This discussion is so old. Everybody knows that class schedules begin too early for kids. It's the teachers that keep later schedules from happening because they want their free time afterwards.

I have seen somebody accessing a grading sheet from Stanford. The directory was indexed on shodan. I wonder what that was all about.

Bluetooth Headset:

PRO:

- no cable that annoys you

CON

- heavy, thus fall out your ear while running. - small battery (which evolves, but slowely) - more expensive - redundant audio processors - mostly low quality audio processors - bluetooth is unstable

Cable Headset

PRO

- good audio quality - low price (in comparison) - light, stays in your ear while jogging - usable on a range of devices - compact design - make use of a huge battery, namely the one in your phone

CON

- the cable breaks after some time - the cable restricts you

I don't see the why I would want to change my standard headphones for a technology that is bound to fail me over time, either by running out of juice or by a bluetooth hickup. I wouldn't buy a phone without a headphone jack. Period.

Also the dispute this generates! You wouldn't believe how many friendships are torn apart over the question of whether it is "die Nutella" oder "das Nutella". It is "die Nutella", just so we are clear!

The Beamer is a beauty! Totally overloaded with batteries and breaking down before emptying out.

I'd drive it.

I recall getting a letter from megaupload a couple of years ago after I downloaded Firefox through their services "for free", asking me to pay some bullshit amount of money. Somehow they got their download link on top of all the others in Google. Did not pay because it was clearly a fraud. Many paid though. Later they busted the operation. In Germany that was. That's my share on Kim Dotcom. Filesharing is fine but the dude is a criminal trying to rationalize his deeds to evade punishment.
