...a variety of Math/CS subjects, including Precalculus, AP Calculus, Honors Physics, and AP Computer Science....
I assign 1-2 hours worth of work every night
There's not enough in any one of those subjects to spend 1-2 hours of work on a night. You sound like the sort of teacher who can't be bothered to be efficient, because, after all, his student's time is shit.
How long does it take the most intelligent students to learn all the material for the semester? The least intelligent? How often do you let your intelligent students out of Calculus early in the semester because they've covered the material in a month or two?
If the difference between how fast your best students learn and how fast the worst learn isn't at least a factor of seven, you are wasting someone's time with your shit.
No -- Firefox is at the disadvantage. If you're a single user running as administrator, its auto-update is great. However, the users (all running limited accounts) on our Windows/Samba network will have to wait until I install the new update manually because there is no built in mechanism for administrators to push out updates.
And should I use my cobbled together scripts to push out a security update for Firefox on the last day of finals when it might break everything, or should I wait until Monday?
On the other hand, the WSUS server that I set up worked exactly like it was supposed to last night.
Your first point is wrong. Not just a little wrong. A lot wrong. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are repeating someone else's bullshit.
Finally, your entire premise was false. The original poster was "distorting" no facts. In fact, he said that the same logic that could justify abortion of a fetus could be used to justify the murder of an infant. His argument, unlike yours, was made up of arguable points.
I'm afraid all of this means that I'll be revoking your internet posting privileges. Please unplug your router so that the serviceman can pick it up when he stops by your house this evening.
This level of censorship will have zero practical effect on political speech.
Many, if not most, of the people upset about it use the internet to look up pornography and break copyright law — two activities with no socially redeeming aspect.
If you disagree with the last statement, you have let your brains dribble out your ears. I'm not going to argue with your tortured, whiny, refutations.
Although free political speech is a useful good, it is not infinitely good. Democracy is the modern religion, and is just as silly as worshipping Zeus ever was. Limits on (usually non-political) speech should be considered and imposed when they make sense, as they often do.
Hello. I am Shampoo, and it appears that you've violated copyright of my very important inventions. Please contact my lawyer to find out how many millions you will have to pay.
Yes, it's all about immigration. That's why the bulk of our immigrants, Hispanics, made such a strong showing in this study. Thank you for your wisdom. It's amazing how someone can instantly come up with an idea that endures the simplest and most obvious tests, like yours just did.
Strange how that black culture causes the same effects in all sorts of widely separated nations on separate continents and separate language groups. But yeah, it's totally culture.
No, no, you are absolutely correct. All those nasty transracial adoption studies that would test the prediction you've just made (please don't Google anything like "Tranracial, Same-Race Adoptions, and the Need for Multiple Measures of Adolescent Adjustment") are simply racist non-scientific garbage. Don't bother with them, your anecdotal evidence is enough! It's all cultural. Asian students do well because of their Asian parents. If some of those parents happen to be white, what's it matter? The magical culture fairies are more than powerful enough to overcome that.
Anyway, thank you for your post. You are a great human being. I wish that I could believe good things as good as you can.
Just remember everyone, it's culture. And our lousy school system. Genes have nothing to do with it. Asians and Eastern Europeans, and for some reason their descendants in America, have a far better mathematical culture than we do. As the study says,
it is only USA-born white and historically underrepresented
minority girls who are underrepresented,
underrepresented by almost two orders-ofmagnitude
relative to Asian girls educated in the
same school systems
For God's sake, everyone, you're racist if you think this is genetic! Okay, it's not the school system, but it's still the culture. It has to be.
The thing about democracy is that the system only works if everyone votes.
On what planet? Most people are idiots and have no business voting. If they were to vote, the government of this country would be worse for everyone.
In fact, the thing about democracy is that the system only works until the poor realize that instead of working for a living they can get rich quick by voting to take money from the rich.
I don't suppose that you have ever read Plato's discussion of democracy in The Republic?
I get marketing research phone calls from Neilsen subsidiaries doing surveys. If I have time, I do them. Now I'll tell them *NO*. You can't have it both ways, Nielsen. I suggest other readers do the same.
Oh yes, you knew all about it when you wrote your first post, huh? Now go on, I'd love to here about your physics credentials. You brought it up. Now shell out.
A little bit more to it than that. Moreno accessed the data, then asked his colleagues to point the telescope right where the object should be, then sent out an announcement with the new observation plus a bunch of archival data. The Caltech crew got suspicious when they noticed the Googling. They got even more suspicious when they noticed it was from the same IP as the announcement email. They got even more suspicious when Moreno wouldn't respond to their request for an explanation.
Moreno didn't find a dwarf planet, he exploited Google. He is a liar that doesn't have any right to the discovery.

Your second point, if not already wrong will be before too long.

I browse the web using telnet. Sometimes I do have to break out my calculator to handle https sites.
Here, let me turn it back on for you. There. Don't bother thanking me, I've already debited your bank account for my time.
Yes, Mr. Buffet? So you've correctly guessed the bottom of the stock market? Amazing. How did you do it?
Moron.
God damn it. Did I write affect there?
I would pay for the version that explodes with maximum anti-personnel affect.
Bizarre that Lenovo is considering this instead of an el-cheapo GPS phone-home device.
He's actually on our side. We're trying to get China to copy our space shuttle.
Hackers are missing 60% of opportunities to exploit Microsoft code.

Hmm, so you wouldn't be willing to pay $109,000, but you would be willing to pay $103,000?

You'll just get Firefly canceled.
The new ad is saying that PC users are a diverse cross-section of humanity, while Mac-users are stuck-up racist white people. Of course, they are.
