Tim Russert Dies At 58
·
· Score: 1
My fiance's father died of what sounds like the exact same thing, at nearly the same age (58). He was very healthy, but had a genetic heart condition that the other doctors apparently didn't catch. To my understanding, heart failure is basically the final cause of (many|most) types of death, so it's actually a little more ambiguous than you might think. Or it could be that we just got a terrible coroner.
I agree completely. Why a by-the-book sitcom can repeat standard nerd jokes we all heard in middle school and get high marks from the more intelligent viewers is beyond me. The show is awful -- watch How I Met Your Mother instead.
There is an option to zoom-in in the options menu. It's a bit annoying, since it cuts off part of the side of the screen, but it makes the text readable.
I think he was talking about the assertion that playing Rock Band on expert uses the actual drum tracks, so, according to the developers, someone who could play RB perfectly on Expert would be a pretty awesome drummer. I don't know how true this is, but the drums on expert are certainly difficult enough to make it believable.
Boll generally raises his own money to make movies, if I recall correctly. A petition is going to do absolutely squat to make him stop. He was on local radio about a week ago, and he proclaimed, in fact, that a million signatures would NOT make him stop (he made a joke about Spielberg and Bay signing ~20,000 times each).
$1000 for a Blu-Ray player? Pick up a PS3 for $399. $400 on an iPod? Go get a friggin $50-$99 MP3 player.
I'm not sure what that $4000 power supply thing is -- it probably serves a purpose, though it doesn't factor into my home theatre, so it can't be all that crucial. Anyone want to shed some light on it for me?
I think it's more of a case of poor grammar. The sentence should probably read:
"The second would involve imminent threats that could include natural disasters, like hurricanes and tornadoes, or university shootings."
This may be similar with beliefs of Physicist Neil Turok of Cambridge University who has theorized about a cyclic universe, constantly expanding and compressing.
A large number of POD books (not all of them, by any means) are printed by vanity presses (see PublishAmerica). While it sucks for the legitimate self-published and POD authors not to have their books available, I can't say I'm too sad that there is one less venue for these other "publishers" to take advantage of authors.
Where did you hear this? Treating a kid like a criminal is one thing, telling them they are smart is another. The majority of kids, I'd say, are told they are smart on a regular basis (yes, there are plenty that are told they are dumb -- but this is a self-esteem issue). Are you really saying that all the kids who hear that they are smart really turn out to be geniuses? I guess I need to treat my kid like he is a millionaire so he can provide for me in my later years.
I'd say this sort of reinforcement "works" when it's negative, but it doesn't always do the same when it's positive.
It's not difficult. Calculus is heavily used in Physics. Physics is heavily used in (a subset) of CS fields. Physics is an extremely important thing for *anyone* to understand, even if they don't use it on an everyday basis, similarly to humanities. Every science major should know about the basics of kinematics, optics and electromagnetism, and advanced math plays a big part of this.
I find that the only people who generally complain about CS majors needing advanced math are the ones who have trouble in it, or the ones who are programming whizzes, but are either horribly deficient of horribly lazy when it comes to anything else. I'm double majoring in Creative Writing. Guess what? I hate that we have to take a poetry composition course. I am not going to write poetry in any future career. But I understand completely why it's there.
Does anyone remember this in Metal Gear Solid? There was a frequency on the back of the CD case you had to call to progress with the game (true, you could look it up online, but it was more to be clever than copyright protection). I remember being so frustrated when the commander told me to "check the back of the CD case." I searched my inventory for hours.
Paraphrasing from memory, but very apt:
"Many theorize that when the universe crashes it is instantly replaced by an even weirder one. Others theorize that this has already happened."

Slashdot Mirror
Sure, he designed a 3D Solar cell. But does he have a complete collection of Pokemon cards, both holo and nonholo? I think not.
"Certain circumstances" - voting for a Democrat.
Still touting the insane idea that the media is not a right-wing mouthpiece? How cute.

I'm hoping against hope the the RB drums will be compatible -- the cymbals looks to be both labeled by yellow, so maybe they map to the same note?

What the hell kind of souped up Alienware laptops are the State Department using that cost $3000 each?
Kind of insightful, actually, when you think about the topic.
Wikipedia is very much a source for the vague, common-knowledge facts like that one.
That Billy Shears was a rockin' dude.

I've never been able to find solutions manuals, reliably, anywhere other than on eMule.

So that explains all the dinosaurs!
