And Florida's Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd needs to be played by James Best (Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane)
That guy has threatened to arrest "rascal" Apple CEO, if it comes up.
"You cannot create a business model to go, 'We're not paying attention to the federal judge or the state judge. You see, we're above the law,'" he told Fox 13 News. "The CEO of Apple needs to know he's not above the law, and neither is anybody else in the United States."
So, would sheriff Judd hesitate to arrest Cook himself?
"I can tell you, the first time we do have trouble getting into a cell phone, we're going to seek a court order from Apple," he said. "And when they deny us, I'm going to go lock the CEO of Apple up. I'll lock the rascal up."
How so? Take addition. You put the numbers ontop of each other and add them up by row, if it's more than 10 carry the one. You can do this counting your fingers if needed. The new way you have to split the numbers into easily addable bits but inorder to do this you need to do math to split the number before you even start! Madness!
Look she is a scientist too! She is female and non white, this is so great, much greater than the theorem. We have so few theorems we can name after women, its really great we now can prove the patriarchists that cunts are smarter than dicks!
Yeah but she doesn't want to do maths she wants to be an actress, just like the rest of them....../sigh
Wtf, why do you bring up this persons Jewish background that way? And how do you know they are not Muslim. So shut the fuck up you fucking piece of worthless anti-Semite shit. What the fuck does religious background have to do with anything here, apart from showing the fugly face of dirt bag filth-filled bellybutton scum like you. Go fuck yourself you fucking gutter rat.
Doesn't matter what policy your country has, the truth is it's quite common in various countries for high school level math to be taught as a recipe that must be followed and many teachers will mark answers correctly derived in alternative and more creative ways to be incorrect. Ultimately it's up to the teacher not the policy with these details, and it's hard to get lots of good quality math teachers at a high school level.
That's what I love about math. The answer doesn't matter and it's all about the journey......No, wait.
1. The "new math" method is designed to teach more than just how to get the answer. It teaches estimation skills and done right can teach how the numbers interact rather than just having your kid memorize an algorithm, both of which will make learning more advanced math easier (a number of "math is easy" people have remarked that the way "new math" teaches arithmetic is how they've always broken down numbers).
2. Learning the method that will be used as the base of further learning is important. If his teachers are using "new math", not learning how to use it will put him further behind with each new concept he's learning. Part of the assignment was learning how to use this method for division, which he did not complete. This is not substantially different from when I was a kid and being given a 0 for not showing my work (i.e. demonstrating that I understood more than just what the result was).
3. "Long Division" is not the "one true math standard". Various forms of it came into practice sometime between the middle ages and the renaissance, and the form which we were taught during the 20th century didn't even come into existence until the 19th century. "New math" is no weirder than when researchers figured out that teaching kids music also improves math skills.
I guess the math that we all learned was shit then and isn't relevant anymore?
But.... wouldn't those moving North have to learn that wierd dialect of French that is spoken there?
Isn't is the law that produce has to have the French labels on the outside?
I thought when you immigrate to a place you're supposed to just set up camp and do whatever you did anyway then claim racism if any locals have a problem?
I get annoyed at loud conversation all the time. Of course, I hate people so...
That's by the by, why is half a conversation more annoying than a full one you're not listening to anyway? (By the way I agree with you, life would be better if everyone else would just fuck off)
Population density of Japan: 336 people per sq km.
Population density of the USA: 33 people per sq km.
Quite literally, in Japan you can't easily get away from other people and must put up with them, and thus they must put up with you.
Misleading. That takes into account total country area of which USA has a shit ton more and a lot of it is empty. Look at the cities. Tokyo has a pop density of 6,200/km2 and New York has 10,756.0/km2. Chicago has 4,447.4/km2. All numbers from wiki.
and people having loud animated conversations on their cell phones in crowded public spaces are rude.
I never got this. If two people are sat on the bus/train whatever and having a chat, no one gives a shit, remove one of the people and half the conversation and people are suddenly put out by it.
"Because the number of possible Go board positions exceeds the number of atoms in the universe,
That seems like quite a bold claim. Atoms in the whole universe? Google tells me the known universe holds an estimated 10^78 to 10^82 atoms whereas a 19x19 go board has 10^170 legal moves.......that doesn't seem right, it can't be. I mean, the teeny tiny things that basically build everything that exists vs spots on a shitty grid...really? Does anyone else taste copper?

This can't be real? If it is I weep for for you.

What about the appy app appers? Where'd that guy go?

Wow, someone touched a nerve.
See, now I would do 12x12 + 5x4 but that's probably wrong.

Mutually assured destruction, it's not just for nation-states.
All Apple needs to do is delete their private key.
They still have the trump card here.
What I would've done.
"Sure we'll get that iphone open for you, give it here a sec (days/weeks/months pass)
Oops, wiped it, Sorry lads."
If you can produce an underdeveloped and underpopulated continent from your ass, I can almost guarantee a massive development of wealth.
Sadly, I don't think you can.
Well, undeveloped isn't too much of a problem, and then you just kill everyone there already. Isn't that what happened last time?

There's a new one. Slashdot posting something timely enough it could be a spoiler.
Genius!
Thanks for the link
Thanks for the link, I guess it's not just people being dicks then. Well, on purpose.
I find it easy to tune out other people, sometimes even when they are talking directly to me. My wife can confirm this.
Ha! tell me about it ;). Thanks for the link though.
Actually, it depends on how loud the chat is.
I get annoyed at loud conversation all the time. Of course, I hate people so...

He's a hero. Please jam cell phones everywhere.
How about he follows you around with it?

By the way, are you allowed to have a beer on the Chicago public transit? If so, that's fantastic!
Yes, people drinking as they please, with no bathroom in sight (but plenty of pillars). It's a real treat.
Gotta stop them people on the phone though.
There are, in fact others, some of which I'm prohibited from sharing with you...
So go AC
Didn't we have this same headline for the F-22, back in the day?
Dunno but didn't that have a thing where it cutoff the oxygen supply to the pilot?
Hi, I'm Talkie, Talkie Toaster. Would you like some toast?
