Strip Searching A Thirteen Year Old
Why? It is her body - not the school's. Using that same idea, am I allowed to bring what ever I chose to school? Am I above the rules? The law? the difference between having ibuprofen and a gun is that you arent posing a threat to anyone with pills; detaining the girl to prevent her distributing drugs is fine but everything the school did was over the top and not thought out. The media is the last source we should be using for this kind of situation. I disagree about pills being not threatening; they can do a lot of damage in a matter of hours with no inkling as to their destructive results.

Router Caught Fire - Looking to Buy Another
Yeah, my Linksys router actually caught fire, I think. I knew it had heat issues before, so I rested it on three objects that allowed air to flow underneath the unit. Now there's a small bit of burned-looking material on the bottom of the router. I was looking to buy a new dual-band router, but man. Does anyone have any have any suggestions for dual-band routers? Are there any other routers with USB ports for printing and HDD access? I was looking at Apple's Airport Extreme, but $165 including military discount it a bit much. My current, or old router is/was a WRT310N. And note that the router does still work but I am fearful of leaving it on without a fan blowing on it now, which probably would cost me more in electricity than $165.

Can you tell me what doesn't have a potential for misuse? Even video games can be considered "dangerous" because there are so many cases where kids throw their lives away just to play a game. I figured that argument would be brought up. It's a drug. It has no use in a school environment except for the nurse's office. Should she feel the need to take a few every four hours, it should be administered in a controlled environment. That depends on your stance regarding the media, I would assume. In this case, no probably not. But should this come up again based on the same situation with something such as marijuana instead of an OTC drug the courts would argue the same thing. That's no in favor of a learning environment.

It doesn't matter what her rationalization is, it has an increased potential for misuse. All medicine is poison, it just depends on what you kill first; don't say it's "just" ibuprofen. The normal rationalization is that the school could have or should have done something to prevent it. However wrong that may seem in this scenario it proves to be fruitful in others.

Who is to blame in this scenario? I can say with utmost certainty that the parents would blame the school. This was necessary, regardless of whatever drug she was found to have. Schools are responsible for educating children and teenagers. They don't have to mother them.. they have mothers for that stuff. They could of course send her home if she was high off the drug, since they could argue she couldn't concentrate in class. The school could be held liable for the death of the girl. They could also be held liable for the various other assortment of uses she could find with them. Ibuprofen lasts long enough to make it through school hours. Should the metabolism rate be too high for her, she can always go to the nurse. There is no excuse for having it on her person.

Where the hell did that "changed story" come from? Are you implying that having ibuprofen with her in school meant she was going to overdose on it? [or that if she was planning to overdose on it, strip searching her for it in school would stop her from doing so?] I created it and yes, she very well could have. But it doesn't matter what she was doing with it, someone that young, and bringing it to school, obviously has no idea that power of drugs.

procrastinatiooooooooooooon
Eh, never really experienced procrastination, as I am more inveterate. Though, that comes at a cost as well.

Let's change the story a bit. Who is to blame in this scenario? I can say with utmost certainty that the parents would blame the school. This was necessary, regardless of whatever drug she was found to have.

How do I protect my computer better?
I never understood how you could possibly have all of those eat up resources on your computer. Even when I was using Windows, I only had Avira. Which the only thing it ever noticed were cookies.

Statistically, it's improbable to say that the smartest person has shown their presence before.

Time Travel, Possible or Not?
What like a never ending loop - like a mobius strip ? I guess that would make sense, however I believe that to time travel "on this strip" you would have to travel by the 2nd dimension on the strip for it (time travel ) to be possible. ie on the small edge. How does that equate back into the real world ? Anyone mentioned the grandfather paradox, in the last 5 pages ? y/n ? Y

Alright, thanks for clarifying.

windows 7 beta question
Yes, you can. I've found expanding/restoring to be a little more cumbersome than shrinking, but yes. I believe, though don't quote me, that there's an option in BIOS to remove the OS selection screen.

Transferring music from my iPhone to iTunes
iTunes won't allow you to transfer songs that aren't bought from the Store. Pod to PC is one I've heard about. When I transfered computers, I just put all of my music onto an external disk, imported it into iTunes, and then synced my iPhone.

McAfee?
It'll do what you want it to do. Ineffective meaning that it used a lot of memory and doesn't have a good of a return as something like Avira Free. Avira Free is just that, free. It also uses far less resources and has a greater detection rate versus McAfee.

He never further explained the word "with;" it's not twisting anything.

Mother gives birth to a baby with Anencephaly.
It's stupid. Yes. Let us start and end with you. Oh, you're so bloody witty, aren't you? Why on earth should we bother keeping them alive? What do they contribute? What do you contribute? Edit: I rushed into it. I read the above post to see that I was beat to the punch. :wall: Isn't it also nice that jeans hide my prosthetic limb? Isn't it nice how a shirt covers the scar I got when one of my lungs was taken out? I suppose I contribute nothing as well. The child contributes plenty, if only to the mother.

Different.
You're looking at it too literally. Hold on, I'll draw a picture. You could interpret his wording as "I attempt to make a triangle using two obtuse angles." The sum of the degrees adds up to be 180 and we used two obtuse angles. I don't think that's what he's implying but.. Think different.
