I guess it depends on what you mean by "trashed." if they punch a few holes in the walls, mess up the paint, and stain the carpets, the repairs shouldn't ruin you financially. If they tear out all the drywall, the wiring, the plumbing, the flooring, and appliances, leaving you with nothing but a room full of 2x4s holding up the ceiling, then yeah, you could end up paying tens of thousands. But I've never seen a place THAT trashed, and I work for a real estate company that specializes in selling foreclosed properties.
Kind of reminds me of Pacific Heights starring Michael Keaton....

Ivy League schools are not technical schools. I can't think of a single one of them which has a computer science or engineering program worth mentioning. Hell I don't think they even have much in the way of a general science program. We all presume that the Ivy league is awesome, but if you're not going for some sort of liberal arts degree you're pissing your money away.
Cornell, Princeton, and U Penn are all quite strong in science and engineering
Ditto. My brothers and I took a class for kids at the local community college. We learned quite a bit -- the one class I clearly remember was when they were teaching us arrays. I think the computer we programmed on was a PDP11/70 running RSTS/E. Hell, I even remember the communal username (113,3) and password (Mercer).
Wow. That was a long time ago.
One of the problems I see is the use of standardized test and the only/overwhelmingly most important metric to "success" of a school. When that happens school becomes a year-long test prep class instead of an environment for learning. Solving problems using the cook-book method. Do the steps without understanding them.
You forgot about having to deal with organized labor. Seriously. Imagine organizing China's industrial machine? That would raise wages, raise costs, create a middle class, and fuck China up.
The ability of relative pitch, as with other musical abilities, is inherent in healthy functional humans. The hearing impairment appears to be genetically influenced, though it can also result from brain damage. While someone who is unable to reproduce pitches because of a lack of musical training would not be considered tone deaf in a medical sense, the term might still be used to describe them casually. Someone who cannot reproduce pitches accurately, because of lack of training or tone deafness, is said to be unable to "carry a tune." Tone deafness affects ability to hear pitch changes produced by a musical instrument.
However, tone deaf people seem to be only disabled when it comes to music, and they can fully interpret the prosody or intonation of human speech.
You forgot the corollary to Slashdot Rule #237: Also within 8 hours there will be a reply stating that they doesn't own an iPhone and don't plan on ever owning one. This can be made by the OP or someone else.
Silly you. This is America. The tobacco companies will pay for your mistakes. After all, they're the ones that provided the product that caused the cancer. They even told you it could cause cancer -- therefore it's their fault!!
Seriously, right now the US is fighting wars in 2 theaters and is limited by the will of the politicians in power. If American soil were occupied or under imminent threat of occupation, I don't think the politicians would 1) worry about popularity of the upcoming war poll numbers 2) need to worry about said poll numbers. Americans would band together, at least for a while, to expel and destroy with prejudice an occupying force just so we could get back down to the business of our own politics without outside influence.

More along the lines of, "I'm talking about the 686 prototypes, with the artificial intelligence RISC chip."
"Don't you know old chap that I was head of Al Qaeda for 10 years. Five year! No, no, I was not head of Al Qaeda at all...I make joke."
And people were wondering what Apple was going to do with their Scrooge McDuck pile of gold.

That means that on a single day Verizon sold 13% -- a single phone on a single carrier in a single country. Pretty good if you ask me.
But you only get a BA in CS from HU.
That's right, I forgot about Columbia.

10.8 feet square is the same as a square with sides measuring 10.8 feet.
10.8 square feet is an area that can hold the equivalent of 10.8 squares whose sides are 1 foot.
You, Mr. AC, are a pedant.

Why didn't you define "large" in the original post? A "large" deployment of Macs could be 100, 200, 500, 1,000, or 20,000. It makes a difference.
