Hell I hate the guy and I don't think he's a moron. I mean you have to be pretty smart to come up with some of the stuff he does where everything he says is correct yet the overall picture is paints is just false.(Go ahead, read his section in "The Truth" on Eric Shinseki but first read up what actually happened on factcheck.org. He doesn't write anything that isn't true but you can see how he gets people to jump to the wrong answer, it's masterful dishonesty.) I've even started calling what he does as "Telling a Franken."
Is make notes in the margins. I found my understanding went up drastically when I did that and put down my understanding of what the author was trying to get at in the margin. (Often this amounted to "I bet he's going for concept X that was in chapter 4." and at the end of the paragraph put down if I was correct or not.)
Unfortunately that sign on their car door "To serve and protect", they serve and protect the state. Getting back your iPhone does little to serve and protect the state.
I took a class to help me with the MCAT. In the class they gave a bunch of examples of good "writing" for the essay portion. To me it seemed as though the real trick was just mention Martin Luther King or Gandhi as your counter example and you were pretty much guaranteed at least a 4 but you'd probably get a 5 or 6 even if you didn't follow the 3 requirements. (Supposedly if you didn't do the 3 requirements the most you should have been able to get was a 2. A 3 was supposed to be almost automatic if you did the requirements and 4 was good.) Suffice it to say in theory that scoring is what should have happened, in practice pretty much do that and get a good grade even if you didn't do the requirements.
I mean isn't there a saying in the physics world "if you haven't made a big discovery by the age of 30 you never will." I think there's been a lot of research that basically says people peak in their mid to late 20's on most things.
Since there's people both on the left and right that are against vaccination.(RFK jr is an example of one on the left and there's various religious groups that oppose vaccination.)
Right after people learn to break up their code into actual functions instead of the standard multi-thousand line long garbage. Oh and of course give everything meaningful names. Can't forget to tell people to actually check their warnings ETC. (I'm sure everyone here that's a programmer/SE/developer can easily expand on all the crazy shit they've seen people do which would come way before this.)
The post essentially points in the direction of the various failed 4GL attempts of yore. Programming in complex symbolism to make things "easy" is essentially giving visual basic to someone without the knowledge enough to avoid O(n^2) algorithms.
What worse about this is that person will probably be the first one to say their code runs in linear time and then say to get people a faster machine if the speed bothers them. (I say that from experience.)
Make sure they don't have a fucking crazy teacher who terrorizes them all day.(I had one that actually hated, I'm not making this up, smart kids. I only realized this years afterwards when I noticed my friends, who were the smart kids in that class, would individual say that she hated them. She hated me too and she hates every single one of the smart kids. Wait a minute, she didn't hate me, she just hates smart kids. She's a fucking kook.) If I ever have kids I'm definitely keeping my eye on them so that does not happen. (Guess I should be glad I didn't have the teacher who would regularly attack the 4th graders in her class. She only got fired because she attacked one of the good kids and didn't realize the superintendent was watching her through the window on the door. Kind of hard to explain that one when you do it right in front of him.)
Gah, yes you're right. Not all protestants are biblical literalists. What I was getting at is at least here in the US the creationist movement is pretty much Protestant. (Although admittedly you can find the occasional Roman Catholic that's one. The priest at my church when I was growing was one.) Yes, I meant the RCC as a religion tend to be control freaks.(You know, they did execute William Tyndale for translating the bible.) Anyway can't say I disagree with you on the RNC either though.(Then again I think pretty much the same of the DNC but then again I don't like politicians much.)
No, the issue was the only one of the pieces of evidence Galileo provided that absolutely required heliocentrism(IE a moving earth) was his explanation of the tides. (You can have the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus with either the Tychonic or Copernican models. BTW those 2 are mathematically equivalent.) Basically he said the tides were caused because the earth moves around the sun and that causes the water to slosh around. The problem was that the model he gave ends up not matching reality.(Like I wrote it basically gets every observable fact about tides wrong except there are tides. This was apparently noticed at the time.) This is kind of odd given that Galileo is pretty much presented as the guy that "followed what the evidence told him" and "the father of science" stuff.(Since given the evidence at the time you literally couldn't determine which one was right, Tychonic or Copernican.) Of course once you have Newtonian mechanics and optics you have no hope of keeping Tychonic. Then again most of the stories you hear in school about Galileo don't mention the whole "G and the pope were old college buddies" or that he was basically playing politics in the late 14 early 15 hundreds. Of course the REALLY stupid thing about this portrayal is the Church has never been biblical literalists. That's the protestans.(How people get that confused is beyond me.) The RNC are control freaks, as long as they give you the thumbs up everything is ok. Do it one second before that and you have a problem.(Don't eat fish on Friday, time for mass, father says sit, father says kneel, father says stand.)
Since the big proof that Galileo had that the Earth moved was his theory of the tides. Unfortunately it predicts there's one tide a day, it's at the same time every day, and it's the same height.(IE It gets pretty much every observable fact about tides wrong.)
Will for some reason think the new hot thing is totally different than what's come before. (Oh no, we're looking for someone with more experience in C#/Java and not over a decades worth of experience. Of course we don't understand that those languages were expressly designed so C++ developers can easily move over to them and the fact you get inheritance, polymorphism, and templates don't count because you only know the C++ version.)
So my cousin got Comcast internet at the business he owns. To do that Comcast wireless stuff they basically brought some piece of hardware that was separate from the cable modem and router for his business and stuck it in a closet near where the cable wire first came in the building. I'm guessing for homes they're going to do the same thing, have that extra box in your house somewhere but your cable connection wouldn't use it. (Admittedly the thing does use some of my cousin's electricity to run so it's not free for him.)
Last I checked the way kinect works is it basically shines an infrared light that you can't see but the cameras can. It uses this light to illuminate things. BTW, your cell phone's camera can also see in infrared. (As can the sensor on the Wii.)
Besides how much the car costs how much does it cost to get your electrical installation in your house upgraded to support charging the car? (My house was built in the 50s and it can barely handle the load of a modern house. I'm thinking I'd need to upgrade it if I want to have a tesla. I know I have to upgrade it if I wanted to add central air.)
Since in college I was hopeless in my foreign language class when listening/speaking were stressed. (And failed those classes multiple times.) When all I had to do was read it(at the same 4th semester level) I passed it the first time and I wasn't even close to failing. (Yes, I realize this is an anecdote but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a difference between reading and listening.)
I don't know if this is just a north east thing but we used to make pizzas by taking half an English muffin and putting sauce, cheese and toppings on it and then put it in a oven. That was a quick, easy, and tasty.

First I hear they can write Shakespeare and now math? They're more teachable than the average high school student

Or will they bring that back as well?

You know, for giving them attention with that "debate" earlier this year. But let's be honest, they're going to do this shit no matter what.

I mean it would be really scary if you felt like you were right in the middle of a bunch of college kids who are about to be murdered.
