Today and Yesterday so many kids were trying to download IOS7 onto their ipads that the school had to increase blockage and slow down the wifi to make them stop it.
Your school has WiFi? When I went to high school, kids weren't even allowed to have their phones or any sort of electronics on the during school hours; you were supposed to keep them your locker (not that that stopped a lot of people).

Yeah it's got wifi that alternates between good and incredibly terrible depending on blarglgnajfgsakb. We have a program that gives certain classes free ipads (insurance is not free though). Apparently next year everyone in the school will get one.

How often I end up thinking about utterly stupid things I've done in the past at the oddest moments.

Must be that hindsight people tell me about :P

Why iPads and not something just as good and much cheaper. Is this a marketing gag from Apple to get students addicted to their products and thus ensuring future clientele?

because advertising, peer pressure and apple does have better school programs than microsoft (not throwing out Dreamspark though).

Partially. They DO sell the computers at a big discount to schools. It benefits the schools by them getting cheap computers, and benefits Apple by indoctrinating impressionable young minds.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I thought the lightsaber was a play on democrat and republican party colors.

I see Red, White, and Blue in the lightsaber. So I just assumed it was the typical American flag colors.

Generally I've noticed that Mac has better student discounts (as in selling to the students themselves) while Windows has better school discounts (as in selling to the schools themselves).

Personally, I always thought she was kind of plain looking.

That also seems to be a particularly unflattering picture of her.

Eh, you're never going to find someone who 100% of people find attractive. At most you can go with statistics and find people that the majority find attractive.
