They are always watching you. No matter what you type, text, or tweet, they can and will read it and you will never even know.

After facebook facial recognition technology comes to fruition, your behavior patterns will be analyzed and recorded, and you may be 're-programmed' to fit back in to society nicely. If you fail to comply with the surveillance overlords, you must be prepared for the inevitable consequences.
The 'land of the free and the home of the brave' thanks you in advance for your cooperation.
Have a nice day.

I remember being FORCED to buy a TI graphing calculator in order to pass a college mathematics course. I remember all we needed it for was to plot graphs, which could have been (and probably should have been) done on paper. I didn't really learn anything by using it, except how to use the calculator. I used it for a couple months and then promptly sold it when I was done with the course.
What a scam by my college and TI.

Just like any other one, you have to pay to truly 'belong' and you must never, ever take the Jobs name in vain.

"the researchers estimated that there are nearly two free-floaters for every star in our galaxy."

Someone really needs to tell these stars to remember to flush when they are done with their solar discharges.

Time to live for today. NOW is the time we must worry about, make the best of what you have now at the moment.

"...the publishers also want access to all computer systems on the campus network, to monitor compliance and copying."

Okay so the publishers are going to hire a small army of people to enforce this monitoring provision? Sounds like that cost will outweigh any losses incurred from anyone copying more than 10% of their material.
Sounds pretty stupid to me.

I heard on the radio the other day that hotel and city surveillance cameras were going to be the key to prove his innocence or guilt since they are virtually EVERYWHERE in New York City.
The other interesting tidbit of information is that DSK said that he would be set-up in some sort of entrapment sex scandal a few weeks before he arrived in the USA.
Makes you wonder...
