Does it strike anybody as a little strange/suspicious that the 52-year-old Count Chocula spends his time almost exclusively with preteen adolescents, enticing them with chocolate? I, for one, am worried.

Will Ferrell: "Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Brasky takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found em!'"
Yeah, and since funding is now tied to performance, the administration of a school does not want the kids to fail for the wrong reasons. My friend who teaches at a high school somehwere in the US says he has students who never turn in any work, yet if he fails them, he gets pressured by the administration to change the grades. It's pathetic. Add that to never wanting the children to suffer from low self esteem caused by justified failure and you get a recipe for disaster.
It's an army base, so it is officially US soil. Anyhow, we should not try to excuse any alleged bad acts that take place at the hands of our soldiers on a techinicality.
That is not a reason there are an infinite number of primes. The simplest proof is that if there were some largest prime, P, after which there are no more, then we could multiply all the primes together, including P. If we add 1 to this new number, we know it is prime, larger that P, and not divisible by any of the other primes. That is a contradiction, therefore there is no largest prime number.
For medical records, there is the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act(HIPAA). There are actually some consequences to exposing private medical data. I don't know what the laws are for banking, though.
It is not only paying attention to the animals. When they saw the waters receding, they knew something was up. Other folks were just fascinated by such things and went to look.
I understand what you are saying, but that shot was not set up for special lighting or composition. He was driving somewhere with his son and as he passed that area saw a once in a lifetime shot. He got his camera out, plopped it down and took the picture. Granted, he knew the camera so well that he could prepare the apeture and other settings instinctively in seconds, but he certainly did not spend a lot of time setting that picture up. He said that if he had waited even a few minutes to set it up, it would have been gone.
When my mother first got her computer, she would IM me since I was away at college. One time, a girl I knew put up an away message on my computer that I will paraphrase as, "Out associating with a multitude of young, scantily-clad, homosexual men." My mom IMed me once while this away message was up and has never IMed me again to this day.
I would be remiss in my duties if I did not bring up the Cosmic Wars crawler text.

I don't know about that. I went to a seminar in our math department on error correction methods. There are different types that can correct more or less bits. The methods that are able to correct more bits require one to use up more bits for the same message in order to employ the error correction method. In the case of something such as a satelite, one usually employs a more complicated error correction method simply because if there is an error, one cannot simply ask the satellite to resend. The internet is different in that, if an error has been detected, the computer simply requests the incorrect information again. My point is, I do not think they are going to sacrifice the correctness of the information they receive just to get more information in a given amount of time.
Could it lead to a fax machine for complete living organisms?
I think this could do wonders for phone sex! Send certain parts to her over the fax rather than telling her about it on the phone. Better yet, have a template of a much better endowed person's parts so that you can lie about yourself, just like traditional phone sex.
I always hated that about college. Where I went, EVERYTHING was connected to the SSN of a student. They knew it was, at the very least, imprudent. When a student first enrolled, there was an option somewhere that the student could check off signifying that he/she would like to be assigned a non-SSN ID. It was in an obscure place, though. I only found out about it when I started working for the University. It was almost as if they hid it, knowing that this is the last thing on most folks mind who are just enrolling at the university.
It's not that they necessarily have to perenially support old software. The problem is, they are essentially trying to force the user into buying new software. It is as if you have an old car, and, say, Ford says, "We will no longer carry parts for this car or fix it, even when there is an undiscovered flaw, and there is no where else you can go to get it fixed. If they intend to stop supporting something, there should be some way to go to a third party for patches and whatnot. A poster on a different thread suggested that once they end support, MS or whoever should have to open that code up so that a third party or the user him/herself can produce patches. That's my nickel for the day
I heard about that. A friend of mine claimed that they had a family friend whose keys opened his family's car door. I don't know if this was a true story or not, but it alerted me to this subject.

What about Catwoman? New! Apple OS X, Selina Kyle.

So you are saying that I am a squirrel in the parallel universe? Will my name still be Ted Lee Phillips over there?

There's an old onion article about a man named Peter Parker dying in such a way. It was an exerpt from the "Dumb Century" book they put out.
The advice you give is sound. Unfortunately, I graduated last May, so the point is moot. I do hope you get modded up, though. It is good advice.

First the robots will win the World Cup then Iceland will become oil free. 2050 will be marked down for ages as a year of great change and upheaval.
I think robots should be able to live on raw sewage and poop freshly cooked turkeys.

Hmmm, robots playing soccer. "My nipples are hard just THINKING about it..."
...Said the Slashdot member who posted this Ask Slashdot story at one time. Seriously, quite an interesting project he has there.
What if you plan to seduce her and get all her money on the other side of the street??
