We also have huge amounts of legal and social framework set up to accommodate 2-adult family units; enabling the gender bits to be flipped any which way doesn't actually change any of how things work. Opening up the system to accomodate polygamy would open huge cans of worms (an organized crime ring could all get married to each other, and be fully protected from someone turning states' evidence, for example).
I'm imagining the Sopranos mixed with Married with Children with a dash of Big tossed in there. I'm smelling the next HBO hit show!
Geez, you can't really ask for any better PR than having your project mentioned on national news. As long as he stays out of jail (go EFF!) then he'll come out on top in the end.
So by your logic I should refer to my monitor as my computer? I mean if widespread usage dictates meaning then that would in fact be acceptable, perhaps even the standard usage
While I agree that the submitter was being a bit romantic in his depiction of the reader, you shouldn't dismiss his ideas simply because of it. One of my favorite elements of reading static text without any added illustrations is you get to use your imagination to fill in the blanks! TV basically just hands you all of the artwork and scenery but when you read, all you get is the jist from the author and it's up to you to weave those descriptions together with your imagination into something.
Adding all of these interactive elements robs children of the process of creating these images themselves. when they hear about XYZ in the story they willl just imagine the depictions that popped out of the margins in page 2 instead of their own mental image based on the description.
To me, this has always been one of the greatest strengths of literature and I would hate to see the importance of this cast aside in favor of profits/"oh look shiney shiney" mentality.
Logic Police: you didn't use the phrase "begs the question" correctly. You meant to say "raises the question" or something along those lines. Begs the question implies a logical fallacy where the conclusion of an argument is presented as evidence for the very same conclusion.
To put this in/. terms using begs the question in that context, that's like saying that Windows 7 is the #1 FOSS and that Steve Jobs has changed up the agricultural industry with his new produce.

Is it really neccesary to explain who intel is on/.? I think even my parents know that intel makes chips, they put out enough commercials... Are even our taco overlords not really reading TFS before hitting that submit button?
http://www.nerdapaloozafest.com/ this is a good example of ways to meet fellow geeks. I recommend any event like this where people come together and share a common interest. there's also lan parties, anime conventions, linux installing parties and lots of other events and clubs where geeks come together.
Check your local craigslist and other sites for events and just got to a few! And remember, try and push urself to be more outgoing. I was a rather shy kid and I still have the tendency to clam up in public but if you consciously work on it you can change yourself.
the common usage is to distinguish between hyperbole and the truth. one would say he literally kicked my ass as in there was foot to ass contact instead of just a general beatdown.
A lot of people depend on tv for news so in a disaster it could be crucial information, though I will point out that there's radio as well in such an incident. But more relevant to the everyday, the tv is a source of news in the home and considering that most people are more visually oriented, tv is a better medium than the radio for most information.
And yes, there do exist places where there is no broadband and with the recession, some newspapers have decided to cut off delivery service so that people can't even get a deadtree newspaper in my town anymore./rant

Ok, I usually don't post to correct people but... It's THAN not THEN! You use than in comparasions, for example "the cat is better than the dog" and you use then in situations like "I ran the dog over with my car, then i got the cat too."
Some schools have BS/MD programs for students who would otherwise be "traditional" pre-med in undergrad - finish the two degrees in less than the usual 8 years (and hence take in less debt)
I'm not sure I would recommend a BD/SM program for my daughter but I suppose it take's all kinds.

Our program advisory committee is made up of the best of the best companies in the world. So far," he says, "they are very happy with our policy."
Yeah, I'm sure there's no bias on that board whatsoever!

I think Google says it all in their description of their 2-factor authentication
2-step verification drastically reduces the chances of having the personal information in your Google account stolen by someone else
Emphasis mine but yeah, straight from their site

Great point. Microsoft releases security patches as well so those must be evil too! Death to all patches!

Good luck! derp, i mean Live long and Prosper!
I won't mind the seque coming out late this year as long as they do something special for the owners of the first one.
Maybe a 10-20% off or access to a closed beta would make me happy enough.

Stop killing my language! I can promise that the news will never "literally" die because it's not alive!

Steam shoulda done it the EA way
Good lord! It must be backwards day on /.
Go Microsoft!
But seriously, with all of the mods out there $1 hl is a better value than free C&C

Taking all bets! Trolls or husband!
I just moved from OSX to Ubuntu a couple of weeks ago.
Benefits:
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't multiple desktops exactly what spaces is for?
yes, but TFS is only talking about the percentage gain in power output not in efficiency.
obviously there is an increase in efficiency, duh. THS just doesn't ee fit to mention how much.
it IS an increase in efficiency but TFS is talking about an increase in power output by 50%-100% NOT in efficiency.
the windmill will be able to function in a wider range of wind conditions meaning that the power input will change. Hence you FAIL
power output != efficiency
FAIL

Sorry but it just hurt me to read your post.
There are a variety of ways to deal with that.

Wait, I think i read that wrong....
Here's from the president and founder of DigiPen:
"I am not saying that we will not change in the future," he adds. "But, in order to do that, we need to talk to the industry to see what they feel would be best. Our program advisory committee is made up of the best of the best companies in the world. So far," he says, "they are very happy with our policy."
Yeah, I'm sure there's no bias on that board whatsoever!
Also, where's that music coming from?!
The Cylons
Of course, this also begs the question:
no, that simply raises the question. begging the question refers to a logical fallacy where one uses circular reasoning.
