There's no moral or ethical issue with drinking a beer or a glass of wine.
Ah. You don't suppose that it just might have something to do with athletic performance and not showing up to your games hung over from getting hammered the night before, do you? Perhaps somewhere someone got the idea that you couldn't play football at your best while your teammates were holding your head over the toilet?
Come to think of it, it's time to close down the government schools and remove that intrusion from everyone's lives as well.
No, of course not. That would involve too much thinking and get in the way of your glorious revolution. Carry on.
Let me post a few interesting bits that should answer about half of the "insightful" questions raised in the comments today:
"I'm personally pretty upset and wondering why someone would collect these photos and turn them in," O'Leary said. "A lot of kids' lives are going to be ruined as far as scholarships and sports are concerned." [...] "I was told each picture was equal to a two-game suspension"
[...]
"The Minnesota State High School League requires student athletes to sign a pledge that they will not drink alcoholic beverages."
[...]
"I didn't get into any trouble,'' she said. "But I'm only in intramural sports and some clubs." She said a friend who is captain of a girls' team was stripped of her leadership role because she was shown in party photos.
Let me sum up. Students joined the High School sports teams. As part of that they promised not to drink. Someone sent the school administrators photos of these kids who, as you may remember, had promised not to drink, drinking. They were disciplined for that.
This has nothing to do with "stupid prohibition laws". It has nothing to do with laws whatsoever. It has a lot to do with reading comprehension, but I'm just wasting my time even typing this far down because, let's face it, anything longer than 'I can has cheezburger?' is just too long to bother reading. So I'll just go on about a marvelous proof for one of my favourite theorems and then stop writing.
I think that pretty much anyone who read the article would have noticed that.
You can see the seams between this monitor's four segments, but the Alienware humanoids tell us that flaw will be gone by the time this craft lands on Earth.
Something else that many people don't get where OpenNTPD is involved is that it is not the same as ntpd. I haven't kept up with openntpd development recently, but the last time I checked it only implemented the SNTP protocol and was noticeably broken in how it implemented many parts of NTP.
It's still fine for what it does, but don't confuse it with a real NTP server.
True, but we have a larger audience to consider. Hundreds of years from now, historians will look back on this day and say "Meh". It is important that they know just why they are saying that.
There you go. If this guy ceases to exist and all of our memories of him and his theories are erased from the universe, then that would prove that he was right.
As a corollary, does the fact that we still know about him prove that he isn't right?
"How are you today?"
"Where are you heading?"
"Is this all your property?"
"It's almost irrelevant what your answers are," Maccario said. "It's more relevant how you respond. Vague, evasive responses -- fear shows itself. When you do this long enough, you see it right away."
"You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling towards you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping."
We've all heard the horror stories about what EA puts its employees through to get games out the door. Do you think an entire project team would put themselves through that voluntarily for NO money, or for what little money a free project could get from ads, donations, and so on?
I'm curious. Where exactly did you get the idea that putting your entire team on a death march is somehow beneficial to the project?
There are already several companies making $8000 / gallon specialty ink distributed in highly secure cartridges tied to specific printers and designed to self-destruct before they have used 50% of their contents.
You don't need a government contract to buy them. All you need to do is go to Staples.

Or use some kind of military grade Pringles can to boost the signal.
Good thing that kind of technology isn't available to the general public.
Of course. The correct spelling throughout the English-speaking world is 'recognise'.
But what are they if I'm not into that sort of thing? Shrimp forks?

Did nobody even bother to read the article?

Actually they have just sucked for eight years.

Don't bother trying to get them to register NSISUCKS.COM. They already own it.
Strangely enough, it seems to redirect to their own home page. I guess they are okay with sucking.
You mean it's blurry and gives me a headache? Alright, sign me up!
I play with a house rule that sets pi equal to exactly three.
If that still bothers you, maybe you need to read a little more Jack Vance.
And then ask yourself why Gygax named one of the most powerful wizards in his original D&D setting 'Vecna'.
I'm not seeing much of a difference there.

Just make sure you put it next to the original quote and the concept that it followed into a dark alley and beat up.
There you go. If this guy ceases to exist and all of our memories of him and his theories are erased from the universe, then that would prove that he was right.

It's watchmakers all the way up.

But can it teach them not to feed the trolls?

I see that you are new to this.
You may want to read Darrell Huff's primer How To Lie with Statistics for an idea of what you're missing, and then take a look again.
I think you're missing the point.

Actually, if you read the article you will see that the violent crime rate is has been going down because they changed the way that they measure it.
Beats me, but whatever they do you can count on seeing it again two days later.
