With all the money the RIAA execs get from suing other students, it's not likely they'd have to send their kids to college just how they can make more money.
You may be a bit hard pressed to find humans, who would be digging around Earth in the first place, that don't have the necessary capabilities to magnify an image a couple hundred times.
What's even more frightening is how long it took them to come up with a plausible excuse for why he was being arrested. 'Inciting a riot', and that was a good ten minutes after they had initially arrested him for resisting arrest. If we're going to keep these policemen in employment, we'd better at least start looking for smarter ones. We may not have a balance of justice any better than we do now, but at least the cops will know what they're arresting people for.
This is like coming up to an intersection where there's a cop car diverting traffic and you ignore him
Uhm, no, this is nothing like that. If you ignore a cop at an intersection in a big metal box then you ARE putting peoples lives at risk. You are actually causing a disturbance because you are failing to follow SAFETY restrictions, not SPEECH restrictions.
I don't know what half of you posters are even fucking thinking. Is this an early April Fools?
You clearly exaggerate everything you watched, and your "arguments" (I'm more inclined to just say you were offended because you sleep with policemen) follow suit. It's ridiculous that there should have even been a counter to judge this so called escalation by. What would have been absolutely appropriate in this case is if he had been forcibly escorted out of the auditorium, not arrested for violating the attention spans of a few kindergarten dropout cops.

Exactly my situation as well. None of the work I did was challenging, therefore I did not do it, and hence, I had never been put in the programs I deserved to be in. They call you brilliant and exceptionally intelligent when your state test scores are higher than 99% of your peers, but hold you back because you're not proving it to anyone but an administrative board that spews out statistics like they were an early birthday present. What ended up happening was through the entirety of high school I did a near constant absentee amount of work, while sitting at home reading books about the more advanced and exciting subjects I would need to wait until at least my junior year in college to do. This then resulted in my refusal to complete such academically mediocre work in school, almost demanding to know the reason why they kept me in the same ranks as people who dull themselves with the same rock, coming back the next day for another grind.

Here in Arizona, the only "recognition" they EVER give gifted kids is to just put them in GATE (Gifted and talented education) classes until they get bored with those. I had a 9th grade reading level in 3rd grade, was put in the program until middle school, where I was never to be noticed again. Oh, that's not to say all my teachers didn't think I WAS a genius, but idle appreciation doesn't beat advancement. All the kids who were "high achievers" got themselves launched head first into the better programs throughout middle school and high school, but you'd be hard-pressed to find one of those kids who actually retained what they've "learned". All I'm saying here is that the grade skipping and the advanced placement is a biased process, and many kids worth teaching didn't get the same lucky treatment...
Hey, you, meaningless nitpicker. Yeah that's right, you. Physical weaknesses (mis-spacing) are not symptoms of stupidity, as much as you'd wish they were.
Outweigh the needs of the few. Or, at least, that's how they see it. Unfortunately nobody seems to have the ability to see what the few could have done for the many if they had been treated properly in the beginning.
Let us all microwave a burrito for a couple moments to mourn the coming expansion of microwave radiation frequency, much like our burritos will soon explode from being left in for too long.
Another obvious article on Slashdot? Every physical and mental task you do tells about yourself in the way you do it. This is no different from the way somebody eats a pizza, or how you choose to put pepperoni on your pizza.

You're talking to a crowd who probably has no trouble differentiating between a size 34 C and a size 35 C.
Because they care about being in control of their own lives...
I thought that much was obvious.
True. eBooks > school :)

Neh, same to me. I'm going off to college now, though. I'm damn glad I don't have to deal with high school anymore.

I'd think any geek would have rationalized this. Why is it on Slashdot?
This is great for games like Counter-Strike and Unreal Tournament. They will be getting more exposure from the public and might even go mainstream...
