In other words, a right is a permission to do something without limits.
You have some interesting theories. I'm glad you're not working in congress. There are limits, and there should be. Remember the Supreme Court's example about screaming "Fire" in a crowded theater?
U.S. citizens have the right to vote, but they have to work within given parameters. You are allowed to vote only once. You must follow the process and be registered to vote. You must be at least 18 years old.
The U.S. was founded on the human right to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." However, someone who has grossly violated the law can be put in prison, where this right is temporarily or permanently suspended. Everything has a limit.
Finally, you are ignoring the difference between speech that offends me and speech that I disagree with. Certainly there is overlap, but there is also a big difference. The billboard example is perfect. There are (and should be)many venues where a person can express an affinity for death, but a billboard by a hospital is not (and should not be) one of them.
Be careful, though. I've seen people do that, and then put the weight on very quickly when the food comes back. You might benefit from some actual planning later on.
But then, what grading it not biased? Thirst for power does not make a good politician. Working for consensus, playing fair, etc, are things I look for in one.
It seems your definition of fair grading would be: get as much power as possible.
Where the teacher might have been looking for something like: Act like a good politian; make the world a better place.
You might argue: but he gave the class a real-world lesson about how dirty politics can be. I would add that a classroom is also a part of the real world. The D might have been a little excessive, but since when are we required to separate ethics from politics?
In the last 15 years, our ability to compensate for such disturbances has increased enormously. However, the cost of shooting a megatelescope into orbit is still very high. Option a continues to look more and more attractive.
How do you compare sales in today's dollars with sales in 1940's dollars? Why not pick some arbitrary currency, then? Find something with high inflation, and now we can say that Minority Report has the record.
With inflation factored in, Gone With the Wind has Titanic beat by far. About 9 other films are also ahead of it.
Jesus Christ is suing Jerry Faldwell for trademark violation. Counsel for the plaintiff say that Mr. Faldwell benefiting from what has become a valuable name. The defendent so far has refused to comment.
Perhaps you learned the best real-life lesson of all, then.
Your quest for power, control, and victory was quite successful. Your quest to convince the teacher you deserved an A failed. And you failed in other ways.
Perhaps the teacher saw that you were shooting for the wrong goal. When I see congresspersons working together, trying to overcome differences, listen to, and yes, be fair to each other, I feel hopeful for the country's future.
When I see bickering, power plays, and pork barrelling, I conclude that some congressperson may have won the day, but the country was the loser.
Were I that teacher, I would not have given you an A either.
Having more people show up would be a good way to show that many people really do care about these issues. Even if only some of them are allowed into the session, the masses quietly waiting outside will make a statement.
No arguments there. Actually, I'm convinced you'll have no problem reading JPEG either, but that's another story.
But it's still smart to wait until the standard has settled just a little, so you're not aiming for a moving target.
The real problem is that XML itself is too new. DTDs turned out to be too clumsy and limited, so schemas replaced them. What Congress really needs to do is wait 2-5 years for XML to settle down. By jumping in prematurely, Congress is running into pitfalls like the use of DTDs.
Sometime during the revolutionary period, France officially went to a metric calendar. It came out of the new idealism and the desire to replace old things with new ones. However, the change was soon undone.

Ancient Egypt did build many amazing things. Did you know there's strong evidence that the ancient Egyptians were a dark-skinned people?

And that's exactly what a good nutritionist will tell you.
I think the weird diets get propogated because somebody needs to keep selling magazines. If they don't have the fad of the week, sales drop.
Never mind. It just thawed again.
Be careful, though. I've seen people do that, and then put the weight on very quickly when the food comes back. You might benefit from some actual planning later on.
5. An "Atkins diet without excess fat" (page 7) is a low-fat diet.
The Atkins diet is a low carbohydrate diet.
Low Carbs != (Low Carbs) && (Low Fat)
Flagrantly biased grading like that...
But then, what grading it not biased? Thirst for power does not make a good politician. Working for consensus, playing fair, etc, are things I look for in one.

it's not like he could do any worse, right?
Knock on wood...
I would really like to see Spielberg do E3 and maybe others. Just look at Minority Report, AI, ET, and others. He knows how to do these things.

I think hell just froze.
Titanic's "records" are meaningless.

Titanic holds no meaningful record.

Put your money where your fingers are, uh, so to speak.
How many RIAA movies have you bought or rented this year? Now that you've contributed to them, it's time to offset that by joining the EFF.
There's a bargain membership for $25.
$65 gets you membership and a T-Shirt that says, "Online Freedom Doesn't Just Happen."
$100 also gets you a cap.
Use your employer's matching gifts program, if there is one.

You're right on the money about privacy. There are a number of values at play that must be balanced in some way.
If I loaned you a TV, would it be OK for me to hide a listening device in it, to make sure you were treating it well?
Even limiting the speed on the engine, and other such measures could have problems. In some situations, you must go faster in order to be safe.
Perhaps the best solution would be to put an electric collar on everyone that shocks them whenever a remote computer detects something wrong.
For example, changing the name directory to "folders" because directory has unfriendly latin roots.
I think Microsoft did this because they saw others doing it and thought it was a good idea. One of these was AmigaOS.
Folders are more down-to-Earth and familiar to most non-geeks. A directory is a list of information entries. A folder usually holds, well, documents.
