I feel they've done a good job balancing it up to this point and I don't see any reason to think they won't continue to do so. My father-in-law has gone solo all the way up to 65 the last I heard.
Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush's masters degree disagree. Or perhaps you think that they're a piece of eye candy on the arm of their husband when, in reality, they've chosen to do other things and lead their own, low profile, lives. It's been shown that a significant portion of the female population put careers and power lower on their list of priorities. Just because a woman doesn't earn money and doesn't have power doesn't mean that she's no successful, especially in her own opinion.
I would agree with you, but the change has to come from those doing the discouraging, because encouraging one group more than another is the same as discouraging another group. In other words, promoting women can (and has) led to boys falling behind academically. Fixing the gap isn't the responsibility of those who aren't perpetuating it, especially when it comes at the cost of another group.
How many of you know that Halloween falls near 15-degrees Scorpio, and what that actually means, mathematically speaking?
If you don't, then stop talking about things you know nothing about. And if you believe that affects your everyday life in a very personal way, you should go find another site to read.
It's a funny post, but it also illustrates one of the core problems with recruiting girls into math and engineering: a lot of them aren't interested. My sisters don't care about getting into a really intensive job because they know that they're going to get married and become homemakers. It's not that there's a problem if they do differently, it's that they've chosen that path to happiness. How many girls like my sisters are skewing the results of math/engineering studies?
Actually, there's a very easy way to verify the truth of the story. Check the damn recording. It's a 20 second clip, I guarantee that it took more than 20 seconds for the police to walk into the theater from the parking lot. If she only recorded 20 seconds when the opportunity to record more was there, that's pretty verifiable.
You're right, she could have copied the whole movie and uploaded it to the internet, but she didn't, so she shouldn't get prosecuted.

Whether or not that's truly what the majority of people do (and I haven't seen a good study either way), the friend receiving the copy is avoiding the cost by getting it from his friend.
Judging by the size of the market for wow gold/goods and how many people look for enchantments that will make their characters look cool, I think there might be a market here.
I didn't get the feeling that they were justifying piracy, just reporting on the fact that it exists and then trying to say why it exists and is so rampant. Since Gamasutra is a game developer website, I can only assume that they're anti-piracy.
While there are a lot of obvious things in the article, there are a lot of things I hadn't read before. It's worth reading just to see where America might be going (on the other hand, 'net cafes aren't doing as well around here, so who knows?) Worth giving it a read.
Stanford, actually. Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure that's considered a better school than the University of Phoenix. Don't know how it ranks compared to the University of Oklahoma, but I've got a pretty good guess.
If you think the only things you learn in college are facts you can learn piecemeal on the internet, you probably don't belong in college. If you think worthwhile things can be learned only in college, you don't deserve a degree. The point of the matter is that some people love to learn and they'll do it wherever and however they can. For people like that, college can be extremely frustrating because of the emphasis that is placed on things other than knowledge.
Not to offend, but perhaps they realize that college isn't the place that you learn about new things. Why would I pay several thousand a year to learn something that I can learn on the internet? In my workplace (a programming environment), we've learned to not place any value on a degree. I've personally had to teach someone with a Ph.D. in IT how to use getters and setters. If I go to college again, it'll be to get the degree and get out of there, because I honestly doubt that they'll be able to teach me anything interesting that I haven't already learned from another source.
I, for one, miss our AMD performance overlords. I'm hoping that they climb back on top, especially since that would mean beating out the core 2 duo in performance.
I personally love gametap for a similar reason. Every month I can find a game worth playing, and at $15 / month it's cheaper than an addiction to games for the most part. Sorry if I sound like an advertisement, but I do love that service.
There's got to be some algorithm that our minds use to determine whether something is indoors or outdoors though. Why not gather data on how humans do it and then replicate that with AI? When that's done, move on to another concept until the pattern of how humans recognize things emerges, then copy that for new things.
I hope they at least screen the user generated content for online play. I don't want to play against a stick and testicles. I mean, where do you headshot that thing anyway? But seriously, I don't want all the crap that's gone through second life coming through UT.

Also, toilet bowl manufacturers are looking for new ways of turning your urine into a revenue stream.

Only if your striving for performance. For readability, multiple stars can help.

The only problem with the 360 that I heard was the lack of a guaranteed hard drive. The dvd is a new one for me.
It's like hearing that a new porn movie has a great plot.
I see this as somewhat like making the FDA find a taco sauce that tastes good on every food.
See everyone! See how Google's evil and not following their model? They're evil!

Oh yeah, much more approachable, thank you.

I'd consider that more of a statistic.
