Cursive is not faster to produce than printing, unless you're talking about one copy. Even the first presses were faster for a given volume... That's why they became popular.
Shorthand is faster than cursive and block text, and would make note taking much easier in classes. Shame they don't teach that in school.

The Middle East is not your playground. You are not the world's moral compass. We do not see you as something to aspire too, but simply another way of doing things. You're doing such a bang up job in Iraq and Afghanistan; Please, beseech your leader to enforce the indomitable will and unwavering ideology of Western Society on another Middle Eastern territory. They're completely ready to move away from the current political system they have, and won't descend into exactly the same situation in no time at all as the people are still living in a society where religion and law are still very closely knitted together.
It took Yeomanry and the Renaissance in Europe to get us out of a heavily feudal system, with separation of church and state. Leave them to it and they will get there.
I'm not sure what you got up to at that frat party, but if it's so objectionable that you would be refused employment based upon the content of the pictures, perhaps:
- You shouldn't have posted the pictures on the internet - You shouldn't have taken pictures, - You shouldn't have been involved in whatever the situation was in the first place.
Seems like completely bad judgement on your part, IMHO.
FWIW, I've seen the pictures of my employer completely wasted at the Christmas party. I took them, and we had a good laugh afterwards. Parties are where people relax and enjoy themselves, and have nothing at all to do with your work ethic. Any decent employer will know that.
Use of CC is only for when you want your recipient to know that others have received the same information; A scheduled meeting, a memo, a complaint regarding employee conduct to their management etc.
That kind of thing isn't sent outside of the organisation anyway.
Create an embarassing or humorous photo out of several employees on Facebook, ones which you will see in the meeting. Leave enough so they know where the image came from, but make the composit odd enough (even use your own face for extra brownie points) to leave a lasting memory for everyone without identifying people easily. The people who see their own photos will either laugh or be uncomfortable, but the point is made.
Raid when used for protecting your computer will not protect your data it just makes your system able to tolerate hard drive failure.
... Which will protect my data when a drive fails.
RAID-5 means that I can have 3x500GB drives with 1GB of space, and not have the same worry (total loss of data) that I would if a 1x1TB drive failed.
We know it doesn't replace backup. We know it doesn't protect against theft, fire, malicious data destruction etc etc. You do realise who you're talking to, don't you? This is an IT article on Slashdot. Telling people on this thread that RAID isn't a replacement for regular backups is like telling a mechanic that a stick of celery is not a suitable replacement for a piston.

Why not keep everything how it is, and stop caring about how much purple everyone wears?
I've been in instances with L80 full-purple DPS spec shamans who did lower dps than me, a 79 full-blue DK. By your reckoning, that shouldn't happen. But it does.
Your shiny-shiny does not make you a good player. Purple items are no longer a measure of achievement.
You spend months getting very powerful, and then suddenly people get just as powerful in only a few days. While you ruled PvP situations, and it took parties of 5 to kill you, now all of a sudden it only takes 1 or 2 people to kill you. This can ruin your fun if you PvP a lot
Then you're playing the wrong game.
This isn't Die Hard. You are not invincible. One on one fights should be close, and one person should not be allowed to dominate. How do you think the 3 people you deck feel who have come over thinking they have as fair a chance as anyone else at getting somewhere? More to the point, what the hell does it matter if you win or not? You already have the elite gear, be it PvP or raid. You don't need the Marks to get the purples.
Sweet jesus, play the game for enjoyment. Find another "Benchmark for Awesome"; It's obvious that gear isn't it any more.
That's what achievements are for. Play PvP for a fun battle, which you could win or lose. Surely charging in, knowing you'll win, is only fun for a short time.
- Without the gear, you cannot raid. - Without raiding, you cannot get the gear.
How am I supposed to enjoy end-game content when I can't get into a group because my DPS is around 1k too low for these "elite" groups? I constantly see raids occurring with calls for "3000+dps" which is just unachievable without raid / heroic gear, and you can't get that without a significant time commitment that is just unachievable if you have any physical social interaction in evenings / weekends at all.
So you're saying that they put 10,000 tonnes of plastic in, use a "magical process" which involves vacuums, infra-red radiation, and a presumably pixie dust, extract enough fuel oil to run the station, and still have some left to sell?
You're telling me that they get more energy out of the oil produced than it costs (in energy) to convert the plastics to oil?
I'm not entirely sure which part of "science" it is, but there's something I remember about "conservation of energy" or some such which means that you can't get something for nothing, which is essentially what this is. Unless the reactions to create plastic are really low energy, and therefore easily reversed, I don't see this working.

Unless they're on some anti-depressants. A side effect if administered to a person on Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors.

MS didn't get sued over their primary product.
Blizzard will either roll over for cost's sake, or if suitably threatened, keep this issue in court so long the trolls go bankrupt.

I wish he'd choose his metaphors more carefully.
Oh you're fucking kidding me... SchrÃfdinger's?
I pasted the o with umlaut from a previous comment! How is that not formatted correctly?!
Edit: Pasting the A with a tilde seems to add an f after the letter. Seriously, fix that.
The great thing about performing a test an odd number of times is there is always one final result which offers a majority.
Unfortunately, SchrÃdinger's cat is the best illustration of how that doesn't apply.

Completely agree.
My biggest issue is:
- Without the gear, you cannot raid.
- Without raiding, you cannot get the gear.

Any TFA-readers comment?
All the more reason to watch the outcome closely.
