Yes, but the point is that the Phillipines aren't sending a bunch of "angry, uneducated immigrants from nations that hate us".
If they hated us they wouldn't keep coming here, and the Phillipine government wouldn't ask the US goverment for help when dealing with the Islamic seperatist elements.
California public schools spent $9,267.00 per student for the education of its kindergarten through high school.
Double bullshit. Where did you get that number? Care to provide a credible link?
According to Education Week, California spent an Average of $5,603 per pupil: 49th lowest average out of 50 states (Highest: NJ at $9,362, lowest Arizona at $5,006), and our students were the had some of the lowest scores in the nation.
The books, written in Spanish and including all academic subjects, teach that America "stole" the southwest from Mexico and that Mexico is entitled to take it back
Well, the first part is true, although "stole" is a term that is only used by the losers. Mexico occupied Texas & California, and some regions in between. There were wars between the US & Mexico, and the US won the territories from the war.
If Mexico won the wars, and took California and Texas back, you can bet that all US Textbooks would say "Mexico stole those territories".
As for the second part is speaking of Aztlan, which is the Legendary Birthplace of the Aztech & Mexican peoples. It's an ancient belief, and it's very similar to the American belief of manifest destiny, but it's not anything like Terrorism, and it doesn't make Mexico as one of the "nations that hate us" (It's exactly the opposite).
That's because you didn't follow our instructions exactly.
To see 75 meteors per hour, we explicitly said "Go out around the peak at around 2:30 am, remove all of your clothes, spread BBQ sauce across your chest, find some cute girls and cluck like a chicken."
You forgot the BBQ part, therefore no Leonids for you!
There's a difference between making money off of Slash and making money off of Slashdot.
The former probably generates close to zero revenue, and mostly by promoting the image of VA, OSDN and Slashdot. The latter generates alot of revenue (Slashdot ads generate a huge portion of the VA revenue. I don't know how much exactly. ).
Use google or your favorite search engine. Plug in a couple of terms, read the links, learn a bit, use your knowledge and search a couple of more times, and eventually you might find an answer. I've successfully done it a hundred times.
Doesn't always work, but I've learned alot using this very simple strategy.
Adolph Hitler sometimes considered himself to be a vegetarian, (A loose definition by today's standards: He ate some pork and fowl, but also ate alot of vegetables, spoke of the benefits of vegetarianism. Pretty radical in those days in Germany, the Pork Capital), and did not consider himself a pacifist.
This certainly supports the point that not all pacifists are vegetarian.

Is to remember not to ask a bunch of linux geeks on slashdot how to take care of your children.
On the contrary, many Slashdoters have alot of great advice on children. Why? Because many of us remember childhood... vividly... often the bad parts (and sometimes the good parts, if it can be drawn out).
We're the ones who remember what happened, and that can say 'Uh, don't force your kid to eat that. My dad never let me eat candy/forced me to eat meatloaf/etc and now look at my wierd eating habits', 'You know, letting your kid dissassemble all of his toys is a GOOD thing. Let me tell you what I do for a living...", "Listen, just because your son/daughter has trouble interacting with girls/guys does not mean that he/she is gay.".
Alot of people seem to forget their childhood, but this group remembers it pretty well.
Ah. I've only taken the myers-briggs recently (as part of a Career workshop). Very interesting stuff.
for men the rarest is INFP
Really? I'm an INFP. Since I was about 10 years old, one of my goals in life was to be 'rare'. The other was to be an astronaut. Looks like I succeeded in one of those goals:)
I don't usually give much credit to personality tests, but some of the myers-briggs stuff has been right on.
Tests conducted at the College of Engineering at Miami University aimed to find this out. 3000 cubic feet per minute of hydrogen was leaked from a vehicle tank and set alight. Over the course of the burn, temperature sensors inside the vehicle did not measure a raise of more than 1 or 2 degrees centigrade anywhere inside the vehicle. The temperature of the surface of the outside of the vehicle did not climb above that of a vehicle sitting in the sunshine!
This might sound unintuitive. But when a carbon-based fuel like gasoline burns, glowing hot soot particles transfer the heat to its surroundings--potentially including you. But because hydrogen contains no carbon, it burns cleanly without a residue of hot soot, producing little radiant energy. This means that a victim would have to be practically in the flame in order to get burned.
If you force the rain to come down, NOW, RIGHT HERE, aren't you preventing the rain from falling on your neighbors? What if there is a drought and the neighbors need the rain?

Might be a better time to go skiing or snowboarding.
Ha! Except that this storm is to warm for snow. It's currently about 45F in most of the Sierras, and it's raining...
3.5" today in Berkley. My basement is flooding. Good thing I fixed the roof.
I think you set the defaults at http://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=editprefs
And then you need to enable posting so that we can abandon this thread :)
You should repost your submission in your Journal. At least some of us would read it.

A mean joke maybe? "Source Forget"?
Searching on google, I see that "sourceforget.net" is a common typo.
Or can you?

And not all pacificts are vegetarian, and being vegetarian (or gay) doesn't make you more of a pacifist.
Da Vinci designed a tank, an assault chariot armed with whirling scythes, and numerous pieces of Artillery. Not very pacifist.
Adolph Hitler sometimes considered himself to be a vegetarian, (A loose definition by today's standards: He ate some pork and fowl, but also ate alot of vegetables, spoke of the benefits of vegetarianism.

Bigfoot, we never knew ye. What will the Weekly World News do? Their circulation has been battered enough already.
Hey, no worries there. They've had several front pages speculating on the location of Osama bin Laden!
Best if you check if that holds true for your particular AC, as cooling and dehumidifying are two separate functions
Hrm... all AC units that I know of cool the air by removing the humidity. Not sure how else you could mechanically cool a room...
And, you can buy additional hydrogen canisters for added run time.
Ok, do you realize how much more dangerous than a simple propane tank a hydrogen tank is?
The danger of hydrogen vs hydrocarbon fuels is a hotly debated issue. Don't write it off as fact.
In fact, the Rocky Mountain Institute (who has been playing with Fuel Cells for more then a decade), says that Hydrogen is about as dangerous as Propane.
Specifically:
Tests conducted at the College of Engineering at Miami University aimed to find this out. 3000 cubic feet per minute of hydrogen was leaked from a vehicle tank and set alight. Over the course of the burn, temperature sensors inside the vehicle did not measure a raise of more than 1 or 2 degrees centigrade anywhere inside the vehicle.

# Start off by explaining "FREE". Explain both free as in speach and free as in beer... though maybe not in those terms considering the age group.
"... Free as in soda", a concept that most kids are familiar with.
