True actually. We had a problem with GPA inflation, where some kids would come in with extra credits, and end up having GPAs of something like 6 on a 4 scale. Its all honor's classes, but still, someone like me who came in with nothing and gets straight A's can get a GPA in the high 4s, and still be in the bottom third of the class. So they eliminated class rank. And now the focus is on learning, not having to worry about other people's inflated ranks.
And then, when it becomes obsolete, and cannot be upgraded, you will do anything to help it keep living. You just can't stand the idea of tossing it to the wolves.
Hey, people copy my homework plenty of times, with or without my knowledge. Do I care? As long as they know enough to make sure it isn't identical, and actually get something out of it, I'm fine with that.
Big whoop. I don't need a gas guzzling SUV, niether do must people who own them. Perhaps in rural areas, it makes sense to own one, but in uban areas, why not conserve fossil fuels while some are left? And better yet, why not just decrease our dependance on fossil fuels altogether? The changes wouldn't be instant, so people would adapt.
*Nit pick alert!*
After serving as first officer on the Relient (sp?) Chekov was moved to be security and tatical officer on the Enterprise A. Sulu was the one commanding Excellsior. (I can't spell it either...)
Probably already said, but what if the person logged on is not the same as the person the account belongs to? How are you going to get the right person?
I went to a Catholic grammer school, where we were taught evolution and how it fit into the Genesis story. It seemed to fit, because after all, we were always told that the Bible was mostly stories to be interpreted. There was even a way in for religion into Cell Theory. If all cells came from other cells, where did the first cell come from?
Ban their product entirely? Why go that far? Why not just forced them to sell each application or program seperately? Why not make it so that their programs could be removed? WHy not split them up? You get the idea. There are plent of not so drastic, yet still damaging things that could work. Look around at the other posts. You'll see.
But I don't know everything.... But for some reason, for the past couple of years, many of the things to come out of this administration have really annoyed me. And I'm sorry about being a bit in your face. Maybe its time for me to take a walk outside. Sorry.
Its because I've been working my ass off for the past 15 years trying to reach my dreams. I shouldn't even be in that school, according to most people. But I tried to work hard, and it worked out. But now, I get home at 8, do homework, watch the news, and sleep. Thats it, except for weekends.
I don't watch MTV. I go to the top high school in my state, which means I have about 2 hours of TV watching per week. I have made up my mind on my own.
I would like to apologize on behalf (sp?) of most of the citizens of America. The government is going crazy, and if not stopped, will probably reach the levels of the Alien & Sedition Acts. Ah well, it'll all change in November. Just wish I was old enough to vote.
Like Lucas Arts lacked guts and killed Sam&Max before it could be released.

*Sarcasm, people.
I'm a freshman in highschool, and that has always been my dream, and still is. When Columbia broke up last year, my mom started trying to talk me out of it, but I'm still holding true to my dreams. Always stay true.
Pluto was the Roman God of the Under World and the god of the dead. He was the counter-part of Greek Hades, who fulfilled the same position, in addition to being god of minerals.

Because for some reason our government seems to think our laws apply to all corners of the earth. Silly people. Remember what happened to Rome?

Better yet, a 2-bit version: 01 You may have to scale, tile, and rotate it.

Time to move over to freenet. And get behind a firewall. All you people using open Kazaa accounts need to do something right away about annonimity.
It all depends on your point of view is. Always consider the other point of view.
You forgot your tinfoil hat! What are you thinking, posting that under your username?
What does John Ashcroft have to do with Copyright? Or is this a totally different person?

But see, you have to pay for XM and cable. That would be restricting uncensored media to only the priviledged.
Did you remember to put on your tinfoil hat before you posted that? Remember, they're always watching!
I think funny is more appropriate.
Umm, are the mods on some kind of psycadelic(sp?) mushroom? I think it'd be more funny than anything.
