The principal has that power. Thanks to the Hazelwood ruling about 20 some odd years ago, the US Government has given the green light for school administrators to censor whatever they feel is not correctly reflecting the(ir) views of the school or the students.
California, and I believe a few other states have overturned this ruling and passed a law giving the 1st Amendment back to the students.
Very true. I'm happy Russia is finding it's way back. I remember reading and hearing about a lot of small success stories from Russian entrapanures finally being able to freely open shop and compete.
Personally I wish the west would embrace Russia more..this keeping them at arms length deal isn't good. I'd like to see some airlines invest cash in some of the new Russian aircraft. They're getting to be pretty advanced, near glass cockpit like Boeing/Airbus models.
Someone I chatted with on IRC once posted the below, which is his word filter for spam. Add these words to your own program and see how it works:)

Let me guess, you one of those people who blew a ton of cash on an inferior VooDoo card and now your bitter...
Personally, after reading all the reviews, I settled on a v3. It wasn't the most amazingly badass card out there, but it does what I need, and it was decently priced ($99).
Trust me. It's been a big news story here in Las Vegas for quite some time. The poor multi-million/billion dollar hotel/casinos' are afraid some small gambling sites are going to steal away all their money.
I wish they'd bothered to realize that online gambling will never pose any real threat to their existance.
iCrave was great when it first ran. I turned on CBC and got to watch the morning news, see some shows, etc. The closest I can get to a station from another country on my cable co. system is Telemundo. -_- If iCrave can make these Canada only restrictions stick, it's gonna suck.
For instance, the attorney general in Illinois (where I live unfortunately) is talking about enforcing the voluntary ratings system on vidieo games now.
In Nevada they passed a law enforcing the voluntary anime age labelings, all because some uptight parent caught her otaku daughter watching Ninga Scroll.
Something just seems wrong when I could be faced with 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for buying a $30 copy of Utena on DVD for my 17 year old friend...
Konami has cornered the market for music games though. Anyone played BeatMania (AKA Hiphop Mania), Dance Dance Revolution, or Guitar Freaks? Those are some badass games.
You can hold your Christian viewpoint, that was not his point.
His point was if you continue to walk around and spout your viewpoint to everyone and their thrice removed aunt, you run quite the risk of a Fatal Beating (tm), because the majority of people don't want to hear it. Everyone has their own set of morals and ideals in this world, and to be "preached" to by someone telling them they're all dirty little evil bastards unless they repent and follow someone else's rules..well, it just doesn't seem to sit well with most people.
Now, I personally find the idea that America has become a degraded wasteland because people aren't Christian is absurd. I myself do not go to Church, and I do not worship The Father, The Son, or The Holy Spirit/Ghost. But, I am a decent upstanding person, I hold down a pretty good job, don't drink, don't smoke (what do ya do? Er sorry..old Adam Ant song..)
According to the usual Christian values, I am fufulling most of them (okay, so I lust after someone else's SGI box...gimmie a break!), but because I am not Christian, that instantly makes me a dirty little evil bastard that will spend an eternity in hell trying to make Windows 98 install and run on Packard Bell 486's.
So in essence, my personal belief is your viewpoint is a crock of bull.:)
o/~ I hear the screams of the radishes, watching they're skins being peeled (having their insides removed~~)...Carrot juice constitutes murder..o/~ I wish I could remember the name of that song.
I quite like the questions "Wah" posted. I hope #2 is one of the questions Katz can answer, I'd like to know as well. What amazes me, is a moderator upped your post, seeing as it is nothing more than a venom laced post attacking "Wah".
You speak of arrogance, well I suppose I see the world through rose colored glasses then because I see none in that post.
What set you off about that post? What was it that set off your trigger? The fact that "Wah" tried to apologise for all the people who rant and rave about how they want Katz to be roasted over an open pit with hot Natalie Portman grits basted over him while being prodded by sharpened edged of AOL CD's?
If there's a mark of a good writer/journalist, it's the ability to stir up the hornet's nest. Admittedly, the way Katz does it doesn't always rub the right way with the Slashdot group, but what happens in the backlash?
People talk, they discuss different viewpoints on what Katz brought up. They discuss their own viewpoints, and in the end, people learn more about the issue(s) raised by a Katz story. Isn't that the point of having a forum on Slashdot? To allow people to learn more by interacting with others in these threads?

Compare the ERS-110's to the new ERS-210's and you'll see what I mean.

Well, I hate you too. Thanks and drive though :)
Thogugh, I'd rather have seen mp3.com win..
Or
Sting.com Stings Sting Over Sting Name

I'm content with my purchase. :)
So? If you like it, do it! :)
Isn't that why we run linux? We like it?
I wish they'd bothered to realize that online gambling will never pose any real threat to their existance.
I'm serious, check out the link
MutantRights.org
If this does come about, someone needs to make sure /. gives the get together some good index page coverage...
So where can we get the windows version w/o having to go through Sun..?

I did reformat my HDD. I run Win98se and Beos 5 now, no more Linux. Linux.. just isn't for me. I've tried it a few times, but I just don't like it. :)

What first gave you the urge to become a writer?
I'm certainly not leaving them. Their flight simulators are too much fun.
iCrave was the only place where I could get a decent hockey fix without those damned 5 minute commercial breaks ala ESPN/Fox!
What fun, I've got a choice between Microsoft or AOL now for my latest unbiased *cough**cough*bull----*cough**cough* news.
Just shoot me now.
