I've used my TI-89 for all the tests in the US (except the no-calculator tests), and nobody has got on my case about it. The hitch is, all of my math classes in high/middle school taught things for TI-83. I had to figure out how to do most things on my own, going off the class instructions as a rough guideline. It helps to know a little bit of the programming language for TI.
"Would you tap your teenagers phone calls?"
My parents sure would have. My sister has caught them looking through saved iChat logs (iChat can be set to save all of your conversations). I routinely use a who command in terminal if I have it open to see who's looking at what I'm doing.
A relative of mine is a musician. He has a few CD's out, and gives some small concerts. When asked about piracy, he says: I'll pirate anything, because if they don't pay for my music, I won't pay for theirs.
Heh. Today, a friend of mine had his gmail send an auto-reply to all incoming messages. Five words. Two typos. One grammatical mistake (I'm not too sure about that one, but another friend claimed it was there). But 20% of his writing was mispelled!!
I'm going to make fun of him for that for at least a week...:-)
Woah, hold on a second. I hate to be nit-picky, but this one part is too incorrect to pass by:
"But since few in the white house served and NONE have been to war, I am not surprised." (Boldness added by me for emphasis)
A LOT of presidents have been to war.
1 George Wasington, French and Indian war, American Revolution. (although he wasn't in the white house) 2 Andrew Jackson, American Revolution, War of 1812, fighting with indians 3 William Henry Harrison, War of 1812, fighting with indians 4 Zachary Taylor, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, fighting with indians 5 Franklin Pierce, Mexican-American War 6 Ulysses S. Grant, American Civil War 7 Rutherford B. Hayes, American Civil War 8 James Garfield, American Civil War 9 Benjamin Harrison, American Civil War 10 William Mckinley, American Civil War, Spanish-American War 11 Theodore Roosevelt, Spanish-American War 12 Dwight D Eisenhower, World War II 13 John F. Kennedy, World War II 14 Gerald Ford, World War II 15 George Bush (The older one), World War II
According to wikipedia, all of these presidents were also implicated in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
It's bad news because it isn't innovation. Remember, the inventor does not have to be the person who submits the patent. Take this patent for example; a patent on comb-overs for bald people! That's not innovation. That's a guy who wants to make money from sueing the crap out of others. Or how about this?(a patent on swinging side to side on a swingset). Or this? (well, ok, a paddle-wheel plane is innovative, but I wouldn't want to fly it). Or this? (a device for moistening stamps: "The applicator may be in the form of a human tongue")
It was socially acceptable--at first. Or at least nobody was paying too much attention, which amounts to the same thing. Now, our president in is his second term, so as long he doesn't get impeached, he can do what he wants (yeah, some exaggeration there)

Has anyone else noticed the similarity between this chain of posts and the Four Yorkshiremen sketch?
Yes, but does it run Linux?
Sorry, sorry, I couldn't resist =)
Bill Gates sodomizes dead goats while clubbing baby rhesus monkeys. ...waits for mod points... ...keeps waiting...
It isn't working!! Doh!
I like big butts and I can't deny, you other brotha's cannot lie... (Baby got back)
Yes, calculus != calculators, but in chemistry, you can use calculators (at least in beginning chem)

It gets worse. It'll be Clippy, but it won't go away!

Yeah, I've seen God too. I caught Him raiding my fridge a couple days ago.
Me, I'm just taking off my sweatshirt now. No joke, as soon as I read it, I took it off (I didn't read TFA of course, this is still slashdot).
CowboyNeal for president! CmdrTaco for VP!

I, for one, welcome our new LAPD overlords.
And in case that doesn't work, install windows! The perfect fail-safe! Or was it fail-prone?
If you are chinese, you cannot read the parent post. It is full of western lies. ;-)

Speaking of good things that came of military research, the Interweb is one of them. Oh wait... that was Al Gore, not the military
Get a life, slashdotter. :-P
