Most likely it was politics. I'm not exactly sure because when I woke up in the morning I had only the foggiest memory of the event. Mostly the explosion. So obviously I lied: I was in fact drinking. Sports doesn't make me mad, just bored.
And I duly take of my mantle of self-righteous indignation and judgement. Along with my screen of "anonymous coward" (which I was using simply because I had not yet registered). Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I swear I was not drinking (much) when I hurled a glass ashtray through the screen of my 19" when the news jsut pissed me off too much. The 3 story drop sounds good, but you have not lived until you've seen a vacuum tube go while still plugged in.:->
TV is best with no power. Or to smack repeatedly with a bat. Either way, yes...were my power to go out, the fact that I still had cable would be rather moot, wouldn't it?
I'm all for as many choices as possible. I can't help thinking about the DSL ads we saw in my neck of the woods: "My cable is always going out, but my phone always works...blah blah blah..." I guess it really depends on where you live, but at least in my neighborhood, power is interrupted much more often than either cable or phone.
So basically, from a security standpoint, this (first part) is the worst portion of a SSN to use? The easiest to determine knowing someones place and date of birth!
"I don't even get the point of having a filter at a High School.
I suspect, that given their free choice in the matter, most schools would not use such software. But look at who's running our government, and which kind of parents in the community are most likely to try and get a teacher or admin fired. I think that has more to do with why schools use filtering. They're afraid of losing what little is left of their government funding. I mean FUCK...the damn education chief just said, and I quote:
"The reason that Christian schools and Christian universities are growing is a result of a strong value system, In a religious environment the value system is set. That's not the case in a public school, where there are so many different kids with different kinds of values,"

Because the last thing we want to recognize is that kids are different. Don't be too hard on the teachers, they're 'bout the only people who haven't abandoned you.
