I'm sick and tired of people acting like free speech means speech without consequences.
I don't know if you meant it that was too, but I am sick and tired of seeing troll derailing discussion by going Westboro-Baptist-Church on someone using a subject barely related.
Being geeks means understanding "Separation of concerns". Shunning Art for the artist's behavior is your own choice, but waging war and hate on Art because of its creator is uncivilised. Shoveling this is why we hate lawyers and dismiss certain pressure groups.
Enlighted people will state their beliefs and stay open to criticism. Small minds will attack anything that challenges them.
The cost of university has little to do with the actual outcome vis-à-vis employment. In short, much of the educational sector has lost focus.
Well, I sure hope universities aren't trying to make employees, that's a technical college's job. The primary goal of going to university is to learn how to think. The secondary goal is to add future movers and shakers to your circle of contacts, that why you pay real money.
It could even be applied to Christopher Columbus. Those learned doctors were conspiring against him, saying that the Earth could not be that small and that the Indies were not just a short hop across the Atlantic. The right conclusion being "there's land not that far away."
Do they mean a 5x increase of time spent in simulators, with the same "real" flight time as now? At the other end, do they mean a 5-fold decrease in "real" flight time?
This hat might not fit, but I am compelled to present you with this anti-pattern.
I've work for 8 years with a visionary guy who could come up with incredible prototypes in 3-6 months. And you know how prototypes become the product. We started working on a 2-3 years project and he would feed us tasks as needed. It worked well the first year.
Then the team grew to 5ish and he couldn't feed us enough: he could not develop his architectural ideas without delving in and thinking code. Documentation, comments, planning were anathema to him and he never mastered the art of leading large teams.
Now we're going through this prototype, implementing modules which work just enough to show what should be there but there's no intent visible, no idea if it was a first draft or if that way was necessary for some other reason. At least what is done is well done, which is an improvement to the other lone-wolves that I worked with in my carrer.
That might be what the manager rightly fears. Just as you have to brainstorm with him what will be the role of everyone in the team he's building, you need others to brainstorm, and document, and plan, how the pieces of your software will work together. I know they're consultants, but try to learn from them how to do more than code rather than fear the loss of control.
I understand being lax in casual conversation, but not when millions will pay to read you. I never ever saw this kind of crap in the previous expansions and I've seen half a dozen in MoP.
I was wondering if a person who scores 100 today would have scored 70 a century ago. After all, very few knows trivium and quadrivium today. We'd completely fail any latin and greek. Check Harvard's entrance exam from 1899.
From 702 to 1406 the vast majority (30/40) of polymaths were of muslim culture. After that, 60/70 were of european culture. Note that we still have to hold supremacy for another 100 years or so to last as long as they did. Maybe we'll get Heinlein's theocracy before that.

Hey, to the overrated troll: you're such an ass. If your brain so scrambled up that that sentence made sense to you?
Nobody, no-one concerned that a Apple is tracking their customers, and can do so without their knowledge.
I thought that was true of any cell phone. Or is it only the SIM that can be tracked?
As an illustration of the problem, there were 3,890 more Apple product thefts than in 2012 than there were in 2011
That sentence is suffering horribly. Please put it out of misery.
Yeah. Micro$oft, £inux, Appl€. The Unholy Trinity.
Now, if Son¥ was in there, we'd have the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Conspiration theories are not sheeps!

Because it could mean anything in between...
Although no malicious intent by Ahmed Al-Khabaz, he stepped over the line and the University was not in a forgiving mood, arguably vindictive.
Note that Dawson College is not a University, you cannot get a bachelor's degree there. It is closer to a technical college.
The higher the position, the more perfect you have to behave. And the higher the punishment should be for being dishonest.
OTOH, "In a mature society, 'civil servant' is semantically equal to 'civil master.'", which shows how hard this ideal can be.

The bastard still requests to enter your password. You have to cancel twice every time you launch iTune.
Oddly, I've never been arrested.
That's because you're a car.
I suspect Blizzard are desperate for ways of getting WoW development costs down so they can focus on other things.
And it shows: http://www.wowhead.com/quest=31254... Dire straights indeed.

Never shall I sit my arse in a self-driving car. Bus? Fine,
For a second I thought you meant self-driving bus.

I wonder how truckers do it. /sarcasm

1) JOBS FOR EVERYONE!
I have sad news for you: Jobs is dead!
This is probably the only true statement in this entire thread.
I guess yours isn't then... or was yours self-referential?
What are you doing, Usagi-chan? You don't know how to use computers.
That was only true in the Beta world line.
Hey, I know you ... you're that 300 pound guy from the last Comic-con.
If that floats your boat, sure. But please, I don't wanna know how I look like.
Once in my magical girl outfit, I'd fight those evil men. I'd prolly scare them to death too.
That may not be the kind of fantasy you were looking for, though.
