Agree. I especially hate it when they take an ordinary gadget and transform it into "THE MOST EXPENSIVE ____ EVER" by pasting diamonds all over it. That's not the most expensive TV ever. It's a bundle that includes a regular TV and a fuck ton of diamonds.
It depends. Some teachers design good tests where all the grunt work can be done mentally. Some are lazier and don't really plan the problems out well, and generally let you use a basic non-graphic, non-calculus calculator. But really, those calculators are only useful for skipping out of differentiation/integration in the sweet-spot of calc 1 or 2. Any higher than that, and the calculator is generally clueless, and tries to come to some sort of useless numerical approximation.They're useful for checking work, mainly.
Hate on Obama all you want, but if you're trying to pretend that he's not "well versed in our own government," you're just being silly. He's obviously well-educated, regardless of what you think of him.
You had a slight typo there. I think you meant "the people who game the system by not buying in, and then go to the Emergency Room because they didn't have any preventative care, and/or declaring bankruptcy when something terrible happens and leaving their debt on the rest of society." Easy mistake.
Yeah, it'd be great if we could set up some sort of institution that could teach them those sorts of lessons, or give them some sort of useful skill to propel them out of poverty.
On that other hand, that would probably mean us middle class/rich people would have to pool our money to set that up, and that's communist, so fuck 'em! Or maybe, if we want to be nice, they can borrow money from us to pay for the exorbitant schooling costs, at rates that will make us even richer! Yippee!
"Mr. Fred, we see you purchased a phone, and then three months later, used that phone to call in a bomb threat."
"Oh, I bought that for my friend Steve."
"All right, we'll check him out."
This law has many problems, but that's not one of them.
Interestingly enough, a computer would likely parse that sentence correctly, while nearly any human speaker (not familiar with the sentence) would think it's a nonsense phrase.
That's fine. The problem is that the service providers are adverting unlimited bytes for $X, and then complaining when people actually use a lot of bandwidth. If it's that much of a drain, raise the price on the "unlimited" service. But don't complain that I use to much bandwidth when you sell me uncapped service.
Are you kidding? That first comment surprises me. Speed is the reason I switched to Chrome. It's so much faster than Firefox, it's not even funny. It sounds like the single page you tested your speed premise on had some issues. You might want to expand your sample.
This is why weighting AP grades is awful. At least 25% of the people in my AP classes were there solely because it offered a 5.0 for an A and a 4.0 for a B. It even got worse, when the kids who took all the AP classes ended up having a GPA above 4.0 -- meaning any non-AP class they took would actually *lower* their GPA, regardless of what grade they got.
So yes -- open door policy, but you shouldn't provide an incentive for people who don't want to learn to take the class.
Are you joking? Is this a joke? Am I being punked?
If you get a group of 1000 random WoW players in a room together, I would guess that *maybe* one or two have ever played on a private server. The concept would probably be completely retarded to most of the other 998.
"What? How could you not want to play an MMORPG in a glitchy, slow, bug-filled environment where your loot means nothing and you'll see all of 40 people in the world at any given time?"
Wrong. EVERYTHING is under SoundExchange's jurisdiction. They have legal authority to collect fees for EVERYTHING, even artists not under the RIAA umbrella.
I'm pretty sure some, if not all, are. F&SF have Fictionwise (ebook) and Audible links on the subscription site. Doing a brief search on Fictionwise, Asimov's shows up. So I would assume you can get all of them digitally.
Dracula? Are you kidding me? He is HILARIOUSLY bad in that movie. He drops and finds his accent multiple times throughout. It's just a disaster.
A Scanner Darkly is good, though.
Are you kidding? 90% of it is "I'd like to find the area under her curves, durrr." We were doing that in high school, and it wasn't particularly funny then.

Yeah? And if you're suspected of orchestrating an anthrax attack, your browser history probably will (and should) be used as evidence of your guilt.

He is wanted for rape charges. It's the poor reporting that has hidden this nasty little fact.
Except that the number 0.0(infinite number of 0s)1 makes absolutely no sense, as it has a finite end.

I loved Final Fantasy XIII, thank you very much.

True, but the weighted GPA is still used for class-rank determinations.

This is, without a doubt, the dumbest article I've ever read.
"Say...choose 5 folders at random on a PC" And how exactly do you propose we choose those folders randomly?
Yep, just like the MacBook Air and Apple TV!
I guarantee this iSlate will cost more than $2000.
Can you give us an update on the development of Spider-Man 3?
