well from the comments your CURRENT userbase has the following feelings

What do We want??
"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some redesigns come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this.
[WAVES]
Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Soulskill? "

what this site will look like in 3 years is a 404 (userbase not found).

Why not update things to have proper Unicode support?? (maybe whitelist known sections??)
Allow the turning OFF of the pics??
Have a setting to SHOW ALL COMMENTS??
Have at most 4 levels of indent (and indent only like a half tab)??

What do We Want?? We want to live just long enough to see them cut the head off the person responsible for the beta and stick his head on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations of MBAs that some redesigns come with too high of a price

Can you do that Mr Dice??

or Horses, pants ,Whores, teapots, rifles, food stuffs, money transmission services ect

Do you have any idea what THERMITE is?? once it is in runaway you would have to somehow freeze it to arrest the reaction and i think you would have to use Liquid Helium to get cold enough.

Now if you wanna talk Military grade stuff good luck putting that out. ( i will be watching you from a couple nethops away)

the point of working it as "bands" is to give time to work around issues where a given kid is a lot better at some subjects than others (s|he can help with the slower kids in the good subjects and be helped as a slower kid in the not so good subjects).

as far as the The Holy 200 Point Checklist goes that does not matter (unless you are part of the school board/ Government Official Board writing said checklist).

the point of the bands is to give a teacher 3 years to get a kid up to snuff.

the fix for this is if a Corporation gets its charter revoked then ALL assets of the company get sold to the highest bidder then

1 the funds are to be used to provide income to any employees that lost jobs until they have been reemployed
2 the state keeps the balance
3 the CxOs are barred from employment in that field or any similar field for the next 7 years.

the funny bit is some folks will have "recorded" the live broadcast so if they butcher what is on the DVD then all of y'all get to have a good Olde Fashioned Crucifixion over the bits that got left out.

Of course we get to do an Olde Fashioned Stoning if y'all try that trick.

The biggest problem with the Public Education system is

IT IS DOING EVERYTHING WRONG!!

Start with having Standard Reference E-Books on Everything on a EduCORE server network. When a kid starts school issue the kid an EduSlate (something good enough to work but cheap enough to not be a target for theft). As the kid grows up unlock more and more info (redact less and less). For the things where there are recognized Alternate ViewPoints have the Alternate availible if asked for.

as far as how the teaching should go

1 In preschool teach exactly 3 things 1 YOU CAN LEARN 2 HOW TO LEARN 3 The rock basics of learning (numbers letters colors ect)

2 when they hit K5 1 separate the boys from the girls (outside of Dance Class and Recess) 2 teach every kid physically able to how to dance (ballet/gymnastics type)

3 group things into K5-3 4-6 7-9 and 10-12 worry about graduating a kid when s|he can jump bands (btw put the Ladies and Gentlemen together in class during the upper 2 bands)

4 use the older/smarter kids in each band to help the other kids

5 end of the second band and during the third band start sorting kids for where they will be going after graduation (use a "Nut Filter" also)

6 create Sanctuaries for kids to go when they can handle "home life"

In Short STOP KILLING OUR CHILDRENS MINDS.

and any defense lawyer worth their suit should be able to ring "Objection Hearsay/ Assumes Facts not in Evidence "

if the DashCam was out of order 1 why was that rig certified for use?? 2 where is the repair record (with techs sig)

(and why is it always stated as Dash CAM and not Dash CAMS heck there should be a LEO version of GoogleGlass with red and blue blinky lights and the video dumped to a Google DotGov server farm)

even better
Anybody on the State side should be found guilty of the crimes being charged if they can be found guilty of misconduct. Also the minimum sentence in this case should be not less that 75% of the MAXIMUM of the combined sentences.
this is a great idea for many reasons

1 Prosecutions would be careful of what they charge a suspect with (stops spaghetti charging)
2 it scales well
3 it keeps things inside The Blue Wall honest
4 This could result in some of the skankier folks having their CAREER END
5 Its an easy end to folks getting pulled for Driving While %Race%
6 it could open a gateway for Criminal Charges for some of the shadier types of misconduct
7 Defense lawyers would LOVE THIS

Personally i would like to see a misconduct case result in

1 The case dismissed due to "It is now Impossible to Properly Try this case due to the evidence being tainted"
2 The persons involved with the tainting be arrested and a Public Notice posted on same (Police Blotter anyone??)
3 a Notice that the person was cleared of the charges posted in the same place any arrest posting was.

Do you think that there would NOT be able 200 different torrents of the study within hours??

The Gideons would like to speak to you on this subject.

In fact they would love to hit you over the head with entire CASES of NTs for suggesting something this stupid.

but anyway the Crosswire/Xiphos projects are standing by for your bible needs

And thats why you need to Eat Mor Chikin!! (this comment brought to you by Chick-Fil-A who sells you a free faraday cage with every Chicken/Spicy Chicken sandwich)

If you can't get buy in from the right folks then make sure [Style= Bold Red Flashing]When[/Style] you fail you take out as many folks as you can.

This is your time to live by the Klingon saying TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE (or stall until it is)

Okay if you wanna pull that trick then Microsoft Office fails also the list (not exhaustive) of things that can futz with getting a MSO file to work correctly

1 Different Fonts on the system
2 any difference in the default(or current) printer
3 version patch level and hotfix presence for MSO
4 Language version of MSO
5 Phase of Moon at both sites
6 presence of any addons (includes version numbers)
7 Applied Hotfixes/ Updates to Windows

in fact some folks have found that opening some MSO files works better in OO or LO
