I'm going out on a limb here because I don't exactly what was posted, but I suspect that in context it was apparent that it was simple name-calling and not an accusation of a crime. If he would've called his teacher a goat fucker, would you really take it seriously? No. Kids at that age try to pick the most hateful thing to say to elicit a reaction. And you know what? Kids of this age already have coping mechanisms in place for when someone calls them a hurtful name.

To be honest, I think this is an overreaction by a vindictive teacher and a staff looking to make an example out of someone, and these kids will suffer a punishment that stretches far into their lifetime for a moment of expressing their frustration to their peers.

This is a rare case where I do think the parents should lawyer up. Don't fuck with a kid's life because you had your feelings hurt when you saw something you were never intended to see.

Uh, really? Cash?

I remember the feeling of paranoia wash over me when I first began receiving the penis enlargement emails.

The paranoia has returned, but mostly because of the herky-jerky ads showing pictures of my penis and the names of ex-girlfriends.

You guys getting those?

Playing devil's advocate here, but I'm gonna say they outed him to lend credibility to their story about how the phone was obtained. A lot of people, including myself, thought Apple was employing an all-too-common strategy of co-opting news sites as a means of marketing by "losing" a phone.

To be honest, I'm still not entirely convinced this is wrong.

Interesting, but there's something unsettling about all that plastic.

If you didn't know, US dollars are made from a cotton/linen blend. Much more durable than paper and easier on the environment than plastic.

I thought he was Italian, not Welsh.

So frog foam converts light and CO2 into sugar, and yeast converts sugar to alcohol and CO2, it stands to reason that light is alcohol. Now I understand why they call it Light Beer!

Or deliberately and needlessly introducing an overly-complicated and restrictive DRM, invoking the fury of angry nerds across the globe. Either one.

I think the word you're looking for is, "competence." But, you're right. Very rare to find in network admins.

I'll try a different tack. Your E-brake will not make your car go faster in the event that your normal brakes are unavailable to you.

Your brakes are hydraulic and your Emergency brake is cable-driven. If you crack a single brake line, your car will happily squirt all of the brake fluid onto the ground and quickly result in total brake failure (all of 'em).

Your Emergency brake is crude, but is there to save your ass if you ever experience a catastrophic failure in the hydraulic system.
