That's a new one. /sarcasm

Speak for yourself. If you'd actually had a girlfriend instead of hooker you'd know be more interested in her opinions than her pussy. If you don't think alike, and you don't like anything but her pussy, don't fuck her.

I can tell you this, no one who jacks off Palin is getting anywhere near my pussy.

National secrets are being typed on PS/2 keyboards though, so the last thing could be used. Granted, it's a stretch, and not something I support.

There are plenty of key logger applications which can legally be used on a computer one owns and allows others to use. This is different, this is used to intercept data a person enters on their own computer, not on your computer, and there aren't legal uses for that, expect finding ways to prevent it.

No one said "sneak stuff in where it's business critical", in fact I've read the opposite many places here. The recommendation is that s/he use OSS where it's not business critical, where failure isn't the end of the world, to get people used to the idea that OSS works.

The rule might be stupid, but I'm not arguing over the rule here. Only the enforcement methods. I carried the same thing in school, and some.

The teachers need to think about the consequences of their actions. No one is asking them to allow it, just not to treat a child in an undignified way because she was accused of violating the rule.

If a teacher found the bottle, that's another story (you're right, confiscate it and punish her), but no reasonable person can claim strip searching her is justified. The school should put her safety first, the risk to her of being strip searched is higher than the risk of her carrying the medication.

You must work at some kind of IT company. Where I work users are completely clueless, and few have computers at home, they share computers in the work place.

Anybody who has total access can do anything, so if someone else gets access and you get it back, you should be able to undo what they've done, but not here.

I agree.

They're priced like servers, they have RAID support, ECC memory, server type processors. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

Mac makes you pay more for the server OS, but that's typical. Mac Pros are designed to be servers, not desktops. Mac doesn't sell a tower type desktop, if you want a tower they force you buy a server.

Compare that to the Thinkpad x200...
2.4Ghz Intel Core2 Duo processor
4GB 1067MHz RAM
200GB 7200rpm Hard Disk Drive (or a 128GB Solid State Drive, Serial ATA)
All for $1,479.00 or $1,799.00 with a solid state drive.

Try Fedora. It fixed some Ubuntu errors I'd been dealing with, and supports hardware better.

I avoid by writing. Writing on forums, writing fiction in notebooks... Tweaking my computer, installing Linux, doing other things more productive than video games. I find my random escape projects can turnout to be productive.

Since when is slashdot a productive use of time? At least slashdot is free and doesn't force use to use Windows.
