Finally, someone rational about gun control. Don't forget the following facts:
1. The Constitution was written just after ordinary citizens had to use weapons to defend their freedom. Thus, it can be agrued that they put in the "right to bear arms" clause in case of a similar situation arising.
2. Most 'civilian' weapons are useless against, well, pretty much anything. Your only hope to kill a soldier would probably involve an assault rifle or other heavy weapons (mostly currently banned).
So, you would need heavy weapons to have a chance in an uprising. The 'right to bear arms' clause was to give citizens a chance, so... scrap the gun control crap
Students need to be able to talk about their teachers with other students without fearing legal action.
For example, our school has a teacher that lies to students, only grants A's to girls in his classs, picks on students (the students he picks on never get more than a C), and has failed more students than the rest of the teachers at our school COMBINED.
It was only through googling that I discovered that: other people at my school had noticed, and that people at the school he used to teach at had the same problems.
Right now, we're using this a evidence to get him fired. We couldn't have done it without being able to talk freely.
By the way, for the interested, his name is Dr. Eysturlid. Anyone else except IMSA students heard of him?
I am currenly developing a 3d game based off of D&D 3.0 rules. Turns out that creating levels is pretty fun, but you definitely need the right tools. Try making your own game with 3D GameStudios' A6. My favorite level design software, very easy to use and still very powerful. They have tutorials, tools, and premade crap that come with it; you can easily biuld a crappy game and use it to experiment with level design.
I've heard that UT2k3 came with it or something like it for map editing, but I'm too lazy to check it out for myself. Anyone know?
Seriously, that would be awesome for us.
The main reason people choose various OS's is cost. As of now, *nix AND windows are free for end users. If M$ software suddenly costs shitloads of cash, who's going to use it when there's a free alternative?
In other words, a clampdown on piracy would result in a mass exodus to *nix.
Don't you mean 2? I'm sure that one of Bush's advisors or family friends was one of the people that trained him in the original conflict in Afghnaistan...
Wait a minute... Nebraaska's a state now? When did that happen? Did we have to annex it?
See, this is why I hate Republican presidents. They go along just fine, invading countries and stealing elections, then they do something rediculous like make Nebraska a state!
Thanks to Diebold, she has my infinity billion votes! For President, Congresscritter, Senator, and Director of the Dept. of Homeland Slashdot. (I'm sure you can invent a position to vote someone into, right?)
Oh wait, I reserved those for me. She can get (infinity-1) billion votes. Ha!
Wow, the exact same thing happens at my local library, and an organization with the same name profits from it. I'm sort of surprised that that's somewhat common.
Oh wait, you don't happen to live in a community very close to Chicago that recently finished their new library, do you? If so, please ignore my above statements, my town's just weird...
Really, they're terrorists? Oh well, I wanted to join them without catching the attention of Big Brother Ashcroft... -sigh- so much for joining People for the Eating of Tasty Animals...
I KNEW that I had to step up my efforts to DDOS, erm slashdot, that website. Whatever you do, please don't block all the IP's submitting random chunks of massive code, OK? I'm... uh... trying to study the slashdot effect here, m'kay?
that this was an EMP. If I remember correctly, this whole thing started with an unexpected surge of power travelling down a line. Sure sounds like an EMP to me...
I read an article about emp's in popular science/mechanics some time ago, and it mentioned this very thing.
I didn't RTFA of course, but I'm going to guess what it tells me to do: Take one AOL disk, sharpen. Open your window, throw disk at random person. Repeat. I've been doing that for years...

Ah, a good old religious war. Wait a minute, why are we having a war about this, anyways? I think that we can all agree that the order is this:
4. Windows 3. Macs 2. ???? 1. Linux/profit
Sorry, I couldn't resist. But, really, we all have to agree with the above statements. Especially considering that my lawyers will sue you if you don't... muahahahahaha!!!
Oh wait, I don't have any lawyers... and I'm all out of sharks! Back to logic...
Can't we all agree on that heirarchy? Come on folks, let's use logiic here! If we can agree on anything, we will rule! This is/., we're all intelligent, logical people!... crap
For the past 5 years of my life, Ebola has been one of the coolest things in existence. It's a virus with a 90%+ fatality rate, no cure, etc, liquified within a week, etc. Imagine weaponizing that baby, making it airborne... take that, popular culture!
Anyways, why must science ruin nature's best things? We've killed off pretty much every large predator and made most kick-ass diseases extinct. What's the fun of that?
To make matters worse, we're probably pissing off God (or whatever runs this universe as root). We've defeated his ways of killing people! No more lightning, plague, floods, wars where that many innocent people are killed, and "fire and brimstone", aka meteorites, can't be THAT far off...

I don't mind... I always give myself extra hours anyways :)
You don't really want this "Windows" thing. Here's something that looks a hell of a lot better: tubgirl.com

Yeah, he just kept submitting the same story, once a day^H^H^Hhour.
Today, the Bush administration said in a press release that 20 important US scientists had been arrested for terrorism charges under the Patriot Act

I resent this story. I am not fighting diabetes!
Oh wait...
Does this mean that I have a fight scheduled against this "diabetes" person? Could someone please explain this?

Researchers at some major university have completed a 3-year study showing that water is wet!

Tonight, my school cafeteria (residential school) had processed fish samwiches that glowed. Perhaps this will shed some light on the matter...
Ah, the joys of glowing fish. Now, not only will my fish tank's filter and aerator make noise all night, but the glowing fish will also keep me awake!
Why can't they make glow-in-the-dark ferrets? That way, the things can't hide in my clothes/bed/tower as well

Only one way to find out. Ready the catapult, whoever guesses closest gets 10 seconds in a room with Darl and a baseball bat!
