it's a private school. they broke the rules. freedom of speech, although "protected", can lead to expulsion. and this isn't just at private high schools, same thing applies to private colleges. i should know, i've tangled with my school on free speech issues many times.
while you can stand up for your rights all you want, they have the right, as a private institution, to kick you out.
it's up to the person involved, not you, to decide whether the feel it is worth pursuing.
"most likely this is a case of the school putting its needs before the students..."
the school made the rule. the student enrolled with the understanding of this rule and the agreement to follow the rules. if you don't like the rule, you can leave. what's not to understand?

DSL Woes

this issue isn't always the fault of Covad. Most of the time the holdup comes from delays between Covad and the telco that is trying to run their own DSL services.
This happened to me in NYC. Covad needed to do an installation, Bell Atlantic took their time getting a technician out to my place to prep the connection.
I think everyone's taking this issue as Covad's fault, when a lot of time it's the phone companies problem due to their internal structures and wiring.
and if you're so concerned about having readability in hebrew but don't want to use Microsoft, why not go halfway and buy a macintosh? with the language packs, it can do native hebrew, as well as chinese, japanese, etc.
atleast then you can use IE 5+ sites, open Excel and Word documents, and still not be a microsoft slave.
it's good that you posted the drop in price, but you failed to mention how long it takes to get those phone lines.

on the back of political commentary, half of our country believes that the Federal government should provide funding to local groups to handle issues rather then handle them from the federal level (the theory that less federal gov. is a good thing).
so that, tempered with Democrats wanting to put more money into social engineering programs, leaves us with lots of money available for non-profits and local entities to receive grants and tax-exempt status.
half of our nation doesn't want the federal government spending money social engineering. of course i'm using the numbers provided by those who voted for bush vs those who voted for gore. they might not be the most accurate numbers in relation to this, but they'll do for now.
We are proud to be a member of the TRUSTe certification program.
TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit initiative whose mission is to build Internet users' trust and confidence in the services they use by promoting TRUSTe's principles of fair information practices. In accordance with TRUSTe's principles, we disclose our information practices and have agreed to have TRUSTe review our practices for compliance.
When you see the TRUSTe mark, you can expect to be notified of:
What types of information are being collected about you
How you can update or correct such information
How the information will be used
With whom the information will be shared
We use the information our subscribers provide to personalize their Internet experience and to meet the needs of our advertisers. For example, while all our members see advertisements, they don't all have to see the same advertisements. If we know that a particular user loves to ski, we might show her an ad for winter vacations; a user who indicates that he has young children might see an ad for pre-school toys. By targeting content in this way, we can make it more likely that the marketing messages and offers on Juno are of interest to the people who see them, which serves both our subscribers' and our advertisers' interests. You agree that we may use Member Profile and other information you provide or relating to your use of the Service to, among other things, facilitate the distribution of information to you by others and administer the Site and maintain and improve the Service.
We also collect data to help us operate our services.
We will not intentionally monitor or disclose any private e-mail message or online communication, although we reserve the right to monitor accounts that are believed to be acting in violation of the Service Agreement, Guidelines for Acceptable Use, or any applicable law or regulation; to protect the integrity of our Service or the Internet community as a whole; or pursuant to request of governmental or legal authority.
In addition to the data you may provide through the Member Profile and other surveys, we may collect information relating to how you use the Service (including, for example, information relating to your frequency of use, navigational information such as the uniform resource locator (URL) of the Web pages you visit, configuration information such as the type of Web browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, processor type and operating system, and information relating to the display of any advertisements transmitted to you).
We keep confidential any personal information that might identify you.
Some of the information we collect from our users could identify them personally. Such "Identifier Information" includes a person's name, address, e-mail address, credit card number, and telephone number. We will not share any individual's personal Identifier Information with a third party without that individual's consent (except as required or requested by law, regulation or governmental authority -- it is Juno's policy to cooperate fully with legal authorities -- or as set forth in this Privacy Statement).
We may disclose to advertisers or other third parties statistical information derived through the aggregation of information you provide or relating to your use of the Service with information associated with all or some subset of the other subscribers to the Service -- for example, we might inform an advertiser interested in marketing a product on the West Coast of the number of Juno subscribers who live in California -- but we will not share the names or addresses (or other Identifier Information) of any of those subscribers without their consent.
i love how the above post is a joke and people moderated it as insightful.
it's not insightful you morons, it's sarcastic. Juno is actually quite a good service. yes, their banner ad application/browser is a pain, but hell, it's free and I get a nice 56kbps connection every time.
what happens is that when you connect to Juno, it starts up the Juno browser which includes the banner ad server/tracker in a window. You can't get this window off the screen, and to close the window, you disconnect yourself. Darn. But the window does not track any usage outside of the Juno browser. So you can be connected through Juno, but using Nutscrape, and it's not tracking where you go. Hell, this is really no different than AllAdvantage, 'cept instead of being paid $20/month, you're getting a free ISP ($20/month value)
What's the difference? And part of the contract requires the application to make connections to the internet and install software... the software it's installing is new banner ads and updates to the browser.
Hell, rant on me because I'm supporting Juno. But it's a good service, they've always looked out for their customers by giving them free service, or a fairly inexpensive alternative, and the quality as well as the customer service is deserving of the money you pay (unlike many other ISP's)
it seems to me that there are a TON of non profit organizations throughout the united states with the sole purpose of providing cheap computers and cheap/free internet access and training to individuals.
now, considering most are non-profit, that means that they get tax incentives from the government, federal grants and subsidies, as well as local government incentives.
now how can you say something like your above statement?
because the labels are the ones that provide the money for artists to make high quality recordings without breaking their own bank accounts trying to do it through an independent music publishing co.
killing the labels will effectively make it harder for new groups to publish high quality versions of their music.

Install a LinuxPPC partition.
Install VirtualPC with Win2k on it (preferrably on a separate hard drive).
Install lots of additional RAM to run all of these OS's.

as a taxpayer, that your tax money is still going to be spent, but now those filtering companies will be more profitable.
just because the companies are making lots of money off of the secondary use of their product doesn't mean that they'll sell their product any cheaper.
what we as taxpayers should say is that they companies have a choice in how they do business. they can either have taxpayer money purchase the product, or they can resell the information. But not both. As the taxpaying public, we shouldn't permit software that we are purchasing to be used for information gathering and reselling.

nice theory. must have been written from a dream world.
i think the key word in what I said was "for free"
if he's going to save you (being the good samaritan), can't he still expect to be paid for his services which are to drive people from one location to another?
by picking the person up and driving them, he's doing his job and should expect to be paid whether or not it was a "good deed"
in the same way, shouldn't the drug companies expect to be compensated for providing the drugs (or service)? yes, they're bound to provide them, and perhaps lower the prices (out of kindness), but it's still their job and they should expect to get compensated.

bottom line is that free Napster is finished, it's now just on life support until they're told to pull the plug.
