  2. Ok, so you don't like people showing off. on Diploma Denied To Student Who Blew Kiss To Family · · Score: 1

    I assume that the school made its policy very clear well before the ceremony started, and reiterated it immediately just before it did.

    To entirely deny a pupil a school certificate for a momentary lapse in judgement is extreme. Presumably the school simply plans to post the certificate to its former pupil's address without further ceremony.

    Actually if hung for about 3 weeks, and then marinaded in white wine, salt, garlic and tabasco sauce, spammers can make a tasty dish. But then wine and garlic can improve many meat dishes. The tabasco adds taste lacking in the primary ingredient.

    Relax; the next one is quite a bit weirder. It improves quite a bit after about 10 slides; except that nobody there has a sense of humour .

    They do not perform their true function in life 100% effectively. I refer of course to keeping stupid people (and politicians) off the Internet. Politicians should be coming down hard on the presence of objective news coverage on Fox news, and on the mindless violence in WWES Smackdown.

    I read about this technique about 23 years ago. What is going on here? This looks like material for a slashdot poll, viz:-


    Why do you think that the latest LSI is bogus?
    • (o) It isn't. Free enterprise musn't be regulated by stupid rules, such as "prior art"
    • (o) I read about this in Knuth
    • (o) I slept through a college lecture about this.
    • (o) You woke me up, you insensitive clod!
    • (o) It is an attempt to boost LSI's share price
    • (o) It is a pathetic attempt to dis' LSI!
    • (o) Cowboy Neal has prior art
