My phone has miraculously returned after being bricked and stuck in a reboot loop for a few hours. All is good in the world.

Man I told you about that jailbreaking. It an invitation to unreliability.
- JSLeFanu
So you're saying it had nothing to do with the jailbreak? Really?
- JSLeFanu
I never said that, I only said you can't be jumping to conclusions. You did that with the last and it was push related.

Ok so it's binary. Because it's push related it isn't jailbreak related.

Teacher cuts off girl's hair in school - http://shine.yahoo.com/event...

"When Lamya Cammon , a first-grader at Congress Elementary in Milwaukee, was caught playing with her hair, her teacher brought her to the front of the class, cut off one of her braids with a pair of classroom scissors, and threw it in the trash. "She told me to stop playing with it. Then cut it off and sent me back to my desk," Cammon said in an interview with Milwaukee's News 12."

When I was registering for class as a sophomore, the vice principal was walking the line with a pair of scissors, either offering to cut any guy's hair that was below the collar or sending them home. I told him he wasn't laying a hand on me so I left and registered later. Later that school year, after getting in trouble for some shenanigans in chemistry class, for a punishment he...

The American education system is doing a terrific job of preparing young Americans for the America in which they live, one where they have no personal freedoms or autonomy and no access to the right to express themselves or rights set out in the Constitution. In fact, in teaching students the Constitution the education system is perpetrating, imo, the biggest hypocrisy I've ever seen.
- Will Higgins™
Calm down, Will. Remember, hair grows back.
- Akiva Moskovitz
What if your boss told you you had to cut your hair or you'd get sacked? Kids->Adults, rights.
- Will Higgins™
No doubt, Akiva. The teacher was out of line, but really? As I recall, "freedom of expression" was not the norm when I was in school. If it had been, we would not have accomplished much.

- Mistletoe Glen
What's the reason for that rule, 'Sheen?
- Will Higgins™
If you work in a Disney Park: No moustache allowed (at least it used to be true, not sure today). EDIT: Correction, no facial hair at all until year 2000 at which point it became *only* neatly trimmed moustache.
- Micah Wittman
The reason for our rules is that we are representing the company, and the company wants to project a specific image. That is generally why companies have dress codes, grooming policies, etc.
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
from iPhone
Will, employers do enforce dress codes. It's not some violation of freedom. If you don't like it, suck it up and go get a job that better suits your Flock of Seagulls hairstyle.
- Akiva Moskovitz
The difference is that you guys are adults and can make choices about facial hair, etc. I doubt that a boss would bring you in front of the company and forcibly shave you. This child's mother put a lot of love and work into her daughter's hair; to cut it off crosses a major line and says more about that teacher's inability to manage a single student than it does about the child.
- cecily
from iPhone
Cutting a child's hair as punishment is seriously out of line. How could anyone even *think* to do something like that??
- Kamilah Gill
cecily, right, and I don't mean my comments to construe that I support this (as my first comment should prove). I was just snarking on Will unnecessarily taking this opportunity to utilize an isolated incident as a rationalize to mount his bitter soapbox.
- Akiva Moskovitz
So wrong!! Completely out of line. And, while a lot of people twirl their hair, I wonder if that "teacher" knows that it is a common behavior among girls with ADHD who don't always express the hyperactive part in the same way that boys do. Regardless, no one should get in trouble for twirling his/her hair and cutting a child's hair without permission is way over the line.
- Katy S
Asking the child to go home and cut their hair is fine, schools here do that to keep up their appearance but to cut it themselves is way out of line. No one should be touching anyone, unless you're in Asia (that's another story). My work also gets us to be clean shaven unless you've already got an established beard which must be tidy.
- Andrew Trinh
from IM
cecily: no question that the teacher was wildly out of line. My comments had more to do with Will's passionate, if hyperbolic, decrying of the loss of personal freedom. While cutting off *a braid* was wrong, in the grand scheme of things I don't see that it equates to, say, turning the firehoses on protesters in Birmingham, or even striking misbehaving children (as often happened/happens in schools). I therefore contend that the response in this thread is, by and large, somewhat overwrought.

Um, I would say that the fact that the teacher actually gives a crap if her students pay attention or not is kind of a good thing, even if her methods are unorthodox. People grabbing torches and chasing the monster to the lake is kind of the reason we're probably going to see more teachers caring less in the near future. Why bother when this could be the result?
- Noah Belson
...#bitchlips
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
from iPhone
This isn't care, it's abuse, Noah. There's a difference.
- Kamilah Gill
I do not see this as a good example of a teacher who "cares"; rather, this is an example of a teacher who has not established control of the class, and has acted inappropriately in lieu of proper discipline.
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
from iPhone
That's true, Kamilah. Though I'm wondering where we're going to draw the line as more and more stories like this crop up. What's next to be considered abuse? Making kids spit out gum? Giving them detention? This time the teacher was in the wrong, but next time she may not be and we're likely to be so gung ho that we completely jump off the deep end (which we humans do so well). Just a thought...
- Noah Belson
Noah - did you see my comment about kids with adhd? Behaviors like hair twirling can actually help them focus on the task at hand. I'm not saying this girl has adhd, but teachers should be aware of this sort of thing. Also, the kid's in 1st grade. She's probably only 6 or 7. If the teacher couldn't handle hair twirling, she probably can't handle other behavior issues that happen at that age.
- Katy S
I'm surprised it took so long for someone to break out the old "slippery slope" ... Thanks for not letting me down, Noah
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
from iPhone
All true, Katy. No question, what the teacher did was wrong.
- Noah Belson
Are teachers even allowed to discipline kids at all anymore? In any way whatsoever?
- Akiva Moskovitz
Bren, I'm not sure which worse, being the guy on the internet who does something cliched, or being the guy who points out the guy who does something cliched. Both are kind of odious, but the latter can't really exist without the former.
- Noah Belson
Detention and making kids spit out gum don't involve touching the offending child. This case here was a violation. Paddling *used* to be okay, but it's not anymore, probably because it could easily be abused. Cutting a kid's hair off has never been okay. How do you think your parent would have felt back when you were a kid if you got a hunk of your hair cut off as punishment by some adult? or how would you feel about this happening to your own child?
- Kamilah Gill
Akiva - Of course they can. Cutting off a child's hair is not discipline, though. It is assault. Having said that, some states (and it all depends on individual state laws and then the local school district regulations ) still permit corporal punishment. I don't agree with that. There are many other ways to discipline children that don't involve assaulting them.
- Katy S
I'm pretty sure it's clear which I'd rather be.
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
from iPhone
Given what you said and when you said it, it's abundantly clear, yep.
- Noah Belson
Although, I do try to pick my spots. I save my snark for only the most egregious occassions.
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
from iPhone
Actually I respect that, Bren. I try to do the same, though with limited success.
- Noah Belson
Kamilah - Did you know that corporal punishment is legal in Indiana? It is banned in many individual school districts and schools, but the state allows it.
- Katy S
No. Hope Carmel bans it. We need to get out of the frigging dark ages here. This state gets on my nerves regularly.
- Kamilah Gill
I'm pretty sure my former district does now. When I was in elementary school, it didn't, although I do remember when there was a switch from allowing teachers to paddle students to only allowing the principal to do it. I remember in 5th grade there were 3 boys in my science class who were paddled by the teacher at least once a week. You'd think that teacher would notice that his idea of discipline didn't work. If it did, there would not be weekly paddlings of the same kids.
- Katy S
I'd be worried that someone was getting a perverse thrill out of paddling kids, especially in that weekly paddling situation you describe...
- Kamilah Gill
Yeah, me too. Those three were trouble and kept getting into trouble (although they did turn out to be mostly ok adults), but the constant paddling was not effective.
- Katy S
i feel worse for the teacher than for the girl. the teacher should pay the fine and then be given some stress mgmt counseling. and then the US school system should be overhauled. see? so easy. ;)
- edythe
IMO it was highly inappropriate on the teacher's part. First graders are going to fidget. It's not like the kid was doing anything outrageous.
- Andrew C
Noah: I'm a lover, not a fighter ;)
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
That was an abusive move on the part of the teacher. Sure, hair grows back, but to cut off the hair of a first grader for fidgeting? Gonna have a lot of bald kids. How about making the class a bit more interesting then... Anyways, if it were my child, I'd turn into a "monster parent" pretty darn quick.
- Rick Cogley
" How about making the class a bit more interesting then" ... I'd probably argue against the assumption that class must be "interesting" - and argue that edutainment has destroyed creativity and self-discipline. Kids now wait to be entertained rather than being creative on their own.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
In Japan, though, teachers' hands are tied so tightly that they can't do anything. My wife is an assistant teacher for the school district for English classes. Says it's completely out of control. Both my wife and I grew up when corporal punishment and other various abuses were considered normal, but now that pendulum has really swung so far to the other side, that teachers can't do or say anything, here in Japan, for fear they'll be sued. And this isn't even a litigious society.
- Rick Cogley
LPH and/or dog P, yeah, maybe my comment was ill-considered. There are indeed a lot of influences that might contribute to a fidgety situation.
- Rick Cogley
WTF?
- Tyson Key
I'm one of those people that would normally be in favour of the teacher. Hair grows back, it's not really assault (no bodily HARM done, cutting hair doesn't hurt), and the teacher was trying to maintain order in the class. That being said, this is just idiotic. Kids (and adults, for that matter) play with hair all the time. Was this really something that needed disciplinary action? I'm...

I like how Google Chrome deals with OpenSearch. It appears to cache the XML definition as it auto-discovers them. Just start typing the domain and then hit tab to search it. Much nicer than manually installing a new search for each domain like Firefox does.

It also appears to work for sites that don't publish an OpenSearch spec. I think it does something smart to figure out where your result endpoint is and what your query parameter is.

This has always been one of my most favorite features of Chrome. I'd like to see them fold in Opera's method as well so I can configure a given search if Chrome's auto-discovery doesn't work exactly right.

I'm not sure I like it. I often use Google site search to bypass a site's own search because Google is often better. Now when I type in site:sitename.com it automatically defaults to the site's own search.

Jesse, strange. I just tried doing a site:site.com search and it worked as expected. The behavior might be different in Windows.
- Akiva Moskovitz
You can also add one manually, just use the url and "%s" (minus quotes) where the query goes, and it adds "search+term+goes+here" if your search is "search term goes here"

When will we see the new RT system being pushed to other services like Facebook and FriendFeed?
Alex Scrivener liked this
Don't really see the need.
- Mo Kargas
Facebook does have the 'Share' link under some posts.
- Bryce Roney
I see the need because I like to push my updates over but anything that is RT using the new system doesn't get pushed over.
- Andrew Trinh
from IM
Well for one, the new RT isn't documented in the Twitter API, as far as I know

The battered husband who snapped after 20 years of submission. http://www.smh.com.au/nationa...
What a sad story. He clearly was abused. Not that that excuses murder in a case where you're not immediately being physically threatened. I'm usually pretty hardass when it comes to crime but I agree with the article that with a lot of therapy he could be rehabilitated.
- Spidra Webster
It's quite hard to believe some people, it's a shame that he was pushed so much that he snapped.

Yup, they are pathetic, hence my public termination of shopping with them.
