Cory Doctorow wrote an entertaining novel for this age group in which students were given ID cards like these after a terrorist attack. They found many interesting ways to mess with the system pretty quickly. The book is called Little Brother.
Please don't place such a condescending stereotype on conservatives. I believe myself to be quite conservative, but I've read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow (I will finish the rest as I have the opportunity). A colleague of mine at a small midwestern middle school assigned Ender's Game to his students and they read it together in class. He also taught Sunday School at a small conservative church. He received no backlash from parents.
And to say that conservative literature and ideas are embraced by those who are "less intelligent" is intolerant and hateful. (See what I did there? Those are "Liberal" attack words.)
Even though I am a conservative parent and teacher, I can't wait until my children and students are capable of thinking for themselves. As a teacher, I don't see success in test scores, I see it in students' abilities to synthesize information, to discern good information from crap, and to be able to reason through new and challenging situations on their own. But I do occasionally encounter parents who fear a child who can out-think them, or succeed where they failed. It is unfortunate, but it isn't restricted to conservatives. There are people with very liberal ideologies who fail to see the benefits of proper education.
Most of the doors to secure areas where I work have the same combination. Real secure! Every time I enter a door I think of that line. People wonder why I smile at work.
There's also the problem of ounces (weight) and ounces (volume) . That concept isn't reinforced in enough classrooms. Then you have to have dry measuring cups, liquid measuring cups, and spoons and it gets to be a confusing mess. My wife likes to use a scale, until I met her, I never knew anyone with a scale in the kitchen. Now I don't understand why it isn't more commonplace.
That would be the absolute coolest thing in the world. I've been a long time fan of the darksucker theory, to have an actual darksucker would be extremely fun. Lots of applications in a physics classroom.
Here. They can make paper out of kangaroo poo, just take it the next step. Take the initiative and your name can be here in an article on Slashdot as the inventor of poop based accelerometers.

This could have worked the other way. If she had been in a crowded bus when receiving the text, and ended up heading to an area that wasn't as crowded as she had hoped, it could have been the opposite, and no one would have been wiser. Random texts or half rings would irritate more than save lives. You can never be sure that the bomber isn't in a preschool dropping off her kids before going to blow up somewhere else.
As in multiple computers and other devices coming out recently, there is a separate display for typing, which is oriented similarly to a keyboard. And glass is harder than fingernail (Mohs hardness = glass is about 6-6.5, fingernail is 2-2.5 or so.) Fingernails won't damage glass, but silicates in grubby fingertips might.
Metroid Prime is great on the Wii. I was reluctant to get a FPS on a console for the reasons stated here. I love the kb mlook combo, but the Wii look and firing with the nunchuck make it almost comparable.
There was a spike in births shortly after this date. I'd say they might have to take a little more into consideration for their algorithm, or did the most boring day cause this spike in procreation?
Yes, because people with opinions always hate having opposing viewpoints. Opposing viewpoints are like any other kind of competition. Either it makes you produce a better product, or it makes you shut up and go home.
I listen to NPR nearly every day. I would have to agree that most of its reporting leans to the left. That is one of the reasons I listen to it, and at times, it is the reason I turn it off.
Part of Calvin and Hobbes' popularity should be contributed to the lack of copyright in the beginning. This certainly opened the characters up to blatant misuse on everything from bumper stickers to t-shirts and mugs. The misuse of the characters spread the interest and more people became aware of the strip and its hilarity.
this one:( any donations? This nerd is raising a family and going to school while only working 30 hours a week so he can take a pay cut to become a teacher.
Just yesterday, my sister-in-law ran into a low-hanging tree branch while sending a text message on her cell phone. She's in the military and is physically fit and usually mentally aware of her surroundings. Maybe cell phones will be one of the factors in the next evolution of the human species. Those who are able to multi-task without killing themselves may produce offspring with quicker, more observant brains.

I thought those were the REQUIREMENTS for a YouTube post! Is that what I've been doing wrong?

billions. 8.1 annually if I remember right

I keep refreshing, but there are no comments. How am I supposed to learn anything about this subject if there are not comments?

If she's pretty enough, there are plenty of guys here that will believe anything else she wants to tell us!

Or, just patch it through to an external loudspeaker...
Hey, my girlfriend once stopped over at one of our lan parties. She stayed a whole 3 minutes too! So there.
I just hope it doesn't taste like chicken. I'm imagining something along the line of moose, only older and freezer burnt.

You're right, I just pulled out one of his books and reread the section on licensing. It was copyrighted, he just hated to license the characters.

TracFone charges if the phone rings for more than thirty seconds, even if it isn't answered. Kinda lame, but still pretty cheap.

There are nice guys on here. I was thinking about his spelling mistakes, but you were thinking about his beneficial contribution to the group. Bravo.
