Bill to ban student-teacher romance

Another stupid bill from a california republican no less. thought those guys were opposed to big government. this one will make it a felony for a teacher to get romantic with a student even if she is 18 or over.

but this begs the following questions:

what if the student is 40 and teacher is 20?

what if someone only teaches a person how to make a knot?

how long after the end of teaching must people wait before they can get together? 1 second? 1 day? 1 month? 40 years?

can a husband teach something to his wife?

so guess if the bill becomes law, any sexual action can be considered a felony since people always learn something from each other, making one a teacher and the other a student. so ass/2.

U.S. News - California bill would punish student-teacher romances.

Santorum to enforce US obscenity laws

The candidate best known for espousing family values argues on his website that pornography causes changes in the brain to both children and adults, and contributes to violence against women, prostitution and sex trafficking.

This is precisely what the Taliban and the Wahabis use as an excuse to force women to cover up. We'd better be prepared to attend church by coercion and we know what happens when you kneel in front of certain priests.

via First Read - Santorum says he would enforce US obscenity laws that Obama ignores.

Email scheduler, PDF export in Google Analytics

it's been nearly 5 months since the new google analytics had promised the email report scheduler "in the coming weeks". granting the fact that "coming weeks" covers everything between now and eternity, i'd say that promise was a stretch.

perhaps "coming decades" or "coming centuries" would have been more appropriate :)

Google Buzz Cut

 

just as people start to deploy buzz buttons on their web sites, google terminates buzz. who's to say they won't do the same with the +1 button? this is just too unpredictable and unsteady. Official Google Blog: A fall sweep

Hotmail Update

Hotmail declares war on graymail. whatever, microsoft.

never mind the fancy features, hotmail still doesn't give the option to go back to the inbox after reading and deleting a message. instead the next message is foisted on the user, whether he likes it or not.

such a basic option offered by all other providers, yet homail is unable or unwilling to provide this simple feature.

Yahoo Fires CEO, Bartz

when she took over the helm at yahoo a couple of years ago, the stock jumped in after-hours. now the shares are jumping again in after-hours following her ouster.

hire and fire her a few times in a row and that should deliver the long-suffering yahoo shareholders some decent returns :)

Cheney's Personality Switch

for years i held the belief that dick cheney was a decent defense secretary but then went psycho when picked by bush to be his vp.

maybe he was seduced by power, or his halliburton holdings, or just got demented by his heart condition and aging.

interesting to read that an inside guy actually validates my belief.

"Something happened to Dick Cheney and it wasnt just 9/11," Wilkerson told the station.
