Actually I was thinking more along the lines of aluminum, titanium or magnesium alloys blown to bits and heated to their burning points in the presence of LOX.
However shareholders are perfectly happy with your cell provider selling your whereabouts to the GAP or Starbucks, and make no mistake, if not giving that information to the Government, is going to hurt stock prices one little bit, you my friend are buggered six ways come Sunday.
Because he's an ex-banker, and the banks love him, so with Wall street firmly behind him, he can screw the rest of the city with impunity. Welcome to our new ruling class, and if you don't like it we have indoctrination training you're just gonna love.
I'm so sorry, you're looking for the Monsanto office down the hall and on your left, and the "Exxon Mobil" office around the corner, just keep going past the "AIG" office and you'll see it on your right... its the REALLY BIG office.
Are you kidding, there are 6 full volumes of "Bush"isms... and not just half conscious blathering performed at the end of 4, 22 hours days. Obama is well known for brilliantly reading speeches, he's an excellent orator. Even Reagan, a man who could handle a written speech with the best (there is no better training for public speaking than being an actor.) Opened his mouth and delivered unprepared howlers.Face it, The guys that run our country are forced to deal with topics outside their expertise, and if they're hard working SOBs, then in a tired moment stupid stuff will be said. If you have 4 years of public speaking, and in that time they can only hang a couple dozen faux paus on you, while having a body of public speaking that typically excellent. No biggie,
You can't honestly compare that to a man (Dubyah) who couldn't open his mouth prepared or not, and reflexively not have something stupid fall out. That kind of nit picking is the sign of someone whose rectum is much too firmly clenched. Nobody denies that Ronny was "The Communicator", and that his comments about "catchup being a vegetable" or that "trees cause pollution" were aberrations in an otherwise pretty spectacular job of speaking to the masses.
In short, if you wanna burn on Obama for caving in to Hollywood, or gutting our rights as citizen, I got some matches right here, and I can be back with some lighter fluid in about 5 minutes. You wanna make like he's Bush #2 the talking baboon, ah, not so much, in fact your hurting your own cause, because you just look like a childish hater pulling stuff outta your posterior to trump up as an issue... that ain't him looking stupid. Its you.
AND What about signal processing... sweet jebus, VOIP??? Can you say Fast Fourier or Wavelets? This little dance makes all those nice mpegs possible. There's just too many aspects of the physical universe and how it interfaces with our digital technology to describe, and at every turn, you bang flat into higher math.
Even being able to tell if your problem can be solved in polynomial time, and whether your solution scales linearly or exponentially, demands having the grasp of being able to see your problems in terms of mathematics. Consider the heart of all programming is abstraction, and that the purest forms of abstraction are invariably mathematical in nature. There, 'nuff said.
Wouldn't you also say, that having heavy math chops allows you to see clearly when the line from problem to solution is non-optimal? Wouldn't you say that because you've grown your mathematical mind you can clearly see natural symmetry to problems and their data sets? Wouldn't you agree that the rigor of mathematical thinking is precisely the kind of mental ecology in which to couch programming problems? A football player might spend thousands of hours running through obstacle courses lined with tires... I've never seen a single tire on a football field, and yet they keep running them in training. Because those tires exercise the precise muscles those football players will need in the competition in the real world. Grow you math chops. Its worth it.
Alright, how about global weather models? Fluid dynamics? Protein folding? Field tensor analysis for everything from power inductors to energy recovering braking systems to fusion modeling? All of these and a thousand more require higher mathematics to model. Ray tracing, rendering and animation being used in virtually all movies and games today involve all kinds of fascinating math problems, and interesting optimizations are popping up all the time. Statistics are important for everything from traffic regulation to neural networks to population control to quantum mechanical modeling to predictive analysis on genomics and proteomics. As has been said, it completely depends on what you're trying to do and what field of computer research you're taking on.
What hasn't been said is that the critical thinking skills required in visualizing mathematical problems and their solutions is precise that same little chunk of gray matter that's going to help squeeze out a better algorithm, or find the lines of symmetry in your data set so you can fold it and reduce space and time required to make your solution run faster and more reliably. Its all part of the puzzling mind, and math is the heavy lifting needed to give you the mental muscles required to move the intellectual mass you're interested in moving. That and at some point you begin to actually see the world mathematically. The elegance and beauty of the language and its freedom to build new and surprising contexts describing anything you can imagine. If computers are engines of realizing human imagination, math is the fuel that engine runs on.
There's a movie from 1969 starring Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers called the "Magic Christian". It explains everything. Oh, and pay special attention to the "Pheasant Hunt". The take down at "Mega Uploads" was precisely a pheasant hunt.
(at least in the USA the massive corporate profits mostly stay in country and get spent on fancy cars, swimming pools, and bar tabs). And it's not my fault!
Oh, sorry, you apparently didn't get the memo... the only thing "Trickling Down" in America is toxic sewage from D.C. The top 400 people in the U.S. have the same wealth and the lowest 1650,000,000. Exactly how many fancy sports cars and bottle of Clicquot do you think these clowns would have to buy to even make a dent in the vacuum in the American economy created by this level of hoarding? No, the only folks smiling (besides the insanely wealthy) are their Caribbean bankers. Even one else is swimming in something a wee bit browner than your typical pool. Corporations are turning America into a toilet.
And legally bludgeoning and bankrupting a grandmother because her pubescent grandchild downloaded a J.Z. song??? These aren't business men. These aren't even thugs. They are social parasites, bleeding the masses dry. We the people, are in fact we the sheep, and these wolves are eating well. Every action is a block buster designed to keep us sheep under thumb.
Only the sheep aren't hanging around to be sheared any more. Technology has democratized music (there is far better music available directly from artists than is now available from most labels.) Soon it will democratize the movie industry. Small Mom and Pop operations will produce eclectic, interesting, plot filled movies and while Hollywood will spend $100 bazillion dollars a year for some extravagant special effects pelvic thrust, and while smoking hundred dollar bills ask if it was good for us. The small independent will soon be making a bigger difference in the art of motion pictures. Personally, I'll stick with the interesting movies thanks. The various XXXAAs are making themselves hated, despised and superfluous. SO to the ass-hats of the universe, have fun while you still can, your days are numbered.
You need to understand when it comes to fascist corporate interests, nations and governments are middling obstacles to crushed under the jackboot of those who would make a profit under any circumstance. The American people are faring no better against their corporate owned and operated government.
Correct posture, wrong direction... the position I believe you are groping for is "Bending Over" though it includes the same subservience, there is a culminating act which distinguishes it from the more culturally acceptable bow. How'z it feel to be the 51st state?
The problem is where to draw the line between my individual liberty and yours. My fist should experience all the freedom it wants, right up to the edge of your noses freedom to not be bloody. Sadly when people begin assuming that their freedom is a Gawd given right, and continue to take a little more, grab a little more, nudge a little more, we end up with a lot of people who honestly believe that they are entitled. suddenly your continued breathing is interfering with their freedom to use that space you're taking up. This is how wars large and small begin. If you think I'm exaggerating, I would only have to point at the near cratering of the global economy in 2008, and the next one which will be even larger if we don't start limiting the freedom of those who now control our economies. So with individual liberty, must also come personal responsibility, and social accountability. You/They are not the only sentient being(s) on the planet, taking freedom isn't an excuse for not playing well with others.
Bring a point and shoot with a 12 MP res or higher, and video the course. Take high res snap shots of chalkboard or displays depending on presentation. That evening, edit video to just the stuff that matters. pump what you want through "Dragon; Naturally Speaking". edit, and highlight the text, imbed snap shots. Date the seminar with the video highlights and place in a neatly marked folder. Reread/View notes over the weekend, you remember more. If you can take you textbooks in digital form, you have a perfect way of making your class a part of a larger digital library. Better yet, break the content into smaller bits, store chucks in a database and add metadata for search. The act of managing the data will demand that you understand it so you can parse its nature and properly store it. Each section of each class will have its notes, classroom video, images, book information, scanned handouts, chapter questions, pop quizzes. In short, everything you need for the mid term and final, to pass with flying colors.
Yeah, and some idiot shooting a nobody Viscount and his Wife in Serbia, started World War One. From small things, world changing events unfold. Who knows, being the first might provide them with some special status in the future, or help make something else possible because we learned from their example.

No, Sam I am won't eat green eggs and ham...
I believe the euphemism you're searching for is "Shot in the head".
I expect you get to work in the morning with a pink slip for being a sexist pig in a government facility...
