Another bill, signed on a busy day where Quinn dealt with dozens of bills, deals with child visitation rights. As of Jan. 1, the law will provide for visitation rights through electronic communication such as telephone, e-mail and instant messaging.

First Quinn doesn't let sex offenders use social networking. Next, he allows visitation rights via phone, email, and IM. What's next, marriage or divorce via facebook, email, or IM?

But seriously, visitation rights via telephone, email, and IM (and I'm guessing social networking sites too)? How does that actually constitute as one visiting another being, without physical presence. I'm all for visitation rights via phone, email, IM, etc, as long as they aren't restricting the physical visitation rights.

I have recently put on a IEEE Teachers In Service Program (TISP), where engineering students, usually grad and undergrad, go to local elementary through high school class rooms to inform teachers about lesson plans, such as ones you are asking for.

The best news for you is that it is almost fully subsidized!

Here are the some of the lesson plans. I would greatly recommend you look into the program, as I really enjoyed being able to bring teachers new material that got their classes excited about engineering and science.

We don't even use much salt, mainly just sand.

2-3" of packed snow is nothing coming from Pittsburgh, and hey, I liked being able to sled to work, though uphill sucks.

If life gives you lemons, take then to a syn lab and make limes, or gold, depending on how much energy you would like to spend. - Me

You can use the typoinsummary tag to alert the posters to fix the grammar issue.

You can use the tyopintag tag to be humorous.

It looks like slashdot was taken down by the self destruct too!

Unfortunately this new device lacks wireless capabilities

Does this mean it lacks wifi too?

At this price, $299 US, it will only be $60 less than the Kindle2, without wireless capabilities. That seems like a pretty bad deal in my opinion. Sorry, not a kindle killer in my opinion.

Hey, I didn't approve this story, why was it released?

Even a DeLorean could generate 1.21 GW.

Unfortunately, the DeLorean wins, as 1100MW is only 1.1 Gigawatts. They need a flux capacitor to help liven things up to surpass 1.21 GW. Speaking of which, a nuclear symbol almost looks like a flux capacitor. Coincidence?

Here are two sources, saying that there was a mistake in the system.

Isn't this the same as SMS text messages. I don't ask to receive them, especially from spammers, but I still get charged $0.15 per message.

How about putting that money into improving the deplorable roads of Seattle proper. Despite not using salt come snowy conditions, the roads and especially the highways are full of pot holes. No wonder why everyone actually drives speed limits here, if you go faster parts of your car will start falling off.

I would almost never buy an unpacked product because I would be afraid it would interfere with my warranty, and because otherwise there is literally no way to tell who fucked up a product; the manufacturer, or the unpacker.

The products come from the manufacturer in a less packed box--meaning less twistys, blister packing, plastic bags, etc. There is no unpacker involved anywhere in the scheme. The box is also optimized to be shipped individually more so than the standard box, and will actually provide better protection for the customer.

Please use proper grammar, you meant to say:

Oh and...
