....
I have to second the motion that you have to go to a music retailer specifically because, working at a CompUSA, the only returns they really care about are computers, not printers, scanners, movies, music, etc. Stores that have all sorts of stuff generally only look at their biggest ticket items. So, if you went to Best Buy and said you wouldn't buy one of their home/car stereos cause it didn't play copy-protected CDs right, that might affect them, but nothing less.
Damned right to that. I missed about 6 months of season 2 of Farscape cause my cable provider decided to stop carrying Sci-Fi for a while. When I saw the next episode I had no idea what was going on. Some people from before were gone, and others were back, or new characters were in their place. I found it very disconcerting.
Try the Logitech MX700. You do have to recharge it every few days for a couple hours, but I don't see a problem since most people sleep at least the 2-3 hours it takes to charge fully.
Every single US SMS service I've heard of charges for both sent and received messages. It sucks, but happens. I could be wrong about all, I'm just saying that's what I've seen.
Making DVDs is sirty environmentally, and that thing will be moved using gas somehow (dump truck) at least twice most places. Plus the fact that most people I know rent 2 DVDs at a time, and the pollution is probably about equal, if not greater with these disposable CDs.
But the statement still stands that teh teenagers would find some other use for the car if they didn't have to return the rentals. Plus you aren't saying how to stop them from going to get them in the first place. Or should they just stop driving altogether and download them all off of P2P networks?
So, then by your logic, if Bill Wyman of the Stones ever wrote anything he should have a disclaimer saying "Not Bill Wyman the journalist". Funny that I don't remember that being on his book or anything.
But the ice on Greenland and Antarctica (which is greater than the amount on the Northern cap) still will melt. And then there's the fact that the oceans will get warmer from the melting ice, and the warmer water is, the more space it displaces. So there will be a non-trivial rise in the oceans, but it will take some time. Luckily I will probably be dead (unless I discover the secret to immortality).

That would be interesting. I don't know any PHP to speak of though, and dunno how much I'd use it, but I'll try if you do put it up on sourceforge.

That's a pretty sweet setup, never even thought about that myself. Dunno if I'd ever do it, but it's a nice idea.

I can't remember the last time I laughed so loud at a post. Thanks for the nice belly laugh.

they came out with a new CD? is that why I suddenly have a few more mp3 files all of a sudden? ;)

And nowadays even the souncards that come on the mobos are more than adequate to the task.
But I at least like Santana's guitar. Not that I'd necessarily buy a CD but.....
are you saying it wasn't the man's soap opera? ;-)

I read that as
I'm on vodafone and my girlfriend's a virgin, no problems here either.
So I had to reread it like 5 times to see the point.

Then what is a democracy all about? Should only unanimous votes be made into law? That sounds suspiciously like anarchy.
