Say.. did it cross your mind that this guy isn't a teacher, and is in fact just a troll?;) If he is a teacher then no wonder he gets no respect, he's just validified the original poster's comment about teachers being really weird when it comes to authority in their classroom.
Well, we have these things called 'seatbelts' over here in the UK, you'd better hope they don't introduce them in the US or you're clearly never going to get any. Why you don't just make careful advances in snuggle time eludes me, though..:p
Hehehe.. it's like the UK police using YouTube to bust guys who record themselves speeding - recently they got one guy who was driving at 120mph while using one hand to hold the camera - not the most sensible thing anyone's ever done is it? In this case though, they could probably nab the owners of illegal plants if they're dumb enough to put up real pics:P
Their very own highly opinionated/. troll, complete with an infinite supply of hot air, a built in watering reminder, and an obstinate refusal to just die. If you want to make sure that the watering reminder works you must make sure not to leave any Microsoft related products around though, otherwise the ranting could distract him for days!
GTA may be derivative of other genres, but it's unique and original simply because of the way it combines them all into one fluid world. I used to love just running/driving/flying around even for a couple of months after I completed the main storyline. If they introduced proper gear changing and clutch control then GTA IV could very well be my favourite game until the next GTA. It's kind of a jack of all trades and master of none type game, but it is definitely becoming more refined with each iteration. I can't wait until they implement skateboarding (no idea if that's going to be in GTA IV, but it's always seemed like a logical addition to me since they put the BMX in.. unfortunately you can't do grinding tricks on the BMX as of yet though).
I use the 'master password' option in Firefox with a pretty decent password, though admittedly I don't know how heavily that the stored passwords are encrypted.. but it means that unless someone gets access to my computer when it's 1) unlocked and 2) has a firefox session that I've already entered my master password into, they can't do anything too nefarious.
There's no way you're gonna convert me to AC/DC, guess I'm stuck with my mini hydrocarbon power stations. Saying that, I was surprised recently how bearable Van Halen can be. So maybe sometime in the future.
I assume you want to travel and use a real, arguably 100% secure OS so your stuff you are writing doesn't end up in the hands of criminals.
Wow, I didn't realise that MacOS encrypted all its drives by default and had absolutely no bugs or security holes? I'm sorry but you don't sound like you really know what you're talking about. I've always loved MacOS since I used it as a kid almost 20 years ago, and am in fact typing this from OSX on a Macbook Pro, so I'm not just trying to troll Macs.
I doubt the Air would really stand up to heavy travelling either, it's more a gimmick/'lifestyle' type device than a serious workhorse. If he's going to get a Mac for travelling to remote locations, may as well get the cheapest Macbook (or a Macbook Pro if money is no object here).
Wowee.. at under 10 MFLOPS that's got to be some beast of a machine! Or do you mean get the 486 running twice as fast as a supercomputer? I don't think we need another sun in this solar system:o
There's a lot of variables here. Sadly I've just spent the last 5-10 minutes of my life considering them all and was writing up a post about it. Then I realised that sometimes, I take jokes waaaaay too seriously.
Shoplifters aren't the smartest bunch, sure (well, maybe some are smart but desperate to live, though I think there are easier ways than shoplifting unless your government support sucks *shrug*), but proper cold blooded murderers tend to be 'smart' don't they? Maybe I have just seen too many TV programs and movies, but when you're 'too smart' there's probably a likelihood you're a little nuts in some ways too. I get told a lot that I think too much, because I always overanalyse everything. I'm pretty sure it's OCD related. I think that there are always tradeoffs when it comes to being 'gifted' in some way - all the great artists and thinkers seem to have been depressed.
Then there's the fact that if he was in a rage or drunk then that pretty much negates all the smarts you have too.. I don't know much about the circumstances though, just from what I've seen in summaries and comments on/.
Faster, but probably with a higher error rate. I can type pretty fast but I've got my deletion down to a fine art too:P Those who learned to type on typewriters will presumably have learned to not make so many mistakes, because they were a lot more difficult to correct (though not impossible I guess? there used to be tape or something you could put over mistakes?).
If I had no delete key I'd learn to be a lot better typist than I am now:s
I think you're a little confused. The large hardon collider won't work properly if you're behind it - you want the large black hole collider, next door.
Yeah I know - where will we all get our movies and music from if we can't download them illegally online!? The government must do something to end this madness!
Apart from the fact that it's an impossible task and doomed to fail anyway, at least their heart is in the right place. Kind of. The internet provides an extremely easy way of breaking copyright with little risk of repercussion. I agree that the law system in America has become so fucked up that a lot of issues such as **AA against the world have gone insane, and the copyright and patent laws in America could do with a bit of revisiting too.. but that doesn't meant that breaking copyright in the meantime is legal and they should just sit idly by and watch it happen *shrug*
I prefer all my whips to be fully quality assured and debugged before using them to abuse my equestrian fellows. Anything else is just a waste of tax payer's money.

Going on vacation is not gonna help now that they can text you too .. you would have to go live in an Amish community or a monastery.

May be a little flamebaitish to say this - but a lot of people in the US could actually do with eating less :p
The next step is obviously using a moped and a hooded cloak to disguise the cow.
:p
Step after that is using a Segway, with the livestock going piggyback. In fact, maybe that's how the phrase 'piggy back' originated..

You would think that.. but it turns out that there aren't!

Sure they can do better than flops - you ever hear about those megaflops? They're even bigger than normal flops.

I think I'd use that one for ctrl-alt-delete myself. Then the same on the other hand to get alt-whatever for the 'kill task' button :)

Don't forget to include a couple of MP3s to sweeten the deal
