Agreed, the problem is that there is no guidance or leadership. It's most likely that a valuable leader would come from the 19%.
I went to occupy philly with hopes of something positive. When I got there, it was just a bunch of disgruntled hippies (and a socialist group too...WTF?).

If anything "the man" is encouraging these movements to dissuade real protests.
Sharpies on cardboard make you look homeless, and people will take you about as such.

email your congressional representatives. They spend big money on polls, so why would they ignore their email?

Guess what many jobs require? Attendance and proving

sounds like a boss to me.

It sounds like you got shafted. I know too many people who should have never graduated highschool.

Kids will find something, anything to embarrass and bully other kids for. I think it would be appropriate if people got made fun of for doing horribly, than for doing well.

The option of going to school is a right. When students make decisions that hinder other peoples education, they have chosen to give up their education. Why do we force them to stay in school? If the students don't care, the parents don't care, then why should the tax payers?

Grades should be publicly posted.

Each year after 5th grade the bottom 1% of the class is dropped.
Each year after 8th grade an additional bottom 2% is dropped.

This way, a 5th grade class with 100 students would graduate high-school with the top 85 students.

The bottom feeders would be given one chance to make it up every 3 years. Otherwise, you are out for good. So if you fail 5th grade, and fill out forms to re-enroll, you need to redo 5th grade and pass every year through 8th.

Another option would be to put a time limit on highschool. 5 Years.

Give some meaning to a high-school diploma. Many schools promote students out of the school, even students who don't meet minimum the attendance requirements.

1) The speed is capped after 5GB/month, so I don't need to worry about not having data access, or paying extra. 2) VM is $25.00 per month plus sales tax (7%). If I bothered to bring up an old verizon bill, any one of the many taxes exceeded $1.75. 3) VM currently has 2 reasonably priced android phones in their lineup.

Mod rahvin112 up insightful! I read about half the WoT books, and I couldn't agree more with every line of that comment.
Side-note: For those into fantasy- Terry Goodkind is a much better author than Robert Jordan, Tolkien, and whoever wrote harry potter. I won't even bother wiki-ing twilight to find out who the author of that abomination is, but at least it won't eat up as much time as WoT.

Where else do I get my robot sex fix?
37.com just doesn't cut it for bender vs fembots.
Kartoo.com no longer exists for action like RepliCarter scissors Terminatrix.

Remeber when Stargate used to be on showtime? ...And the nudity!

I watched SGU when they offered it streaming on scifi.com (Before or after the name change, I don't recall). I made it through the first 6 episodes or so, it seems like they went all drama while dropping the fictional science.

My girlfriend used to. -Shows how much they know about the advertising demographic.

Or maybe show that just ties up loose ends, and follows up with SG1s previous encounters. Call it Stargate SG-3. Just don't ask about what happened to SG-2, they got into a bit of a scuff with the Furlings...there was cheesecake and porkchops everywhere!

Pandemic 2 is an online game (google it) that allows you to create a virus (parasite, bacteria ect) to be as deadly as possible.

Not quite related, but this article made me think of it.

Just look at the genius that went into the USB 2.0.
Full-speed 12 Mbps
High-Speed 480 Mbps

Or parallel ports:
Compatibility Mode
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) 2MB/s
Extended Capability Port (ECP) 2.5MB/s

EPP/ECP Parallel ports are faster than full speed usb?

A 94-100
B 86-93
C 78-85
D 70-77
...Or for those over achievers, change the passing scale to steps of 5% from 80-100.

In looking for this form... an example from the armpit of the USA.

Following is a general list of claims which can be filed in Small Claims:
* Breach of a written or oral contract.
* Damage to or loss of property.
* Consumer complaints for defective merchandise or faulty workmanship.

Class action suits are so disappointing. The recent comcast case in point. I had to deal with comcast throttling for months, troubleshooting my connection, getting stonewalled by tech support. Its a slap in the face to be offered $16 for the months my service was limited.

Back on topic, if that happens the victims can get a few dollars per phone while the lawyers get millions. I'd be interested to know if the small claims court theory holds any water. (never BT or DT) It just seems like its too simple, and the legal system is anything but simple.

If its reversible with a JTAG, the phone will still get hacked, just more time and materials needed.
Solution:Patience - Don't buy it until someone else does all the hard work.
