    South Carolina's.

    $10,000 a year for a state school? Like hell, both major state universities in my state are $20,000 a year, supplies, housing, and additional fees not included.

  3. Re:Universities are a cult on How Colleges Are Pushing Out the Poor To Court the Rich · · Score: 1

    Not all universities are like this. My state engineering school was more of a diploma mill than a reeducation center.

  4. Re:Goodbye on How Colleges Are Pushing Out the Poor To Court the Rich · · Score: 1

    This is why I dropped out.

    That's a lot of traffic for a service that everyone I've spoken to claims has nothing good.

    As the poet of a generation put it: "My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks| But it was obsolete before I opened the box| You say you've had your desktop for over a week?| Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique| Your laptop is a month old? Well that's great| If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight"

    The kids won't get help anyway, all of the seats were full BEFORE the revision.

  8. Re:Totally arbitrary anyway on Statistical Errors Keep 4700 K-3rd Students From NYC 'Gifted' Programs · · Score: 1

    Agreed, I was bumped up a grade (in middle school somehow) and I started having issues. By the time I hit high school I just stopped giving a shit, and cut school dozens of times, or faked illness to go home. I still came out with As and Bs in AP classes, but before I was bumped up, I was getting straight 100s.

    American universities are all diploma mills though, from State University to the Ivy League.

    Improvement of our children is the last goal on the list of any teacher union, in my opinion.

    Glad my lovely state of South Carolina is a right-to-work state.

    Given that cell phones are as much a part of your everyday carry as a wallet and keys, you would be screwed anyway if someone stole your phone.

  12. Re:It's about content not specs. on Ouya Performance Not Particularly Exciting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This. Sadly, I personally don't think that Ouya content is going to be able to carry it though.

  13. Re:Worried on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    It could still just be a gas leak or something. It was a building that blew, after all.

  14. Aurora Borealis? on Aurora Borealis Likely To Be Visible In Southern NY and PA Tonight · · Score: 0

    I should go get some steamed hams and go stargazing.

    Openbox + tint2 + Compton is love.

    This is the future you chose. You could have stopped this, why didn't you listen? We're in the belly of a machine, and the machine is bleeding to death.

    No, the general public will start using the word cyberhacker.

    This zombie fad is getting worn out. Just stop it, stop referencing it, stop producing zombie-related media, just STOP.
