The teachers read the math lessons off a peice of paper?! You mean like in every other school?!
Anyhow, Saxon math is the best series for learning to do math quickly and accurately. Saxon is all about repetition, they beat a topic into your head until you can't stand it any more.
Saxon already uses the "flash card" method of brute forcing topics into your head.
This method is good for lower level math, but once you get into high school, it's just a pain in the ass.
Sure, you can do certain types of problems very quickly and probably get a very high score on the SATs if you do well with saxon but you will not be equipped to think for yourself.
In college they will expect you to think it out yourself and they won't have a step-by-step example on how to do each type of problem.
But maybe you're right -- it's more important to be correct than to be civil; After all the slashdot mantra is to flaunt your ego by being an uptight stick in the ass right down to the finest detail.
1) Guns need to be reliable. Semi-Automatic weapons already have a problem jamming without the use of crappy biometrics. Not only could this gun be hacked on the black market and resold on the street but the original owner might not be able to shoot it because he screwed up his biometric print somehow.
2) This won't stop children from dying. Children fall down stairs, drink draino and get run over by cars in their own driveway. The best measure you can take to protect your child is to watch them. Not put a lock on everything that is lethal.
I'm sure every one of you has something lethal in your home easily obtained by a child. Why arn't they dead? Probably because you are either watching them, they arn't interested in it or you told them not to touch it in such a manner that they beleive it will truely harm them to do so.
3) Will this prevent from someone using your gun against you? Yes. But if someone has come in range to steal your gun they can just as easily stab you to death.
It's not suprising to see such stupidity coming from the state where pumping your own gas is illegal.
While we are at it Jersey, Let's start banning stairs and replacing them with "safer" elevators. How bout Foam padding on the corner of every building? Better yet - An embargo on all forms of boned meat.
They would be studying how funds\weapons are traded through tightly woven heirarchies where members of the heirarchy may or may not always be available at a given time.
They don't care about what stupid comment Joe Sixpack might say about fearless leader GWB.
The problem is that this can seriously degrade performance.
What I want to know is: Would it be possible to come up with a mod design in which it switches between red and blue? (Red when it's moving, Blue when it's idle)
I noticed the light turns off when the mouse is Idle with my intellimouse, maybe this could be switched around a bit.
So basically, only once everyone is sharing everybody elses pain will we have a utopia?
Let me ask the friendly neighborhood hobo: "Would you rather have me come down here and live like a bum with you so I can understand your suffering or would you rather I sent you $100 every month?"
The notion that you can alleviate suffering by suffering along with someone makes no sense at all.
Where does it stop?
"So hobo, now we are both suffering. But we arn't suffering nearly as much as that lepper over there! Let's go and catch lepersy so we can understand HIS pain."
Grinding society down to the lowest common denominator in the name of equality is not wise.

Hartman - Jesus H. Christ! Private Pyle, why is your footlocker unlocked?
Pyle - Sir, I don't know, sir!
Hartman - Private Pyle, if there is one thing in this world that I hate, it is an unlocked footlocker! You know that, don't you?
Pyle - Sir, yes, sir!
Hartman - If it wasn't for dickheads like you, there wouldn't be any thievery in this world, would there?
Pyle - Sir, no, sir!

Yet through the context you were still able to understand what he meant. Amazing!
Without your slueth decoding skills and strict grammar enforcement we all might have read that as "through it is california adventure park".

I dunno...
You could rationalize it as:
Well, she's not really my mom, she barely even knows my would-be dad exists yet.
But then you come to the horrifying conclusion that this consumation would probably make it so you would no longer exist.
Either that or make you your own father. *cringe*
I mean come on - it wasn't even attatched to a model train!
That's why they made cold cathode tubes. Heat is not an issue with them.
He makes all these awesome gadgets and James uses them in some unintended way and they always break.
If I were Q, I'd keep the laser\toothbrush and replace it with a real toothbrush.
James would probably save the day anyway.
Next time, feed the question to the calculator through a USB cable and see who wins.
If you could fight in hand-to-hand combat with anyone in the world, who would it be?
from all these years developing Doom and Quake?
Rickety experimental space-craft *always* wind up deserting the occupant on an alien planet infested with demons and high powered weapons.
For the pilots sake, I hope he makes sure to equip every craft with atleast a chainsaw.
Think of the three fingered two-headed freaks you'll have.
The radiation could cause problems too.
The problem is that this can seriously degrade performance.

Poor guy. I bet you never used to draw outside the lines as a child and your apples were always colored red and the sky blue.
"TEEACHER! Johnny colored his apple purple!!!"
I wasn't suggesting this as an exclusive way to check out books.
Basically - it's a library "service" for those who are interested.
You could still check out books the old fashioned way.
Not to mention, it would help fund the library by collecting interest from the deposit money (Sure it's small, but it adds up).
Yes, it would. The barcode is attached to the book and not the person.
The barcode is there so the person can redeem their deposit when they return the books, and that is it. No identity involved at all.
What library's need to do is allow for anonymous checkout of books - providing the person leaves collateral of course.
When you return the books, you get the money back - just don't forget your receipt with matching barcode.
So - Fred the McDermitt file, where can I find it?
... oh my god...
Yeah. the game was great! The beer girl
One time I found santa lying dead in the living room. I asked my dad why santa was dead and he said: "Son... Sometimes.. Santa gotta get whacked."
So basically, only once everyone is sharing everybody elses pain will we have a utopia?

Maybe next time I will leave a disclaimer about how I in no way condone spousal abuse in any way.
After all, we can't have people just telling jokes all willy nilly, somebody might find them funny and beat their wife!
The future andy.
IN THE YEEEEEAR 2000!!!!!!!!
In the year 2000 robots will do 80% of our housework. But we will do 90% of theirs.
When she told you "you love that game or me" you should have hit her over the head with a blackjack and dragged her out to the curb.
