yep, because obviously that reflects in what I wrote.Now to your checklist:
Agnst: sometimes, but then again, you must admit that people of all ages might get deeply depressed once in a while. Self-pity: not really, I am too well aware of the fact that other people have it worse. Delusions of persecution: No, not really. Gender warfare: what is that? to remind you, we are talking about people 14-16, not about 11-12.
Oh, you are talking about the wages about the workers who have no health care, barely make it past the month. How nice to see a geek sitting on his throne of expensive technology, claiming we need to lower the wages of people who barely make it past the month, not to talk about affording expensive technology.(Ad hominem, but still...)
With all due lack of respect, I want to contest your claim. By using one example, you conclude about a whole set of people. Needless to say, you are wrong. I could show proof, but I don't need to, your claim is inherently wrong, since you start with an outlandish claim and provide as proof only one example.
I mean, sure, many teenagers may be fucking morons, but then again, somehow I remember that it was another age group who re-elected the president that went to a war of favoritism in which we could not possibly win. And since I am a teenager, I can tell you that many of the teenagers I see, including those who may seem like fucking morons, have depth of their own. Fucking moronedness is more in the judgements of the observer than in the mind of the observed.
And frankly, taste in music or clothes does not determine one's fucking moronedness, it is more a matter of weather they care about things that are significant in life, taste in music not being one of them.
In fact, I think that, a student being randomly chosen, it is more likeley than not that he or she will not be a fucking moron. Sure, I know a few people in my sphere of social reference whome I may consider fucking morons, but one does not taint the group. I also know many teenage activists, many people who have interesting things to say, who know what they're doing and why.
The problem is that sony's DRM is not innocent software that contains bugs. Instead, it is a peice of malicious code as of itself, which also opens a backdoor allowing other virus writers to use it to cloak other malicious code.
Biology textbooks/Darwinist natural selection do not contain any moral advice, they are simply accepted facts.
I'm sick and tired of people using natural selection to justify crime/make themselves feel superior (Social Darwinism being a good example). Just the fact that something is more fit to it's environment does not make it morally superior
Sorry if I misread you, but I get annoyed when someone claims that 'nerds', 'socially implaired' or 'isolated people' are objectively inferior to them, and/or that sexual activity is the only way to measure one's achivement. That's complete an utter nonsense. Fuck, I am the only one who can give a meaning and a goal to my life, and I don't care what the rest of society thinks I should achive, it's my life.
d. does anyone aside from people trying to inflate their ego actually consider the number of parties to which a person is invited to be in anyway connected to one's merit? (N/n)
If you want to make yorsef feel proud, superior, and righteous, at least do it by actually contributing to society.
i'd say that it would confuse the hell out of many programmers, since often people rely on the fact that an initialized variable in more "flexible" scripting languages (python, PHP, ruby) is false.
What bill should really do is lobby for the US to stop pressuring africa not to buy or make generic medication.
Human life is more important than the possibility of making money.
That's why I often prefer to use Abiword. I often don't need anything other than a simple word processor wit basic stuff like headers, highlighting and spelling corrections. for math homework I use OOo, but I am checking into using some advanced app like Texmacs.
Standardized tests are not an objective way to test ability. They are usually multiple-choice tests, and it is a known fact that multiple choice tests cannot test ability, only knowledge. The only way to test ability is to ask the students to preform a task requiring certain skills, and such tasks can only be judged by humans, which makes it at least slightly subjective.
In math it's easy enough: If the proof is correct and has all the required steps, the student knows what they are doing, but what about english? social studies? Who can measure eloquence, writing skills and analytical skills? Not to even mention ESL students.
Yes, there are measures for such tests, but any such measure will inherently circumvent the creative nature of the assignment. What is the criteria says I am supposed to mention taxation in an essay about the reasons for the american revolution, but instead I go and show how the main reason was the want to settle new areas to the west, as well as the cultural and demographic differences between britain and the colonies? Should I get a point reduction for not matching the criteria?
That was my first though too. but then I another thought came into my mind: EPIC is way closer than what the authors of the movie imagined.
RSS, blogs, del.icio.us, flickr. they all together allow us to mix, match, choose and publish our content from this new mass of information called the internet.
at it's best, for the most savy readers, this new way of aggregation provides a more in-depth analysis of the world than ever possible before. At it's worst, and for far too many, it is a collection of trivia, some of it untrue, all of it shallow, narrow and unimportant.
Uh, google ads aren't inline with the search results, they are located on a small sidebar to the right. Everything that looks like results, is results.
there are actually some cool new features in Flock in terms of their bookmark system. it is integrated into del.icio.us, uses tagging, is searchable, and uses "collections", which are sets of bookmarks (like tags), that are available as switchable bookmark toolbar folders.
the rest is nonsense, but that is a cool feature. I can just imagine myself being able so switch my toolbars for different work modes, as well as view my most visited sites.
Um, I think that del.icio.us is great in order to find out about sites, in order to recomment them to people, as well as a backup mechanism.
Besides, you obviously don't read many blogs. Many blogs, mine included, are for interesting stories, thoughts and ideas, as well as cool links and interesting net news. No real "depressing emo life". I keep my depresssion to myself, thank you very much.

You know, no matter how much you repeat an unbased claim, it won't make it true.

more like if (in_array($service, $google_services)) { $key=arrya_search($service, $google_services); header("Location: $google_services_urls[$key]"); } elseif (in_array($service, $slashdot_alternatives)) { $key=arrya_search($service, $slashdot_alternatives); header("Location: $slashdot_alternatives_urls[$key]"); } else { whine(); }

I don't think water can even stay liquid in 140 degrees, it kinda boils at 100.

So are your Aluminum foil hats.
It was never He that ran the show, just a bunch of people pretending to be Him.
LOL, i'd guess that pretty much sums it up. (hint: view the whole thread if you don't get the joke)

I think you hit the nail on it's head: anything is true until disproven. However, the way you word it sounds too much like Intellegent Design.
What bill should really do is lobby for the US to stop pressuring africa not to buy or make generic medication. Human life is more important than the possibility of making money.
IANAP, but couldn't they have put the validation code in the function itself?
