What classes at school do you like, what do you hate, etc.
I like computer programming. A lot. So I can enjoy a computer programming class even if the teacher really sucks (which most CS teachers I have do). In high school, I spent a whole semester learning PHP and working on a project, and the teacher knew nothing about PHP! I also generally like math classes, because I'm pretty good at math, but really bad teachers can ruin them if I can't learn anything. Science classes I'm kinda neutral toward. I'm interested in science, but I find it harder than just math, not by much though. I'm not too fond of really weird labs though as I have no idea what to expect (and I hate anything involving live arthropods, or microscopes). Most labs are kinda fun but I'm always scared I'll screw something up. English and social studies were always my worst enemy. Don't get me wrong, I've had some GREAT classes of each when the teacher is enthusiastic, a good lecturer, and not a really tough grader or too demanding. But on the other hand, these classes are very teacher-dependent and each teacher wants something different. I had one that cared almost exclusively about grammar. We would write fiction (which is where I got my interest in it) but we'd have to do something silly with it, like underline all the prepositions, and at least half the grade was based on that. And some of them are really demanding, like one who expected us to read about 100 pages of Plato in two days with no background whatsoever, using a translation that's so unintelligible that it was probably translated from Greek to Russian to Swahili to Esperanto to Martian to English and back again six times, with a teacher whose accent is so unintelligible that he might as well have been speaking Martian (and probably was). |

Today was an eeeeeeeeevil day for me, anyway.
Interestingly enough, we're studying hell in literature class right now (well, Dante's Inferno). |

But he's talking specifically about empty alt attributes; i.e., those with no text given, just alt="" with nothing between the quotes. I don't think "" will be too much help to a blind person.
I think there are some images that don't need the alt tags at all though, like, I don't know, a "bullet" image or something, or a decorative horizontal line used instead of <hr>, etc. |

Yeah, I think it's a relic from the teletype days. A teletype had no screen, it was basically a printer connected to a computer. All output was immediately printed out. So you could get a letter like è by entering an e, then a backspace code, then `, causing the ` to appear over the e. When video screens started appearing, they lost the ability to display more than one character on top of each other like that, but the ASCII standard had already been developed and programmers found a use for characters like ` in programming languages and command-line environments. |

594. When I use < to mention an HTML tag in a post, then when I edit it the symbols are changed back into < and are parsed as a tag, forcing me to edit AGAIN to re-add <.
500th reply or something. |

Even more boring than Xkeeper's.
That's on my laptop, although my desktop is also the default blue. "WinHugs" is a Haskell programming environment, not a program that gives people hugs. |

Posted by Keitaro In high school, the (White, male) assistant principal was named Kim. And yes, it was short for Kimberly. His last name was Hartman, so I can imagine him being made fun of a lot in elementary school for having such a girly name. (Then again, he was at least 65, so maybe it was a male name then.) |

Even so, I hope someone is making backups.
The lowest-numbered town square I remember is 4. I think it started because there used to be the ACS, which was the top 10 posters of each day getting points for their rank over a month, and there was a thread in which Colin would post that day's ACS results every day. That thread would have discussion about the ACS and rankings but also a lot of random general discussion. At some point, either the powers that be decided to split the general discussion into a separate thread, or people wanted that "general" thread during the time in 2004 that had no ACS. |

It's [ækmɫm] or "ack-mulm" how I say it.
607. People who can't wrap their tongue around that syllabic L and say "ay-see-em-ell-em". |

Well, besides the fact that there IS currently no ACS thread. |

I saw him (her? it?) around Acmlm's in 2003, when he was male and "GigaTrapster". |

What's a "life"? Like a 1-UP in videogames, right? |

The parentheses indicate that they posted while logged out within the last five minutes. |

621. When people "sign" their posts, E-mails, etc. I know it's from you, you don't have to put your name at the bottom. |

Am I the only one that doesn't view postcount++ as necessarily bad? |

I just have an old, small, piece of junk TV, but it doesnt bother me as I never watch TV anymore. It's mostly there for my dad, who watches the news and Seinfeld. |

Posting is fun for me, but I also like seeing numbers increase for some reason. The most important thing though is that we're a community and have discussions and conversation on the board. I just get pissed off at people who are like "POST COUNT SUCKS LET'S ABOLISH IT" just because they themselves don't care about it.
Then again, threads that are only to increase post count are pretty boring. Like word associations and such. |

I'm not interested in a car. I get along fine with a bicycle and the bus system, in Detroit. Since I plan to live in Europe, I should have no problem over there with their trains and such. |
