As a system administrator in a high school with about 1,000 students, I can say in short: No way and this post totally misses the mark.
First and foremost, anything that is going to distract a student in class and is not educationally related will be blocked in school. Simple as that. Teachers have enough to manage in class or outside of class during normal school hours without having to deal with social media intruding into their work.
In regard to sexting and using Snapchat over traditional communication, I have not seen an observable difference in the frequency of issues pre and post Snapchat sexting. There are plenty of ways to save Snapchats that students know know to do, including such low-tech ways as taking photos of the phone displaying the message. OP doesn't consider that these images are sometimes sent to many individuals initially by the person who took the images. By that point, one of the students would most likely alert a school administrator. I'd say a larger indicator of when this would be a school issue is how many individuals it was sent to initially.
In another article about this states that NYC replaces 8,000 signs a year anyway due to wear and tear and has until 2018 to finish.
From the article:
The additional cost to the city, if any, will be "marginal" because it receives a steady stream of state funding for routine sign repairs and replacement, DOT spokesman Seth Solomonow said.
The life of a typical sign is about a decade, so most of the city's signs would be replaced in the next few years anyway, Solomonow said.
They didn't follow federal regulations on road signage, but are fixing them now as part of regular maintenance.
The population would need to be more than 2 to resurrect a species, it would need to be a Minimum Viable Population (MVP) size, substantially larger than 2.
I would imagine a large part of the $10 million would be startup costs. Once a production was created, it would be comparatively cheap to continue to make more of the same or others of the same species (the same way the first car in an assembly line could be thought of to cost millions in consideration of development costs).
It really doesn't matter if her name wouldn't be well-known. It only takes being recognized by ONE individual before word starts to spread to the rest of her community/office, and then like wildfire. Guess what happens next?
I'll bite - Yes the show flopped in its original run, but the circumstances in which this occured were more than stacked against it. The two-hour pilot (which explained many of the elements in Firefly's complicated world) was cut, episodes were shown out of order and were consistantly prempted by other broadcasts; it almost seemed like the powers at FOX wanted it to be canceled from the get-go.
Strong DVD sales of Firefly were part of the reason that Serenity was ever filmed in the first place. Personally I only caught one episode when it aired (and never thought much of it), but was hooked once seeing it as it should have aired on DVD.
Firefly DVD sales made the series popular and should be the baseline of its "success". Anyone who bought the series on DVD already was "bothered" to go out, spend $30-40 on the boxed set and then bring them home. Although movie sales were lackluster, it certainly wasn't a flop (actually $38m in 7 weeks not $25m as stated in the summary). What will make up for even those profits will most likely again be DVD sales, which Whedon stated in an interview.
Ok, I'll bite. The Center for Public Integrity reports that FCC officials had accepted nearly $2.8 million in travel and entertainment expenses over the past eight years, mostly from the telecom and broadcast industries they regulate. This extends to Michael Powell, who seemingly maintained the status quo. Recently however the department has changed its policies and is requesting more federal funds for travel to replace what was once paid for outside of the goverment.
However in this situation, there is money lost as this information facilitates identity theft and bogus credit card charges. Last time I checked, there was no direct money lost for each song that was downloaded via Kazaa.
The poster has the relative values of radiation values way off; for example alpha rays are far more harmful than x-rays (Health Physics Society)
Quickly paraphrasing this from Walker's Physics, Volume II:
The RAD (radiation absorbed dose) is the amount of energy that is absorbed by an irradiated, regardless of the type of radiation. One rad equals.01 joule per kilogram.
More information is needed to have an indication of the biological effect a certain dosage will produce. This is called the relative biological effectiveness (RBE). Some values:
The biologically equivalent dose for humans, the REM (radiation equivalent in man), is just the dose of radiation times the RBE. So alpha rays have at least ten times the relative biological effectiveness than X-rays.
Don't feel so frightened about Ashcroft's appointment, this was the only way he could get into office in 2000. President Bush was very nice to appoint him after he
lost a Missouri senate election to a dead challenger.
It is the case that Europe has DMCA style-laws, but RTFA, the author is based in Rosario, Argentina.

reveals that the site is based in the US so Xerox could sue to get the info pulled within US jursidiction, but they couldn't touch the author according to the DMCA because he's not in that jurisdiction. IANAL, so I wonder what legal channels Xerox could take in Argentina.
for making sure that I have job security. I've been a tech for a college campus for two years now and been worried that there were too few clients for our support staff. Thanks to you, on any given day, I have at least six clueless college students waiting in line for me to figure out why WeatherBug and their Bonzi buddy prevented them from actually doing work on the internet.
Or maybe the internet's just for making money on advertising, not for actual work?
P2P is a distributed network not directly controlled by the Sherman network. The power that indexes files on the network are supernodes, which are user's computers on the network (preventing the hosting problems that Napster had). The only ways then that Sherman could implement billing is to make it client-side or drastically change how the network functions.
Both options would push users from Kazaa to other apps on the same network, such as K++ or Kazaa lite (who wants spyware anyway?)

Lincoln was a smarter man than most people give him credit for. The war was going badly for the north, and it looked worse because the British were going to intervene.
The southern cotton crops which the British depended on had been halted as a result of many Southern men going off to fight the war, and a quick Southern sucession was determined to be the easiest answer to the problem. At this time, the British were anti-slavery, but they were willing to look the other way if it meant the much-needed cotton shipments would resume and they were willing to use their navy to prove the point.
Licoln, ever the adept manuverer, recognized this and changed the direction of the war, from state's rights to the basic freedom of slaves. The English were then kept out of the war, they did need the cotton, but did not want others to have the impression that they were pro-slavery once Lincoln changed what the war was about.

Excuse me, but real sysadmins (or programmers) use butterflies. (Obligatory)

Bruce Sterling has a good article on why this is a very bad thing
Quickly paraphrasing this from Walker's Physics, Volume II:
The RAD (radiation absorbed dose) is the amount of energy that is absorbed by an irradiated, regardless of the type of radiation. One rad equals .01 joule per kilogram.
More information is needed to have an indication of the biological effect a certain dosage will produce. This is called the relative biological effectiveness (RBE). Some values:
Heavy ions: 20
Alpha rays: 10-20
Protons: 10
Fast neutrons: 10
Slow neutrons: 4-5
Beta rays: 1.0-1.7
Gamma rays: 1
200-keV X-rays: 1
The biologically equivalent dose for humans, the REM (radiation equivalent in man), is just the dose of radiation times the RBE. So alpha rays have at least ten times the relative biological effectiveness than X-rays.
