You forget one thing though. At least for my high school, the "student council" was nothing more than a popularity vote. The student council one year was nothing but a bunch of the popular crowd, all who knew each other.
What did this high and mighty authority do? They organized school dances, and all sorts of other important issues. Did they have any authority to change rules for the better and make the school a great institution of learning? No. They had basically zero rights and powers just like all the other students.
So the student council was in fact, useless, only getting you one more photo in the yearbook.
I hated high school. there was a news story featring my old high school about a brutal sexual assault that went on there a few months ago...
The easiest way to find the image linked in "am i hot or not"'s site(in ie5) is to rt click on the page(its framed), view the source, and do a search for "you can share", and just before that is the image tag.
That's whats great about angelfire pages. the directories are left open, and often people just stick pics in the/images/ directory, and many of them are ones you weren't supposed to see.
OF course, on amihotornot, I'm getting a lot of mostly empty geocities directories or empty websites.
I remember many years ago I set up a "hacker catalog" online e-commerce site(ok, PAGE), claiming to be selling all sorts of things such as red boxes, linemans handsets, and other toll fraud items.
It was very poorly done, coded in notepad, and the items drawn in Deluxe Paint(This was around late 1995), and I left certain clues such as having its offices in New Tokyo, California. Hell, it was on the U of M's web server!
Regardless of the ameturish quality of the site, I was getting emails daily asking how to order, since I said I didn't accept credit cards. Mind you, if I said I did accept credit cards via email, I would have been swimming in them.
If the Indrema had MAME available for it, and all 4000 games available, without crashing or mucking with controls, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Of course, with the TONS of licensing issue and all sorts of red tape concerning emulators, it would be impossible.

perhaps he can take the slashcode, and have a "bringing the man down" site, where instead of stories that bash microsoft, he could bash "the man". Plenty of sources!
Shoulndn't this movie have been made at around 1982? Like, you know, around the first edition AD&D rules?
Of course, the anti-D&D Crowd back in the day beat TSR with the wonderful "Mazes and Monsters" starring Tom Hanks. Fortunately, Tom Hanks went on to much better movies in his career, like Bachelor Party and Joe Vs. The Volcano.
How is the FBI going to get EVERY mom n pop ISP to have this carnivore box? Threaten a jail sentence for admins who run an un-carnivored ISP, or one where the Carnivore box "mysteriously" gets disconnected from the ISP every few days?
I was amazed of the obsolescence speed of my Diamond Viper v550 16 meg AGP card. Got it 2 years ago when many other video cards only had 4 or 8 megs. Now I just got a GeForce, and Halflife doesn't crash as much.
Uhh, I had access to our family's old Betamax for a while. Lesee here. It had mechanical buttons. It was a top loader(okay, no big deal, it'll sit on the table).
Taping a show was an interesting exercise. You first had to flip open a door and manipulate the huge LED clock to set the right time for the VCR to start. THEN you had to set the main power switch to auto record, THEN you had to hit the record and play button, and then hope for the best.
No kids, back in the early 1980s we didn't have TIVO or anything like that. We had VCRs that had friggin TV tuner dials(or a big row of radio buttons where you had to insert a plastic number on the side, and each channel has a set of potentiometers) and you couldn't just use a remote. Nope, this one had a corded "remote" that could ONLY pause, fast forward, or rewind. On-screen menus? HA!@
Ghod I hated that behemoth of a Betamax VCR. I think I'll settle for inferior quality VHS.
I enjoy listening to Off the Hook since Emmanuel goes on some rant on how a vending machine ripped him off, and for that he thinks there's some huge corporate conspiracy against him to take his 65 cents away.
He's a high-tech andy rooney. For once I just wish he would tell Rich the Rebel to go screw off for once, when he calls up(which is on every show, first time. he's OTH's own troll) and discovers if you press so-and-so buttons on a payhpone, you get this and that operator.
Would P2p gaming work? I'm tired of not being able to play Cstroke/TFC/Quake because of goofy server hang-ups. Or would this just be a cheaters' haven?

Studies show that people who sit on the net 24/7 are a LOT more likely to be honest and commit less crimes.
They made a movie about it, called "The Matrix"

It was amazing how many people I fooled.
Isn't that what the Amiga CD32 system was?
You mean all those "me too" news sites might possibly be saying things that are NOT true?

So wait now, it's no longer "40 acres and a mule", it's now "40 acres and a Playstation 2"?
I would have never though the fourth doctor(Doctor Who, for all you youngins) would be crossing the genre barrier into this.
This will be a geek extravaganza! Expect people camping in front of movie theaters for this and centerfolds in Starlog!
It looks like Jeremy Irons is doing a bit of overacting in the trailer alone....
As for the modern day dialog in a fantasy setting, look no further than any dialog in Xena.

So somebody posting internal documents about some corporation makes them a critic?
Reminds me of "Friday the 13th: Jason Lives", and I think in one of the many sequels, Jason cuts up a bunch of people on a space station.
I see a sequel of a sequel here.

I swore zdnet or some similar news service had an article just like this, and it listed South Park Rally and that Star Wars RTS game as well.
Both my almost-never-used linux boxes are entirely composed of 2nd hand hardware. I'd say it would come in handy. Dumpster divers would appreciate it.

One word on the Etch-a-Seketch web browsing: SVG. It'd be perfect for it!
What next? WAP protocol on the friggin' game boy?
