  1. Re:DCFS on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 1

    I feel that this doesn't only apply to sports. I feel it applies in learning as well. My main concern in the dumbing down in America is the creation of curriculums that everyone can get, no matter what. I worry that many students remain in the dark because they were never challenged. My 2 cents...

    1. 'The internet' can help find someone else with the same problem, problems are not unique.
    2. If it is unique, then you're screwed.
    3. Slashdot decreases productivity, but increases conversation topics over lunch.
    4. Never switch mail clients for your users, you will need to make the new program to behave exactly like the old one, which is impossible.
    5. All Windows problems can be explained by making up words, dancing around, and waving your hands, users will accept that.
    6. Backups that aren't scheduled never occur.
    7. Make sure there are an odd number of people in any group decision making process
    8. If I switched all the desktops over to linux, I'd have a job for a few months and then get fired, luckily they don't want to switch to linux
    9. Never upgrade unless there is a problem.
    10. The desktop with the most important information will be the one that is most likely to be infected, or have a hardware failure (Variation on Murphy's Laws)

    Could one use this to build an add on to a smoke stack and extract hydrogen that way?

  5. I love pcpitstop on Going From Gator to Claria · · Score: 1
    In late 2003, Claria filed a libel suit against PCPitstop.com, a mom-and-pop site that distributed spyware-removal tools. The suit claimed that PCPitstop was infringing on Claria's business by including the company on a list of firms that distributed spyware. As part of a settlement, PCPitstop took down several pages on its site describing how the company's pop-up generator ruins PC performance and tracks every move consumers make online.

    Am I competely wrong? Is it still libel if its true?

    According to the article, they apparently signed their nicknames into the code. D'Oh!
