Schools have historically shoved their schedules extra-early so that extracurricular events like sports can occur before the sun goes down, but after school.
Solution, abolish sports. You go to school to learn. You can play with your balls on your own time.
Prosecutors have prosecutorial immunity. The only justice you can extract from prosecutors is vigilante justice. Vigilante justice itself is untenable unless supported by the public. So nothing is going to change until the public is so fed up that the discovery of a box of prosecutor heads on the steps of the district court is met with widespread applause.
And that's the glitch. Casinos are nothing but money sinks, and yet the human brain still perceives them as fun. There's no rational expectation that you will leave better off than you entered. There's essentially no skill involved in most games, so you don't even get to feel good for having played well. All there is is variable schedule reinforcement, and blinking lights.
Why do you think the quality of life has improved so much over the past decades?
For whom has the quality of life improved "so much" over the past decades? What evidence do you have for this assertion?
A single person *can* produce much more value than they could a few deacades ago, but wage increases haven't kept up with productivity increases. All that extra productivity is being stolen by the rich. Decades ago a single median income was enough to own a home and raise a family. Today, not so much.
In 2011 the average AGI of the vast majority fell to $30,437 per taxpayer, its lowest level since 1966 when measured in 2011 dollars. The vast majority averaged a mere $59 more in 2011 than in 1966. For the top 10 percent, by the same measures, average income rose by $116,071 to $254,864, an increase of 84 percent over 1966.
In case you missed it, I'll repeat. "The vast majority averaged a mere $59 more in 2011 than in 1966."
The carrier has probably no choice. He can no longer get IPv4 addresses for new customers, so either he refuses customers or uses NAT to map multiple customers on the same IP.
The carrier has the choice to implement ipv6. Run ipv6 natively, and tunnel ipv4 traffic.
Qwest was the only telco to refuse warrantless wiretaps during the Bush era. I was happily a Qwest customer until they got bought out by CenturyLink. I would switch immediately to any telco that guaranteed refusal of any unwarranted requests. Unfortunately, none exist.
Once these sensors get cheap enough, this should be standard. Or at least standard if you buy insurance. It would be awfully nice to have accelerometers and GPS tracking on important packages. Embedded cameras might help prevent package loss too.
Again the reason for the current uptick (which went up since December, but has still been elevated since late 2008) was not because of marketing on the part of the NRA or firearm manufacturers... but because mostly rational people understood that something they wanted to buy may not be available latter... so buying now is preferred than risking not being able to later.
What exactly did they "understand"? That Obama is a socialist gun grabbing muslim nigger? It's 2013, everything you could buy in 2007 is still available. The gun nuts didn't "understand" anything, they freaked the fuck out because a black Democrat won the presidency. These are not rational people.
You'd be surprised how big a deal quick whole genome sequencing is. Instead of asking "is this gene dysregulated in this syndrome" and iterating hundreds or thousands of times, we can directly ask "which genes are dysregulated in this syndrome".
Adobe underestimates how much it benefits from piracy. If poor college students can't cut their teeth on the full Adobe suite, they're likely to learn how to use something else. When those students go out and get jobs, they're more likely to use what they're used to than drop a bundle on Adobe software they've never used before.
I have. It makes no sense to me. There are actual palestinians (human beings living in the land referred to as palestine) that are suffering at the hands of Israel. Whether they exist as "a people" historically is irrelevant to pretty much anything.
True, you're not going to see Ken Burns or Neil DeGrasse Tyson level quality out of Youtube. But you can easily meet or exceed the quality of whatever is on basic cable at the moment 90% of the time. That may not be "great", but it's nothing to sneeze at either.
If you know where to look, there's lots of great content on YouTube. Personally, I enjoy watching Matt Chat, Lazy Game Reviews, and Classic Game Room HD, more than anything on TV. If you're a smart person who wants to share your passion with the world, YouTube is a much better place to do that than any television network.
What exactly is that supposed to prove? The palestinian people are real, they exist in space time, and they are suffering at the hand of Israel. They deserve political self-determination. Either give them their own state, or make them citizens of Israel. What is happening now is an atrocity, no matter what the historical status of palestine is.

It's the fact that Allwinner still hasn't created an Android OMX stack for their hwaccel video codecs
Who said anything about Android? I want XBMC on GNU/Linux.
No. Which is all the more reason why the first vendor to open their specs is going to grab a lot of marketshare.
Are there any with an open GPU? This is the big obstacle to getting XBMC on an Allwinner device.
Actually, these days you can buy a complete XT compatible PC kit. I'm totally blanking on the name of the project now unfortunately.
Yes, regime change in Iraq was so easy, we should do it all over the world! All it takes is a snap of the fingers...
Wait, wait, who's the psychopath here?

Casino's entire reason for existance is to profit off of a glitch in the human brain.

If such a machine is still in production today, one could use an XT-IDE card and CF.

my Honda CR-V has a nice GUI to show me the speed, mileage, and other data.
My Honda has a similar GUI. It's called a spedometer, odometer, and tachometer.
I have. It makes no sense to me. There are actual palestinians (human beings living in the land referred to as palestine) that are suffering at the hands of Israel. Whether they exist as "a people" historically is irrelevant to pretty much anything.

You forget DOS 4 and Windows 2.
What exactly are you talking about? There are real human beings there. Who do you think keeps firing rockets?
