The biggest problem in the school systems regarding Teachers is not what they know, it's how they teach. There are at least two Teachers in my HS District that would rather plow through the curriculum and berate students trying to understand than take the time to enlighten them. It's a shame...

The commercials always hype any new movie. I did happen to see Wolverine. I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
I may go see Star Trek this coming weekend but from what I've read even non Trekkies thought it was great.

Don't worry this is a fast track to melting the ice caps, so I'm buying beach front property in the Sahara, Death Valley, and Gobi deserts. =) I'm thinking perhaps they watched too many reruns of Total Recall.

I am assuming this is a battle to the death. If so, then either outcome is benefitial.
Wait, is this battle taking place "pre-traveller"?
Don't forget, Wesley does get some type of powers. Not that the sissy deserved them.
This fight is good only for the comical value, which is why I voted for it.
Jar-Jar slaps Wesley; Ow! That hurt!
Wesley slaps Jar-Jar; Youse'em hits like a girl!
Jar-Jar slaps Wesley; I am a girl! You brute!

Spelunkers Explore Crystalline Cave In New Mexico 99
onehitwonder writes "New Mexico cavers have set foot — for the first time ever — on a 'river' of tiny, white calcite crystals covering a four-mile stretch of the floor of the Fort Stanton Cave in New Mexico. The privileged few spelunkers who have explored the 'Snowy River' formation say they've seen nothing like it. Not only is Snowy River exquisite, it is also home to some three dozen species of microbes previously unknown to man."
Debian Maintainer Hints At September Release for Lenny 117
nerdyH writes "The Debian project's maintainer, Luke Claes, announced in an email Saturday that he will freeze the 'testing' or 'Lenny' tree, in preparation for a new stable release of Debian Linux in ... September! The freeze means that open source software developers have only a couple more days to package any applications that they want to be included in the next release of Debian — and by extension, in the inner sanctum source lists of distributions such as Ubuntu that are based on it. After the freeze starts next week, Debian maintainers will turn their attention to 364 release-critical bugs, and half-a-dozen high-priority goals. Given the work to be done, is September really feasible? Lenny always was a little slow getting back to his right place ..."
How To Deal With Internet Bullies? 724
creyes123 writes "I run a free website with an online model airplane design calculator. The number of registered users has quickly climbed and I've gotten many compliments. Out of nowhere, a fellow shows up and proceeds to bad mouth the calculator in a posting in one of my forums. After I politely point out that he's mistaken and should have looked at the documentation before posting, he changes the subject and bad mouths a different 'flaw.' The cycle repeats a few more times, with no apparent end in sight. I want to encourage folks to share their opinions, but constructive criticism was clearly not his goal. I feel that the whole episode was just a massive time waster for me. What did I do to deserve this? Could I have handled this better?"
Robocars As the Best Way Geeks Can Save the Planet 394
Brad Templeton writes "I (whom you may know as EFF Chairman, founder of early
dot-com Clari.Net and rec.humor.funny)
have just released a new series of futurist
essays on the amazing future
of robot cars, coming to us thanks to the DARPA Grand Challenges.
The computer driver is just the beginning — the
essays detail how robocars can
enable the cheap electric car, save millions of lives and trillions
of dollars, and are the most compelling thing
computer geeks can work on to save the planet. Because robocars can refuel, park
and deliver themselves, and not simply be chauffeurs, they end up changing
not just cars but cities, industries, energy, and — by removing
dependence on foreign oil — even wars. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords."
