Will he actually surrender control over the company's direction, or play puppetmaster instead? I'd like Apple to use their resources to make laptops and desktops the way they've made iPhones. Focus on encouraging manufacturers to make better, more efficient, cheaper products (or buy them outright). Get rid of the ridiculous prices around right now. Then, maybe, just maybe, I could consider buying a Mac. But then again, more factories like Foxconn wouldn't exactly be great.
TFA did not say Rick Perry went to a quack. TFA said that there is a fear that people will think stem cells are magic cures and will seek out quacks who claim to heal them, all because they "heard Rick Perry did it."
The argument here can't be boiled down to "This is or is not a person." The real argument is whether it is in your personal values to consider a fetus at whichever point to be close enough to be considered worth saving. The arguments over whether it is a woman's right to choose, whether the process is humane, etc. are all secondary to that main point. And the answer here is that every person's response is somewhat unique. The difficulty arises when this spectrum of personal values is polarized to a single yes or no question: should abortions be allowed to happen? Almost everyone's (real) answer, is "Yes, but...". Some are "Yes, but only in extreme cases." or "Yes, but only very early." or "Yes, but only with after a serious discussion with a therapist and a doctor." Even those who support abortion at points considered to be very late in the usual arguments (third trimester, for example) would probably say that aborting two weeks before the expected due date would be wrong, or at least a poor choice. So rather than saying that anyone who is against abortion is a "republican who [doesn't] understand or believe in science," understand that there is really no right answer to this question. Human gestation is not a simple process, but it is definitely connected to our personal beliefs and values about life and humanity. Disregarding that connection will only alienate you.
No, when a child at that age has sexual abuse causing them to become reactive, one year makes it so they can sleep through the night. Two years and the worst of the behavior can be suppressed. Three years and they start to return to normal, but require pretty constant therapy still. That's assuming all of the therapy is working. Often, that's not the case.
That was a really harsh response. You could have said, "I try to live with three months of expenses saved away." Instead, you said "I'm better than you because I don't live paycheck to paycheck."
You can actually run a digital copy of any game off the memory stick on the PSP, or at least you could back when I played mine. Assuming that the premise of having digital copies of games you physically own being legal is still true, I assume many people will have a legitimate way to transfer all of their games.
The raw RAM number hardly matters as much as how it is applied in a phone. If Android has been filled with bloatware requiring you to root the phone to get rid of it, then a gig of RAM won't do much good. If it's efficient, half that can run games quite well. Also, look at the actual RAM of some gaming systems and you'll be surprised at how little it takes.
Wait a minute. A court opens the door to religion-bashing teachers telling their students how stupid they are for believing in God, and you're worried that the religious people of the country will just get worse? Wow, what a warped perspective.
Nevermind the engineers who figure out what kind of craft is needed to complete the mission, how it will complete the mission, and what to do when it goes wrong. Boeing, et al. handled all of that, right.
No, one of the worst things about a Ponzi scheme is being someone not screwed over by it, yet not knowing it's a scam. Are you supposed to give the money back? What happens if someone finds out you didn't lose everything? They'll be very angry with you, because usually that first line of early-adopters are the people attacked, not the folks who started it.
Except the funny part has nothing to do with why he was mad. These things suck, yes, but getting a temper about it and damaging the lines is terrible to both sides. The joke is that he almost got away with it until he opened his mouth. I understand that you're bitter, but if you fight it civilly, then your situation is nothing like the man in #10.
Some people tried this about 2000 years ago, and everyone hated it. I'm referring to Rome. No vehicles were allowed in the city during the day, so all of the stores would get their goods at night. Which of course kept everyone awake and meant that half the city had to be nocturnal to get everything to the stores.
Sony apologized publicly. For a Japanese company, that's pretty serious. I know we here take an apology to mean crap, but that wasn't some PR spin. That was legit guilt.
You are exactly right, and teacher training programs are catching up to that idea quickly. Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory is a step in the right direction, but it doesn't exactly address why some students do well with things like Khan and other don't. A new model is needed!
I wish you were right, that parents were the sole variable in a student's success. But parental involvement is only a piece of the puzzle. Teacher training and effectiveness, school funding, and a lot of other factors also come into play.
When is ANY difficult answer like this able to be addressed in one or two words? Yes, teachers' unions are often roadblocks in reform, but without them, teachers would be downtrodden and unwilling to enter the profession. Yet uninvolved parents can stop a good teacher from showing what he or she is capable of. But I know some people who would say that a really good teacher can manage around parents who don't care or even actively work against the education. We do know that "throwing money at it" doesn't work. Money has to be specifically targeted, and it must have a plan that all parties are willing to follow, even if they don't all agree. "A bad plan followed well is better than a good plan followed poorly."
We really do have a limit of how much invasion we can take before we don't care anymore. It's nice to think that security at any cost is what we want, but in practice we despise it. Look at other countries with more secure airports, they don't do body scanners at all.

A constitutional right? I know many states give workers the rights to do that, but where does the Constitution fit into this?

Don't know why you were downvoted. Your tone was awful but your point was very accurate. Music is overpriced and has been for a while.
When it started, paying 99 cents for a song was great. Now, it's extortion. People need to realize this.

I before E except after C... except in words derived from the Latin word "capio." It's complicated.

Not legitimately. There is no conversion from in-game money or game-time tokens to real cash.

What exactly did he not get? Forklifts don't work; trucks do.

Nor would we ever use an apostrophe to pluralize "Americans." Well, many would, but I don't.

"users is" I'll let you guys figure it out for yourselves.
