    Well Apple fanboys making excuses for Apple is as sure as the rising and setting of the sun.

    Saying "mote point" is entirely possible. Though contextually his usage was wrong.

    Is that why you have one space after your sentences? Never mind the double space has been effectively pushed out of grammatical styles.

    No it assumes that the department head thinks his teaching style is style that should be used to instruct the students. It could be said their the heads of the department due to their skill and knowledge in the field.

    You know the world isn't black and white right? Both sides can be wrong. But since only the admin side is being labeled as being wrong, someone needs to point out that their opposition to what he did is valid.

    My car was built properly the first time, it did not need continuous replacement of parts because the original ones had design/manufacturing defects.

    There's nothing wrong with this. As they are directing what they view to be necessary for a good mathematics course, it makes sense that they'd use their teaching material.

    I'm always up for a good rock-salt fight.

  15. I hate to help the guy, but they could've had a redundant server running authentication. When the customer boxes failed authenticating on the first one, they could've rechecked with the other one.

  16. When your other cable provider has an outage it is typically not during a major live event that the location has a substantial interest in.

    1) Citation needed.
    2) Weasel word typically. It's irrelevant if it's typical or not. I'd argue it's never typical for any provider. But since the sentence concedes that it does happen to other providers (and it has for me), we're still back to the fact that the other providers don't provide refunds, typically.

  17. Oh please, think of all that precious Helium!!!!

    It's not a true addiction unless there's a physical dependency. The psychological aspect is optional. It is medically correct to say that Afrin is addictive.

    Man that sucks, getting Pseudophedrine in VA is easy. Yeah, they take your card to track the usage, but other than only being able to get it when the pharmacy is open it's a cake walk.

    “The next time something like this happens, they're gonna refer to it,” Merideth said about future cases involving drones. “Now I don't encourage people to just go out and start blasting stuff for no reason - but three times in one day, three times over the course of a year, six times total, over one property? That's not right, that's harassment."

    I wonder if a breaching round would be effective. It'd definitely be harmless assuming you didn't directly fire it at a person.

    Putin believes the internet is something to be sectioned off and layered by each country. Cutting fiber lines to other countries is probably some weird Putin notion of blockading the US.
