Person #1: Your IQ has nothing to do with how intelligent you are. Person #2: Yes it does. Person #1: No it doesn't - I have a low IQ and I'm very intelligent. Person #2: Well, my IQ is high and I'm very intelligent. Also, I don't think you ARE actually that intelligent. Person #1: But I have a college degree in business and I'm a supervisor at work. What makes you think I'm not very intelligent? Person #2: For starters, your shoes are on backwards.
*Person #1 looks down*
*Person #2 smiles and exits*
The problem isn't 35 year old men "hooking up" with 15 year olds, it's 35 year old men deceiving 15 year olds and tricking them into putting themselves into a position they don't want to be in.
Of course my comment was not to offend anyone thats just how the other members describe that player when they're not around;). Anywho, I remember the real WoW (Week of War) for X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, then that damn World of Warcraft stole it:(.
Yeah, so the future's trials don't look too different from today's but DNA is definitely more convincing to most people whether it really is reliable or not.
Haha, obviously you're joking but the truth is I have plenty of things that I want to "hide" or atleast keep from the prying eyes of the government (nothing a DNA test would bring up).
The government needs to take a few steps back in privacy and I think we all know that.
It isn't too far from the truth/future I'm sure. There will eventually be laws passed that will allow a huge database of DNA matched to records of people that both have and have not committed a crime, especially in the US if/when we're under Republican rule again. Once that law has gone into effect, newborns will probably be swabbed at birth and the rest of us will be swabbed the next time we register to vote.
Well, most teachers do grade essays that way and that is exactly how you write to get points, you just KNOW what they're looking for. Most essays I ever wrote weren't at all how I would have liked to write them.
I'll be honest, when I was in high school all I had to do was BS my way through every essay/paper and I got a good grade. Like it was said before, as long as you know the rubric you know what you need to write.
It's just like stopping at a red light in downtown Detroit or Chicago, getting your windshield cleaned by some bum and then him sticking his hand in your window asking for money when all he did was smudge your windshield without your permission.

Thank god they didn't remove that one.
How many times is this topic going to be discussed on /.?
Why do I suspect a Weird Al song coming?
Perhaps "The Sound of Cancer" instead of "The Sound of Silence".
I know what my next mod is going to be Jack Thompson: Episode I.
Synonymous to IE Sucks.
If you were to follow the link given in the article, you would see an even better video (more informative and clearer) and its the same guy.
Heh, looks like I just got 'em ;).
I can't even count to 100,000!

And then they turn into the kinda creepy 55 year old guy playing WoW ;).
Since when is looking to nature, looking to God?
Anyway, it sounds like this technology will soon be used by the Navy.

I wonder if they'd give me a wooden case if I redid their website =P.
Agreed, they could atleast use a cleanser or some kind instead of dirty gutter water, hehe.
From the looks of your sig, you may enjoy this mostly liberal site.

...Except in a larger, more complex way.
You can't honestly believe that politicians read /. can you? They're too stupid and plus, the internet is bad. Mmmmmkay?
Am I the only one who dresses up their box in sexy lingerie? O_o
Yeah... I thought about that right after I submitted.
Oh well, apparently I've been abusively overrated - I hope whoever meta-moderates this realizes that my post didn't deserve a -1.
