deseretnews.com | Computer users at Y. spied on
Thats why you don’t use public computers when viewing private information.
One of my classes I have at a local Technology college instead of the highschool. At this college, the BIOS isn’t password protected and the user account that the teacher setup for me to use on the computer has administrative rights. I get the feeling these guys don’t know how to create a secure system. I could really cause a lot of damage or anyone else could.

StandardNET | Bikes vs. Boards
I think this is stupid. If anyone, skater or BMX rider, gets in the way, someone is going to be angry. It doesn’t matter. Bikes are bigger but only one person can use the different rails and ramps at the park at a time.
I use to be a BMX rider. My bike got stolen over a year ago and haven’t gotten a new one. Bikes are expensive! I also use to skate and I prefer BMX over skating. BMXing is harder and I like a challenge.

StandardNET | Michael Schiavo’s actions were selfish
I have tried to avoid making any comments on Schiavo but this just makes me angry.
In that letter, the writer compares Michael Schiavo to her mother who stood by her father for 15 years who had cancer. This isn’t comparing the same thing. I’d guess that the father of the writer for most of the 15 years could think for himself and not need a feeding tube. Not until the near the end of those 15 years would he need as much attention as Terry Schiavo needed for all of the 15 years she was kept alive.
The writer of the letter also states that there is a gray area between the definition of being alive and dead that needs defining. We can’t define that gray area though because each case is different. Not one is exactly the same as another.
Another thing the writer says is that Michael “portrayed Terri’s condition as comatose or vegetative to cover his weak lifestyle.” Writer, you are an idiot. You can’t fake a vegetative state unless the person who is suppose to be vegetative plays along. Unless Terry was wanting to commit suicide I doubt she was playing along. Also it is hard to fake catscans that show that most of your brain isn’t there.
The writer uses the ABCs of first aid in her letter as a way to tell if someone is alive. The ABCs of first aid is for first aid not to tell if someone is alive. Someone could still be alive and have his or her heart not beating. That is why you do CPR to keep them alive.

The teacher is gone again today and I still need to talk to here. Another wasted day …
deseretnews.com | New Ms. Wheelchair crowned after protests
How crippled do you have to be in order to be Ms. Wheelchair? This is just stupid. From what I have heard it sounds like she is in a wheel chair most of the time so taking her crown away because she stands every once in a while is crazy.

StandardNET | Principal’s strategy: Get focus off unsafe track
A while back a student for the Weber High school wrote a news article about the track and saying that it needed to be resurfaced because it was starting to be a safety risk for those using it. I guess it said something like it was resurfaced ten years ago. The principal didn’t like the article and said that the track was actually resurfaced 6 years ago. Now the principal has made it so that he has to approve every article before they are published.
So now the schools paper will report only what the principal will allow and not the truth. What a waste of paper.
