Dagobahn Eagle Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 At my school they have a Loss of Privilege system that kicks in if you're failing a class at the end of a week. If you are, you'll have to get a progress report from the teacher of the class you are failiing, and you'll have to go to tutorials for that class.

Tie Guy Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 It is Latin, i can assure you of that. Its not greek, unless the words happen to be the same with all the right endings in Greek as they are in Latin. For instance, "fili" is a vocative in the second declesions, since the senence is a direct adress. The ending for that is "i" And Tu is a nominative pronoun, the ending for which is "u". While possible, it is highly unlikely that Greek would have the same endings, and i'm almost certain it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Originally posted by Tie Guy Yeah, that sucks. I have a class like that, Latin IV AP, and I hate it. 3 people in out class were passing after the first quarter, one of which had a D, the other a C, and i ended up with an A. Our teacher is really smart but can't teach at all. I'd imagine yours is similar, and all i can say is sorry. I feel your pain I had a teacher like that for algebra II, first semester. Incredibly smart, beyond any of the other teachers...but he could not teach. I got my first and only D (or grade below a B-, even) in a class the semester I had him. Fortunately, he left.

NamelessSith Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Originally posted by darthfergie I'm learning Greek and I havn't seen any of those words... Fergie, it might be ancient Greek. Ya never know. The letters could be mistransliterated, too, as we've learned in class SO OFTEN! Why don't they just make up their minds?! And by the way... "Graphomen Toutous tous Logous tou Theou!" (That's MY way to transliterate. hehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you guys had already figured it out. Juliuis Caesar's last words were (accoring to Shaespeare) "Et tu, Brute?", meaning "and you Brutus?". Of course, thats not real, no one knows what he actually said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefo Posted November 30, 2002 Author Share Posted November 30, 2002 You know, my teacher in the class I got a C in is really incompetent, for the better sometimes too.. He actually let me take one of my tests home over the weekend and let me "Do it at home." Now I have 2 days to do a test that I had an hour in class to do, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, thats not real, no one knows what he actually said. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius+Caesar I was a little off. Quote from that page: -------------------------------- His famous last words were: Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi!

Tie Guy Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Hmm...thats odd, i was sure that his last words were simply made up by Shakespeare, but i guess not. Anyways, "Et tu, Brute" means "You too, Brutus" only in the loosest of translations. I literally means "And you, Brutus". "Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi" means literally "You also, Brutus, my son," Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I don't think there are money in the music industry anymore.. not with Napster on the Web.. You can't do it for a living anymore, to say it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I think that's why a LOT of music artists are going into acting....ex JLO, eminem...etc. Other choose to make money by publicity stunts...to get their name and face out there like MJ j.k. And of course there is always money in Music Videos - Hosting Awards - being on TV - Interviews - books - and of course CONCERTS. There are more ways than just ...napster...ya its eating some sales....Music artists are just going to have to find new ways to make some money. edited to add: even Brittany Spears has her own video game...

Artoo Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 If the CD is good, people with dial-up will buy it. I've proven this point many times. The industry sure has taken a hit, but also you have to account for all the great regional bands whom you can't download their music, they can still corner the market, course there really aren't that many to talk about. But I do know 2 good ones! So I guess there's hope if you're only a regional/local band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't download a music file within 4 minutes, ya might as well buy the cd... Unless it's one of those expensive imports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
