More retarded BS from my IT teacher... is he correct?

If he ever gets to be manager of something and has been taught properly he will scrap the spreadsheets and do things properly rather than keep ploughing crap into excel like a retard.
Your teacher sounds like a good example of "Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach"

Although you may have been proven correct in this case, I like the way you called it 'retarded BS' in the title, but had to ask for confirmation.

That is probably just down to an agreement between them, you can often agree a set price if the journey is likely to be long (although for £6.50 that doesn't really apply strictly in your case).
As for cabs with meters, as far as I can tell you've got a standard rate per mile but that varies with time of day, the preset charge varies according to time of day and number of people getting the cab and if you're sat stationary for a period the meter will also tick on. I'd think 99% of all cabs I've ever been in have used this arrangement rather than some pre-defined database of routes - for a kickoff that wouldn't take into account diversions or anything like that.

Probably, but "if your HDD makes noise it means its broken" is a completely wrong generalisation. The buzz from mine sends me to sleep...
You must be joking? Have the school just picked him off of the streets?
OT: I've got a problem. When scanning for viruses and running CCleaner, my PC makes a funny noise, kinda like grinding. Is my PC about to blow up? Cheers

The number of combinations that would give is incredible, just the 49 lottery numbers give a combination of 13,000,000,000 combos. You should prove this to him and them have him fired.

I pay (when I can't be bothered to walk) £5 for 1.5 miles home. London Black Taxis are expensiveee.
ICT teachers improve. The one teaching my A level course at the moment has been headhunted by Microsoft for being in the top 0.5% of programmers.

And round here, if they find out you're on business, they'll jack up the price and then put a higher price still on the receipt, because they're theiving tossers.

Just under 14M actually, so you're only 3 orders of magnitude out!

Taxi's here in Stoke charge whatever they want.
There is definitely no pre-defined cost.

Some are a joke! I remember many times Ive had a grumble about the prices to and from Hanley (about 20 mins)
i have come across both situations
at uni they use meters but mainly doesnt go past the £2.60 start cost
When at home i was charged from 1 town to the next he looked in his book and even showed it to me was £35 for that time period.
So you are both right.
