Can the FCC eliminate broadcasting professional and collegiate sports entirely? Fuck that shit, and fuck having to pay for 8 dedicated channels of it on my cable subscription when I don't watch that fucking shit.
No, it's fucking wrong. They even put the adjective in the wrong spot in order to mimic Latin. It's like saying "Joe Schmoe, professor retired". If you want to use it as an adjective in your title, then it has to be before the thing it modifies. This is how English works. Alternatively, if it's a minor designation you could do "professor (retired)".
Which is it? Is it an English word following English rules? If so, then it has no gender and it should come before the word "professor".
If it's a Latin word, then it's wrong for all the reasons in my other post.
Stop this shit, academia. Learn Latin if you want to use Latin words to make yourself sound special. The word is for soldiers. No fucking professor called themselves "emeritus" until the late 18th century. And now you've got dipshits getting it doubly wrong with gender. Emeritus is specifically a masculine noun.
An emeritus is a retired soldier (noun). Emeriti are retired soldiers (plural noun).
If you want to use it as an adjective it has to agree in with the noun it modifies.
A soldier emeritus is a soldier that is retired (adjective). Soldiers emeritum are soldiers that are retired (plural adjective).
"Professor" is a genderless word in English, so you need the genderless adjective.
A professor emeritus is a professor who is abusing the word "emeritus" (neutral adjective). Professors emeritorum are professors who are abusing the word "emeritus" (neutral plural).
If Mary Ann Cooper really wants to use an "a" form of the word, she must do so in a way such that it agrees with gender and count and case. Emerita Mary Ann Cooper. Mary Ann Cooper and Anne Marie Cooper Emeritae. In a more gendered language such as Spanish, we could do "Mary Ann Cooper and Anne Marie Cooper profesoras emeritarum".
But [name], [title] emerita is just fucking wrong! Stop being wrong, people. I know you like to act high and might and pat yourselves on the back (and I know because I work in academia), but please just fucking stop being so fucking wrong.
In what fucking way are they not functioning properly as-released? Are you claiming that nVidia is sending out cards that just don't fucking work? They pulled some dirty shit with bumpgate, but what you're alleging is even worse.
The general consensus that Consumer Reports seems to be getting at here is that the results that they observed shows that while the iPhones do bend, the amount of force required to do so results in phones from other manufacturers simply breaking under the stresses involved
Complete horse shit. It's not true and CR didn't make that claim or reach that "consensus" (do you even know the meaning of the word?).
This comment just made me shudder with the painful memories of writing web applications in Cold Fusion that used ADO to talk to MS Access files as the DB backend in like 1998. Ugh.
You think that's bad? I was doing this in 2008. (First task was to get them the fuck out of access and onto an actual SQL server.)
No it isn't. We made a relatively early decision in this country that debt slavery isn't acceptable, nor are debtors' prisons. We also decided you don't necessarily have full rights to your own money when you have an outstanding financial obligation, and that your wages can be legally garnished.
But we also have legal protections to insure that punitive and fiduciary measures don't create undue hardship. We have a pretty good system that does alright at balancing the risk-mitigating concerns of the creditor with the basic needs of the debtor, but in no way is failure to pay a debt actually illegal.
That fact doesn't even remotely justification the mindless advocation for it that the GP has. We don't need to have any Shylocks(and no, I'm not trying invoke the fact that he's Jewish) coming along for their pounds of flesh.
I understand your point and was mainly reacting to the poster's dickish opinion. But I do believe there are laws on the books requiring the payment of debt. You may not be arrested or go to jail, but there are legal consequences for not paying a debt.
You absolutely will be arrested and go to jail when the debt is to the state.
Owe (or be told you owe) money to the IRS, to a court for child support, whatever. Fail to pay. Be ordered by a judge to pay up. Fail to pay. Be sent to jail by a judge for failing ti comply with the previous court order.
Create an anonymous Twitter account and start tweeting details and mentioning @Apple . Partially redact them, if you want. The only way to get attention from a major corporation is to make a big public stink.
Black holes as we conceive of them now would actually be easy to see.
Light originating from behind the black hole (from the perspective of the viewer), traveling in a direction toward the black hole (but not intersecting the event horizon), would be bent by the black hole. The result would be extreme gravitational lensing. When looking at the black hole, the effect would range from a general increase in brightness around the black hole, to an extreme brightness appearing to originate from the location of the black hole.
Objects of such mass and density have not been found. We have speculated that they exist at certain places, but we have not seen the requisite lensing effects akin to a kid using a magnifying glass outside (either just looking at shit or using it to burn shit).
Black holes, with the requisite lensing effects may exist, but they'd be easy to spot. What we seen so far, and have labeled as black holes, cannot be of the size and mass we think they are.
in the software, there are functions that Blackberry has had for a decade that iOS and Android still can't duplicate
This is very true. My Android doesn't get a monthly reformat. The old Blackberry would be reformatted at least once a month because it would regularly decide to do nothing but throw errors about Java shit fucking up.
Wrong. When you control for things like experience / seniority, hours worked (overtime / full time / part time), there is no wage gap. When you include all forms of compensation, women come out ahead because they get better medical benefits and family leave benefits.
It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake. If the way is hazy, You gotta do the cooking by the book. You know you can't be lazy. Never use a messy recipe. The cake will end up crazy. If you do the cooking by the book, Then you'll have a cake. We gotta have it made. You know that I love cake. Finally it's time to make a cake.

Fuck that shit, and fuck having to pay for 8 dedicated channels of it on my cable subscription when I don't watch that fucking shit.
Why would they give me money as a reward for funding them with money?
They give you a $200 per diem at CES. But.. why not just make the reward level that much cheaper? I don't get it.
Probably because the per diem is up to $200.
So if you average $150 then they're "saving" $50/day vs reducing the price of the reward tier.
Houses existed before electricity and they still do today.

I wonder how long it'll take for having a bent phone to be a hipster fashion statement.

Wrong.
When you control for things like experience / seniority, hours worked (overtime / full time / part time), there is no wage gap.
When you include all forms of compensation, women come out ahead because they get better medical benefits and family leave benefits.
