this makes a great deal of sense. Online news is a much better way of getting news and as it catches paper newspapers become less read. I get almost all my news online right now, its quiker, there's more news out there, its more current, and its easier to navigate.

Hey! I speak as teenager when I say I'm insulted by- oh damn, got to answer my phone.::chuckles::, right after hitting preview my phone did infact ring, talk about irony
Its OK for you to track your child and not some other group because said other group isnt a guardian and should have a warrant in order to be tracking said child. That said, I agree with the grandparent. I'm on the other side of the spectrum. In my senior year of highschool I routinely drove the family car, I'm in college now and still do. Had my parents decided to track me via cell phone in highschool I would have considered it insulting and demeaning. After all, if they trust me to take out the car, then they trust me to drive properly. If I dont drive properly on my head be it.
as for others using this information, in addition to guardianship issues I talked about above, this is a question of right of privacy. A service like this has a lot of potential abuse inherent in its design. The grandparent didnt say he was wncouragin his kids to drive illegally, he said he was concerned about possible abuse of the information.
but tracking down the eggs is part of the coolness of it, or at least knowing where in general it is but needing to find it.....
I actually enjoy the whole bit of getting to the easter egg, it makes it that much more rewarding to watch it, without being hidden they're just more extra material on the disc. Its the same as easter eggs in software, part of the neatness of it is simply that its hidden there
to dispell some rumors, flash can work perfectly fine on linux with the proper libraries and plugins. It works great on my debian box.... Its a bit of a pain in the ass to get working sometimes when your setting up a machine, but once it works it works great
I had a gf at the time. As a matter of fact I'm still dating the same girl now, so something more personal was out of the questionable (though not out of my mind at the time...:-P). Hope my g/f in her every so often perusing/. doesnt see that...
yeah, unfortunately for my work it runs just fine on an amd 2400 xp with a gig of ram and a gf fx 5800. UT2004 has been my nemisis all smester so far, well that and/. of course.
you might want to try tuxracer if you want a 3d game thatll probly run on your specs, or one of the older quake games....
unlike you or me they don't have the technical know-how to fix their computer or the knowledge to know how easy it really is to do. So they think that they have to take it to $300/hr specialists to fix it. At those rates they decide its cheaper to order a cheap new dell. I have a friend who did this a couple weeks before meeting me a while ago and she explained the whole process to me after I fixed her machine with a combination of spyware balster, spybot, adaware, and a couple registry tweaks. I did it for a soda:-P
damn, you're right. I heard it was phil brown from a friend, just checked now and you're right, lar's father wasnt played by him. I bow to superior knowledge
Dell has proven that theirs is the only business model that really works in the PC industry as it stands currently
while in the past this hasnt been true, these days apple's business model seems to be working pretty well (at least its gaining them back some marketshare and revenue).....
how about playing his own father or uncle or something? Lucaas did this with Lukes uncle owen, who plays his own father in the prequels. Not to mention he couldve played an entirely different character. I'm not saying Ford's presence would have saved the new trilogy by itself, but an actor of ford's credentials could afford to stand up to lucas and try to stop some of his more terrible ideas (like jar-jar). As a previous poster has said, its not that lucas shouldnt have been involved (he did create it after all), he just needs someone to keep his visions in check. An actor like ford would have managed that
what costs, NASA is one of the least funded us agencies. Every time more money is needed for something else their budget is slashed becuase they are the least politically valuable to congress. This is just another example of such a move. Just goes to show, politics and science dont mix well together
yes, but its a deterrent. Spamming isnt a business with a large profit margin these days, every time a spammer gets sued it raises the potential costs for the others and a few are pushed out of the business.
for the unelightened/humorless (including the mod who modded my posts offtopic, yes you) slash is a kind of sexual fiction (very often fan fiction) written about homosexual encounters. I was making a play on words, maybe its not funny to some but it wasnt any more offtopic than any other joke made here
I've said this before and I'll say it again, being an excelent researcher does NOT necessarily make one a good teacher. I go to college at a very active research university and some of the best profs I've had arent the nobel prizewinng (we have some too) bigshots. Sometimes they are, but not always. Sometimes it's the person who isnt the master researcher. Hell, I have a class this year taught by the TA because the prof got into an accident and is out for the semester, I didnt drop the class (nor did anyolne else) because the TA is a damn good teacher in her own right. A degree proves reseacrh ability and knowledge of ones field, not necessarily the ability to pass on that knowledge to ones students. So tell me about how many good teachers you've had, not how many of then won nobel prizes.
