Kent State is not the EPA. Government hiring guidelines do not apply to Kent State.
Its not a government hiring guideline. Kent State can't put up signs saying 'No blacks' either.
Unless Ohio law says Kent State can't discriminate on sexual orientation, they can. But that's neither here nor there.
They can't, because Federal law says they can't. Federal law still applies to Kent state.
Kent State is not abridging the right to free speech. They're setting terms to the privilege of participation in intercollegiate athletics.
They are saying you cannot express yourself in a certain way if you want to participate. It doesn't matter that playing on the team is a privledge, a government agency is engaging in censorship. Please show me the part of the Constitution that says its ok to abridge free speech by any means other than putting someone in jail.
Kent State is allowed to set a code of conduct to which all students must agree in order to have the privilege of participation in intercollegiate athletics.
So, while Kent State can kick me off the basketball team for having a Facebook profile, they can't send me to jail for having one, and that's the fundamental difference you're not understanding.
Decorate censorship any way you feel comfortable. FYI, the government can't restrict free speech, regardless of the penatly they set up. Please cite the part of the first amendment that says government can restrict free speech as long as the restriction doesn't land you in jail.
Don't worry, it will be quite a while before any DX10 games come out. You still have a few years left before you'll have to buy a new OS. $140 for 5 years averages to $28 a year for the cost of your OS. Not as big a deal if you look at it that way..
What I find really amusing is how many MS fans will say 'Oh, obviously; DX10 depends on LDDM, and XP doesn't have Longhorn's nifty new driver model!'.... Yet 98SE supported both WDM and it's predecessor, at the same time.
And win98 crashed a hell of a lot more too, didn't it?
What's keeping MS from backporting some of the new Longhorn kernel/driver niftiness to XP? Oh, right. Money. There's no money in adding new things to an already-sold product. It's all about selling the new hotness.
Um, ya. Do you expect all the new features for a 2006 model car to be backported to your 2003 model? Why do you expect the same from software?
Who said it had anything to do with the public API? They said the internal workings would have to be much different to support XP, and that they would be sacrificing alot of performance to make it XP compatible.
Of course being the anti-MS fanboy zealot you claim that its hard to believe their reasons, even though you know nothing of their driver implementation or DX implementation or any of the restrictions that getting DX10 to work on XP brings. Basically, you're not qualified to evaluate their statements, but you chose to do so anyway.
I'm sure you never ever came across a situation where you just couldn't make the code any better because of other restraints you have to stick with. That never happens in the real world does it?
As homosexuals are not a protected class in federal law
Actually they are. Government agencies (which Kent is) are not allowed to discriminate based on sexual orientation. Since Kent is a state university, it must also follow the first amendment, meaning it can't abridge the right to free speech.
People who are already getting special treatment have maintenance of that special treatment as a constitutional right?
No, they have constitutional right to keep their constitutional rights. Also, as a STATE agency, Kent is not allowed (via the 1st amendment) to restrict free speech.
While I basically agree with you, I would like to point out that the universities are footing the students educational bill by way of athletic scholarships, thus should have a little say in the student athlete's behavior that could reflect on the university.
I think a country that allows its citizens to sell their rights is in trouble. Its funny too; you can't sell your right to freedom (i.e., becoming a willing slave), but you can sell other rights.
It doesn't matter if it was accidental or not. You view it, you're guilty of possessing it.
No jury would buy the 'it was an accident' story either. This is one of those things were if you're accused, it doesn't matter what the truth really is.
All because the police are too lazy to find the people actually creating the stuff in the first place.
Without those exits though, the roads would be much less useful. Whats the point of having an interstate if it takes you 3 hours just to get to it?
Personally I use the interstate all the time, but its to get through the city (well it was, until I moved to a city that didn't finish the outer and inner loops like most cities have).
Of course, because people travel on the autobahn the same distances people drive here on the interstate. Wait, they don't.
It has nothing to do with th curviness or straightness of the road. My quick search didn't even mention that as a cause (although the broken white line was sighted as a possible cause).
I don't suppose you could link to some facts backing you up?

When they are stopping me for the simple act of driving down a road, yes.
I did, I didn't see anywhere that said they changed the driver model soley to accomodate DRM.

Maybe because I find it insulting that someone assumes I'm dishonest?

Um, ya. Do you expect all the new features for a 2006 model car to be backported to your 2003 model? Why do you expect the same from software?
Because the code (DX10) using the interface (HW driver API) has to deal with a new API that can allow for greater performance.
Who said it had anything to do with the public API? They said the internal workings would have to be much different to support XP, and that they would be sacrificing alot of performance to make it XP compatible.
Care to back that up with some references? Preferably directly from MS, as they are the ones building DX10.

So would giving a copy to a family member or friend be considered private use?
Playboy isn't political speech either, yet its protected. Speech does not have to be political in nature to be protected.

Which is exactly why we should ban federal taxes on individuals.
I had a discussion with the parent poster at some length; he definatly is a lawyer.

You know you could just move closer to work.

When you feel bitter, just remember that it wouldn't be cost effective to run a train which stops at all the little towns along the interstate.
Nevermind that there's no way a rail system could function as a replacement.
There are plenty of places and towns where it just wouldn't be economical to run a train to, and thus they wouldn't have any transportation at all.
But feel free to continue comparing Europe to the US. Its not like the US is much larger than western europe or anything.
Why wouldn't they count over / under passes? They are still bridges, are they not?
