Everyone is so opposed to getting kids hooked on cocaine, and then they put out an MMORPG for kids! Why don't they sprinkle some heroin around the schoolyard while they're at it?
Hmmm, where i went to high school (graduated last spring) we had at least 5 or 6 cameras in our high school with all of 500 or so students, 1 if not 2 cops wandering around, socializing with the secretaries in the office and yelling at you if you took food out of the cafeteria. Every bus had a camera.
The cops were the worst though. 35,000 or so a year for telling kids to leave their doritos in the cafeteria!? It's bloody rediculous! They did searches at least a couple times a month, which accomplished little more than causing kids to hide their weed in the soap dispensers.
We had a similar situation in my high school library. There might be one or maybe 2 books on your topic, and maybe a few small articles. At my school, we had a thing called 'inter-library book exchange' where you could request a book title and you could get it from another library to use. It was exceptionally handy.
I've never found sources from the 'net to be all that useful. I seldom use them unless I need to throw an extra source or two into a paper.
heh, read those in AP english. I actually kind of liked the kind of minimalist thing he does. Poetry doesn't necessarily have to have meaning, like all writing it's a form of communication just like an email or an essay or a novel.
They give an image (to me) of a pastoral early 20th centry scene...farms and chickens and iceboxes, without actually SAYING anything about a farm or any sort of desperation on the part of the speaker. But they still give that idea. They DEPEND on the wheelbarrow. He's apologizing for eating plums. He's conveying if not desperation, a sort of "teatering on the brink of disaster" thing where every plum makes a difference. Conveying an idea in very few words is one of the main appeals of poetry.
If a computer can do that, I'll be most impressed.
Hmm, i don't think catapults would be a practical solution to knocking down an airship. My friend and i built a trebuchet this past spring, and, while rather accurate once we got it working, it would be impossible to aim it at a moving target, even the a slow-moving blimp.
Of course, air rifles would become the ultimate weapons of destruction!
Communism has nothing to do with government censorship of the media. NOTHING. Communism is an economic system featuring an equal distribution of wealth, nothing more... Yes, the way it has been executed, it has been brutal and censoring, but it is not fundamentally so.
Slashdot has never, except for a few isolated incedents, deleted any postings, and i doubt it will. Think about it...what do geeks fear the most? Jocks? no, Censorship! They know if they started deleting postings, they'd start losing readers. The ability to post in response to ads really is a great power. If it's a good product, people will post positive reviews, which are worth far more than the ad, while a bad product will recieve massive negative reviews, and the ad will likely be pulled.
That's the system, folks, i may not like it, you may not like it, but having another ad on the mainpage isn't hurting anyone, and if that's what/. has to do to make money and stay alive, i think it's worth it. I mean, i personally love thinkgeek, i've spent at least $500 there in the last 6 months, and i don't see the harm in them getting more business and/. making some advertising money

According to www.theforce.net the kessel run reference refers to the distance of the path Han and Chewie took to navigate their way out from kessel, which is surrounded by a field of black holes, known as "The Maw." However, it *does* sound like he's bragging up the Falcon's speed...
what i *meant* was that he didn't do anything with the explosives, ie bombing, but they didn't raid his house for hacking, it was for his website and his demonstration there, i believe.
He didn't DO anything. He ran a website, where he expressed his opinions. If they were going to charge him for anything, they should charge him for hacking, not simply operating a website and having an opinion that does not agree with the United States. These new "anti-terrorism" laws seem to be being used to target our own citizens who do not support the government, rather than fighting actual terrorists.
Btw, since when is a molotov cocktail a firearm?

But for a measurment derived from a bloody MICROWAVE OVEN even in the same neigborhood is pretty damn close!
But yes, microwaves are essentially light. They're made of the same sorta-stuff(photons) and all the same properties apply to them.

Lol, cats are great. My friend's cat one day opened a sealed package of gummy savers and ate the entire package.
gunslingers? the dark tower series by stephen king are great books, but i don't think that Roland was exactly a real person, do you?
I want a video game on my gravestone! That would be sweet...video games in the afterlife, w00t.
