they sure did a number on both the words "democrat" and "liberal" when dubya 'won' his elections. Most effective demonetization of any idea or word since... ummm... scare tactics... scare tactics... lets see... I'm thinking Anslinger and his war on marijuana, is the first thing that comes to mind. Does anyone have anything more recent? I mean, that's the 1930's we're talking about... give or take a few years I believe.
I feel that no matter how well the prediction based on previous algorithms, if chosen randomly with no thought to what you will be picking, this should be the outcome every time. It assumes you will pick something based upon your previous choice. Obviously, this is an easy system to beat once you figured it out, but I was just clicking randomly. Against random, you'll see nice, even numbers. Or odds, depending on when you want to show your score.
They say it is a very sad state of affairs because the practice of taking advantage of poor and undereducated people is all too common. This particular person teaches English and states that they are blown away by the lack of fundamental grammar and even spelling skills. That being said, if you don't have a command over language, how will you ever understand that these schools are in fact, *for* profit (for someone at least) and they do not have people's best interests in mind?
The best suggestion I give when I come across someone who goes to one of these is "STAY AWAY AND GO TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHERE YOU CAN TRANSFER CREDITS IF NEEDED!!!" I don't say it in all caps but make it very obvious that it is not only the cheaper way to go, you will also become more educated, and of course, the fact you can transfer creds, which you cannot from many of these schools stated in the article.
As VM's are virtualized and taking snapshots of them becomes so easy, why would you bother troubleshooting anything when you can just restore to a snap that is an hour old? Better than the server being down and spending who knows how long trying to figure out what's wrong.
Obviously employers (if they wake up to this) will realize "Hey, I can pay a kid to restore snapshots" instead of "Hey... I need to hire this super expensive IT veteran."
behind your keyboard? It is only your stupidity that placed you in the hands of criminals.
A friend of mine was wanting to get rid of something today and knows very little about the internet... I asked for the details and he had wayyyy too many people calling him in under an hour. He called me back and said "MAN!! TAKE THAT AD DOWN!!! I'M TIRED OF THE REDNECKS CALLING ME!!!"
Considering I live in one of the largest cities with church to square mile ratio in the country... I really don't think I'm that far off. And, yes, its the midwest. I'll give you another hint - the only state to vote all red vs Obama. The nurse at my doctor told me this 'joke while I was getting my weight taken... "What does a farm and the white house have in common? They both have a spade and a ho."
Now would you trust that doctors office very much? The only consolation I have is that they keep paper records because they don't know how to use computers.
You will always have uneducated and educated people. And you will have educated people who aren't computer savvy. This means you will end up with a percentage (probably based on region - I feel sorry for people in the midwest) of doctors who offices are completely unsecure and all it would take is a patient walking in with the appropriate thumb drive at the appropriate time.
BAM! Access to the doctor's office is now at hand and anyone's records can be had.
Very few people who would do this sort of activity in other situations are doing it for fun. I can only think doing this to make money would be something that would be a scheme, to mostly blackmail people of a region with the largest percentage of ignorant and uneducated people. Who, ironically enough, are going to be sick more and thus go to the doctor more... But how, or why, to exploit these people who have nothing to give is beyond me.
But rich people also go to doctors from time to time as well... so what then?
was in the author's mind when he wrote this? It let down so much compared to all of the other COD's.
I really feel where the author is coming from because of all the games you hear that "are awesome" on the consoles. You try them on the PC and they are just horrible. Jittery lag, poor graphics, horrendous controls, and the list goes on and on.
An educated fool is more foolish than an uneducated one.
Can't remember where I read that, but it chimes true. Lord help you in an argument against someone who has been brainwashed to think they know their god's honest truth.

I tend to see that very popular movies (especially new releases) are not up for streaming.
You have to know that Netflix realizes they are saturating the internet, and perhaps they are doing us a favor by biting the bullet when it comes to paying a little more to ship... Maybe... I'd say they are one heck of a non conformist company if this is the case... But i'm going to say its pure laziness until I hear otherwise.
So first of all - please do not say her name - she is like Beatleguice and will continue to stick around as long as you talk about her.
However, I have to chime in and say that I believe this to be an absolute travesty of our justice system... Thousands of people get their email's "hacked" daily, so why would we give one person special treatment? This is democracy inaction.
I'm still up in the air about which one is the anti-christ... Oprah or Miss Alaska... remember, don't say her name!!!
... by Jimi Hendrix. I'm in my early 30's, and personally, I think the women from the late 60's are just plain gorgeous. Not hyped up, no plastic surgery, just a bit of makeup... But maybe i'm just one of those ala natural guys when it comes to women.
I'm going to have to go back and watch the early seasons - they sound good. I guess its probably because I sort of look like Eccleston and can relate to him more, or perhaps he's *my* first doctor, which accounts for him being my favorite, even though Tennant was a great doctor. I'm almost done with season 5, and while Smith does a decent job, he seems... Young? Something like that...
Also, how do I see your sig? I just read/. and don't really pay attention to the bells and whistles.:shrug:
I just started watching Doctor Who when Christopher Eccleston (9th doctor) was the doctor. With David Tennant, I was leery at first, and you could say I just didn't like. But after 2 episodes, he "fit" the part. I'm not quite sure how you refer to that sort of expected change.
With Matt Smith, it just seems... wrong. I'm too lazy to search out some doctor who form to watch some flame wars. But has this sort of "change" not sat right with the public before? If so, do some of you hard core fans already know that Smith isn't going to be around much longer?

That doesn't even make sense... Yes, I know.

The article noted affecting a graphics rendering engine... There are lots of custom games on starcraft 2 and a LOT of players making their own maps...
