This is like car manufacturers taping up all of the air intakes and door seams when they do the fuel economy runs. Everybody knows the numbers are cooked. Nobody expects your 3L V8 to actually get 30mpg, ever.
I can't see them being locked out of Facebook being the reason. Facebook would be blocked at the proxy, as would all of the interesting parts of the WWW, and any file-sharing protocol or chat app.
I suspect that the kids just wanted Angry Birds so they could dick about instead of doing work, they weren't allowed, so they fuck up the devices at any opportunity because they're petulant and spoiled little brats, just like all kids. What really needs to happen is teachers, and their lessons, need to be engaging and interesting, and for that you need good teachers. For good teachers, you need good teaching wages. Fundamentally, they should have scrapped this program and given teachers a 20% pay rise across the board instead.
Your argument is specious. You sold your bike for the price you asked, the buyer got a bike for a price that he was prepared to pay. Nobody lost anything. The HFT paid for the premium access to the site, so the site operator gained. He was almost certainly not offered a guarantee of profitability on that investment. The risk, however, paid off when the HFT found a seller, a buyer, put the two together, and made commission. You, as a seller, certainly did gain as you were introduced to a buyer promptly.
I understand that HFT and stock trading in general is more complicated than this, but your analogy isn't the right way to show the faults.
I would like to see your verifiable, repeatable, peer reviewed evidence that the supernatural is imaginary.
You don't have any? You only have evidence that supports other explanations in the majority of circumstances? Well then, I'll chose to base my world view on empirical evidence, but not exclude other theories out of hand.
Up until April this year Stephen Hawking was quoted to have said that there was still room for God in the creation of the universe ("Is the unified theory so compelling that it brings about its own existence?" - A Brief History of Time).
I'm atheistic because the evidence points to a non-theological universe. However, I'm not going to dismiss theological or supernatural explanations for still unexplained phenomena until there is irrefutable evidence to the contrary. To do otherwise is just as ignorant as those who dismiss science.

You're either following too closely, or driving without due care and attention. If the guy in front is stationary and not paying attention, you are still expected to take any action necessary to avoid an accident; You can't be a cock and nudge him out of the way.
I have to type "c:\windows\AudioFix\devcon restart "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E20&SUBSYS_FB311179&REV_04"" into a CLI every time I boot because the shitty Windows xp driver for my new laptop fails to start the sound card properly at boot.
Of course I automate that with a log on script, but then again so could you. Just offering an anecdotal rebuttal.
Outsourced IT should be an IRC channel. Ask a question, get a private message from a "mod" and chat about the issue.
It's text only so mobile data costs will be tiny, no accept problem, and if it's from a phone you can literally photograph the problem and send it DCC to the tech.
Not at all. Consoles have always been second-place to PC gamers in FPS because you can't get mixture of speed and precision you get with a mouse on a gamepad. It's the only reason why there is no console + PC online play in CoD, BF etc. Auto-aim for consoles is too much of a bonus against crappy PC players, and not good enough against good PC players.
Of course Linux sales have been poor; The big AAA game titles are still Windows / Console. It's Catch 22, same as always; Not enough AAA Linux games to drive people to the platform, so no market for AAA Linux games to be developed. Steam are hoping to change that by putting their titles on Linux, which is a major step in the right direction.
Anyway, Carmack's opinion is moot. id have released Doom, Quake, Quake II, Quake III Arena, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Doom 3, Quake 4, and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on Linux. Thanks, but we already bought those games when they were released on Windows, or when they were on sale two years ago. Release something new and come back to us.

Right down to the large, dark area full of links none of your readers looks at.
Let me close all of those sections to the right hand side and have the content resize to make use of the space and I'll be impressed.
Wow, what an awful sentence.
If you default on your international debt, the world economy will treat you just like "Venezuela", "Uganda", or "Myanmar."
If you default on your international debt, there won't be any difference to the world economy.

If you're in the UK, your census data is already processed by Boeing in... Yup, the US.

Yes, but the extra features like a corkscrew, bottle opener, magnifying glass etc can all be removed by Sony at any time.

I was actually being serious. I've no idea what Yelp is, and have only ever heard of it from the flaming they receive (maybe rightly) on this site.
Still, excellent witty retort there. Be sure to high-five your buddies on your way back in from recess.
I've never used their services. Are they somehow relevant somewhere?
Not one comment voted 3+ has spotted the potentially hideous ramifications of this.
All new PC games will be console ports, because you'll be playing them on your TV screen over the SteamOS streaming feature. That means console UIs.
I hope to fuck they include a toggle for a PC monitor UI.

With an SSD my gaming PC boots from S5 to in-game in less than a minute. Windows 7 or Mint Linux.
My Sky Box boots slower.

Holy crap, I'm patenting this.
It's the old adage; "Spend money on the things between you and the floor: Your bed, your shoes, and your tyres."
YBox.

PC gamers who want to play GTA V already have a PC to game on. Why would they want a console?
I can get a better console experience (graphically) on my PC with a $20 USB joypad.
Nuh uh, 50%. 1 is half of 2, dumbass! Don't you even tabloid stats?!
Best choice I made was buying a Nexus 4 and rooting it. Awesome phone, low cost, no carrier contract, no Google tie-in.
Distinctly less, I would say. I haven't got the first clue regarding Win8, and I've been supporting Windows networks for a decade.
I could probably find what I needed, but it would be a lot of clumsy and aimless clicking until I did.

I don't care if you vote for the fucking Nazis just get the current Reich out of office asap.
You'll regret that opinion if the Nazis get into power.
