Toilet cleanup. Followed by moping.

I guess without? I don't know. The closest thing I have to a hoodie is a hoodie wetsuit.

Yes, but not in the way you'd think. I anticipate a robotic colonization for the purpose of resource extraction...robominers.

Of course thats only until my kid grows up. He declared he was going to terraform mars so he could be king there.

America owns the corporations not some 1% guy with the money.

No. Stockholders own the corporations. The majority stockholders are...multinational corporations and extremely wealthy individuals.

@Ragdrazi: Nice counter.

I do not partake in Halloween, as I dislike both dressing up and candy, and always have.

What did you say about candy?!

@Blak_Knot: One year a guy I knew used saran wrap and foil to make himself into a robot-thing. Of course not too long into the evening he realized that saran wrap doesn't breath..but for a short time it was a very creative, low cost costume.

What costumes are you guys wearing?

I'll be Batman (again), my wife will be Wonder Woman (again), and my kids will be Anakin Skywalker and Asoka Tano.

@PeasantAbuse: So they can make whatever comment they want without it being tied back to their "real" account?

@Maluvin: As I said, the school may have a policy. All students should follow school policy, but it is not illegal to violate it (there still can be repercussions, but you're not going to jail for cheating on a math exam, but you will get expelled).

As far as the public space issue...the question is really "Do you have an expectation of privacy?" If you're in you're home or office talking on the phone, you expect that your conversation is private. When someone records you saying "'I blew President Clinton", they've taken your privacy.

If you shouted "I blew President Clinton" at a Yankee's game, you'd have no expectation of privacy even though the venue is privately owned. By shouting at the game, you've chosen to relinquish your privacy.

First of all, the consent for recording conversations is limited to private conversations. Because there is no expectation of privacy during a lecture at a school, there is no need to get consent. It would be the same thing if CNN took a picture or video of you walking down the sidewalk and then put it on the news. They don't need to get your permission or compensate you.

Second, the school may have a policy about recording lectures (which I seriously doubt) which then can enforce, though not legally (that is they could kick your friend from the class but not jail him).

Lastly, the only way the law enforcement would get involved is if your friend tried to use the recording in some public manner (court, press, sold the lecture..something like that). The police actually do have more important things to do than arrest college students recording lectures.
