The catch with your theory is that the authority of the school then extends beyond the boundaries of the school or it's activities. When the child is home and is under the supervisions of the parents, you are saying that the authority of the school over rides the authority of the parents as well as all other legal structures, including criminal and civil courts.
In this case should the principle interpret a students activities in a negative manner, then they should pursue the matter via the normal legal mechanism and not try to extend their personal authority beyond it's very limited bounds. There should always be clearly defined limits upon how one person can control and limit another persons access to free speech. The internet represents new ground in that it is both private activity in the home and public in only a limited sense as the information must often be specifically sought.
For the principle to be offended, the principle must specifically seek out the individual's myspace page and pry into it, as would anyone else who wanted to read it and in reality it is not like printed and distributed media or broadcast media, as it is only one page amongst 10 of billions of other web pages and should be viewed as such.
Don't think about the damage they will cause think about the profits they will generate. The endless arms race, trillions of dollars thrown away and why, because they are not happy the current variety of ways they can kill as many human beings as possible. Inevitably the race will shift back to biological and chemical warfare as a way to get past high tech weapons.
The most insane amongst them will crawl into holes into the ground, where they will remain for decades whilst they try to kill the rest of us off. The arms race ends, either once we are all dead or they have so destroyed society that when are sent back into the stone age.
Plus of course the additional technicalities of whose email it is. A web mail, it is most definitely not 'private' email and add to that if the Alaska government web access is provided by a proxy server as in normal, this is evidence of a failure by the IT staff to retain a copy of the logs as a matter of public record of all communications as required by law.
So is it illegally obtained evidence of the illegal act of attempting to hide questionable activities of the Alaskan government (brings to mind other instances where this vigilante effort has previously been approved by the FBI), is Yahoo the only one capable of pressing charges and is it likely to decline to avoid political entanglement, is the only recourse civil suit by Palin for the invasion of privacy unfourtunately all the emails would have to come out, is the deletion of an account that has also been used for government business a criminal act and, of course can you have 'private' email when it is on government infrastructure paid for out of the publics taxes and only intended for legal governing purposes.
Then there is of course the matter of the proxy logs and the deletion of the same, when government correspondence was been sent and received outside of the normal accepted email infrastructure.
What is interesting here is the US army is emphasising non combat roles and career opportunities. This might be a somewhat misleading due to the carry preference to contract out a lot of those non combat roles to private corporations, which means of course the non combat roles as shrinking and young people enlisting are likely to find themselves bound to a career they had not expected. This might change of course as it has become apparent that contracting out those works has proved a corrupt failure.
Perhaps a major restructuring of armies around the world is due. The main adjustment being to change the basic army unit from a infantry unit to a combat engineering unit and incorporating a full range of trade apprenticeships in the training regime. This provides a large skilled labour base for government infrastructure works with a significant labour saving as it has of course already been paid for and only materials need to be supplied.
Modern defence forces need to more creative in being of use, in unarmed/noncombat roles so that are not such an enormous drain upon the countries resources. This also can give a much greater sense of worth for the person serving in the military and provide a range of useful and constructive activities for them to be involved in and in the event of a natural disaster provide an enormous resource for rescue and reconstruction efforts.
A whole lot less focus upon fighting global wars of mass destruction and, feeding humans (be they innocent citizens or gullible soldiers) to the endless greed of the military industrial complex and a whole lot more focus upon being a 'useful' and functional part of the societal matrix.
I think you fail to understand the nature of the pseudo religious/ lobbyist party, she is an ideal choice (don't confuse Ron Paul's republicans with the rest of that defunct party, oh my, a hockey 'puck' mom as president). I have seen her interviewed and when presented with the truth that challenges a lie that she has been spreading, without batting an eyelid she will continue repeating the lie. Now as it turns out this has a lot to do with why there is no IT downturn as yet. A few years back a whole bunch of incompetent corporate executives, were dumping their skilled local stuff and shifting large chunks of their IT work offshore to cheaper but also less competent and less motivated companies (the lowest bidder is often not the best choice).
Whilst it might have appeared more profitable and certainly boosted corporate executives bonuses for a short time, it did a lot of damage to the reputation of the companies and caused real harm to their relationship with their customers. So those companies after suffering major losses had to rehire local staff, dump the incompetent executives (whose main efforts whilst at the company seemed to on ensuring the largest possible golden parachute, deep down they really do know what kind of fuck ups they are).
So now, even in a downturn, companies are still finishing off rebuilding their IT expertise, and those worthless CEOs are moving onto other opportunities that they can corrupt and exploit, politics, business etc., I have heard that privatising social security and strip mining it's assets are really popular focus amongst the rich, greedy and worthless.
Well that unto itself is the nature of open source and the major reason behind it's continuing success. You come up with an idea, formulate and present it to the public, who will then review it, comment upon it and offer suggestion about what you can do with it, to improve it.
Now if the idea might not have been that well appreciated, then the suggestion can be a little terse, however it all will generally be in good humour and it only remains incumbent upon an open source company to adjust it's idea to be more in balance between what they intended and what the greater community of which they are a part interpreted.
Open source companies are often far more willing to try out new ideas and concepts than closed source companies, as they are not as committed to them, as they can test the ideas or concept far earlier in the development cycle before locking themselves into them. Sometimes errors are made but it doesn't really matter as they are generally always corrected, except of course when outside influences corrupt the decision making process eg. Caldera/SCO & M$.
I got a real good impression of what they were like from everybody else, I just couldn't tolerate the idea of watching them. I used to respect M$ and it's executives, especially Bill not necessarily ballmer of course, at least in the previous millennium, and watching the melt down is just to painful, you know, like, I used to recommend M$ products (prior to windows NT SBS, ugh), what was I thinking;).
But only bald blacksmiths use piracy to aid organised crime and terrorism. Of course the most memorable part, "would you steal a car", well no, but you have to be seriously fucking nuts if you think that I and 99.9999% of the rest of the population wouldn't create a free copy of one, including RIAA lawyers.
The catch is it is not just facial expression but the matching of facial expression to language usage. So while facial will generally be the same to express the same emotions, cultures do differ significantly in their willingness to publicly express emotions ie. so while people will generate the same facial expression to indicate sadness, different cultures will restrain the expression of that emotion to differing degrees. Now add that to language usage and language norms and well the results are more likely to be what the experimenter expects rather than what the subject intends.
The largest problem is of course politicians in and of them selves are outliers, they a most definitely not representative of average human behavioural norms. In amongst are consummate liars, true sociopaths, whose expression of emotion is only bound by what rewards they believe that expression will gain for them. So any statistical analysis that draws it's baseline from the average population will fail when used to grade a non-representative segment of that population. Especially when historical evidence has demonstrated that numerous politicians have gotten away with many lies and are still able to convince people with regard to those lies right up until they are actually thrown behind bars, even after all the facts have been presented.
So for the work to have any validity, the baseline sample can only be other politicians, with a statistical analysis of their speeches and the lies/spin that have been latter discovered.
The adds weren't really intended to sell anything so much as to subconsciously change peoples feelings about M$ and the executives team. I never bothered to watch any of the adds, thankfully and have specifically avoided them.
There is this really weird idea going on at M$ amongst ballmer and his cronies, that the only reason people dislike and don't want to use Vista is because they don't like M$ or ballmer. So if they can alter peoples view of M$ and Ballmer, all of a sudden automagicaly people will love and want Vista.
The executives at M$ just can not accept they blew it with the latest versions of their OS and Office suite, they are really lost in their own little world, where they never make any mistakes and it is always the customers fault. So you end up with really strange adds, you can;t really blame the add agency, they just sold M$ and ballmer the only thing they were interested in buying.
The catch with the analysis of spin is of course, cultural differences, in language usage and expressions. In addition a good speech writer and of course speech presenter are required to alter their language and presentation to suit different audiences. Language and expressions and well as the content of the message needs to be different for, blue collars workers than to a group of students and educators or a broad community group, whilst the intent might be be same, the content will vary for each group and the focus of the presentation will shift to those areas each group has greater interest in.
Now as to the interpretation of the level of spin, the baseline will be shifted to align with the professor cultural baseline, his choice of language and expressions as well as his political alignment, not necessarily consciously but it is inevitable that it will occur subconsciously.
The is only one way to detect and clear away spin, record the speech and fact check it for lies and when lies / spin is discovered publish it all over the internet. Attempting it any other way just doesn't make any real sense, especially without knowing any of the speech writers and their cultural biases.
Technically speaking is was not a private ISP email account but a webmail account, it's a postcard account, which under typical webmail rules remains the property of web mail service provider so that it can be analysed for targeted advertising and well has harvested for all incoming and outgoing email addresses, whilst staying clear of any privacy issues.
Brings to mind the kind of targeted advertising that Palin might have gotten, hmm, tanning bed accessories, holidays in Switzerland, investment ideas for the Bahamas, contraceptive advice, wolf paw butt scratchers, book burning barbecue ideas, colleges for rich dummies and Machiavellian politics for idiots.
The yahoo marketing executives most probably have a better idea of what is going on in Alaskan politics than the hockey pucks supposedly running the place.
Consider the flip side, if the religious fundamentalists had been in charge and a scientists came up with a view they didn't like, not only would the scientist get no opportunity to quitely resign, they would at minimum be imprisoned and most likely executed, so yes it most definitely is progress.
Now of course if you had read the article you would find that "he will step down immediately as director of education - a part-time post he held on secondment" and still "He is to return, full time, to his position as professor of science education at the Institute of Education.". So no loss of pay just a loss of title.
So he wasn't thinking very clearly when he made that statement considering the nature of the position. Now the reaction might have been a little extreme but, they were just trying to avoid years and years of religious nonsense disrupting science education in that country, so clearly and visibly nipping it in the bud and, the person who made the verbal blunder suffered no real harm part from the loss of title and a bit of bruising to their reputation.
More likely the reality is that the employee will simply fudge, claim that works as his own in order to seek bonuses, promotions etc. without actually having to do work or even being all that capable of doing it. Likely that particular fellow also borrowed his fellow workmates work to claim as his own whilst at Intel. I once worked with a person like that, all the problems he created where your fault and all the solutions you provided where his and he did bring in some documentation that he claimed as his own which latter proved to be all from his previous employer. Now the catch is what do you don with the fellow, prison seems rather pointless as the work is protected by copyrights and in reality that harm he 'would' have caused to AMD is far greater to any 'perceived' harm caused to intel.
What is really looks like is the Firefox team is trying to lock in customisation rights for their version ie. they want to be the only company the can produce customised, rebranded products of the browser for other major companies or organisations that want their own browser for branding purposes. They should really clarify that the end user is always free to use the browser in it's original unaltered state aside from addons etc.
So it is more of an end user understanding limiting reauthorisations of the works, rather than limiting the use and redistribution of the work in it's original format. The agreement should be kept well clear of any implication that it limits the use of a Linux distribution and definitely should only appear upon initial launching of that software product only. So some thought is required to keep it more in line with what they really intended.
IPv6 because every new internet device created can have it's IP address preset and the RIAA, MPAA and various governments et al will love that and if not preset, then every internet user will have their own personal range of addresses which they will use in their devices. So no choice at all.
Creationism, because evolution was just too hard and dangerous to explain to a bunch of armed primitive shepherds, rather disturbing that it is still true in this day and age. Obviously human society still has a long ways to go on the evolutionary path.
I suppose you can look at it in another way, at least more educated and clear thinking individuals can share their opinions and drag along the rest of society into a more knowledgeable future with out getting burned at the stake, forced to commit suicide or suffer various other lethal indignities, evolutionary speaking humanity at least stand a chance of surviving it's own stupidity, hmm, just maybe;).
However,it is safe interaction. So computer gaming is good for children if for no other reason than it is a safer form of unsupervised interaction and playing ie. they are playing at home in a relatively safe environment rather than out on the streets. Not that it should be their only activity, obviously outdoor play is also very important, however to be as safe it does require parental supervision, often a difficult thing to arrange. So it is not suprising so many parents decide to dump their child in front of a video gaming device, it keeps them relatively safe, it keeps the occupied so they get into mischief digital mayhem being far safer and less costly and the parent gets to avoid parenting for quite a few hours.
Nah, there are just so many game titles, game developers and game publishers, that there is always another variant of a game style the plays just as well. Over the years a lot of games and games studios died, when trying this stuff on, selling an underdone game which you finish playing in very little time and expecting the gamer to keep paying more for extra.
The catch is when then game comes of a being short or lacking depth, then the gamer expects the same from any additional content and simply avoids the game altogether in future. As for contract out game to the lowest bidding studio, all that really results in is pretty crappy levels, which will also kill a game off. COD4 ain't really all that much fun, you just don't need a disk to play, it has very simple game play so you can pick it up quickly and often drop off just as quickly once it gets boring, so really nothing to 'monetize', it really is all about greed and more often than not all that greed results in, is stupid game and company crippling decisions, nothing like a bunch of corporate executives all protected by golden parachutes off chasing those delusional pots of gold and the end of the rainbow.
In this case it is just a wee bit evil. As it is all about running up hits for the M$ Live/un-dead search service and thus misrepresenting the market share of that search service, your typical marketing PR=B$.
Actually having been on the other side, having actually owned a high powered gaming laptop. The worst thing about them is heat and the problems it causes with durability. You don't really have to worry about upgrading a high powered gaming laptop in two years time as it will likely be dead with various failures due to excessive heat load.
You skip the real problem, invite someone to your home and because you don't like them, shoot them, then break a windows and claim they broke in. Another illogical point of course, is every gun owning home owner says awake all night every night and remains ready to kill any one they perceive to be an intruder. Of course the other requirement is criminals always must remain unarmed and naturally enough in the event an armed criminal breaks into a home with gun in hand is less alert than a home owner suddenly woken from their sleep, looking for the gun, loading it who of course still manages to get the drop on the criminal.
Fun fact to add, in a home with children it is a good idea to keep a loaded weapon in easy reach to kill criminals because children will not accidentally shoot themselves or other children. Now throw in the inescapable fact that most shootings occur because of a drunken fit of temper. To protect yourself from guns the best solution is not to arm yourself but to remove the gun from criminals, including drunken family members and other sundry idiot rednecks.
In this case it appears like the current administration is so afraid of prosecution for the various crimes they have committed that they are desperate to stay in power and are additionally hamstrung by having to select candidates who will behave in much the same corrupt fashion that they have and additionally protect them from prosecution.
Oddly enough, the contractors are in fact not incompetent, they know exactly what they are doing. For example when it comes to profitability the three different natures of intelligence, good, bad and none, lead to three different levels of profitability. Good intelligence, answer provided no further intelligence required (no additional contracts), no intelligence no answers found agent bad (no additional contracts), bad intelligence more answers required (more contracts).
With bad intelligence, the threat is often amplified and or misstated or even a complete fabrication, this ensure further intelligence activities are required and as it is covert no conflicting covert intelligence is provided to ensure the lie is accepted. Now when this intelligence is vetted by political appointees who have been specifically placed for their political allegiances rather than their competence, the answers will often be what they want them to be, rather than what in reality they are.
The catch with this is of course full time professionals, specifically not contractors, who tend to hold their allegiance to the country rather than any political party, they tend to be targeted, denied promotion, reassigned or tied up politically motivated secrecy ie. buried under national in-security requirements.
Understanding and disentangling the vested intrests and their motivations is the best way of gleaning the hidden truth from the published lie.

Don't think about the damage they will cause think about the profits they will generate.

Plus of course the additional technicalities of whose email it is. A web mail, it is most definitely not 'private' email and add to that if the Alaska government web access is provided by a proxy server as in normal, this is evidence of a failure by the IT staff to retain a copy of the logs as a matter of public record of all communications as required by law.
So is it illegally obtained evidence of the illegal act of attempting to hide questionable activities of the Alaskan government (brings to mind other instances where this vigilante effort has previously been approved by the FBI), is Yahoo the only one capable of pressing charges and is it likely to decline to avoid political entanglement, is the only recourse civil suit by Palin for the invasion of privacy unfourtunately all the emails would have to come out, is the deletion of an account that has also been used for government business a criminal act and, of course can you have 'private' email when it is on government infrastructure paid for out of the publics taxes and only intended for legal governing purposes.

What is interesting here is the US army is emphasising non combat roles and career opportunities.

This might change of course as it has become apparent that contracting out those works has proved a corrupt failure.
Perhaps a major restructuring of armies around the world is due.

You don't really have to worry about upgrading a high powered gaming laptop in two years time as it will likely be dead with various failures due to excessive heat load.
You skip the real problem, invite someone to your home and because you don't like them, shoot them, then break a windows and claim they broke in. Another illogical point of course, is every gun owning home owner says awake all night every night and remains ready to kill any one they perceive to be an intruder. Of course the other requirement is criminals always must remain unarmed and naturally enough in the event an armed criminal breaks into a home with gun in hand is less alert than a home owner suddenly woken from their sleep, looking for the gun, loading it who of course still manages to get the drop on the criminal.
Fun fact to add, in a home with children it is a good idea to keep a loaded weapon in easy reach to kill criminals because children will not accidentally shoot themselves or other children. Now throw in the inescapable fact that most shootings occur because of a drunken fit of temper. To protect yourself from guns the best solution is not to arm yourself but to remove the gun from criminals, including drunken family members and other sundry idiot rednecks.
In this case it appears like the current administration is so afraid of prosecution for the various crimes they have committed that they are desperate to stay in power and are additionally hamstrung by having to select candidates who will behave in much the same corrupt fashion that they have and additionally protect them from prosecution.
Oddly enough, the contractors are in fact not incompetent, they know exactly what they are doing. For example when it comes to profitability the three different natures of intelligence, good, bad and none, lead to three different levels of profitability. Good intelligence, answer provided no further intelligence required (no additional contracts), no intelligence no answers found agent bad (no additional contracts), bad intelligence more answers required (more contracts).
With bad intelligence, the threat is often amplified and or misstated or even a complete fabrication, this ensure further intelligence activities are required and as it is covert no conflicting covert intelligence is provided to ensure the lie is accepted. Now when this intelligence is vetted by political appointees who have been specifically placed for their political allegiances rather than their competence, the answers will often be what they want them to be, rather than what in reality they are.
The catch with this is of course full time professionals, specifically not contractors, who tend to hold their allegiance to the country rather than any political party, they tend to be targeted, denied promotion, reassigned or tied up politically motivated secrecy ie. buried under national in-security requirements.
Understanding and disentangling the vested intrests and their motivations is the best way of gleaning the hidden truth from the published lie.
Ahh, so it is actually a sacrifice bomber, quick get in contact with the repuglicans they have got it all wrong ;D.
