the implementation of the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) AND an operational virtual highway system to automate piloting the devices, will I be able to play Duke Nukem Forever with my skycar-mates while we're on our way to work? The four of us can surely put together the $995,000 ($100,000 down now) necessary for one of the first positions once they're ready.
they'll be able to track the RFIDs that we all got implanted when we went to Barcelona (and of course, the ones that the government has implanted just at the nape of the neck, where we are also marked with our dioceses).
Privacy? That just inconveniences those who are trying to protect us. Volunteer for the next step now: Take off those annoying doors. What, you got something to hide?
A perfect example of how robots are working behind the scenes to ensure that we remain protected and healthy.
I'm sure that John and Sarah Conner and Neo all felt that way. At first!
As we're marched off to our pods to provide energy for our robot overlords, in a dazed stupor because their water monitoring robot cohorts slipped us a collective mickey, I hope you have enough consciousness to remember this moment.

The Police were overwhelmed and the whole site was taken over by party workers, who then proceeded to push the button for their candidate again and again and again.

Phantom Of Krankor: Come now, Professor. What a silly question. I can't be bothered to keep track of your worthless servants. We blasted him out of an airlock, so by now he's probably fallen into a star! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!
things are still shining bright. The workers are, at least, and that's good enough for me. AND, I wear my sun glasses at night, so I can, so I can, see you even when I close my eyes.

to make sure that solar energy will never be cost-effective. Clever, but diabolical.
Second: The school should have been paying the teachers to be doing this instead of depending on their volunteering. This is work. Just because individual teachers are dedicated and want the kids to succeed doesn't mean that states/cities/school boards should budget as if teachers volunteer work is expected.
The union was protecting all of it's members AND the kids by getting the school board to pony up the money to make sure that this isn't dependent on the good will of individual teachers but is budgeted and planned for.
Why are the vast majority of these anti-teacher screeds AC?
First, teachers have to get to school up to an hour before the kids get there for internal meetings, class setup, etc.
Second, teachers can spend hours after class going over tests/papers/paperwork/report cards. And of course they then have to plan out the next days lesson plan.
Gee, I live in NYC and my wife has been a teacher for a number of years and if we depended on her salary (especially when she was starting out), we would have been able to afford a really nice (used) cardboard box in an outer borough. Maybe.
My anecdotal evidence has thrown your anecdotal evidence into a vat of acid and is giggling as it slowly burns away, writhing in agony.
Teachers are not paid a decent wage. They're usually not paid a livable wage. Despite this, most teachers kick in personal funds to do what they can to improve the classroom experience.
People consistently undervalue teaching, seeing it as one of the first things to cut (never any of the "important" programs, just our kids education) whenever there is any budget bumps. They intrinsically disrespect the profession.
But please, do keep peddling your unsupported, "I said it so it must be true", AC load.

valuing these individuals known as teachers and paying them a decent, livable wage and treating them with the respect you'd "expect" for someone that is educating your damn children, instead of seeing their profession as something any idiot can do (because they have life experience after all) and anyway, they should be doing it for the love of the job and anyway we're already overbudget because of these cool computers and...
I'm sure if I hold my breath, it will happen before I pass out and bump my head against the desk. Here I go....mmmph...mmmprhu.....BAM!
does one have to be to decide: it's too difficult to carry money or plastic or identification. I'll just have a "nurse" implant a device under my skin.
They should be ashamed that they're NOT drunk when they do this.
Good thing I'm not a fundamentalist or I'd see this as an indicator of people volunteering for the Mark of the Beast.

You have to boil them if you want them clean enough.

I've been using this particular method of ensuring cleanliness amongst new employees for the past few years. As long as you are willing to put up with about 7% "breakage" and a few months of beet red survivors, it's quite effective and much less invasive then injecting them with...wait, now that I think about it, injections would probably be much more humane/effective. Boy, I wish I'd thought this through years ago. Oh, well. Live and learn (for those that survived).

Why horizontal instead of vertical and are color album cover icons a good usage of space/processing? Especially if it doesn't have Firewire.
