Can someone explain the reason so many states do this day-by-day attendance accounting?
Shouldn't the budget for a school should be based on annual, or semi-annual plans?
If a kid doesn't show up, one day, the class still goes on, the lights are on, the building is heated, the teacher is paid... seems like a lot of make-work do to this level of accounting...

The AUD/USD parity is only in the last year or so (and just wait, I am sure the USD will get cheaper later...) However, that is not the whole story. I don't know if it is the case in AU -- but I know it is for many items in places like Canada... sometimes those price differences have to do with tariffs and such, so you might check if your government is pocketing the difference in MSRP.
Hey - I bet a lot of "real names" are not all the useful either... I have a facebook account. I have zero friends. Not my wife, my kids. Nobody (see definition of zero.)
I just staked out the claim on may name, and pretty much just said "Yes, this me. I don't use facebook."
Lately I have been barraged with incessant emails from Facebook "welcoming me back" or reminding me how many "friend requests I have" (more than zero). All of which I ignore. (Although I do log in every few months, just to keep my account alive.) Seems like desperation to me. Or maybe just IPO money being thrown at "marketing", whatever.
Maybe the photographs they wanted to use were copyrighted, not the artwork, per se... they were too lazy to take their own pictures? For a $180 book they should have the budget. Heck, I've been to many of those museums, I'd be happy to go back and take pix if they'd pay for the trip.
When you are making up stuff, you can make up whatever you want. If enough people believe it, viola! A religion is born.
Of course, when there is no objective Truth, after a while people will start making up their own stuff, so you'd better make blasphemy a serious crime or you will soon have competition on your hands, or worse yet, non-believers!
I have distinct memories of a great rat dish - pan roasted with shallots. And a nice escargot appetizer with a white wine - berry liquor mix for dessert.
So, you own only really old cars, or maybe a Ford, (Fisker, or Tesla)? Chrysler is largely an Italian company now. Surly not a GM? One could argue that GM cars are the least American of all, after the politicized (rule of law? Pfft, badges, we don't need no stinking badges!) bankruptcy results there.
Maybe there is something else on this list you recommend, for those who want to "buy American".
determining what the "fair" price is for anything... can only happen by using something called "the market". Setting prices by any other means always fails.

If they are MALE virgins, you need to be worried about getting it up yours.
FTFY
I don't think I'm giving away the store when I tell you the bits were '0' and '1'.
Bad News: There will be a test.
Good News: it is true / false.
Let's see how your scan-tron scores... R.I.P.
Your tin-foil hats will finally be effective!
So, any group that calls themselves something... it's ok for everyone else to call them that too.
Gotcha.
This is Europe we're talking about - just call it cheese and you are good to go!
The pricing is set to create excellent profit margins.
heh - "They'll be pouring over ever ounce of data they can collect on this spot." no pun intended? (see "poring" vs "pouring")

you can't sign away your legal rights
This would be clicking away your rights, that is totally different, and probably patentable.
Maybe there are only so many bad guys to go around... and they are not so good at math.
If "the terrorists" send 50 to the USA and 50 to Australia, then the 18x ratio is just about right.
Prolly not, but just sayin...
Just hack into their network and edit the course descriptions to suite.
Preferably just before they go to press with the school course catalog (if they still do the whole dead-tree thing).

Any other non-user users out there?
On the other hand, this is probably just a hoax. Nothing to see here, please move along. (no pun intended, really)

Let's hope nobody dumps a bunch of frickin' lasers in the ocean too.
Time differences of 0.03 seconds, when measuring human activities, is an almost random amount.
Let's just say all of the athletes are special and give everyone a participation trophy.
Paraphrasing, you are saying "it will never work". Fine then.
If it is not worth it to you, don't do it.
Negativism negated.
Sorry, for you, I meant "ms-read".
