your point about how men contribute to female insecurity over looks also applies to the self-censorship of men regarding things that don't conform to "traditional notions of gender" - since probably the biggest reason why men try to conform to those notions is because they feel not doing so will hurt their chances at getting laid.
you mean e-ink? if so, then my guess would be that such a thing doesn't exist yet mostly because the technology is still pretty new, and available through only a few (young) manufacturers, who don't have the necessary weight behind them to release a wide variety of products.
I agree completely. Having been educated in a post-soviet country until I came to the US for college, I remember fondly the days when I had textbooks that gave me pure, concentrated fact. The textbooks I have to use now, apart from being bloated, also seem to have been written with the intent of teaching a certain model of interpreting and reasoning about the facts. While it's understandable why authors feel the need to do this, I think a much better approach is to allow the students to develop this intuition themselves through a series of increasingly complex problems.
I say this especially because I've noticed that while solving problems in many different subjects, I find myself spending a large amount of time looking through hundreds of pages of mostly useless text just to find one key piece of theory that I need to solve the problem. This seems very wasteful to me...
that's the thing about telcos, they charge you not based on how much they need to charge you + profit margin (which is what most businesses do). instead, they just charge you however much they think they can get away with.
I just came a little while reading that letter. Some of the questions are worded in such a deliciously "we're going to screw you to the wall" manner... I'm starting to like the FCC more and more.
actually this is a good point. the tighter social networks become (and definitely advanced mobile devices help this process - what with everyone checking FB on their iphones, and all), the less time and need people have to listen to that tiny voice in their head called their brain. it's a signal to noise ratio issue, if you consider a person's own mind the signal, and everything from the outside noise. 200 years ago the average person probably had to make a 3-day horseback trip just to find noise, but today there are 10kW speakers jammed in our ears pumping the mental equivalent of thrash metal.
actually i don't think that will happen until there's a large-scale move towards digital [text-]books, which can't happen without dirt-cheap e-ink based reading/writing devices. but when all that happens, i am NEVER handling paper again! YEEE-HAW!!!
Wrong. Life and energy didn't spring from the absence of life and energy, because "life" is merely an abstract concept, and the amount of energy in a closed system is, by definition, constant. (and yes, I'm assuming the universe is a closed system).
It's so freaking cool that there's going to be something man-made that will reach temperatures similar to the core of the sun. It's just... too cool. Hold on to your hat, god, 'cause here we come!
Ok, now back to mind-numbingly boring and disappointing reality...
This is a pretty funny "issue", one of those things that I don't think they ever even thought of before it came up... I actually recently lost a brother, and I'd been wondering what was going to happen to his page.

well yeah, that's exactly the point. the question is why competition doesn't seem to work so well in this case.

I think the standard way for evaluating the feedback is the "are you touching yourself" test.

god dammit, this is not off topic, this is exactly what GP is referencing!
hell yeah!

if you ask me, a tacky name like "video professor" is more than enough evidence of a scam.
you forgot to include a comment comparing apple to MS or any other apple competitor, that's why.

are 6000 year old patents submitted by divine beings still valid? if so, NASA's got a galactic lawsuit on its hands...
