  2. plagiarism? on Canada Considering A Three Strikes And You're Off The Internet Policy? · · Score: 1

    Following this line of thinking, would it not be reasonable to deny someone the right to read books or go to the library if they perform 3 acts of plagiarism...

  3. Re:The Art of Electronics on Books On Electronics For the Lay Programmer? · · Score: 1

    I also, am a former US Navy Electronics Tech and I found the NEETS modules to be very informative and they also have an Unlimited Distribution Policy. There is a lot of information included and the books are ordered by what is necessary to learn in order to progress to the next. There are a total of 24 modules/books that start with an intro to matter and energy and cover solid state, power supplies, simple circuits, amplifiers, wiring, schematic reading, wave generation, microwave principles, radars, communication, test equipment, RF comms, magnetic recording, fiber optics, digital computers and more...

    You forgot about "Combat" as far as I know it's the first multi or mini games found on 1 cartridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_(video_game)

  5. Re:One *little* thing on The Military Plans To Regrow Body Parts · · Score: 1

    I agree 100% with parent. I served in the Navy from 2000-2004 and from my experience the doctors and dentists that graduated with "C" averages migrate to government and military work as the pay for them is higher then regular officers in order to "compensate" for the money "lost" to them for not working in the civilian sector, notwithstanding that they are doctors/dentists that got poor grades, therefore, would have difficulty making the higher wages that doctors in private practice would make as they would not be able to stay out of libel court or maintaining their position at a hospital or clinic. Whereas military doctors have a captive constant source of work that cannot sue them personally for libel or malpractice. Beside the perk of being able to defer a lot of the work to Hospital Corpsmen who have a lot more power to prescribe drugs and perform procedures that would normally not be given to EMTs, nurses and care technicians in the civilian sector without having to consult with an actual doctor or doctor of pharmacy. http://www.usmilitary.com/2008MilitaryPayChart.pdf Page 9 of 9 has the medical compensation. Note that this does not include yearly bonuses and re-contracting bonuses they get that can be exceptionally high. I do appreciate their contribution to this country but they are by far not the "Best and Brightest" or else they would be in private practice.

    Not 100% sure. But, I believe that what we call duct tape was originally designed to be underwater tape.
