My mid-2010 Macbook Pro has run pretty much non-stop since the day it was new. I installed Lion the day it was released. This machine has never had a kernel panic. Never... I wish I could say the same for my Fedora Thinkpad.
Is it OK on the left to be a radical muslim in the U.S. military?
Yes.
Why, is it not OK on the right to allow American citizens the freedom of speech and religion guaranteed in the Constitution? Don't fret, I already know the answer to that one...
I think the families of the Fort Hood victims may have a problem with that. But... You go right on with your moral equivalency theory.
Did you have blinders on and earplugs firmly inserted during the Bush years? Olbermann called Bush a fascist, and called for his resignation... repeatedly. Do you need more? You only called for one.
The thing that I don't understand is that Glenn gets on his show and shows video of some member of saying something like, "I used to be a communist. Now I'm a radical communist." and people attack Glenn Beck!!??!! The only refutations of what Glenn Beck says are personal insults against him and his viewers.
Um... Your article is further proof that Van Jones was a communist. Your proof that Beck is wrong hangs on the fact that Van Jones hasn't given a recent interview claiming to be a commie? Seriously? Are you that blind?
Is it OK on the left to be a former commie? Is it OK on the left to be a radical muslim in the U.S. military?
It takes a broad brush to paint a neck red. Seriously, Anyone who listens to Glenn Beck gets zero respect from normal, educated Americans. The man is a traitor, a bully, and an idiot. He wants America to fail so that he can say, "I told you so." He wants you to fail so you'll blame Obama. Glenn Beck is a subhuman poo flinging primate.
Ah, yes... Another liberal who is above the fray. And, for the record, I am not a Beck fan. After reading your post, however, I may become one.
The Supreme Court has been pretty consistent on this. A school administrator has the right to search a student when the administrator has a "reasonable suspicion" that an infraction has been committed. Police work under the tougher standard of probable cause. Students' writings are also generally off-limits, and considered personal, unless the admin has specific knowledge that the writings are the infraction... ex: Tipped off that a drug dealer has a "ledger" in his notebook. Sounds dumb, but I've been there... I believe the case that settled this was in New Jersey a few years back.
In my past experience- No search should ever be conducted by a classroom teacher. No search should ever be conducted without a witness. And most importantly- No search should ever be conducted without the reasonable suspicion that a student has actually done something. No "body" search should ever be conducted... ever.
I've been on the witness stand quite a few times, and the defense attorney always (read: always, always, always) goes after the legality of the search.
My opinion is that this teacher went too far... If she were one of mine, she would receive some instruction on her own limits.
Seems like a good spot for this... Having lived in the south, this is right on!
Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southerner? The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a.40 cal pistol, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
Democrat's Answer: ================== Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
-Does the man look poor or oppressed? -Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? -Could we run away? -What does my wife think? -What about the kids? -Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? -What does the law say about this situation? -Does the firearm have appropriate safety built into it? -Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? -Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? -Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? -If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? -Should I call 9-1-1? -Why is this street so deserted? -We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. -This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Agreed. The WRT54G was a good piece of equipment. Unfortunately, I have a version 6. It needed to be rebooted every few days, with only 1/2 dozen machines connected... at the most. When I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Leopard, the reboots were more frequent. I installed the DD-WRT micro, and it has been solid ever since. It has not needed a single reboot... I guess I can skip Plan B, which was to run the router over with a large truck.
This has been around the net a few times... And it may have been posted *cough, cough*, in my faculty lounge once or twice.

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1970:
A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M." The set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set "M." Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?
Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math in 1990:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels "feel" as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.

All boot camp does is work as a boot loader for Windows and once windows is loaded Windows has full control of your system.
Damn... I run Boot Camp, but I guess I've never thought of it that way. Your phrasing makes it sound really scary. "Full control" sounds ominous, and I'm hearing Borg Piccard scream in my ear.

I am a "non-period username" gmail account holder (not the one I post to Slashdot with). As of 1/17, I am still receiving e-mail for the addressee who has the period in his address. It's nice... He's a real estate agent who communicates with his clients via e-mail. I'm sure they don't mind me reading all of their financial statements.
Google may have fixed the initial account creation issue, but there is still an issue with delivery to previously created accounts. I have been doing what I think is the nice thing, and replying to the senders whose mail I mistakenly receive. I copy and paste the Google explanation, and further explain that I am not the intended recipient.
This is an issue. I understand that Google is BETA, but I will only use that account for trivial stuff from here on out. I will never trust it beyond that. Hmmm.... Maybe I'll start posting to Slashdot with it. Can't get much more trivial than that.;-)
