I mean Pirate Bay got shut down because the US pressured the crap out of Sweden to do it, but I am sure there are plenty of places that could care less.
The Pirate Bay is shut down? Really? If so there's another very similar looking site using the same URL! It even helped me download some files just last night!
Uhhh, no they're not! (Cannot find a link to disprove this, it's hard to prove a negative: please provide me with one that says otherwise)
In fact, we're only now just getting our first carrier (Wind Mobile) that runs on the same GSM 3G frequencies as T-Mobile, and Wind is only in a few centres (they only launched a few months ago). Rogers & Fido (the main GSM carriers) and now Bell and Telus with their new network run on the same frequencies as AT&T. So if you brought a T-Mobile smartphone up to Nova Scotia, you would have no 3G coverage at all, and massive roaming charges to boot.

The paragraph I quote is not the truth, it's wishing for the impossible. I wish I had a math teacher like this all my life but come on. The public school system is more worried about getting someone that actualy cares about the students at all. They can't even find those people let alone people who care about the students and live/eat/sleep/bleed math.
As someone who went through teacher's college but realized that I was not capable of surviving the stresses of teaching in the public schools, I agree with this wholeheartedly. After my experience in school and in practicum classrooms, I feel that there are two kinds of teachers that can survive the system:
Unfortunately for my potential career, I fell into the third category: the imperfect teacher who cared too much to be able to just forge ahead regardless of the failure to reach and inspire some students. I found the stress of lesson planning and instruction overwhelming, because I was hung up on trying to accommodate the students who had different needs and learning styles, as well as the different levels of ability. I believe that I was a fairly good teacher overall (and yes, I do love mathematics), but caring about the students really weighs heavily on you when you know you're not able to teach to everyone well.
In fact, I still support an old NT 4 server that predates the release of Windows 95.
Sorry, but NT 4 was released *after* Windows 95. NT 4 took the NT operating system and attached Windows 95's GUI to it. Prior to NT 4's release (summer of 96, IIRC), NT 3.5 had the "3.1" look.
So, if the old server you support has a "Start" button, it does *not* predate the release of Windows 95.
