Im pretty sure that the majority of cops that became criminals were the hardest to catch. They know all the tricks and what other cops/detectives will be looking for.
It was funny. It really showed me the power of gradualism. It's hard to get people to do something bad all in one big jump, but if you can cut it up into small enough pieces, you can get people to do almost anything.
It reminds me of the movie Permanent Midnight , where Ben Stiller starts out the movie smoking weed and at the end is hooked on crack.
It's probably Ben Stiller's best work, by the way.
Define "access to experts" because I don't consider listening to a lecture with 200 other people to be access. If just listening, without being able to ask questions, is considered "access," then I have access to President-Elect Obama every day.
I recently had some pictures taken at a local photographer's studio. All of the cameras in the studio had Wi-Fi. Once the pictures were taken, we were able to view them in another room immediately.
The schools with the large lecture halls just want your money. They accept everyone, (not MIT of course) and then weed you out by making learning as difficult as possible. They get a semester or two of tuition at very little cost to them. Good schools may have lower acceptance rates, but higher graduation rates.
I too took Industrial Psychology, and some other psychology courses as well. I remember that two of the courses covered the subject of "personality testing", and nearly all the material and cases we covered criticized the use of personality testing for any kind of serious use, as being notoriously unreliable.
My course basically said they were unreliable too, which is why I posted TFA.
It makes me wonder the human resources departments at places that still use these tests.
If a simple test can filter out the applicants who are too honest or too clueless for a career in retail sales, why not use it?
You raise an interesting point, unfortunately these tests are usually used to prevent losses due to employee theft.
My industrial psychology professor once told me a story about a group of nuns and monks that took these tests and failed. When they were asked questions like, "do you know anyone that abuses drugs," or, "do you know anyone who has committed a felony" they answered yes, and therefore failed the test. This group of monks and nuns volunteered at substance abuse rehabilitation centers and had answered the questions truthfully.
Both EMC/VMWare and Sun Microsystems (VirtualBox) are on the list. Does anybody honestly think that Microsoft will rule the virtual machine market? I think it's one or the other.
Until then the location of the line is subject to too much human error, and as a result completely arbitrarily placed anyway.
I was watching a Purdue game this year and the commentators were having a debate over the accuracy of the yellow line. It went something like this:
commentator 1: The yellow line is only in the correct location if the field is perfectly straight. commentator 2: Purdue is an engineering school, I'm pretty sure the field is straight.
The green or blue weather map is a straight chromakey, the matted background is opaque and the removed background is monochromatic. The first-down line/overlays have to be added to a surface of varying (but reasonably predictable) colors, and it's laid over the action, with objects "in front" (not grass) matted out of the overlay. This is very complicated.
What's more interesting is that it works in Green Bay, where the field may randomly switch from green to white in a matter of minutes, and the player's on the field are wearing green.
It's probably kids doing their homework before school the next day.
From TFA:
On weekdays, there is a sharp decline in speeds between 3pm and 4pm (school finishing time) followed by a levelling-off between 6pm and 7pm, which can perhaps be attributed to people leaving their computers for dinner (a similar resurgence in speed is seen on Sunday evening at the same time).

You pay for access to experts in the field.

If I'm paying $40,000 a year to get an education, I expect that the university do all in it's power to facilitate the education.
Exactly, I could teach myself the material for a lot less money. I pay the money to get, as the grandparent says, a cozy environment.

is it air tight?

Why the fuck is this presented in Flash? It has NO added value and makes the material harder to digest.
Now there is a company I would like to see go out of business. Unfortunately, Adobe appears to be doing just fine.

Oddly enough, that is precisely the problem.
What part of "bogus hypothesis" didn't you get?
The mystery is whether or not giving your child the same name as a feminine pronoun is confusing.
The answer is, yes, it's very confusing.
The world has become so covered by interconnecting copper wire, it has become a massive Faraday cage and is impervious to such threat.

what ever happened to that halo they used to have around the puck in NHL games?
It's still on strike.

Or FOX. They moved Battlestar Galactica and X-Files from Fridays to Sundays, because they knew they'd get more eyeballs.
I hated it when X-Files was on Friday, I was never home to watch it.
1 person watching youtube videos could probably outdo 25 people surfing around for school.
Mom: Tommy, go do your homework!
Tommy: Okay Mom!
Tommy then sits down on the computer and watches Youtube.

They can ask for it, they just can't refuse the transaction if you won't give it.
So don't give it out.
