Is it temporary 1000 miles from home or permanently? That makes a difference.
I would just write real letters in an envelope. she (in my case, in yours: you are very unspecific about the gender of your significant other, that information would help also not?), has to unpack it and probably will read it with care.
My penny...
His handle is Timothy and the subject line says "Girlfriend?" You can figure this out.
If you don't correct mistakes, those who do not know will define what words mean and the ability to understand the older meanings will be more quickly lost.
Massachusetts is higher than Virginia, but there's a definite concentration around DC. The lowest rates of S&E employment are in Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and South Dakota.
I literally peed my pants when I read that.
When a word is taken to mean one thing and its opposite, it literally conveys no meaning at all. That's my objection to the deprecated sense of "comprise." It's too close to the opposite of the primary meaning.
Search engines are pretty damned primitive when it comes to processing language. They search for the exact words rather than leveraging their meanings and oftentimes rank (self-fulfillingly) popular pages ahead of exact lexical matches for what the user typed.
I don't think a consistent orthography could evolve for English. I think it could only come from authority. Each dialect of English has more distinct phonemes than Latin. Also, not all dialects have the same phonemes and they don't use the same phonemes in the same words even if they have them. For example, compare the Received Pronunciation of "bath" to what they say in Tennessee.
Using the wrong word should be corrected if it changes the meaning (such as comprise versus compose), even if you don't deduct points for it. That's how people learn what words mean. If you don't correct mistakes, those who do not know will define what words mean and the ability to understand the older meanings will be more quickly lost. In an English class, correct writing is always part of the subject matter, so every mistake should be noted.
What's proposed here makes more sense as a technology demonstration than a practical solution. Lasers from Earth to space (and reverse) are unreliable because of clouds and ducks that radio goes right through. But lasers from space to space are excellent. You get more reliable comunications with a relay in Earth orbit to downconvert the laser signal to a microwave frequency. Also because there's no need to get high-res video streaming from the moon for this kind of science experiment.
It's also possible that they actually intend to use the technology they're buying and think buying the patent will be more efficient for them than licensing.
The submission and linked "story" read like ad copy from Dell.
That said, all in ones and midrange laptops have long been best buys in the computing world because all the peripherals that you would otherwise have to pay extra for (and cable to your PC) are built in. It's been the case for years that high-end graphics cards are only worth the money for gamers, video composers, crackers and more recently, gene sequencers.
Nothing is "comprised of" anything else. The word you are looking for is composed. An computer comprises components. Components compose or "make up" a computer.
If enough people misuse a word long enough, that becomes the new meaning.
Your experience was different than mine then. But if your professors were being hired and retained based on their research instead of education, that's a different thing for students to complain about. The students (or parents who in many cases pay the tuition) think they are paying for the teaching, not research. Also, if professors are paid to do research, compare their salaries to the salaries of similarly skilled non-academic researchers. They're not out of line either way.
The high cost is largely due to overhead -- physical plant, non-teaching staff and administration. The same is actually true at your local school district, but you may not be as sensitive to it because you paid the cost through taxes rather than handing over a check that looked like 15 or 20 car payments each semester.
Well, some of them could make more in industry -- e.g. the hard sciences, math, engineering, some soft sciences like psychology, communications. Others, not so much. There's no commercial marked for history professors. English literature, not so much. Everybody thinks they can write and Amazon is shoveling out shlock in the name of literature. Your chances of making it big as a writer are about the same as your chances of making it big as a NBA basketball player. Lawyers, same thing. Law schools have been turning out too many Juris Doctors for the market for decades.
But you're right in the big picture. It's not that professors cost too much. You're talking the highest level of professional educators. They should be damn good (in my experience most are) and be paid well for what they do, commensurate with what other highly skilled professionals make. Their incomes have more or less kept pace with the professional workforce over the last few decades. They're not driving the college inflation trend. One big factor is a drastically reduced PUBLIC share of the budgets of state universities. There used to be much bigger subsidies.
Not so. Kroger corporation, which owns a huge number of supermarkets, has a gross profit of 20.3% (basically margin on sales), EBIDTA of 4.6% and net income AFTER interest, depreciation, taxes and amoritiztion of 1.5%. So to make up for a loss (say spoilage or pilferage) of $1 value, they need to sell about $5 worth of product because the interest, depreciation and amortization are FIXED COSTS and the taxes are a combination of fixed costs (such as real estate taxes) and income taxes.

I could care less. Literally.
Quod erat demonstrandum.

I doubt you would comprehend.

I guess you like having it both ways.
Long distance in space.

With a direct radio link, you also get the lowest latency physically possible. The laser is to allow more energy efficient transmission.
Filing patents does not equal inventing.
It's also possible that they actually intend to use the technology they're buying and think buying the patent will be more efficient for them than licensing.

should be: "able to face environments that are hostile to men"
Also, the summary doesn't explain why they don't just send women to environments that are hostile to men.
Don't make me do this again, Slashdot editors.

The same thing that always goes wrong, somebody will abuse it because they can.
Can you explain to those of us to whom it's not obvious how the data are likely to be abused?
Not so. Kroger corporation, which owns a huge number of supermarkets, has a gross profit of 20.3% (basically margin on sales), EBIDTA of 4.6% and net income AFTER interest, depreciation, taxes and amoritiztion of 1.5%. So to make up for a loss (say spoilage or pilferage) of $1 value, they need to sell about $5 worth of product because the interest, depreciation and amortization are FIXED COSTS and the taxes are a combination of fixed costs (such as real estate taxes) and income taxes.
And that's your justification for stealing money out of my account?
But are they feeding the lab animals different foods than they were 40 years ago?
And mice feel the same way?
I find it amusing that people who think they are against an oppressive government think white nationalists could possibly be political allies.
