Basically, as I posted above (though I didn't say it explicitly), whenever Farnsworth says "Good news everybody!" it means something bad is about to happen.
Basically, the point of higher-level math is what can be done without a calculator. A basic example is binomial probability. Say someone rolls six dice. A computer could be used easily to find the probability that exactly three dice are 5's by counting how many outcomes there are (46656), and how many outcomes have exactly three 5's (2500). What math does is to create an equation (n C r) p^r q^(n-r) and prove it works for any values of n, r, p and q. In the example, n = 6, r = 3, p = 1/6, q = 5/6, and P = 625/11664. (Thank you, Maple)
Sure, when one has spent enough time working with numbers, they'll have an intuition as to whether an answer makes sense. But not too many can add a 7.25% sales tax to a $64.38 purchase in their head.
Kyle: Wow! That's a lot of seamen, Cartman. Cartman: Yeah, I bought all that I could at this bank, and then I got the rest from this guy Ralph in an alley. Stan: That's cool. Cartman: Yeah, and the sweet thing is, the stupid asshole didn't even charge me money for it. He just made me close my eyes and suck on a hose.
Not quite masturbation, but I would definitely comply if there were free blowjobs involved.
I'm a bit of a cynic, but it seems to me that Google wanted to leave China after they were hacked, and made an unreasonable (in context) offer to China in order to make the Chinese look like the "bad guys" and Google look like the "good guys."
My first computer with GUI was Windows 3.1, but that was our second computer. I can't quite remember what the first one was, but I do remember having a 5.25" floppy with games, one of which where there were two basketballs trying to throw each other into the net. It also had battleship and some terrible baseball game.
Let's assume he's right (which I will not pass judgment on). What does that imply?
It implies that age-restricted material shouldn't be sold to minors and that parents should be more active in determining what is appropriate for their children.
It's (relatively) simple to get a student to use a formula. It's difficult to get them to realize when their answer makes no sense. (For example, a correlation coefficient that is not between -1 and 1)
Basically, a compass can be used on its own with great accuracy, but if you see the sun rise in the "west," then it's not the compass' fault.
I would argue that it's not due to the government being involved that the quality lowers, but rather that the government decides to become involved without raising taxes to fully fund the projects. The reason is that raising taxes kiss of death that is hindering new and current government industries alike.
One example is Social Security, which has not increased the number of workers since their budget was cut in the Reagan-era. Note that the baby-boomers are now at/approaching retirement age, the prominence of "ambulance chasers" (ever see a lawyer commercial saying they'll get you the cash you deserve? That's them) are both strains on the system.

I believe you mean:

Good News Everyone!
Doesn't that just mean that something bad is coming?
Not the Rings Randal.
Say what you will about Jesus, but leave the Rings out of this.
Incidentally, DRM and commercial control is one of the main reasons, I believe, that there are so few commercial games released for Linux.
Or it could be that Linux only accounts for about 1% of OS market share, while Windows is over 90%. Interestingly, the iPhone accounts for about 0.5%.

Except, in my case, as long as my vision isn't completely blocked out, it would be magnitudes better than being practically blind.
It's perfectly reasonable that someone use a calculator for sales tax (if an exact answer is desired).
Also, sales tax is multiplication - not algebra.
Technically, I left off (0+4) mod 256, so that 1 point off.
(255 mod 256) + (5 mod 256)
= (255+5) mod 256
= 260 mod 256
= (265 + 4) mod 256
= (256 mod 256) + (4 mod 256)
= (0 mod 256) + (4 mod 256)
= 4 mod 256.
Try shipping something in mass quantities from NYC to Denver.
In this case, boats are absurd, planes are expensive and trains are slow.
$10 says they go for trains.

I would assume that part would be taken care of in thermal imaging.
But more importantly, why are we listening to astronauts?
How does being in space affect their credibility?

Mickey Mouse should not be free, as it is a trademark.
Steamboat Willie should be able to be copied freely, as it is a copyright issue.
Is that with no life still a lifeform?
They taste just like almond-flavored chicken.
I've heard there's one Super Rat who is a master of ninjutsu.

But I'm American.
Is there any way you can compare it to football?

Do we really need a study to tell us that?
Ah, the joys of teaching.
