It's not like the pat-down stuff is codified in law; it's an administrative thing. I'm not sure the administrator of the TSA can be fired by Obama since he was confirmed by the Senate, but in 2012 a new administrator can be nominated that will be able to stop the new search procedures with a simple signed memo.
Why is nobody jumping on that part of the summary? This is typical homeopathic chi bullcrap, like the people complaining of headaches from the nearby (unbeknownst to them long inactive) cell tower that was featured on slashdot awhile ago, and the people who are afraid to hold phones near their heads because they never took freshman level physics.
Linux isn't exactly an ultrascalable high-performance OS either. If you were building a supercomputer operating system from the start you'd make very different design decisions than Linus did.
Your creditors don't "largely require" you to do shit other than pay them back.
With interest. Presumably if you can't afford it now but you can afford to pay extra later then you've done something profitable with the money in the meantime.
You can launch missiles into orbit whenever you want. You don't even need to notify the FAA, but they advise you to. Amateur rocketry is really common, especially for studying weather and space.
But 8th graders aren't in any position to make life decisions like dropping out of school. Plenty of problem children straighten out before graduating high school, and for those kids it's a good thing that they've been forced to go to school in the mean time.
Also the minimum age for dropping out is strategically set to be around the age that you can work full time. Any lower and you get very evil child labor. Any higher and kids don't have anything to do when they drop out.
Really, does average person ever have to deal with integrals, derivations... or nearly any other area of abstract algebra... after graduating?
Do you mean graduating high school? Students don't have to take calculus if they don't want to.
Do you mean graduating college? OK come on that's just ridiculous, if you're devoting 4 years of your life to study then you can't really bitch about taking an extremely basic math class like Calculus 1.
Also I'd be astonished if any college required non-math-majors to take abstract algebra.
This post is horrifying. Can you even imagine the caliber of disaster that would result from virtually no Americans knowing algebra and virtually all Japanese knowing calculus?
Talk about a paralyzed, ignorant populace incapable of innovation.
I'd love to be on the cutting edge but I can't update Flash Player on Windows without installing some insane Adobe downloader addon for Firefox o_O
Does anyone know where I can find flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll for the latest update so I can copy the files manually into system32\macromed\flash folder? The only flash xpi I can find was last modified in like 2009.
How can you expect to be competitive with people who have played Counter-Strike most nights for years? If you're just joining there can be no way you can reasonably expect to kill anyone.
That being said, if you're good at video games, you can easily pick up most games and get off the bottom of the scoreboard in about a day. Yes, some games are famously impenetrable like Quake/Warsow arena shooters, but honestly if you haven't picked those games up by now then it's your fault.
If you're bad at video games, well obviously people who are good are going to beat you.
Even if it had its core inside, you can't start a runaway fission reaction by throwing the thing into a fire. They needed high-performance switching electronics to even achieve the kind of precision necessary to start a successful detonation. An atomic bomb is just a normal bomb unless the fissile material is held at critical mass for some time.
Where I live, cops can pull you over for driving an unsafe speed in their judgment. On a clear day you can use the posted speed limits as a defense ("but the sign says I can drive 65"), but you certainly can't use the lack of a sign as a defense.
They just don't sue anyone who has the resources to sue back. I know I wouldn't launch a half million dollar legal battle if I had to swat down a DMCA request one afternoon.
Why would you even want Server 2008 to run without a GUI? The windows command line tools are dodgy and it only takes up like 64MB of your 16GB server memory.
You mean dithering? Um, I don't think so. Check out the bottom-middle square in this. Every pixel on my screen is exactly the same color, and yes I looked closer.

Oops, put a space in that link.

I sense arguments being made on slashdot based on which side has more results as an end tag.
"Google has more results for 'its cool' than 'it's cool' so that's clearly correct" etc

I'm really sorry to say this. Most games are competitive. If you're not having fun, you probably suck.
Why do you need to go to college? Here, watch Linear Algebra and Algorithms.
Also there is no remotely advanced math dropped in TFA, though the actual paper of course is cutting edge research.
Also the summary seems to have a fundamental misunderstanding of asymptotic analysis :)

Having someone as a contact doesn't mean you can read their texts. Not that SMS is even remotely secure.
Back in 1997 they would mail the internet straight to your house. Doesn't get much easier than that.

Here, let me link you to an executable file so you can download it and run it on an entire lab of computers. It's safe, don't worry.

Real life is usually subtractive color, not additive.
