This is one of those moments that I love/. Personally, I was trying to calculate the first 50M primes using the sieve of Erastothenes and then contructing a program that categorizes them but since you are doing all the work I say go ahead and I'll wait for the results.

And the artist's rendition of the sound of the explosion:
I just love that US citizens are blatantly disregarding broadly accepted(the US doesn't count) international rules regarding national sovereignity for some easy profit.
The US is one of the worlds biggest parasites. Setting up tinpot dictators and removing them at will and invading some countries after a decade or so is utterly dispicable and the United States(and by extension its citizens) should keep their mouths shut about other countries.
Stay out of the affairs of the world. Go stage a parade and act all important in your own backyard. Fuck off.
Don't forget the people of http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/ . They have been working on their project for the last 7 years and looking at the schedule I can safely say that this project will take some more years before for example the Morrowind mod is finished. But the team is persistent and I am patient.
In the Netherlands, where I live, we have a seperated the high-school classes based on your learning capacity. If you are smart, you will be able to visit the higher high-school classes, if you aren't you will go to the lower classes. We now have 4 distinct levels(more or less), and the highest level is split in two where people in the higher class of the two get taught greek and/or latin.
The ability to maintain control is different for the different levels of students and it is widely known and accepted that people in level 1 are much harder to control than people in level 4 although you will always have problems with teaching in every level if you can't keep order.
Thankfully, people in level 4(where I have studied) mostly take their work seriously and I learned in a mostly healthy environment partially because of that. I have dozens of examples of teachers who had limited to no authority and without exceptions the learning process was disturbed by that. Effects ranged from taking the teacher not seriously in class to outright insulting them in public and actively trying to get them to leave by means of causing distress.
"In my personal opinion the minute a teacher decides: "Correcting false information is less important than maintaining my own aura of authority," they stop being an educator and start down the road to becoming a tyrant in a teapot. "
And the minute they lose their autority is the minute their job becomes hell. Admitting that you're wrong is important but being in charge of the classroom should most certainly not be ignored as an important factor in doing your properly.
Only the very best can do both so you need to sacrifice some of your wishes to keep the system running. Sad but true.
"I think most nerds have had bad experiences with teachers in public school. Because either teachers count off for the most ridiculous things, have a personal bias against some things (and will fail you if you think otherwise), have a personal vendetta against students who (rightfully) correct them, or many other things that are wrong with our public school system."
Well, this isn't surprising. As someone who has been in high-school and also someone who grew up in a family of teachers I can safely say that this is inevitable. Nice teachers will simply be bullied untill they give in. High-school kids are highly observant of the level of authority a teacher has and once they see a weakness they can be quite merciless.
The people who are left are either split between people who have some natural authority and dickheads(the kind you read about in this article). A lot of teachers see students correcting them as an assault on their authority and they are partly right about this. Yes, the student may be right but admitting this may weaken the position the teacher has or aspires to have and thereby he has to carefully maneuvre between admitting his faults and maitaining order in the classroom(and over the students in general).
Remember that a high-school student spends around 5 years in a high-school but a teacher needs to maintain his position many times longer and that can cause the teacher to become ridgid. Personally, I see this as in inevitability though through good planning the damage can be minimized.
Mac OS is a niche market. In the Windows market, reality has a way of kicking you in the balls. Yes, this will be a support nightmare but we simply cannot write of the biggest heap of legacy software ever. That would be the true nightmare, no correct support for older apps. And by older I mean everything tailored for XP, either 1 or 7 years ago.

There are 95 primes between 30000 and 31000 and there are 98 primes between 70000 and 71000 so that isn't always the case.

Or liberal propaganda?
Slashdot is sometimes quite sickening in this aspect, venturing beyond their intended area(news for nerds) to score some ad-impressions.
Wow, I like your well supported arguments and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
After putting roaches, beetles and plant lice in their basement, they soon realised the futility of the operation and they called it off.
Putting bugs in peoples basements doesn't work, it only makes the basements icky!
I usually surf with no-script off but I've made an exception for no-script.net. I now have scripts everywhere except for no-script.net. Anti-socials.
"I can't speak for our German sister party, but as a member of the Swedish pirate party, I can assure you that the Pirate Party is not a fake party."
True, the problem is the lack of recognition by all the navies in the world.
may your chains rest lightly upon you
"The Pirate Party aren't revolutionaries because they aren't fighting for anything in particular, just against something (which is almost as vague)"
People who fought against prohibition weren't revolutionaries because they weren't fighting for anything in particular, just against something.
Your comparison does not hold up.
ssshhh, the "ga" is secretly embedded through steganography
