A lecturer can also do what a comic does and spend a considerable amount of time fine-tuning their presentation on live audiences before recording the final event for the class. Once you've got a solid feel for what works you can bang it out. And if you need to you can edit together footage from a couple of different events to get the Director's Cut.
If they do as mentioned above and use the class as a way to drum up interest from companies that want to recruit the best students then it can pay for itself via finders fees. That would be a great way to subsidize education.
I can't, really. I was just trying to be nice about it:) Virtually everyone I know who confronts religious people about their beliefs and behavior addresses the belief system, the cognitive dissonance, hypocrisy, etc. But I can't name one who actually threatens or makes claims that anyone will pay for being religious. On the other hand just sitting on Twitter and monitoring the #teamjesus tags is a lesson in petty people wishing death and torture upon those not of Xian faith. It's amazing how one of them can state that Jesus is love in one sentence, and state that a person deserves to die for being an atheist less than a minute later.
2 weak neighbors? No. You have a neighbor to the north which is not an imperialistic war machine. There is a difference. We don't have to pour an insane amount of money into our military budget because we don't practice insane foreign policy just to line the pockets of the men that own the politicians.
When Ahlquist won Facebook and Twitter filled up with direct threats against her life and physical well being. When the Cranston Florists started a Facebook page to take a stand against the "atheist hate" directed at them for refusing to make deliveries to her, the content of the threads I looked at contained no threats of any kind. Lots of criticism, but not even that many insults.
It's night and day in behavior.
Sure, there are assholes on both sides. But the Christians appear to have the lion's share this time.
Once you've consented to a search you've lost control of your property. And you sure as hell don't want someone with an agenda or a desire for a quick promotion putting stuff in your bags. There's been more than one case of airport security putting drugs in passenger bags for test purposes, losing track of it, and those people passing through countries with zero tolerance. You're pretty much screwed then. I believe the fellow that spent two years in prison made it on to Slashdot at some point.
You have to remember not to set your phone down for a certain amount of time after having logged in to the store. Last I checked it was about 15 minutes. They may have fixed this by now.
Basically what some people were discovering was that if they had just made a purchase on their phone for the kids, and handed the phone over to the kids, the login was valid long enough for the rugrats to make a run on the app store.
The only reasons I've left a TF2 server is bigots and guys who don't want to play but just want to take up slots, stand in one place, and karaoke rap through their mics.
A few of us used to stay after work and play up to 8 hours of Quake 3 Rocket Arena almost every day, seven days a week. I was okay, but two of my co-workers were monsters - just amazing to watch. And watch you could, via spectator mode. And it was pretty obvious though the movement and traversal of the maps that it was skill, not cheating.
The thing that sucks about a nice spectator mode like that is when you have a squad based game and someone who was killed is yelling to their surviving teammate "He's on the other side of the door!" We used to get that in the 'artist vs. coder' matches of that counterstrike-alike mod for Unreal Tournament. Dirty cheatin' coders.
Hell isn't even part of the initial mythology. It's a late stage addition. Satan as well, and he takes the form of whatever gods or activities the Christians were taking a dislike to at the time - eg. in some places the traits of Bacchus and Pan formed his myth.
Whatever religion you belong to, you can be secure in the knowledge that at the very minimum 5 billion other people think it's full of shit.
Being "let off with a warning" is quite common for speeders. Police often completely ignore anyone going less than 20km/h over the speed limits on the 401 highway in Ontario. Plea deals and overlap on types of charges create the very grey areas that you deny exist.
Any one law, in complete isolation from reality, might be "black and white" but you don't live in complete isolation from reality... do you?
I loved my Powershot A620 with the CHDK firmware. Best point-and-shoot I've ever laid hands on. The A620 also let you attach extenders so you could mount filters or other lenses in front of the existing hardware, which I did with a Raynox macro kit.
I even recorded video using the macro setup, though it has a very narrow DOF. Sample of a crested gecko baby here.
You guys keep talking like MS is buying them for tech. Yahoo is like Google and Facebook. Their product is the user. The loyal, 15 year, highly profiled, user.
Data centers and the like are mostly just a nice bonus on top.
I remember reading about the pink pigeons on Mauritius that would get intoxicated on berries, but the locals stayed away from them rather than enjoy the easy pickings. One of the byproducts of the digestion of fermented berries was supposedly hydrogen cyanide, which didn't hurt the birds but isn't exactly something you want to ingest with dinner.
Maybe Ron Paul would chip in the rest, since that was his go-to platform on healthcare.
We just had a serious accident in the family, which resulted in that family member being kept in Nuerosciences, under constant supervision, for days. It's been just over a week now. The costs associated with this is the US would have destroyed any financial future my family had left.
In Canada it comes out as a manageable chunk of my taxes, and if the same disaster befalls someone else they'll be protected too.
Sure, our health care system is fucked, but it's partly because we sit beside this massive for-profit clusterfuck that is sucking up all the talent because they can get rich bankrupting the sick and desperate.
In the 80s, when we were teens sneaking copies of Hustler away from older brothers or swapping with neighbors I remember seeing several issues with both porn and horrible war footage.
Flynt was not afraid to publish articles showing exactly what kind of destruction the US was, or had been, wreaking overseas. And he showed the cost it had on the soldiers as well.
The nudity and sex were not the obscenity. The murder of civilians and the treatment of those who had signed up to serve the country was the real obscenity.
We haven't stood still. There are two significant factors at play - performance and miniaturization. The bulky CPU that came with a heat sink assembly that took up the space of a small toolbox now fits on the tip of your thumb. The storage is now small and cheap enough that couple with the CPU and mainboard you can put small, powerful computers all over your home -- cheaply. And without having to buy it locked down and as a loss leader for a corporation's accessory market. I can't wait to see what's available in 2020.
There's an app that lets you exchange contacts between two devices (I've only seen the iPhone version) by bumping them together. It senses the collision, discovers the other device and exchanges the data. In the future they wouldn't even need to give urls, you'd just share the content through some trigger.
Okay, I'm being silly. In the future all content will be locked down by corporations and any such endeavor will be met by fines, imprisonment, and possibly torture.
Executed? The death penalty is an appeal to the ignorant. "Oh look at how hard we are on crime!" If you support the death penalty you're either ignorant of how the law works and the cost of killing innocent people, or you are aware and are just an immoral shit who doesn't mind people being murdered by the state "as long as it's not me".

While you two go on about that I'll just be over here ding a dang donging my dang a long ling long.

The Sun is bullshit aimed at a grade six reading level. The Star is bullshit aimed at a grade 9 reading level.

QI - Why it took 300 years to give the Giant Tortoise a scientific name. Hilarious.
Seems like it only exists where the officers of the court are capable of understanding the crime in question.

You bring in your audience with the product they want, and while they're there you give them the message.
