where an off topic flame war about America's school system, started over a post, from a submission, about a post, on an unamed forum, from an unnamed person, about an unnamed teacher, at an unnamed school, in an unnamed country, which may or may not be the USA, is considered "news".

When I was in Germany I saw a magazines (Bravo?) equivalent to something like Teen People in the US that had nude teenagers with stats like age/height/etc with one male and one female per issue in with information on Fools Garden or whatever other German pop was popular at the time. I think the intent was to provide a basis for comparison for the body changes teens go through. In the US this would likely be considered child pornography and land you in jail.

The most reliable drive I had was a Quantum Bigfoot. One of those monster 5.25 HDDs made in the early 90s. The reliability may have been because of the slow speed. It came out of a Compaq returned to an Office Max and sat on a shelf for months. When I started work there they said I could have it. I wanted the magnets out of it. It bounced around in a backpack and was hauled from class to class for several months. A group of friends and I put together a Linux server on the cheap and I offered it up if there was any possibility it was still working. That drive powered our server for 4 years before being replaced with a new drive and used as a secondary drive. The primary drive failed 2 years later and the entire server was scrapped. I'm going to have to see if that Bigfoot is still around somewhere and see if it still runs.

Second study finds that after two cups of coffee you may mistake your first cup of shroom tea for your third of coffee.

I've hear they make you wear white long underwear with a big red G on the chest to work in their facilities! Their facility in The Dalles out here in Oregon has security like a Vegas casino. I always found it odd their job listings required forfeiting your soul for a job turning a light switch on and off in their facility.

The little boat flipped over. A virus in the Gibson computer system claimed responsibility.
