That's nice. First, he wasn't talking about "simple trespass". If a person breaks into a lady's home at 3am, she could probably make the case that she honestly believed he was a serious threat to her person, or life. The rule-of-thumb goes, "equal or slightly greater force". If someone your size walks up to you on the street and slaps you, you can't shoot him. If a big dude walks up and threatens you with a 2x4, cap him.
Also, guns are dangerous in the US because gangstas, crack addicts, etc have them. Not because we have a will to protect ourselves from people in our homes at night.
You might like this then. I live in an apartment near the Illinois State University campus. Our DSL is apparently on ISU's network. They shut down all our filesharing, and temporarily killed our network connections. I run Gentoo, but I still got shut down. I came home from classes one day, and there were 8.5x11 sheets of paper taped to our doors (every apartment in town) saying that if we didn't get our machines cleaned, they would shut us down and couldn't guarantee when they'd have us back up.
Well, I'll take it opportunity to learn something. I realize I spelled grammar wrong, but why "its"? If I was creating a contraction for "It is", wouldn't I need to indicate that with an apostrophe?
You're right, nobody graduated high school as a qualified geneticist. My point was that it's more material to be taught in the same timeframe. My parents went to highschool for 4 years, so did we.
So like I said, I don't think it's that everyone is being dumbed down. I think it's more and more material in the same amount of time, so fundamentals get less and less in-class attention.
I do, however, see A's becoming the new C in college level classes. I also don't think it's fair to narrow this down to the American school systems. I was fortunate enough to participate in a number of different "student ambassador" exchanges when I was younger, and attending school for those admittedly short periods of time gave me the impression that European schools were actually behind ours. Maybe that means more attention on the fundamentals, and less on newer material... I don't know. Either way, this is all from my personal perspective. I'm no expert.
It's not that I think we SHOULD rely on spellcheck, or have to look everything up on the internet. I just think that focuses are different. I didn't have to learn Greek or Latin fluently, but it's most practical application is understand modern word roots. That we DID do. I think we should still emphasize spelling and grammer, but I think schools are trying to get more and more information in in the same timeframes. It just can't work. You can teach spelling AND c++ in the same time it takes to teach spelling. I think you know what I'm trying to say here, right?
So in return, you can stop using their service. There are plenty of others out there. Use one. Whether or not your friends will switch is irrelevant. It's like saying you want to use CB radios to talk, and the rest of your friends want to use walkie-talkies. Figure that crap out with them.
From the point of view of someone who has never read any of the books, I'm surprised to hear this. It did, most certainly, seem to be only a few days between the birthday/departure, and when Gandalf shows up to tell Frodo about the ring.
I don't think playing kick-the-can and stickball are indications of greater intellect. I have to say, I keep hearing this "the bar keeps being lowered" argument... but I know my parents never had to learn how to translate genetic code in high school. It's possible that my spelling and grammer aren't as clean (yay spellcheck), but I can recite more about genetics or modern computer technology than they ever will. It's my humble opinion that the focuses have changed, that's all.
Could you pay the licence fee from SCO, then sue them when they loose to IBM? Would the suit be a civil one limited to the cost of the licences, or could one argue that the effect of draining a company's capital was more devastating than the actual cost of the licences?
As far as legal counsel goes, I think it would be both cheap (and kinda funny) if you use the free legal advice offered by the campuses themselves to determine a course of action.
Nearly ever campus has free legal advice for students consultation.
So basically, only Yahoo Shops customers will be able to legally conduct business on the web? Maybe Yahoo knew what they were doing when they licenced it. It makes them one of the only legal ways for small business to perform transactions on the web.
But this one had the "cyber security" in the title, so it HAS to get pasted all over the news. I forsee a call from my grandmother about the security of the $20 she spent on the internet last week with a credit card.

"Amerikan" should = "American". Thanks.

Yeah. Freenet really kinda sucks, though. If everyone used it, maybe it would be better.
Mine isn't quite so nice. It has read, "So, all you Windows users enjoying the latest rounds of viruses? Sucks to be you." for the past week.
Good thing I don't do any business from this email account, I guess.
Wouldn't that indicate possesive?
It was a mistake. Sorry. I apologize to your generation.

Naturally I meant CAN'T teach spelling and c++... Obviously, I spent too much time on the c++.

I'm sure Michael Jackson would have loved that idea.

I understood it to be. I was saying that the metaphor didn't work because it would involve preceeding illegalities.
I can't even imagine the implications this could have on slashdot if it were in regard to US/UK sites.
There it is.
Except that police colored light bars are illegal to begin with.
Consumer pressure. Where can we all complain to Adobe about our busted software product?
Why would you post this? You know how many
