Europeans have lots of pictures of dragons, we won't believe them til we find bones.

As a upcoming freshmen let me make a few points.

3. The Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables.

Shrek came out in 2001. I remember part of the first 11 years of my life. Including the Jolly Green Giant (not much but enough to never call Shrek the green giant).

4. They have never used a card catalog to find a book.

My first Elementary School had one, so did the public library back then.

8. Tattoos have always been very chic and highly visible.

That's pretty regional, it is only in the last few years they have caught on where I live

19. They have never understood the meaning of R.S.V.P.

Send a Reply/Confirmation?

21. Except for the present incumbent, the President has never inhaled.

???

27. Christopher Columbus has always been getting a bad rap.

Not in my school(s).

44. There have always been flat screen televisions.

Maybe, but how many people had them earlier in the 90's (my childhood).

51. Britney Spears has always been heard on classic rock stations.

She didn't really become popular till the late 90s. How'd she get on classics for my entire life when she didn't start until halfway through it?

53. Someone has always been asking: "Was Iraq worth a war?"

They're gonna be asking that a long time.

54. Most communities have always had a mega-church.

I let this slide because they used "most".

And then they get a real sample of your DNA and the machine changes it so it matches the crime scene sample.

I've always wondered what if you answer no you don't understand? Do they have to keep trying to explain them?

Use the platter as source metal when electroplating something else?

It is different now. I just enrolled in RPI and have received a Rensselaer Identification Number (RIN) which is a 9 digit number starting with 660.

I was actually proposing rigid guides as to what each term means, because right now a netbook is whatever marketing says it is. Orange Crush's boundries seem to be better than mine.

I think we need clearly defined sizes for terms or else we'll end up with 15 inch netbooks by the end of next year.

I propose:

• Portable: over 19.5in
• Notebook: 16.1in-19.5in
• Laptop: 11.1in-16.0in
• Netbook: 8.0in-11.0in
• Ultraportable: under 8.0in

Legally you'd still have to buy windows to run it in a VM, a professor/teacher can't advocate piracy (well they could but the carious higher ups probably won't like it).

I was 18 when I had to get permission (I was signing college forms by myself), the school administrators wouldn't accept my signature (I tried).

Bible-Belter here. 1984 was a required book in AP Lit.

Of course a parent did get mad when a lower grade (10th) read Dante's Inferno (near the end of the year). Then my teacher had to get permission for The Things They Carried---strangely being over 18 didn't mean you didn't have to get permission. Which then pissed off my parents and the parents of everyone else.

In my AP literature class the teacher picked 5 books to read (her theory was read a few good complex books and study them deeply, as appose to barely covering a bunch). She rotated most every year, the only constants were 1984 and King Lear.

Only English class I felt like I learned anything, which is slightly depressing.

Yes

Blind people always have the right of way ...

Ultimately the Government still ends up paying for the lawyers they need when they get sued (not the mention the judges and other court necessities).
