There is also a good reason not to have cell phones and 3G-enabled devices on, though. At high enough altitudes, your uninterrupted signal can connect to multiple towers, thus hogging up many more than you would on the ground.
It's even valuable to get a degree not entirely related to what you want to do. If this guy feels that college stifles innovation, why not encourage people to get degrees in things they enjoy? Get a degree in history, and focus on businesses of the past. Now, you're an expert in what works and what doesn't, over long-term, history-writing years. Get a degree in a foreign language, and open up more countries you can work with effectively. Get a degree in anything, and learn to think!
I know I do, and I regret that. I hate that we buy our electronics made at factories like these. They're only made there because you can cut any corner you want in China, including actually paying your workers, and still sell in America. Why have we not told China to man up and get some human rights? We made the mistake of waiting to be well established before getting rid of slavery and underpaid immigrant workers (mostly, we're still working on that). If China could actually do the human rights thing now instead of later, maybe I'd have more respect for them.
This makes no sense in today's world. It's not like it would be difficult for them to manage this, especially now that to get any cable provider at all you have to install a big, unsightly box in your entertainment system.
The sad thing is the executives who made the decision to put those things on the channel didn't care about whether they were related to the station's usual lineup or not. No other channel wanted wrestling, but they had to stick it somewhere because the ads for it still have some value. So they screwed over their smallest customer group in favor of the second smallest.
SyFy is the new name for an American television network originally named Sci-Fi Channel. It was originally a science-fiction oriented channel, but lately has added things like wrestling, ghost/myth "hunting" shows, reality shows, and other things that don't fit in its normal category. It is known for absolutely terrible B-movies, some of which are named after or parodies of (perhaps not intentionally) current Hollywood movies. Caprica is a series spin-off of Battlestar Galactica, a popular Sci-Fi show that ended a couple years ago. SG:U and Atlantis are spin-offs of the original Stargate: SG-1 series, another popular show. And for "cable network," I assume you're kidding. Google anything else you didn't understand.
I know this and I choose to do this. The difference here is that I hit the accept button. Julian Assange needs to stop trying to tell me what I should and should not do.

But I don't think that was written into the law, nor the arguments used to support it. Those arguments were all "Smoking is terrible, so we're making this decision for you."
Honestly, if you're angry because RIM, or Google, or Microsoft, or whoever isn't trying to stick it to every dictatorship, you're an idiot. If the US government goes and tries to say a dictator is being too mean (perhaps by killing them), they're the terrible World Police. But if RIM refuses to do the same thing, you get angry. You're an angry, fickle group of people.
Mod down if you disagree.
Just some more info to aid metlin, "liberal arts" comes from Latin "artes liberales," literally the "freeing arts." Up until very recently, these included science. The modern definition (at least in the USA) of liberal arts is art, music, literature, language, social sciences, and history. That's a horribly lacking bunch. I spent almost two years as an engineering major before switching to a "liberal arts" degree and I feel I am only just barely well-rounded because of my strengths in math and science.
Learning Latin and Greek open up an entire world and culture to a student. When they are taught outside of the terrible rigor and memorization we always hear about or see from Hollywood, they are terrible. But when instead they are shown to be gateways to the rise and fall of whole civilizations, well, it gives a student perspective. Another way to think about it is like this: few subjects have what my teacher-education classes call "enduring understandings." These are supposed to be more than facts, but knowledge that stays with a student throughout their life. There are so many of these with subjects like classical languages that they permanently affect a student's life. Yes, many of the elite would educate their children in Latin and Greek, and the knowledge or lack of knowledge on these subjects was probably used unfairly to judge applicants. But the languages were studied because there was value in them, and to this day there still is.
As a future high school Latin teacher, I really hope Latin isn't so weird a subject for high school. The Junior Classical League is the second largest student-led organization in the USA!
This isn't real Latin. It's called Lorem Ipsum (the first two words) and it's a gibberish version of some stuff by Caesar. It's used in web development because it looks like English (same letter distribution and word length), but you can't actually read it.
What's different about NOW is that smartphones have driven small, efficient computer parts. Tablets can now be made more cheaply and function better than they could in the late 90s.
A clean slate for academics... hmm. And maybe we could collect all of the academic-written articles into a book format to sell to raise money for Wikipedia? And since it'd be a lot of information, we could divide it into volumes! And we'd need to name them after Wikipedia, but more book-like. Encyclopedia, maybe?
You really need to read more academic (probably focus on literature) rules on plagiarism. They're pretty strict, and if you can't show your original thought, and what you wrote is the same as what someone else wrote, it's plagiarism. Journalism has a nice little habit of avoiding academic rules, though, because they actually get paid and can use that money for lawyers.

Old enough to know that the powers that be in the world could, if they wanted, actually accomplish that.

Looks like all he's done is use his old Apple connections to "start up" several companies that all later closed.

Just like writing about Shakespeare and including metaphors interpreted by someone else isn't plagiarism, right?
