Basketball doesn't make money either. "Let's just take a look at two schools, my own Holy Cross and big-time power North Carolina to highlight the flaws. According to the article, the Holy Cross basketball team racked up $1,549,329 in expenses while generating an identical amount in revenue and therefore exactly broke even.".
"They blame a system that favors research over teaching and vocational training over liberal arts".
"The second reason to go to college is get a good liberal arts education."
I'm not saying get rid of liberal arts. They're great. I loved taking them when I got my BSME. I'm probably going to sneak into a few when I go back for my masters. But there is no reason every decent sized school needs to be graduating even 20 theater majors a year. Hurray, you spent 4 years and $50k to learn to do theater. Now what? Most highschools require you to have a teaching degree too. So now you're limited to off broadway and the such. Something tells me that there isn't a huge demand (at least not enough to match supply).
The most successful liberal arts major you'll ever meet was most likely one of your liberal arts professors.
We NEED to be focusing more on vocational training. The world needs ditch diggers. The world also needs mechanics, electricians, welders. We need to quit making high schools force someone who would be an excellent mechanic into going to college 'just because'. Too many parents push their kids into college thinking either "I'm successful, they have to go to be successful too." or "I want my kid to go to college because I didn't to get rich".
Personally I've liked what I read about other countries where they sort of guide you into a track early in high school. I'm sure it's not perfect and they get the track wrong, but it's a ton better than graduating 10,000 students a year from a decent sized education, 50% of which have a degree that is more or less 100% useless. WTF does an "Art Appreciation" major do?
I wish I could go back to my high school and give a swift cock punch to my guidance counselor that told me I couldn't take welding because I was college bound. There is so much stuff I'd love to make. Thankfully my dad taught me wood working and home repair and I learned to solder in an internship.
My Parents are now on facebook. As are all of their friends, which is great for them and reconnecting (VS something like classmates.com). However when they let anyone register it turned it into Facebook's own Eternal September. "Likes" and "Groups" are thankfully replacing the stupid forwards that people send out.
I'd say 1/4 of LameBook and FailBook posts are because you friended a parent and they commented on stuff. The groups are nice, but a pain to setup as are controls of who can see what. I want an entire sandbox (without the pain of having to create an entire separate account).
You bet your ass I'm going to be looking for the next best thing, as are any college students that would have fit the original Facebook demographic. My facebook page is going to stagnate as I move on just like my MySpace page did when I moved to FaceBook as did my Geocities page when I moved to MySpace.
Exactly. Say a very good artist makes $50/hour. Cost to his company (Health insurance, his desk, power to his desk, 401k, taxes) is roughly double that: $100/hour.
If one of these new duodeccore processor computers is $12k. As soon as it saves the user from 120 hours of rendering, it's paid for itself. I can easily see someone hitting that in a year. Between opening a 20MP RAW to saving, to applying filters, etc.
Now these machines aren't going to be used for just a single year. Figure 3 year life span, at which point it's resold for $2,000 and the user is upgraded to the viginticore.
The 'machine' cost $10,000. They can subtract depreciation from taxes. Saved countless hours (one second at a time) of their artists.
/ These numbers are made up to be round. I have no clue what graphic artists make, so don't get on my case about that. Adjust numbers accordingly.//I also don't know Latin. I just copied wiki.
This is either a lie or something isn't being told about it. They have a TON of 'flat rate' boxes. The boxes are even free. As much weight as you can stuff into them for a damn low price.
I'm betting she wanted delivery confirmation, insurance, etc
Yes I have. And for people that don't want to mess with command line stuff, it's a decent GUI to numerous open source projects LDAP, DarwinStreamingServer, Apache, etc.
So turn it on when needed, but I wouldn't say it's a waste of electricity, considering it's already paid for.
Apple has done a great job of making XGrid platform independent. If you code with Xcode it'll speed up your compile times. If you do any video rendering, it'll speed that up.
Or toss OS X server on it and use it as a home server (if you continue to use OS X) or Debian
20 years? I run ZFS now. Every photo I've ever taken is at least 4 places: ZFS Raid 1. ZFS Raid 2 (With copies set to 2). On my MacBook Pro. Sync'd to my online host.
Most photos are on facebook too.
However, if I died tomorrow... I guess I have 1 family member that may be able to recover them.
Now it just needs to incorporate a Recaptcha Lite to improve accuracy.
Maybe something on the web interface when it doesn't recognize a word you can correct it.
[Given the success of the Cow Clicker on Facebook, maybe turn it into a facebook game. Tell people they're only allowed to correct words every 6 hours. If they want to correct more words, they'll have to pay for it. Add friends and correct more words to level up!]
Read the BBC. When I was in India watching the BBC was refreshing. They reported on news around the world. Had in depth investigations and stories. A stark contrast to CNN and the 'OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW' lets look at twitter for a minute...
I bought a Unibody in late 2008 to replace my Gen 1 Intel MBP (Early 2006). Side by side the difference is night and day with the screens. Especially doing photo editing.
Knowing the Dvorak keyboard makes 'hard' passwords rather easy. The Cat in the Hat = Yd. jay cb yd. day (Typed in QWERTY on a Dvorak Keyboard) Kjd iak gl kjd jake (Typed in Dvorak on a QWERTY keyboard).
Toss in random letter sequences a and hard passwords aren't 'hard' .
The trick is to angle them so that you're not looking directly at them. Take a mirror and place it in the same place that you use your laptop. At the right angle, you're going to blind yourself with the mirror. Tilt the mirror down and all the back light will hit you in the chest.
Once I realized this I had no problems with my glossy MacBookPro and I can't stand going back to matte as it looks like the whole screen is dirty.
It doesn't take much just a few degrees and it only doesn't affect how the screen looks.
My senior class had 92 people in it. There weren't any "nerds" other than myself. I wasn't into D&D or other games. Why in God's name would I spend my college career doing stuff that other people in HS thought I should enjoy?
I had a perfectly normal college career while still having fun. I had friends from all different walks of life and was friends with quite a few different cliques. The only difference between HS and College people was the IQ level. And if my friends that liked watching football were watching football, I would be found elsewhere. But if they were trying to find the resonance frequency of the dorms HVAC (eeeeevil), I'd be right there with them.
I didn't resort to anything. While ACs method would work. I didn't wear all black. I didn't talk about visions. I didn't get my fists bloody. I just had one paper on a topic and I liked to blow things up on my farm. (Who doesn't?).
Most people have no clue how to debate or what a "devil's advocate" is. The second I state a fact or a side on a subject. They instantly that must be my position on the subject. My back to back papers in one class one Pro-Abortion and one Pro-Life confused the hell out of some of them.
And my social skills are just fine, I just had to find people that were worth being social with. College was great. Adventure clubs, gamer clubs, MUGs and LUGs. I have a low tolerance for certain subjects. I have no care for American Football, baseball or basketball (I prefer Rugby) nor big trucks or muscle cars. (I prefer German cars). However this seemed like the only topics that my classmates were able to discuss. That and getting drunk.
If you dropped a human into a monkey cage at the zoo would you blame him for not picking up on the social clues and structure?
And once, once someone pranked my car by covering it in catsup, mustard and vasoline. (Ha ha!). I retaliated by taking 2 lugnuts and loosening the remaining on one of their tires. (Right, just a prank!).
Playing the borderline psycho route is also good. (Although these days you'll probably end up on some watch lists.) I can't really point to any single thing I did nor do I remember why they actually thought I was. (I guess critiquing what previous school shooters did wrong in an English paper was one thing...)
But when I skipped the senior photo in the gym, I guess one of my friends told me some people were joking I was in the rafters with a rifle.
Top of my class, BSME, going back for my MSME. I think >90% of my class is still at home drinking at the one bar in town and partying like they're still seniors. It's sad, but if they're happy, what ever.
So? If they're both 18 then they are both able to enter into contracts.
Sad to hear about the statute of limitations, but it would be quite entertaining if this guy could reproduce the original documents... and he in fact did own 84% of FaceBook.
Slashdot Mirror
No, they don't. The ONLY thing they do is raise enrollment. The year after a team wins a championship or does well, they've seen enrollment rise.
UConn lost roughly $280,000 in football, according to the numbers. Only three BCS programs lost more — Syracuse, which lost $835,000, Wake Forest ($3.07 million) and Duke ($6.72 million). Rutgers, which spent $19.07 million on its football program, was the only other school to fail to make a profit, although the Big East school broke even.
Basketball doesn't make money either.
"Let's just take a look at two schools, my own Holy Cross and big-time power North Carolina to highlight the flaws. According to the article, the Holy Cross basketball team racked up $1,549,329 in expenses while generating an identical amount in revenue and therefore exactly broke even.".
And as a whole, only 19 D1 Football schools were in the black.
The summary started out good but:
"They blame a system that favors research over teaching and vocational training over liberal arts".
"The second reason to go to college is get a good liberal arts education."

If only Apple would finally get around to inventing something cool for OS X to do that. It'd make it so much easier for the developer. Knowing Apple they'd probably make it so that it was really simple. Like a few lines of code.
It'd be even more awesome if they could make it open source so that other operating systems could have a chance to use it.
One can dream, right?
If only someone could invent a device that would simulate the human finger, but had a finer point.
It'd be even better if it was in the shape of a pen, because that's what most people are used to holding.
You could call it... iMagicBicPenPointer.

What waste? If there is something coming out of the plant that is radioactive, then it's not waste and can be refined and used as fuel.
Ideally you'd have uranium coming in and lead going out. But stupid laws prevent that stateside.

Apple-B. /Developer/Examples/Sketch/build/Debug/Sketch.app
You don't think something that came with Developer Tools came as just an app did you?
Also means you have to have installed the examples. This is from the latest version of XCode on Snow Leopard.
You mean like C/Objective-C and Grand Central Dispatch?
It's open source and has been ported to work with FreeBSD and Apache.
Doesn't care if it's a CPU, GPU, 10xGPUs etc.
You're saying ears are like a series of tubes?
So your children have the internet in their heads?
