Every state has a required course in that state's history.

I actually did a variation on this years ago (1988 or so) in a company running Novell. One of the servers was also acting as a router (it had two network cards and connected two 10base-2 segments). Every time someone did a database update, I got kicked off the network for an hour.

No one listened to me that this was a problem, so I just brought a book to the office, and when this happened, put my feet up on the desk and read.

It was only a few days of this before the owner of the company 'caught' me and goes nuts. I explained calmly the situation, that I couldn't work when an update was going on, and had been told there was no money to upgrade the server.

A new server was ordered that afternoon.

I am wondering what exactly they are calling cheating here, since the code says they "will not plagiarize, copy work or get outside help."

Plagiarize and copy are obvious, but I never heard of asking for help on homework being cheating. How else does one learn ?
If you didn't get the concept in class, you are out of luck, that's it ?

I was in an Engineering program (Stevens Institute in Hoboken), and I would venture that at least half of homework was done in study groups, sometimes just to bounce idea off each other, sometimes as a collaborative group effort. This was part of the learning process.

Looks like Digitizor already melted.

I've used Swish in it's variants since it was an alternative to WAIS.

The other side of this are the people who have lost hearing because of an ear infection.

I have two family members who lost all hearing in one ear due to ear infections. Both are older and had this happen in childhood -- BEFORE antibiotics were commonly proscribed for them.

So, my own kids have been given antibiotics for theirs. One doc in the group told us to wait for one of her infections. By the next day, puss was oozing out of my daughter's tear ducts. Needless to say, we started her on antibiotics.

On the Norway studies: I would be interested to see some numbers on their deafness rate.

Yes.

Probably because it was being used to mean kidnapped or killed.

Depends what you mean by "good games".

My son and I played Mario Super Sluggers all last winter. For the last 3 months or so we have at least an hour every night of the whole family playing Mario Kart Wii.

My 6 year old daughter loves Disney Enchanted Princesses, and both kids are enjoying Disney Think Fast.

So I would say yes.

Sorry, any 7 year old Catholic knows that is not true.

The Rite of Penance ends with "Go, and sin no more."

Sins are only forgiven if you are truly sorry, and intend not to sin again. You can not sin with impunity just by asking for forgiveness.

All I could think of watching this trailer was that it looked like a rip-off of Thundercats.

It does, if I am expect to pay for it.

Freedom means you do what you want. it doesn't mean you do what you want and I pay for it.
