How could you possibly think that the grades a teacher assigns are more based on the students than the teacher?

The teacher designs the class, or at least the exams, and teaches the students the material.

Sure a particular student may be more or less prepared to learn the material, may even have different aptitudes for the type of material. But overall the grades in the class are due to how well the teacher teaches and how well s/he judges their students.

Just FIRE him, stop making EXCUSES and hurting your kids.

Heh, the same goes for that "other" Neilsen, but nobody cares.

It's a lucky sperm club thing.

As for why you have to wait to post, it's so that you will think a little bit before you go and say something like, oh, say, "the lucky sperm club runs the world" and get yourself in trouble. (*fortunately I'm already in trouble)

The fundamental user model of a web page only provides reliable caching. Other than that, it's worse than worthless in that it inhibits the kind of things you can do with your internets.

Server side includes? Wow dude, just throw my security and privacy out the window along with all reason and common sense why don't you. Server side includes? You're using some microsoft bs then...

and MVC? No wonder. Next you'll be using a web 2.0 toolkit that lets you make websites in visual basic. Get a clue!

The unintended and undesireable behavior:

My security is compromised.

Admittedly with facebook et all they probably aren't stealing my passwords or form values.

But another side effect is that framing becomes "ok" for even less-well-known and less-accountable sites, even though it's clearly a very serious security issue.

"At this point perhaps the A's can breed fine with As, they might have some difficulty with Bs, and can't breed successfully with B's."

That's where you're wrong. Or if you're right, give one actual example. The two "species" can still breed just fine, unless the mutation was to their genitals, in which case they probably can't breed with themselves either. It's not really "survival of the fittest" so much as "worthless mutants die."

Point in case: even a horse and a fckin donkey can breed - albeit rather fruitlessly.

Not to get into specific details, but evolution -is- just a theory, and science does require faith. We do NOT really know, and that's why we can still change our minds. Being able to change our minds is central to scientific advancement, so don't get all stubborn and fixed in your decisionmaking.

Remember, there's no need to be insecure. People's opinions don't really matter. What matters is how we treat each other - which should be with open minds and hearts.

Thank you...

The funniest thing is, DRM was the lame publicity stunt. Lame because everyone hated the idea that their rights needed to be managed. Steam is just not naming this one the same thing: that's good marketting practice, not really a lame publicity stunt. Of course it's still digital rights management, they just didn't add the "lame publicity": capital letters and an acronym.
