What if the school is the highest you can go to? And what is the reward for getting an A instead of a B? Nothing, except in the final exams, because you have a better chance of getting on the university you want with A's on your final tests. If you can get a B with doing nothing in the classes before the last class, I take it you can get A's in the exams, and that's what counts.
But why should you work hard at school if you can get by like this? I know of no school that has the time and resources to challenge students like that one. If I were him I'd be somewhere else than at school too, working on problems that interest and challenge me. Who says this kid was doing nothing while not at school?
How on earth could Apple spontaneously cutting off users at all help their sales?
They would have me and many others as customers if it werent' for all that is wrong with the iPhone. There is much more wrong with the iPhone than just the app store. I live in Europe (NL to be exact), and the iPhone is the ONLY phone out here that can't be bought without a SIM lock. I don't want to change providers to get an iphone, and I want to choose my own subscription. And why doesn't the thing synchronise using bluetooth? Does Apple really expect me to carry yet another cable everywhere I go? Anyway, as you see the iPhone is absolutely not for me.
I also post a lot of stuff online but not under my real name. But I always keep in mind that if you wouldn't tell the story or show certain pictures of yourself 'live' to some complete strangers then you also shouldn't post it on the internet.
Calling people names because you think you're right says a lot about what kind of co-worker these applicants have to put up with once they're hired. I'm glad you're not my boss.
One of my housemates once ssaid about our weirdest housemate: "If you give him a quarter and tell him to call all his friends, he will still have money left when he's done."
Maybe you can see it as a Fat32 filesystem that has been used for a long time after the most important programs were put on it. Many files are all over the disk now because of fragmenting.
When I learned about junk DNA at University in the very eary 1990s I thought the theory was rubbish. Now it turns out I was right. That is a good feeling.
I wonder what will happen if you stimulate the neurons instead of listening to them. Despite the impressive results obtained, we still know nothing about how the brain stores memories. Maybe stimulating the neurons in a patient will help understanding that a bit.
Linden did that to me with my Seconf Life account, after a crack of their server in 2006 IIRC. They told customers to answer a few questions about who their friends were etc to get their passwords back. I had been there only a few days and I didn't know how to spell my friends' names. Thanks to their crappy customer service I never could log back in. Luckily I didn't have a paid account. I was pretty angry at them, and rightly so I believe. It's very inconsiderate to change customer's passwords without their consent. They did it to protect their customers and I understand that, but I guess I was not the only one who was forced to make a new account.
It looks like we now have Lies, Damn Lies, Statistics, and Genetics. If you don't understand a phenomenon you can easily blame it on genetics, and use The Selfish Gene theory to 'explain' it.

Here in Amsterdam we can't even build a few km of metro line for that without wrecking the occasional irreplacable 17th century house.

Wow that theremin video was much more interesting than the iPhone mewing video. Thanks!
I bet its knees can get on Symantec Antivirus.

I find your behaviour quite adolescent. You're too full of yourself, boy! Grow up and put your real name on your home page.
That actually is insulting. You may call your coworkers morons but not other people. You're even ruder than I thought.

That was the first thing I thought. I hope for his sake that the guy is European, but he has a very American-sounding name.

This is so cool. An article about an adventure game on /.. Adventure games are not dead, as everyone thinks. They're getting more and more mainstream.
Great, now I know why summer this year was, well, pretty nonexistant really.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions. The HP site was too slow to load so I couldn't see what the fuss was about. Moving on...
My former ISP mailed me my password in a letter (on paper!) in big black letters every time I changed it.
Linden did that to me with my Seconf Life account, after a crack of their server in 2006 IIRC.

Then make cheaper versions that don't contain the Ti but only Ni, and use a coin making machine to produce them.
Oh come on, everybody knows you become a greybeard when you're forced to use Vista.

But then again, Dawkin's The Selfish Gene can explain everything you throw at it really well.
