Guess they were wrong on one point.

Yes. Months after it had gone on completely unchecked. And all of it was based around the victim's lawbreaking.

Any form of sanction that separates the students or gives some threat of consequence.

They had advantages when they were calibrated. But for operational speed, a UI that was designed for fat-fingering is probably the actual revolution rather than the screen itself. I guess pinch to zoom and one finger 2D scrolling is a part of that as well. So it's more a capacitive screen tied with all the UI tools to use it effectively. Have to hand it to Apple, they did it first.

I think the accuracy of capacitive is inherently better. Plus, since the screen isn't inset behind a bevel, it's much easier to get at the edges of the screen.

Sure it does. It's called bullying.

Their dressings are made by Newman's Own. Not bad stuff. Not particularly "real" but almost nobody's using anything but shelf-stable dressings. The primary ingredient on the list is water, so the dressing is somewhat thin.

I'd like to see that too. They just haven't come out with many that taste very good.

I go to McDonalds when I don't have time to prepare something and I don't want to spend too much on convenience. I often use that an excuse to eat bad food, but it's far from the only reason to go.

They're also really bad at marketing those options as flavorful foods. In researching my reply, I see that they have a pretty good looking southwest chicken salad. Probably lacking in heat, but that's only a minor complaint...

What's annoying is the perception that salad is the only kind of food that qualifies as healthy.

So you're not really looking for an end to anything. You actually want to perpetuate this...

To be honest, I think capacitive touch is what made tablets and smartphones take off. Nothing else had a bigger impact for me. I did use a PDA with a stylus for a couple years in college. It was just a toy. Just not good enough to be taken seriously.

You mean like dressing too sexily? You're a sick individual and you need mental help.

I don't know... Being complicit in the face of something like this and doing nothing about it - especially the teacher, should be considered accessory to assault. Maybe not legally, but logically.

In their opinion, it wasn't destruction of evidence - since it wasn't valid evidence (fruit of the poisoned tree). But they aren't judges, and they really can't make that call. Too bad the judges made the wrong call too - a recording at a public school is public, not private.

Motive to be corrupt, sure. But wiretapping laws aren't really antiquated, just shouldn't be applicable. The recording took place in a public school where there is no expectation of privacy. Even in a private run-in with police, they are public servants and working in their official capacity, and almost everything they do ends up in the public record. A recording of police at work should be no different.

That's exactly my point. Deciding to retaliate violently is your own choice and you can't blame the victim of that round of violence either. It doesn't matter if they "deserved it."
