    Segregation also perpetuates these myths. A black child not exposed to white children will not know how to act when exposed, vice versa for while children not exposed to black children. When you realize a man is a man regardless the color of his skin and deserves to be treated like a human with respect, you will go a lot further.

    I found this true also. Many of the schools I went to were in the poor neighborhoods. I found that even if I got into a fight it usually ended up with me getting a new friend. Humans being tribal, school is the same, a clique will test you because you are white to see how far, how much you will take, or if you have backbone just like anywhere else. In those schools if you were weak you were a target, didn't matter if you were white black or orange. If you didn't fight back you were picked on, if you did fight back even if you got your ass handed to you by more than 1 person you were usually shown some respect for "stepping up".

    Not always true. When I lived in California, I wanted to visit Compton don't ask why. Anyway I went into several different areas, hung out at Crenshaw more than once. Not once did anyone start shit.

    Racism is everywhere, but I find if you give respect you get respect no matter what color you are.

    Several years ago I had 2 plain clothes officers knock on my door at 2am. They were down the street on a stakeout watching for a wanted person, when one noticed footprints in snow up to several vehicles in the vicinity. They followed the tracks which led them to two idiots who chose to go out breaking into cars just after a snow storm. Mine was one they had broken into. The neighborhood at the time was a bad one, I had answered the door pointing a loaded gun at them, they were more than understanding as the time they were knocking and as soon as I saw proof of ID, I put my weapon away. They completely understood, and admitted had it been them they would have done the same. Not all cops are asshats.

    Rattlesnakes have poor eyesight. A squirrels tail heating up has little actual skin/bone/tissue. A snake striking at the tail (which the squirrel is enticing the snake to bite with the movement) is a hell of a lot smaller target than the squirrels body. So a snake that expends it's venom in a missed strike is worthless.

    Meerkats do something similar except that they will form a line and undulate opposing each other, you up, neighbor down. This tends to confuse cobras and in the end the snakes look for an easier meal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouvmwh29Hr8 about 2 minutes in you will see them doing it.

    You can see a squirrel and rattler here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKIrwwBjhgs You get the impression the squirrel is trying to present itself as being larger than it is.

    While it's true you are not magically adding 15 extra minutes to a show you are also not sitting through 15 bullshit minutes of commercials. More like 15 seconds of fade to black next scene. So other than choosing the next episode you are watching more quality. My only complaint about Netflix is that there is no auto queue, where any show you have in your queue after you watch one the next in queue starts with no interaction.

    For some odd reason I prefer shows after they have completely aired. I just finished SGU, I think when it first ran I watched the first 4 or 5 episodes and got tired of the commercials. I've just started on Farscape (I loved the show when it was on, but I always caught the same 4 or 5 re-runs due to my schedule at the time).

    I've always wanted tv to offer a model I'd be willing to pay for, how about $25 a month sub and I get to pick and choose those channels I want. Oddly though most channels providers carry they have in their extended range and cost me an extra $50 on top of the basic sub. I end up with hundreds of shit channels and I only watch about 12. My wife and I are currently considering getting Rokus and doing away with our cable bill, especially seeing how the cable company I jumped ship for just dropped the only channel predominately watched in my house (Funimation).

    The goal of this sub-task is to identify classes of authors, namely online predators. You will be given chat logs involving two (or more) people and have to determine who is the one trying to convince the other partecipants(s) to provide some sexual favour . You will also need to identify the particular conversation where the person exploits his bad behavior.

    It would seem to me the use of the word participant would incite that both parties are receptive to the chat at hand, in which case depending on the nature the may actually be no predation going on. How does this differ from a chat bot?

    Links in the article point to the school having a system that tracks students accounts when they log in. Meaning he could have posted it at 2am, but when he logged in at school the next time it would have logged in their system as being done on school equipment. Sounds like their setup was done by an 8 year old.

    Carroll says he doesn't think he should be punished by the school for what he posts on his own time and on his own computer. The student is finishing high school at an alternative school and will be able to graduate.

    The article makes no mention of the student using the schools network to post. Come on we are geeks, why would any school allow a student to use their network after school hours, from a remote location?

    FTFS

    Supposedly the school has a system which tracks students' social networks after they have logged in at school.

    The summary makes mention that this was brought to light only after the students log in to their account using the schools network. If that's the case then the school is monitoring students accounts after the fact. If in fact the school has the ability to expel or suspend a student for something not school related that happens off school grounds after school hours, it's no different than a teacher having your child expelled from school because they over heard your child say "fuck" while at the mall.
    Again FTFA

    A bill that would allow schools to punish students for off-campus activities has advanced in the Indiana legislature, permitting schools to suspend or expel students for engaging in activities away from school and after hours that "may reasonably be considered to be an interference with school purposes or an educational function."
