The trick to note taking is knowing what to write down. Don't do dictation. I disagree that note taking is pointless because I found myself constantly consulting mine for my bachelor's. But, you are right if you just robotically dictate you can't keep up with the professor and will miss information trying to write everything down.
Our Constitution accounts for the historical precedent of the Executor attempting to accumulate more power. While the rationale would initially be to perform his/her job more effectively, as more power is gained that power will eventually corrupt. But, in the present fear-mongering post-9/11 world, Congress members are the ones screaming the loudest for the executive branch to gain and use their power, out of fear that should another incident occur they want a legislative record absolving them of blame.
I hold that we're getting the government that we've asked for. Even when the TSA tried to remove the small knives ban, there was a huge uproar and the ban was reinstated. You want your rights, demand your Congressmen protect them. They do listen, but unfortunately right now we're telling them to go whole hog on surveillance.
I'm shocked this is modded insightful. I suppose this is the sentiment held by most Americans in a post-9/11 world. Firstly, in the same way you probably think it's OK for any citizen to own a firearm, we don't start applying dragnets to the general population. We didn't start profiling rightwing 20-ish White males after the OKC bombing and even when the Obama administration correctly noted that the biggest terrorism threat in the US is from *extreme* rightwing militias, that created an uproar. Just the *statement* of that was wrong. This stands against everything the United States was created for.
Secondly, these stop and frisks accomplish nothing but to harass a whole lot of innocent citizens going about their business. You might not care because you're not in the demographic, but the hit rates for stop-and-frisk are no better than randomly plucking people off the street.
Thirdly, this creates a HUGE amount of animosity in the profiled groups towards law enforcement. So, when cops approach the same citizens to investigate other crimes, that makes it that much more likely cops won't get cooperation.
Finally, stop-and-frisk is often used to dress down affluent Blacks and Hispanics. This is the all-too-comment "reminding that n****r of his place" power law enforcement uses to target someone they see as unfairly of higher economic status than they are. You might be on a date, you might be on your way to work, you might be on your way to a job interview, and an unscrupulous cop will simply walk up to you with absolutely zero evidence or suspicion of a crime and treat you like a criminal out of cruelty, hatred, or simply because he hates your Obama t-shirt.
Rather than voicing your very ignorant opinions on the law, I invite you to simply google for YouTube videos on what honest Americans have had to endure for your security theater.
When you're focused on sucking in everything, you're not focusing on analyzing anything. Somehow, we didn't have the resources available to keep the Boston bombers under surveillance, but we have the resources to keep 300+ million innocent citizens under watch.
Probably an Atkins like diet. About 15 years ago, I did it when people thought it was a fad and got fantastic results. Back then, everyone including my nutrition-major friends dismissed it as a kookie conspiracy theory (the processed sugars, corn syrup, etc.). Now, it's widely accepted.
Either they're weaving or they're inattentive. Even the physical position of holding a phone up blocks peripheral vision. I almost had to dump my car over a curb to evade an oncoming car that roamed into my lane. I stopped using my phone while driving (until I got a Blutooth-enabled car) because I'd caught myself making mistakes while on the phone.
The article shows that accident rates have been dropping sharply for the years before cell phones became ubiquitous. If anything, that curve flattens out more when cell phones usage increases. I didn't read the whole article and probably won't, so I'll be interested to read how others with knowledge of statistics see this study.
That being said, I don't know if I'd want to see cell phone bans in place, but definitely some system of additional charges for cell phone use before an accident.
James Bond isn't an institution. You don't "elect" a new Bond. If you want a badass super she-spy, then create a new franchise. To me, it's silly to change the character that fundamentally. There are times it works mind you. I thought Michael Clark Duncan was about as close to a Mr. Big as you can find in the real world.
I had a space tech class as a freshman years ago and couldn't figure out how to solve 2 problems for my torus design (it was a conceptual project):
1. How do you dock with it? Is it going to be an Elite-like approach where you sync rotations? That seems pretty ugly, especially when you get inside and need to actually dock.
2. If your hangar is stationary at the wheel hub and the living areas are gimballed to rotate around the hangar, how do you seal your living quarters if there's a constantly rotating connection inside the station? It would seem that wherever the two meet will constantly leak air.

This is my problem with their movies lately. Before you laughed at how bad they are. Now SyFy seems to want to join in and laugh at themselves; almost as if they're absolving themselves of making such crappy movies. It doesn't take much to make good movies. Look at all of those Chill network originals. I've seen some very entertaining small pics and Chill is a minor network.
Any time one popular video springs up, scores of copycats rip it off and repost it for links. So, you've got to wade through tons of crap to find anything.
You sir haven't taken any classes on foreign policy lol. It's not about logic. It's about maintaining a boot on the neck of a former enemy under the guise of peace. I do agree that we should use the Japanese as a counterweight against growing Chinese military power, but the offset is risking another industrial giant leveraging location to push us out of the theater.
All I want is to watch Steelers games, but the only legal recourse is to buy DirecTV THEN buy Sunday Ticket which will run you $1200/year. All that for teh 10 or so games that won't be nationally televised.
Fuck cows, and pigs, and chickens. Not my fault they got the delicious gene. Go ahead and chow down on your soy burger marinated in self-satisfaction. I really don't get your huffiness about a guy not considering something a replacement unless it's a close facsimile. I'm sorry, but for the rest of us meat!=vegan_substitute+self_satisfaction.

Unfortunately for Bear, in space he won't have any 5 star hotels to hide out in between video coms back to NASA.
Reading all the "OneNote rocks!" spam under this article, you're probably right.

Hey they didn't say they were stuffing the vouchers in mole rats.

They already tried chickifying bond when they went with the monogamous Timothy Dalton version.

I guess I'm in that minority that likes the Daniel Craig Bonds better than most of the older ones.
Your big brother used to when he was pelting you with them.
Thanks for this, never thought of it that way

Starting now...[assuming it hasn't been done yet]
When a major corporation buys a news outlet, you can bet that cheap articles isn't the reason.

Hey, it works for XM radio, and they just broadcast the sound!

I guarantee those evil socialist Chinese don't allow plants to be networked like ours are.
