"[Each] day finds some six million high school students and two million college freshmen struggling with algebra. [...] Why do we subject American students to this ordeal? I’ve found myself moving toward the strong view that we shouldn’t." "Making mathematics mandatory prevents us from discovering and developing young talent."
Carnegie Mellon University, same thing.
You really want to give computer geeks computers? Some programming exams are also given on apples booted into a special exam mode, but almost all have at least some written portion.
Nah, tweels are brilliant. you get more surface area (like a pneumatic tire if you have a stiff tweel, or more like a track with more flexible ones), but with the single point of rotation and simple mechanism of a wheel. yes, stuff gets in them, just like a regular wheel on a car, but it falls out nicely and doesn't weigh too much. expect to see more of them soon. also, scarab has regular wheels as well - they also went to hawaii.
(and yes, ive seen the tweels up close, in person, on scarab)
