2.0 is the average number between 0.0 and 4.0, but it might not be the average GPA... Quite frankly, there is grade inflation in many colleges or classes... a more honest standard would show your GPA as well as the average GPA for every class you take.
That said, though, a lot of the 0.0-1.0 GPA crowd drop out or get kicked out, so the students that are left are more serious about their education.
And that's hardly a surprise, since inventions depend critically on the mass of technology current in society. I conjecture that "little guys" do most of the work, and "inventors" merely skim the cream off the top.
In the old days (ie pre 80s, pre software patents, etc), the people doing the inventing weren't the ones that did the patent filing, and when developing some new breakthrough, running to the patent office wasn't the first thing that came to mind (of the engineer, at least).
The US Patent office has changed their minds 3 times over who invented the microprocessor. That was the 1968-1971 era, perhaps the biggest invention of the last 50 years, and nobody kept records!
"[Ted] Hoff stated that Intel's patent filing was somewhat casual and that they put their time into making the 4004 work rather that the patent process." So when there is competition, the person that rushes to the patent office with an idea on paper is better rewarded than the person that takes the time to develop and implement it.
Java and Javascript are unrelated... Microsoft atually paid for ECMAScript (aka JavaScript) to be standardized, something that Netscape (initial developers of it) refused to do.
On Feb. 14, 1876, Gray filed with the U.S. Patent Office a caveat (an announcement of an invention he expected soon to patent) describing apparatus 'for transmitting vocal sounds telegraphically.' Unknown to Gray, Bell had only two hours earlier applied for an actual patent on an apparatus to accomplish the same end. It was later discovered, however, that the apparatus described in Gray's caveat would have worked, while that in Bell's patent would not have. After years of litigation, Bell was legally named the inventor of the telephone, although to many the question of who should be credited with the invention remained debatable.

Oral sex is the way many women first get exposed to dog love.
Dogs are naturally attracted to the scent of a woman's vagina, so
many of you have already discovered that Rover likes to sniff
your panties or even your crotch. Allowing him to take it a step
further is an excellent way to experience some of the greatest
oral sex you will ever have in your life! One of the nicest
things about allowing a dog to lick your snatch is that most male
dogs will spend much more time than a human male providing you
with the most electrifying oral sex. A dogs tongue is also much
longer and is able to get to many places that a man can't or
won't. A dogs tongue is covered with thousands of tiny buds that
when he licks your clitoris you will feel sensations that you did
not know existed. And, how many of you have had a man give you
analingus? Not many i'll bet. Well, I'm hear to tell you that
having your ass licked is a great thing, and a dog has no problem
doing it for you!. If you have never experienced a tongue working
from the very top of your slit all the way around to the end of
your crack you have truly missed something grand.
There are several very good positions for you to try if you want
to try this. If you decide that your preference is
clitoral/vaginal only I have found one position that works very
well. I recommend that you sit on the edge of a bed so that the
back of your calfs are flat against the edge of the bed. You then
lay straight back picking your feet up and placing the on the
edge of the bed. This will expose your clitoris, labia and vagina
to his waiting tongue. For those of you who would like more but
want to prevent him from trying to mount you then the ideal
position is reclining on your side, on pillows or cushions, on
the floor. All you have to do at that point is to raise your leg
a little and he will have access to all of your pussy and ass.
For those of you that want that ultimate experience you will have
to give give him full and total access to you. This can only
happen when you are down on all fours. Now I know that staying in
that position for more than a few minutes is not comfortable at
all but there is one way that I have found that will be both very
comfortable and very enjoying. You kneel at the edge of your bed
and then lie the upper part of you body face down onto the bed,
keeping your knees on the floor. You then spread your knees apart
as much as you dare giving him full access to you. One very
important item to remember while you are considering what
position you would like to use is that if you do not wish to have
him mount you this is not the position to use.
Now that we gone over all the wonderful things that a dog can do
for you with his tongue, lets talk about what you can do with
yours. According to several doctors and veterinarians I have
spoken with, a dogs cock is three times cleaner that a mans cock.
A dog will spend considerable time every day cleaning it, how
many men do you know that do that? So, why not try it? I find
that when I am sucking off a dog, I have a tremendous amount of
mental stimulation that gets me horny as hell! Just knowing that
I am sucking on an animals dick will get me so horny, that it
doesn't take much to get me off. I will usually use a free hand
to masturbate while I am sucking him, and I have some of the
greatest orgasms this way.
Most male dogs will gladly allow you to suck them and there are
many positions to do it in. I find that two positions are very
good and are easy to accomplish. For those of you that are just
starting out and are nervous about doing it I recommend that you
have him lie on his back with you next to him. This will give you
full access to his cock and be able to control all the action.
But, another great method I use is to lie on my back with the
back of my head slightly raised by a pillow and have him stand
over me with his cock within reach of my mouth. Then he humps me
and does all the work, leaving my hands free to masturbate myself
with. One important thing to remember when sucking a dog: While
most men like to have their balls rubbed or fondled while having
their cocks sucked, this is not so with all dogs. Before starting
any sexual activity with him touch and feel his cock and balls to
insure that he does like it. The next thing that we are going to
do now that we have gotten into the position that we prefer is
begin to get him aroused. I find that the best way is to first
gently stroke his cock through his sheath until it begins to
enlarge and slip out. Once you have at least an inch of him out
of his sheath you should gently take him into your mouth. You
should continue to gently stoke him with your hand while you
begin to slowly move you mouth back and forth over his cock. As
you do this his cock will continue to enlarge until he reaches
full erection.
While you are moving your mouth over his cock you should try to
place the tip of you tongue into the indentation on the head of
his cock as this will cause his to reach his climax. As he gets
closer to his climax you will notice that at the base of his cock
there is a very large bulge known as his knot. This knot is used
to hold his cock inside a female (dog or human) until he has
finished ejaculating. If you are considering going further then
you should make a mental note of the size of his cock and knot.
The average large dog has a cock, when aroused, that is 5 to 7
inches long and 1 and half to 2 inches wide. The knot for a dog
whose cock is 6 inches long and 1 and a half wide can be two
inches long and 4 inches wide. A dog is different than most
mammals as from the time they begin to become aroused until they
begin to get soft they will have some form of ejaculate coming
from their cocks. At first arousal there is a clear thin fluid
that tastes like iron and has the consistency of water, this is
his precum that is for lubrication so his knot will slip into the
females vagina. At full arousal is when he actually will produce
his sperm and you can tell when this happens as his cum will
begin to have a slightly salty taste to it. You should be aware
that his cum will never be as thick as a mans but he will produce
about twice as much as a man. I personally think that dog cum
tastes much better than man cum.
This experience hapened last month. I walked into the local bar/dance hall and seated mysef. I was expecting to have a regular Friday night but the fates dealt me a new card that night. I was on my second round when a woman approached my table and asked if the extra chair had been taken. I replied that it wasn't and she proceeded to sit down. She had suicidal blonde hair and a voluptous body. She ware a kneeskirt and fishnet stockings and to flatter her large breasts she wore a low cut halter top that revealed a lot of cleavage.Her eyes were the wildest shade of green I had ever seen in eyes, very light and almost florescent but not quite.
We began to talk and continued a good conversation for about an hour when the subject suddenly switched to sex. We discussed our personal sexual prefrences with each other and were both getting quite horny. Another fifteen minutes of steamy sex talk went by when I felt her leg sweep across myfoot. Thinking nothing of it I contined talking. Then again I felt her leg but this time it was rubbing up and down myshin. I got an instant hard-on and pushed my leg out a bit more, so as she had plenty of room to work. We continued our conversation as her leg rubbed higher and higher making it's way towards my crotch aria. Then her foot raised and pushed against my groin. She then slid it up and down in a very pleasing manner. After about two minutes of this she stopped and got up.
"I'm going to freshen up." She said seductively with awink. I knew what she wanted so after she had been gone acouple of seconds I got up too and went off in the same direction. I was in the back halls of the pub looking around for were she might be when I was pulled into a utility room. I couldn't see her but I recognised the scent of her perfume.
We where locked in each others embrace and where taking full advantage of this. I slid my hand down her back, across her butt, and down her leg until I reached the bottom of her skirt. I slid my hand under and proceeded in rubbing her thighs. They were bare so I deduced that she was wearing no underware. As I did this she undid my pants and slid her hand under my boxer shorts. She rubbed my dick in a pleasing fashion. I moved my hand on down until it came to the outer fringes of pubic hair that covered her cunt. I ran my fingers through it and came to her juicy cunt. I parted her vaganal lips with my middle finger then slid it in. She began to move her hips up and down as she made noises similar to purring. Her grip on my cock tightened as she was about to orgasm. As she came the cunt juices flowed out in barrels covering my hand and making a puddle on the floor beneath her. She began to stroke my cock faster.
I slipped my fingers out of her honey pot and tried to dry them on my shirt. She then slid down to her knees and placed her lips on my fifteen inch dick. She slid her mouth over the head but wouldn't take it all in. It was like an erotic torture. The after what seemed an eternity she took my beef in her mouth. She managed to take the full fifteen inches in one swallow gagging just abit. I felt the head of my dick going down her throat which was a lot like entering a pussy. I came about a minute later after one of the best blowjobs of my life. After I came she stood up in front of me. I could hear her heavy breathing and could tell that she was still stimulated as was I. I proceeded to lie her down on the utility cart and instructed her to lift her her skirt. I heard her comply and I readied for the wildest fuck of my lifetime. I stepped forward and entered her little piece of paradise with full thrust. She screamed with pain as my fifteen inches stretched her out a bit, but after a few more strokes the screams of pain turned to screams of pleasure and xtc. As my dick pounded her cunt my hands found themselves fondling her big tits. After a while longer she began to get more excited and started to thrust into my cock enabling maximum penitration. On one particulairly deep thrust I felt her vaginal walls clamp around my dick like a vice. When she began to climax her back arched into the air and she began to make hissing noises. I wish the lights could have been on so I could see those tit spinting out as she clawed the air. Then her back droped and she relaxed. I had been effected by her emotional climax and climaxed myself. I emptied load after load into her until I thought if I keep it there much longer she'll explode. I withdrew my semihard dick from her and I was still comeing.The white cream spilled from me onto the ground. After a couple more seconds it stopped.
"Was it that good?" I asked.
"Even better." She replied as she panted for air.
After I cought my breath I switched on the light to see her fully dressed sitting on a stool. My pants where still off and hereyes widened with disbelief.
"So that's the thing that nearly ripped me in two. How long is it anyway." She said.
"Fifteen inches." I replied. She was impressed.
"Well I should be going now." She said as she got up.
She walked over to me, bent over and planted a kiss on the head of my dick. Her red lipstick had stained it a bit but here was a definite kiss mark right on the head.
"He thanks you." I said. She looked up with a smile then kissed me passionately on the lips. As we kissed she slipped a piece of paper into my shirt pocket. I later found out that it had her name and telephone number on it. We stopped the kiss and she walked out. I dressed and followed. When I reached the bar room she was gone and I took my place at my table and ordered round three.
