Yeah I'm trying to see the point and I can't either.
The idea of a "virtual world" is pointless for business.
IMO a slick chat program would be more useful, something that could connect people for teleconferencing, with the same functionality but no "virtual world."
I don't think we have to choose. There's no reason kids can't do a lab and then use excel to make a graph of their findings and then submit it online.
I hope that the science education lab will never go out of style. There's no question that actually doing something is the best way to learn it, hopefully the people choosing the curiculum for kids keep that in mind.
That's a great idea. Right now the second hit for me is some random petition I signed, why not sign alot of petitions that give humanitarian aid or such, that store names in text on pages.
A built-in payment mechanism? Like a coin slot? And then a strange sweaty man comes by every week to empty your laptop?
But seriously I do see what your saying. I just purchased a new cell phone and the whole purpose of it is to get people to spend money on media on their phone. Hopefully computers will not go this route. I'm optimistic that computers will avoid it because there are more open-sourse applications on computers as opposed to phones.
In TFA it says they "clear the board" after each round of chess. Does that mean the game ends, or is it like your saying, the game is preserved and picked up later?
That wouldn't work because a guitar actually produces sound by buckling. When playing different guitars, one can examine the bending patterns in the wood that are unique to a style of guitar. This isn't something obvious to the eye but is a key thing when considering musical notes in instruments. So if an instument won't bend, it really won't play sound!
I agree with some of these points, but not all. The purpose of language is to express a point. Using the correct form of irony is important because if you mistakenly use the idea of irony you don't express a correct point. But some of these are just pointless. Oh no, the meaning or pronouniciation of a word has changed. Don't look now, but we're not speaking ye olde english anymore.
"as well as whether they had personalized them in any way."
It sounds like the questions were phrased to account for people making personalizations themselves and not having the personalizations done previously.
I don't know about your scout troop, but I certainly never had any ideas put into my head about homosexuality in Boy Scouts. It's not like homophobia is one of the Scout Laws. The "no-gay" rule was never strictly enforced and I really never heard it mentioned officially. Yes the Boy Scout's stance is wrong, but that (At least in my experience) never trickled down into the boy scout's heads. Come to think of it, there were a few scouts back in my troop that I have to wonder now if they were gay. I would argue that even though the stance of Boy Scouts is wrong, it still doesn't perpetuate homophobia. Also you seem to task boy scouts with the task of getting rid of homophobia in society. It certainly would be noble, but I believe it is not a required moral action, simply an admissable moral action. You're asking the organization to go out of it's way to fix society. That's like demanding someone to give to charity. It would be nice for them to give to charity, but not required.
By creationist I guess I meant "people who deny evolution," not "people who believe God created the universe." What would be a more accurate term for the former?
Well I guess I don't have too much to say to you if you don't think that Boy Scouts is a worthwhile program. My life was very affected by Boy Scouts and has helping me a lot. I like to think I'm open-minded but I have to sympathize with the Boy Scout organization in their stance.
You're right in that a gay boy and a straight boy should be able to sleep in the same tent. But you have to understand that that is a difficult position for the Boy Scouts to take, even though it is the right one. I believe that the root of the problem is society. Ask any man on the street if he's okay with his son sleeping in a tent with a gay boy, and regardless of how liberal or open-minded he is, it will be difficult for him to give a straight-forward answer no matter if he says yes or no. So before you go attacking boy scouts, maybe you should step back and look at the American social climate that Boy Scouts lives in.
It's news for me. I'm a WOW player but my account has been frozen because I'm too busy to play. I like to keep up with the in-game happenings even though I don't play.
But the tool (google) makes us think in a certain way. It's not the end result of using the tool, it's the process of using the tool. You're not making an adequate comparison.

I agree, way to overblow the house simply wanting media coming from representatives to be standardized. I can't believe how much BS this is.

But six results down you're a republican canidate for state representative. Take the bad with the good!

Just make sure you stick to your original story. "Someone stole your picture."

Like anything at radio shack costs 1.50. A simple cable always seems to run me like 7.50

Well I say that already
But it will be weird when they start taking it as a compliment

I'm all for it. This college student wouldn't mind more than an average of three girls in his computer science classes.

I can't wait to see the rest of China's dirty laundry that will be exposed as the Olymics start

Actually I don't have a witty comment. I am going to try to get all of these achievements.

Totally worth it IMO
