Doing that is the equivelant of running from the thieves. Admittedly,
sometimes running is all you can do in real life, but when there are
other options it's a very poor one. The thief you run away from may
kill the little old lady next door tomorrow.
Stop the thieves in their tracks. Report them to their ISP, get their
accounts closed. Dialups, news, web hosting, you name it. Everything
they send you is a weapon to be used against them. Most ISPs
explicitly forbid spamming, the few that don't need to get cut off
from the rest of the internet ASAP.

I've been following your posts for a little while
Mr Devlin and must say this is quite a show of
compassion coming from someone who in the past
week has shown a desire to rape and kill other
people.
Do all rapists and killers such as yourself feel
such empathy for innocent death?

Well, your proposal certainly seems to be a retrograde step by your own logic
as it would widen the difference between the US education system and that of
those countries who have "superior" systems.
As I said, I believe the "failure" of the US system is overrated.

Are you arguing that they'd be substantially more litereate under another
system ?
You've repeatedly stated that you don't believe that incompetents have the
right to quality education, but now you cry crocodile tears and claim that
these incompetents you constantly deride are somehow "sold short" ? Or are
you trying to argue that these people are really budding rocket scientists
who have been cheated by "the system" ?

Again, are you really this dumb, or are you just being a stupid ass to

I disagree that they impose upper limits. BTW, I am 6 foot, and both

H&M don't agree with you here. They note that if these kids are adopted,
it has a positive impact on IQ. And they actually go on to advocate
adoption.

Your implicit assumption that you can't surpass your parents is downright

Good work nabbing "bill.gates.loves.me" and "whparker"!
Steve/Mike's latest tearful exit was just as phony as
his previous ones.
Perhaps in his role as comic-opera supervillain, he
does liven up the newsgroup. And he's pretty harmless;
these days, people could refute him in their sleep.
It's kind of interesting to see what story he'll come
up with next. ("I'm Pierre Le Prongue, IT manager of the
Concorde Aircraft Company. We switched our computers
to Linux a month ago, and you all saw what it did...")
However, I don't think "D. Spider" is Steve/Mike.
The style and content don't match. See for example
his recent critique of the MS-Windows GUI.
So by my reckoning, Steve/Mike has now used 40 fake names!

It demonstrates that flawed policies of social promotion exist, and
that graduates aren't held to strict academic standards.
I understand the problem here. But I don't believe it calls for sweeping
rightist reforms to the education system. The appropriate remedy that would
put an end to the situation would be an end to this so-called "social
promotion". This would have prevented the situation your anecdote discusses
from arising because the guy wouldn't have got his high school diploma.

And I believe this was a good move ( though I believe that the coaches
were furious about it ).
What I'd like to see though is a bill requiring that athletes be held to
the same academic standards for the purpose of *admissions* as other
students. ( In fact such a bill was drafted in Texas. That one's quite
a good story. I don't know if it passed. )

If you want to know what *my* proposal would be, it'd be to move towards
more leftist policies such as those practised in Australia.
BTW, other countries do not employ "social promotion" policies, there
are requirements for graduation. In Australia ( and England, I think ),
there are external exams that are *required* for graduation. The
Universities select students primarily on the basis of tertiary admissions
scores.
The first thing I'd want to see happen to the American system is a more
competitive admissions system ( and an end to the athletics scam. )
In conclusion, you are misrepresenting me when you claim I advocate the
status quo. But I believe that your arguments make a strong case for
competitive admissions ( *based on academic, not athletci merit* ), and
an end to social promotion. I do not believe that you've made a strong case
( or any kind of case ) for the massive privatisation you advocate.

One key to maximizing NT4's stability is to be careful with updates and
service packs. I push my NT4 machine hard, but have had no more than two or
three BSODs this year. Explorer crashes once a week or so, but for the most
part the machine is remarkably stable. The key is to avoid newer and less
stable versions of the critical system files:
1) Use Service Pack 3. SP4 introduced more bugs than the original NT4.0.
By SP6a, most of these are fixed but at the cost of compatibility with older
programs.
2) Do not go higher than IE4.0. If you want to use your machine as a
professional tool, don't install toys like IE5. The newer version may have
some advantages, but it messes up much of your system.
3) At all costs, avoid installing MS Office in any version. It makes too
many changes to your system, making things slower, unstable, and of course
it is full of security leaks.
One problem I have with my machine, however, is that all the icons are
trashed on startup (Netscape gets the icon from Acrobat reader, Outlook
Express gets Netscape's icon, "My computer" gets a combination of several
icons, and so on). TweakUI lets me rebuild the icon cache, which fixes the
problem until I next re-boot. Has anyone come across this problem and know
a quick fix?

The only so-called fact you have presented is your own anecdotal report on
you. That is hardly the common experience for millions of others. For you
judge everyone elses experience only in terms of you own point of view is a
bias. Its wonderful for you -- but its still biased and bullshit when applied
to everyone else.

I keep hearing this and I'm getting tired of it . I've never met such a kid
or adult (and I use to do the hiring), who actually went through school and
couldn't read a single sentence. Lets correctly define the problem and the
extent of it, before deciding its true.

Here's today's Tholen digest. Notice how he's ignored the evidence for the
fact that he likes to "hear" himself, and keeps talking about how I've
allegedly ignored his evidence, yet he hasn't presented any (indeed, he's so
intent on using "parrot" mode that he's made several
ridiculous claims). He's also ignored the evidence for his reading
comprehension problem (and uses "parrot" mode to talk about some
nonexistent evidence for my alleged reading comprehension problem). Nor did
he explain why he's adopted "Slava's" question; indeed, he
continues to assume my knowledge about a "Slava". Lastly, he clearly
doesn't understand the concept of a response to one of his digestifications,
posting many replies to various postings and thereby creating a "Tholen
digest", yet still thinks one such digest should cover them all. What a
dolt! To the digest improper!
[Nope, nothing new from Tholen after more than 8 years of semi-reading him!]
Thanks for reading.
