If you enter a new school district, the schools get about a dozen times better, because there's more money per student. They have newer textbooks, more modern campuses, more support for the arts (which are the first to go when there's no funding), and smaller class sizes. This last one in particular has a direct effect on learning.
I have often wondered why History text books need to be updated...why don't they just buy suppliments for what happened in the past few years? I mean, other than the revisionist history and trying to stomp out good things about The United States, etc., I don't remember history changing a whole helluva lot...
Same with math, I pretty much perform integration and differentiation the same way I learned it 20 years ago...
Am I missing something? I guess you can just replace text books as they wear out beyond usefulness. I think that would do two things, make the tree huggers happy (that we are using less trees) and the schools would be spending less money. Just a thought.
Uhmmmmm...NO, I won't feel ashamed...I have been wrong before. Alot like the people who misnamed it "Siberian Permafrost", I bet they feel pretty stupid about now! I bet if they tried though they could get with the astronomy people and have it reclassified.
So if I understand you correctly, you're saying that your Grandma is also your Mother-In-Law?
(sorry, I saw it and I had to take it, no offense hopefully)
Do you mean when he bombed the asprin factory in order to take the heat off of him and the Monica incident? And while that bombing was on the weekend and only killed a couple of janitors? Do you mean that bloody murder?
It isn't that people necessarily print that much. Consider this, if you let the printer sit out for a while without using it then the cartridge will dry up and viola, you need a new print cartridge. You usually discover this about the time you need to print your first e-ticket since the last concert you went to 6 months ago. Then you end up spending an extra 40 bucks on a cartridge because you wanted to save 10 dollars on having the ticket shipped to you.
"Being born wealthy is the path to success."
BULLSHIT!! The successful in this country (the United States of America) have overwhelmingly worked for it!

A statistic from the article - "Most of us have never felt at a disadvantage because we did not receive any inheritance. About 80 percent of us are first-generation affluent."
The difference between millionaires (who have achieved it on their own merit) and those who bitch about our economic and societal injustices is that they do not take what they don't have given to them and make it a crutch for their lack of success! They have great ideas and instead of bitching about the patent system in the U.S. they actually do something about getting those ideas to market or doing what it takes to save and build a successful business.
I am by no means a millionaire or even close, but I also know that I do not have the same desire/drive to do certain things that most millionaires do possess at this time in my life. I currently have other priorities.
I really wish people would quit bitching about the inequities in the United States social-economic system and spend that time actually doing something productive to change their status. I will definitely argue that this is THE best country for ANYONE to change their status in society if they have the drive and desire to do so.
Don't forget those who didn't get in the proper turning lane and rather than go 100 yards down the road and make a u-turn. Instead they decide to stay in the straight lane and just wait til the turning lane is empty so they can move over. Of course this only affects a couple hundred people when they do this, so why should they be inconvenienced by an extra minute or two to make a u-turn?
...that cars and motorcycles and planes were all invented before this whole patent crap started. I can see it now...Karl Benz sues Ford for manufacturing it's own version of the automobile. Benz says "After all he has 4 wheels on his auto just like mine!"
Replace 'let' with 'force', and we might have a statement approaching truth. Checking if your Windows install was legal used to be entirely voluntary. WGA is voluntary only in the sense of 'you don't need to participate...and we don't need to give you non-critical updates'.
Check again. You can easily turn off WIndows Genuine Advantage and still get automatic updates. And NOT by hacking your Windows, but by legimately turning off the feature in IE with Managed Add-Ons. Check it out, you may learn something.
Only problem is that the FCC has already dictated a time where old TV's will be obsolete anyway. I am sure that at that time HD-(whatever) will be in place and you probably won't be able to purchase old NTSC standard media anymore.
I am with a couple of others who have said, this is the perfect reason to stop watching this crap altogether. It will be funny to see the industry evolve itself out of existence...at least for alot of people.

Hehehe...you said "deep six" the porn industry...
Yes, that is precisely whey we are in trouble today, we had a President that was more worried about getting blown than the country getting blown away.
So if a hotdog stops the blade...then that can only mean hotdogs are flesh...so then hotdogs are people!!!
Now there's sarcasm.
had anyone compared dental plans?
...and they would be getting a 74 million dollar rebate in the process.
GREAT!! Then you violate my patent on suing people who violate patents!

I can't wait to make an analog copy of my Windows disc. I bet is sounds like a breeze blowing through a green hilly field.
Here's a question- if MS software is disliked by so many then why do so many pirate it? I would prefer to pirate Linux, but it is harder to do.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I just filled up my 900gb hard drive the other day.
You would think they would include a 10gb NIC or at least a 1gb NIC. To funny, it is usually the little things that kill hoaxes heh?

A-F is a hexidecimal sequene, that would seem to be somewhat computer related to me. Go for it! :-)
