If you were a true Chicagoian like me, you would have voted 20 times from a dead account, while giving free slashvertisements for those who contributed to the Tardis Re-election committee.
Yeah... a couple of my friends destroyed some toilets with cherry bombs back in 94. They were suspended for a month, but if it had occurred after colimbine, I'm guessing they would have been expelled. I think the administration blamed it on Bevis & butthead or something like that, them being the popular scapegoats at the time.
Yeah, I can see that to a certain extent. But math and since were the most fun subjects. I had a very good relationship with my Physics teacher so I was really surprised he didn't talk to me first. I wouldn't limit it to math or science. I usually applied my irony in my English papers. But I never wrote anything with violence or hate in those. I think every other paper I wrote was supposed to be a rebuttal against the weekly method of literary criticism that the teacher was trying to teach by taking it to the utmost extreme.
Sort of a troll, but I'll respond anyways. The report was meticulously done, the only one performed on a computer with nice graphs detailing exactly how wrong my results were. I was just frustrated at my poor results, and humor is the best way I know of dealing with frustration. When something goes terribly wrong, the best thing you can do is make it 10 times worse and laugh at it. Then Kick it. Then set it on fire. You don't want to know what happens to a motherboard that betrays my trust.
As funny as that is, I can see why some one might be disturbed by that. Fortunately, I'm not in school anymore or that might end up in the next one.
Depends on the margin of victory. There will always be "multiple documentary films, books, and protests " whenever the margin of error is close to the margin of victory. There aways have been, and there always will.
I was referred to the school psychologist by my physics teacher due to a "disturbing" lab report I wrote. It was supposed to be funny. My results were really far off from accepted values of the index of refraction fro the material we were testing. So I blamed it on microscopic blackholes warping spacetime to create a gravatic lens. I blamed my result on that or " possibly a covert attempt by the Clintons to cover up the "suicide" of Vince Foster"
Apparently, he though that meant I was suicidal.
Maybe his was more disturbing. Its difficult to say what to do in each situation. It seems like some people overreact, and others under react. I think my case was clearly an attempt at humor, but recommending a visit tot he school shrink for further evaluation is probably the best first step.
I think the root of what you are saying goes back to a fundamental difference between experts and decision makers. The experts job is to inform the deciders so that they can make an informed choice. Not every choice, that goes against the wisdom of the experts, is necessarily wrong. Often times experts have a narrow focus on their area of expertise, we often need to make decisions based upon the whole picture. If they deciders make a decision based upon incomplete knowledge, more often than not its because there has been a break down in communication between them and the experts. But, I as I wonder now, How do we improve that communication with out resorting to lobbyists?
why would it? Mysql was written by mysql, with no input by fsf. It would be nice if they helped, but I don't think they have much of an obligation to. It would be more fitting if they maid payments to the other organizations in the LAMP stack ie whatever company that pays linux, Apache, and the PHP nfp if there is one.
The real challenge for English students (speaking as an English student) is that even up to A-level, one is not taught to tackle new problems - only the same problems with different numbers.
And that raises a new question, are the Chinese simply taught a more complex template? Just from looking at it from my United Statesian perspective, where I was taught to tackle new problems in High school at a public high school, I initially assumed that the Chinese one would prove a better test than the English one. However, my experience teaching math in the Caribbean has taught me that complex problems are sometimes taught as rote. I now wonder how much variation there is in the Chinese test. How many new or novel situations are there that weren't in the national school books? The college acceptance tests in the States ( The ACT, and SAT) both try to present complex and tricky problems to test how well a student can apply learned concepts to new situations.
The Chinese one looks harder, but it's not, mathematically - it just needs a bit more knowledge of terminology, and a much better grasp of spatial reasoning.
So... the chinese one is harder spacially and terminolically, but not mathematically? I would argue that those are a part of math. Furthermore, three dimensions *is* more difficult mathematically than two.
can't understand people who think that to find life on other planets we have to look for conditions similar to Earth. All of the hubbub over liquid water seems so silly to me. We have *no idea* what life on other planets might be like. I think that the only thing to look for is patterns which we don't believe could occur in nature, suggesting that the anti-entropy force of life might be present.
Please, remind me to *not* hire you as my interplanetary life search scientist. Or chief logic-tition, or finder of things similar to other things. .
True, true. But thats the service provider, rather than the manufacturer. Its like selling a clown suit at Macys. Having Macy's call it an "executive:" clown suit isn't really going to cause ceo's to start wearing them.
If you look at the history of those two phone lines, you'll see why iphone doesn't have much of a chance. Blackberries were targeted to the enterprise from day 1. Sidekicks were focused on consumers. Despite high profile users such as Paris Hilton and others, Enterprises didn't ask for the ability to put apps on the sidekick. However, many non enterprise users have adopted the blackberry.

Or better yet its like them finding a trail of blood into your house, and claiming you always keep it unlocked. Good point. Sorry, I don't have mod points.
He wasn't mentally ill because he killed people, he was mentally ill because doctors evaluated him earlier this year and found him to be delusional and a threat to himself. And they did.... Nothing. The warning signs were there, concerned people brought it to the professionals attention and they dropped the ball.
I've been trying to tell people the same thing since the book was released. I don't have any economics degrees, just ones in common sense. although, I think your last line has an extra word in it.
If you consider yourself a thinker, don't buy it.
There, thats closer. That should remove the objections other posters have.
It would seem to me that placing any bans on the internet by a state would be a form of regulating interstate commerce, which is reserved for the Federal government. Correct me, As I'm sure you will, If I'm wrong.
First of all, I've proved a definition of the word "if", beacuse you seem to misunderstand it:
if/f/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[if] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
-conjunction
1. in case that; granting or supposing that; on condition that: Sing if you want to. Stay indoors if it rains. I'll go if you do.
2. even though: an enthusiastic if small audience.
3. whether: He asked if I knew Spanish.
4. (used to introduce an exclamatory phrase): If only Dad could see me now!
5. when or whenever: If it was raining, we had to play inside.
-noun
6. a supposition; uncertain possibility: The future is full of ifs.
7. a condition, requirement, or stipulation: There are too many ifs in his agreement.
--Idiom
8. ifs, ands, or buts, reservations, restrictions, or excuses: I want that job finished today, and no ifs, ands, or buts.
Ok, the first post was nice. This isn't, its real. You are living in a house, really historically speaking a castle. You have more money than the kings of Europe did 500 years ago. You are going to sit in your nice house, or from your nice job and spout random shit about free software, completely disconnected from the reality that most of the world lives in. The goal of OLPC is the HELP CHILDREN FROM POOR COUNTRIES. FULL STOP.
Compaines use windows. As you've previously stated they have a monopoly. Monopoly means that most places use it. Duh. If a child wants to get a job at a company, they would be better served using what they use. It doesn't freaking matter if Linux, Beos, Amiga, Risc OS, OS/2, Solaris, OSX are better in any sense.
This has *NOTHING* to do with DRM. Children in third world countries, don't know what the check that is, and don't care. It has nothing to do with ANYTHING you know or apparently care about.
Stop trying to see this from your first world perspective. If its the same price, the governments would be best suited to choose Microsoft. The software works, and just about every company uses it. Its best for the customers.
If you see this as a conspiracy , you really have to consider what the *real* goal of OLPC is. I hope to God that its not : " To promote Open source"
From the web site of OLPC :
OLPC is not, at heart, a technology program, nor is the XO a product in any conventional sense of the word. OLPC is a non-profit organization providing a means to an end--an end that sees children in even the most remote regions of the globe being given the opportunity to tap into their own potential, to be exposed to a whole world of ideas, and to contribute to a more productive and saner world community.
Yeah, but he also said that he didn't know if it was any better in an article about terrible products. I'm sure some search engines are going to make the Kingston = Lemon association.

Wierd things:
1)The smart tech site IP address is the first one listed by netcraft. From the link, you can't tell what it was before that.
2) It switched back to smartech on april 22, of last year as seen below.
SMARTECH CORPORATION PO BOX 11181 Chattanooga TN US 37401 64.203.98.137 Windows 2000 Microsoft-IIS/5.0 22-Apr-2006
Is that significant in any way?
3) Smartech uses Windows. That's neither smart, nor tech. Discuss amongst yourselves.
4) Firefox informs me that wierd is not the correct spelling of "weird".
I before e, except after c, except in weigh?
Does that mean its supposed to be pronounced way-rd. Now that is wierd.
