That is assuming education is a normal good and that demand decreases with price increase; however education is a status symbol and the fact that engineering degrees cost more might suggest to people that they are more desirable and therefore increase demand, making them a Veblen good.
The show's been on a decline, but I'd have to say it officially jumped the shark when four characters simultaneously started singing "All Along the Watch Tower." Good song, idiotic way for people to find out they're Cylons.
This reminded me of a argument I once saw on a BSG forum. It was about the episode where they are rescuing the people from New Caprica. In it they jump one of the battlestars (I don't remember if it was Galactica or Pegasus) into the planet's atmosphere and it begins dropping quickly. They then jump it back out into space right before it hits the ground.
The funny thing is the argument was about whether the people inside the battlestar should have been floating weightless or not. People started bringing up all sorts of stuff the learned in high school physics about air resistance and gravitational forces. However no one made the obvious point that in most of the show they are in space and all of their ship's have gravity suggesting that they must have some gravity generating equipment, making the whole argument moot.
I post this out of genuine curiosity and do not intend to troll. Where is the innovation in OO.org? Yes, I have used it, but a few extremely annoying glitches, such as copy/paste not always working correctly, made me switch back to Office. From my experience it is just a direct recreation of MS Office. Any feature that is added to Office seems to just show up a version later in OO. They are nearly identical even down to the UI.
I dont think when I'm 50 that it will be that hard to use any new gizmo that comes out. Everything it seems that every electronic gadget all sort of follows the same basic way of working and that if you grew up with that you can do anything. If you could use a tape player, you could quickly use a cd player, if you could use a cd player you could learn a dvd player, a reciever, an iPod........
My father is a computer science professor, and I remember going to his lab some days and playing Battle Zone against his grad student's on SGI workstations. Good times!
If you read all the ads for HL2 you can clearly see that its release date is 11/16/04. It is the retailers that are breaking the street date on the game. I doubt Valve or Vivendi really wanted to get into this mess, but the retailers didn't follow their directions.
I realize that the parent is a joke, but can someone give me a little explanation as to the version naming of java. Why do they call it j2se 5 when it is java v1.5? I have only done a little dabbling in java so this confuses me a lot.
This immediately made me think of how they did long distance space travel in the Dune series.
The pilots of huge spacing guild ships bent space and time with their minds, effectively teleporting the ship across the galaxy. Although anyone on/. should already know that.
Are you saying you don't believe that the opinions you hold are the correct opinions? While I am not saying that reasonable people cannot disagree, it is only natural to think that the opinions you have are right and that people that disagree are wrong and misguided.
Why hasn't the marketing division of any of these companies spent more time on making there products "cool." You don't want to just compare everything to the ipod, like saying it has more storage, is lighter, or cooler looking because you're still admitting that the iPod is the gold standard and you are just trying to catch up.
Nobody wants some catch up product, they want the iPod. Companies should concentrate on making the best products possible and then pretend like the iPod doesn't exist at all and that everyone needs to have their player.

If you follow this line of thinking you should be against the 1st amendment because it is the government regulating speech.
Point taken, but such a student may indeed be far less likely to contribute to that university's Nobel Prize count.
Are you sure? I bet if Richard Feynman had had a Facebook profile it would have been pretty scandalous.

Sounds like what CAPTCHA farms already do.

It is clear that you do not own a car.
...is 1337 sp33k considered encryption?
I think its more like the pencil companies won't have to resell some of the pencils they made to other distributors.
I was really hoping this patch fixed those pop-unders I started getting lately.
The pronounce feature works for me in firefox.

Is the fact that it is free the only innovation?
You can create a raid out of just about anything!
Wrong, it must be inexpensive.

They all work the same way.
If you are really curious Sam Spade has a link deobfuscator feature.
BTW the site seems to not be working right now, but that should be temporary.

You forgot the fourth option.
They wait two days and then activate the game and enjoy playing it. What's the big deal honestly?
I enjoy playing halo2. That makes it a good game to me.
It also features Steve Vai.
I'm sure the MPAA would be willing to add the cost of this useless equipment to their damage estimates.
