This story sums up nicely societies and the laws take on gender equality in sexual convictions. This is not the first time a woman has walked from these sorts of charges either.
If the genders had been reversed the teacher would be looking at 5-8 years gaol.
Interestingly enough, 100 years ago a farmer could feed, clothe, and house his family for a year and it cost him the equivalent of 13 twenty-first century working weeks to do it.
So who is better off?
There is an Australian comedy called 'Chaser' and they do man in the street interviews with average USians.
It is quite an insight into US culture (even more so than 'Dude, where's my car'. Here's the links (you need realplayer and a sense of humour. I have no personal affiliation with these sites). http://www.abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/video/ http://www.abc.net.au/cnnnn/
They mandate levels of local programming to stop the US media companies from diluting/damaging their own culture and/or their own local interests(eg employment for actors). Take Baywatch for example. They charge a fortune for it where they can (in a mature marketplace - say Australia) and practically give it away in a less mature marketplace.
If it cost's $10,000 to create a one hour show in Tanzania, for Tanzanians using Tanzanian actors but the local network can get Baywatch for $1000 which product are they going to go with?
And, that doesn't even take into account the ultimate ownership of the local media company which could even be the original manufacturers of Baywatch.
I guess this isn't the time or place to mention that the foreign ownership of the media company in Tanzania was forced upon that country under some form of Austerity/whatever measure imposed by a supposedly beneficial 'global' trade organisation.
If quantum terrorists are hurting people then it's in the best interest's of everyone to keep it a secret. As far as conspiracy theories go who could deny the existence of black helicopters these days?
I even found a picture online. I made mine from a copy of Electronics Australia. That was replaced by a Z80 S100 based system 9that I built myself. I also had a home built 2650 for a while. Here's the SC/MP image http://eddiem.com/micros/micros.htm
Negroponte wants to start shipping the cheap laptop, which is to have wireless network access and a hand-crank to provide electricity, later this year. The aim is to have governments or donors buy them and give full ownership to the children.
Negroponte, who is also chairman of the MIT Media Lab, has said he expects to sell 1 million of them to Brazil, Thailand, Egypt and Nigeria.
Gee I wonder where the 'donor' money will come from. I can see Brazil telling them to get stuffed based on past experience.
There used to be consensus that the earth was flat. That didn't make the claim scientific.
As we all now know the Earth isn't flat. People used to be excoriated, ridiculed, gaoled, and in many cases killed for these heretical beliefs. They haven't yet gone to such extremes with the global warming proponents but I can see some similarities (especially in that bastion of freedom, liberty, and intellectual honesty currently ruling this flat planet).
Even New Zealand isn't an option anymore. Since the wealthy US citizens have all decided that the place to go is NZ (what with the financial meltdown that is coming) they have made it so that the locals can no longer afford to buy or rent housing.
It's going to be quite funny when all the seppo's start spreading out all over the world when they have ruined their own country and find out just how the majority of the rest of the world really feels about them.
It always surprises me when I read on/. such back to front ideas. The Iranian leader said Israel should be in Europe and should be wiped from the middle eastern map as they (the middle eastern countries)shouldn't have to pay for europe's mistakes.
Then again in your world the USA does no wrong and Israel is a democratic defender of human rights.

Do Microsoft's lawyers/Board of Directors post here too?

just like all linux content is on paid servers right? The only word you got right was 'shit'.

He said that you could learn everything you need to know about US culture by watching "Dude, where's my car".
Maybe the patent was purposefully designed to be Exhibit #1 in a legal challenge against the constitutionality of current IP laws.
Then again maybe that's the acid talking.

He has been studying at FOX University and knows no better.

If they're wrong, then a precedent is set and the complicated system of checks and balances has once again protected liberty.
Those checks and balances have been proving themselves up to the job since 2000 haven't they?
hopefully the Democrats will grow some you-know-whats

I heard Hillary has the biggest ones in Washington
