And how old was Doogie Howser when he became a doctor? So she was a child genius and captured the hearts of the populas.

"Maybe students aren't out of the closet and don't want people to know they're going to the Gay & Lesbian Resource Center. Maybe you're cheating on your girlfriend and you don't want her to know you're in somebody else's dorm room. It's creepy Big Brother."
Gee, instead of leaving this tracking device in my desk, I'll take it with me when I decide to do something wrong.
If you wind up getting caught because you have one of these on you, then its you're own fault. Unless it's actually wired to you, then just leave it at home. This isn't big brother stuff, more like his little cousin's.
The problem with remote poser is, unless you are going to pepper the flight paths with lasers, or throw up some laser satellites, you are going to have some seriously limmited range. Think about it, the earth is round, once you fly over the horizon, you can no longer be hit by the laser.
I really don't think that the amount of power needed to activate a chain of extremely high powered laser's from say LAX to Midway, would be all that more efficent, let alone for intercontenental flights. And I really don't see the other nations of the world liking someone putting a high powered laser into space.
And lastly, the plane was made out of aluminum foil, I'm guessing for two reason's, one, it's rather light weight, and two, it won't burn when hit with the laser. How much of the acrylic polymer feul is going to be needed to power an actual plane, and how big of a laser is going to be needed to get this thing to lift off. You'll note that the picture shows the plane just launching off of the pedistool, then falling.
The reason it's worse is because, well for one, more people are likely to just sit and stare at it for the time it takes the eclipse to occour. The other reason is that your pupils dialate when the sun is eclipsed, which lets more radiation in, plus, the ring of the sun still visible around the moon is still bright enough to damage the retinia. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember from 6th grade when we all went out to watch the eclipse.

First, it's not my logic, it's the govt's logic. And while I don't fully agree with them, I also don't want to have to pay for someone's reconstructive surgery when they fly through their windsheild and land face first on the sidewalk. The laws aren't there to protect the person who is driving but to keep the govt/insurance/public from having to pay for their stupidity.
Also, you are likely to have a more expensive medical bill if you wreck your car, than if you fall off of a swing.
Hey, it's kinda cool holding a webserver in your hand
slashdot meltdown
And it's even cooler when the ipaq fuses directly to your hand. No clue how many hits it has, since it's suffering from the slashdot effect. I'm sure it was a good idea while it lasted
In other words, this study showed quite clearly that the 'stepping stone effect' that opponents of legalisation use, does not exist.
You're absolutely correct, I mean, I'm sure that the kids in my school that started with pot, then moved on to acid, speed, XTC, and other various pills, then on again up to herion, crack, and all those other fun drugs had other reason for doing so. I mean, it probably had nothing to do with the pot they all smoked.
They can do it for the same reason the they can institute mandatory seatbelt, or helmet laws. If you are under the influence, you are more likely to get hurt. Don't argue that fact, it's true, I've seen high people jump off of cliffs into a lake without checking the water first, drive down the road swirving between lanes, and play with knives and other harmful objects that they shouldn't be playing with sober.
When you hurt yourself, not if, but when, your insurance, or health care will be forced to pay for it, if there are enough accidents, then the prices will be forced up.
Of course they have the right. Smoking pot was made illegal, and therefore, smoking it is punnishible. If you don't like that, then I suggest calling your senator/congressman, and telling them that the legalization of pot is an issue that will enfluence you're vote.
I don't think that this will help all that much though. As most of the people that smoke pot that I know normally just stick to whining about it on web pages, that is when they have the will power to get up off the couch for a reason other than dorrito's. And even if the entire pot smoking community did rally together and vote into office someone that said that he was for the legalization of pot, he would promptly change his mind once he was in office, or at least bury the subject under a lot of paper so that it never see's the light of day.
we did that too, but it's best if you get on one of their pc's and type

Games in High School?
·
· Score: 2, Funny
When I was in high school, a "friend" of ours was the son of the intermediate school's computer teacher. Because of this, he was able to get us into the lab to play games. This was basicly the only reason most of us ever talked to him.
Well, one day, he was in the lab alone, in a hacker forum somewhere on the net where he told everybody how l33t he was and how they should all bow before him. In about an hour the real hackers had the school networks shut down.
Well, it was a nice idea at least... So, do I wait for three hours for the download, or do I come back tommorrow? I think we all know that I'm going to be stuck here in the office salivating over my keyboard watching those 0.7 kb/sec stream in. My life is so sad...
I would like to have heard the conversation before I place the blame. If it had gone something like this,
Novocin: I have some airplane parts
Depot: Your point?
Novocin: Do you want them?
Depot: What, of course I don't want your parts.
novocin: Well, what am I supposed to do with them?
Depot: Well you could try to sell them someplace else, I don't want to buy them
Novocin: Who else would want these things
Depot: I don't care, why don't you put them on eBay or something
Then I could see why the guys at the depot told him to sell them. However if the Novocin guy said"I just purchased a bunch of classified parts from a shipping company." Then it is completely the Depot's fault.
In 1000 years I'll be sitting on my throne as the immortal king of the world, well, that or stuck in a box waiting to be dug up so I can be propped up in a museum.
But seriously, with the way technology and politics change, we barely know the world will be like in 50 years, let alone 1000.

actually I meant the cheating on the girlfriend part, I just like to included the entire paragraph I was commenting on.

Given to them for free by the school. You'd be suprised what people will do with something that a school gives them for free..

Gotta hear what the Konamii code sounds like...
They'd probably just overlay the images with commercials.
you say this, then you say that it has nothing to do with it?
actually, they'll probably tackle you, then you'll be sedated by some doctors, and they will try to have you committed.
Also, you are likely to have a more expensive medical bill if you wreck your car, than if you fall off of a swing.

We could all get together and simulate life would be like on a planet where you had to interact with billions and of other people, oh wait...
I really want a Humvee, but I probably couldn't even afford the tires for one. Does that mean it's ok if I just rip one off at the lot?
Just because it's easy to break a law, does that mean that you should??
This is the second time I have seen this in the last 5 minutes, and it is also the second time I have seen it as modded up as funny???
I thought KaZaa just gave you viruses(virii??) and adware?
