Paly High is a public school. To have girls-only classes like this is a horrible act of discrimination. The public school system should be ashamed of its bigotry.

Exactly. Not everything is free.

I hate pirates. Everyone who works for a living should now celebrate the end of a sleezy website that stole from the working man and woman. Hip hhip hooray!

Sorry dood. You're the one with no moral ground. If you don't like a product, don't consume it. If you like it, decide whether you want to pay for it. If it's too expensive, move on. That's how life works. It's disgusting to watch thieves like you rationalize robbing artists.

How do you think you're going to save for old age? You're going to buy shares in some venture and seek rent. Rent seeking is a fundamental part of savings and society can't plan for the future without it. Or maybe you just had the old, the infirm and the ones who want to save to start a business, send their kid to college or go on a nice vacation. They're all rent seekers, each and every one.

Yes you are. You're putting the weight of development on the shoulders of the suckers who pay. You're stealing from them. You're denying them the chance to pay their fair share of the development costs.

Nah. I say "lock him up." He's scum. He's destroying the web. Because of jerks like him, the movie makers are demanding all kinds of spying privileges. If you can't be honest and respect other humans, to jail I say.

Sure. And that mugger who never pulls the trigger? He's not a danger. Leave him out. Or the bankster who defrauds people? He's just greedy, not dangerous. Let him free too. What a fool.

Sorry. I thought it was genius.

I hate to say that I agree. I'm reminded of one trip to the Smithsonian Museum of American History. There was a team of about seven curators there to put three items in a display case. They all seemed to be attentive but it was work that could be done by one person. I think there's a ton of featherbedding around the place. I bet they could have just put the suit in a dry box and that would have been enough. I doubt there's anything they can do to keep the rubber soft enough. But they've figured out how to tug at our heart strings.

But hey, look at the bright side. Maybe the low-income girls will accept a low enough pay that they'll be able to undercut the H1Bs brought in by Silicon Valley. Go America!

Okay, the kids won't be killed, but only those that jump through the hoops of the all powerful Google will be given the prizes. I thought the miracle of the Internet that everyone could enjoy the fun. But somehow GOOG is turning it into a brutal, knock-down, no-holds-barred competition.
