At my HS we extended this a bit more, based on a few teachers we knew:
Those who can, do. Those who can't teach. Those who can't teach, administrate. Those who can't administrate teach English. Those who can't teach English teach Gym.
I still doubt that dogs can understand grammar, since, even though you are telling them to "fetch" "roll over" and "sit", they are merely responding to a very specific noise that you make. You couldn't carry on a conversation with a dog.
Last I heard the average human had a vocab of around 2500 words or less.
Like others have said, the number is probably far higher, but certain minimalistic constructed languages are designed to be as complete as possible with very little vocabulary. Many claim to be below 1000 words. However, ones like Basic English tend to use idioms (bad!). Not that it can't be done -- IIRC the average human only uses around 2500 words on a given day.
Sempron sounds rather hard for English (myself included) speakers to pronounce. They'll probably say "semperon" instead, which seems more reasonable anyway since semper is Latin for always. Or they could just be blunt and call it "AllwaysOnium"

I would think that brewing yourself a nice cup of $YOUR_FAVORITE_TEA every few hours might be good, since it has less caffeine and, depending on how long you let it steep, you can control how much caffeine it has. But then again, I'm only a high school senior and don't work in an office environment.
Also note that, while tea leaves have more caffeine by mass than coffee beans, the resulting liquid has less.
It has been a while since T have studied the Bible (for various reasons...), but I would think that any "mark of the beast" would be global, not simply US centric. Since Slashdot is global, maybe your Slashdot UID is this universal identification. You didn't elaborate much on your credit card peeve, but remember that they are not at all universal. RFID, while it can identify every item ever manufactured, would probably not ever be a government mandate for citizens. The politicians do too much infighting and there would be too many religious people against, at least now, a system that nobody is prepared for. Even so, it is still not global and the US can barely subdue Iraq. The UN has no real power, so that cannot be this one-world government.
Sorry, I'm sleepy, so none of this may make sense.

Our school's, and the College Board's, solution is to not give any credit if the student doesn't show any work. So, you have to know not only how to set up the problem, but also how to solve it. The only way a calculator helps is when you actually evaluate something, which, if you do it right by cancelling out all the extra variables, should be relatively simple to solve in your head.
Please note, I am only in AP Calculus (Calc I). Our teacher only lets us use calculators on tests when you have to evaluate something funky that nobody ever taught us to do.
I bought my 89 sometime around October/November, and I've had no problems. Mine runs that version of AMS and neither mine or my friends has crashed, and my friend likes to punch in random equations when he gets bored and then factor or integrate them.
That's how I feel. Even artists that are similar sound very wrong together. You just have to get it right for a good playlist and, while random works sometimes, a good playlist is better. Any album by Pink Floyd should not be broken up, although I've broken this rule before. I usually know tracks better by their tracknumber than their name and that's how I usually search for them.
This is a playlist I rather like: The Goo Goo Dolls - Hate This Place The Who - Baba O'Riley (Teenage Wasteland) The Wallflowers - One Headlight The Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon Matchbox Twenty - If You're Gone Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside Nickelback - Someday 3 Doors Down- So I Need You Joe Hisaishi - Will To Live (From the Princess Mononoke OST) Coldplay - Everything's Not Lost Third Eye Blind - How's It Gonna Be? Pink Floyd - Brain Damage Pink Floyd - Eclipse
For the purposes of math, it is irrelevant what the evaluated, and many times approximate, answer is. Only engineers and physicsist and people who have to interact with the real world need to worry about evaluating the expression. And with a lesser calculator, like the Ti-83 ('89's are too smart), it shows that you didn't just ask the almighty calculator.
In english, regular plurals are made by adding an -s on the end of a word, or -es if it ends in an s already. I suppose you want us to learn Latin just so we can use "medium" correctly in all cases. Maybe you want us English speakers to pronounce it correctly and spell it "MEHdyoom" and "MEHdyah". (Please excuse me, I'm using Spanish-like pronunciation and emphasis). Formula would be "FORmoolah". You know, just in case you happen to meet Virgil, you can prounounce the few Latin words you know correctly.
There is no problem pronoucing and declining an English word (medium) like an English word.
I know, IHBT (I Have Been Trolled), but I've karma to burn.
You pronounce it as if it were a real word. In English, it is like han-cul-BRIF. It is really fun to say and sounds to me as if it was a sweet like peanut brittle. PV=nRT is fun to pronounce PIV-nert. All kinds of physics equations are fun to pronounce, like:
a = r(alpha) : a equals RAL-fa v = r(omega) : v equals ro-ME-ga x = r(theta) : x equals AR-the-ta (unvoiced th)
My friend and I were disappointed that the judges, who were probably tired, didn't let us demonstrate all our instruments could do. I didn't get to show off the range of my bass and my friend barely got to demonstrate that if you put a cap over the ends of the pipes, they are taken down an octave. We even memorized the twelfth root of 2 just so we could calculate intervals on an equal tempered scale since we didn't know "just tuning" intervals.
Your bass sounds much like mine, except that I just used.105in weedwacker cord for the E string. It didn't work well, but I found that (by ear and by tuner) plastic coated picture hanging wire starts out about 20 cents sharper when plucked than when it vibrates for a while. Being the guy I am, I chose very low volume over funky tunedness.
I learned it as "LEO the lion goes GER", where LEO stands for "Lose Electrons Oxidize" and GER is "Gain Electrons Reduce". However, my favorite mnemonic is HONClBrIF, for the diatomic molecules (H, O, N, Cl, Br, I, and F).
The pyramids took less time than at least a lifetime. For the Great Pyramid, "Construction took some 20 years." Add to your list the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I believe that it took hundreds of years to complete.
It would have been great if they had used something really fundamental to determine the length of a meter, like after we learned some quantum physics. Oh, and "The metre was originally defined in 1791 by the French Academy of Sciences as 1/10,000,000 of the distance along the Earth's surface from the North Pole to the Equator along the meridian of Paris..."

No, a tesseract is merely a 3 dimensional unfolding of a hypercube, in the same way you can unfold a 3D cube into a 2D, 6 square cross.

I'm surprised "gandalf" is not there. Everyone knows that it's the password of every other root account in the world.
You know what happens when you assume. You make an "ass" out of "U" and "me".

A specific Human Appeasing Hormone would really up the ante.
It already exists. It's called marijuana.
