And you're not going to get a degree in Mechanical Engineering with just "Art Appreciation" and "Dance Interpretation". I got my 3.48 (shakes fist at one teacher) taking graduate level courses my senior year because I ran out of interesting ME courses to take. Second, most resume's I've seen (I also recruit now) have a "Major" GPA listed along with an "Over All" GPA, even if it is lower.
This isn't highschool, you can't take what ever you want and get a rubber stamped degree, you have to follow a course selection (with a few electives).
And if I regret anything, it's not taking "Art Appreciation," college is a time expand your mind a bit. I regret not taking welding (I work on my car a lot) or glass blowing. I could have easily dropped an extra ME course or two and taken these.
It's not that hard, 1 A and 1 B is a 3.5 right there. Heck an A and a C is a 3.0. Most companies these days have a 3.0 minimum before they'll even look at your Resume/CV.
Maybe smart kids are less likely to be social and have friends so they aren't on Facebook? Why isn't the causation/correlation defined that way?
Why waste it under ground? I know it's a 'socialist' idea. But heat homes with it in the winter. Use it to generate free hot water for a whole neighborhood. Hell you could even charge for it (just make it cheaper than heating naturally).
As the price of energy goes up, the whole idea of individualism is going to have to end. Nearly every apartment building I see has an individual electric heat and individual AC units, while every office building has one massive AC unit on the top. I don't know how other universities do it, but Purdue has one massive boiler (powerplant), ever building on campus is heated and gets got water from this one central point for efficiency's sake.
Build a neighborhood around a data center (it's not like it's a NIMBY problem). Use the data center cooling system to heat the surrounding neighborhood. At worst, use the heat to run a sterling engine. (It's "waste" heat so it's not like you care about efficiency)
Because an open ended question would get a million different responses.
And having the user select a radio button would narrow the probability down to 1/X choices. And when you have a million bots, 1/x is more than enough to get your spam out.
I'd like to see a cheap recumbent that doesn't cost a grand. I'd love to just try one out to see if I like it.

Kidding aside, is this a 'nail' in the coffin of scalable Ruby? 5 years ago people were saying the same thing about PHP scaling but Facebook has done a rather nice job of making it scale. Twitter was supposed to be the poster child of how awesome Ruby and RoR was.
Difference is, Facebook is still using php, Twitter is going toScala.
Mplayer, XBMC (built on MPlayer). And Rars were (are?) the best way of distributing things over usenet or DCC. If a piece fails, you just get that piece. While it annoys me to no end that people still use it on bittorrent (since it's already chunked).
The XBMC guys already made a plugin after the last hulu change. It'll take a few hours and a new one will be made.
Especially if you SEND the user all the info they need, how hard is it to decode functions? There are crackers out there that take decoded assembly to figure out how to bypass DRM, what makes Hulu think their implementation will be any more difficult?
Women are coming up to you, in public, and complimenting your laptop and you're pissed because the language they're using is cute and adorable? Were you raised in a barn?
And the 'attention you want' is ANY. Just because you lack the social skills to turn a 'wow that laptop is cute' into a 'hey would you like to have dinner' doesn't mean some Metallica Stickers are going to fix it.
I was with my Dad and his dog and my Girlfriend at a rugby tournament this weekend. Every single woman that walked pass came up and started petting the dog. I told my girlfriend next year she wasn't invited and I was just going to bring the dog.
I already have some custom commands to search our internal LAN, our internal phone directory, google maps, etc.
I no longer use QS but just use Spotlight on my Mac. Both OSs have Ctrl-Space as the bind keys. Anytime I'm on a computer without them I feel lost like I don't know how to launch programs.
IN some states, the age of consent and child porn statutes have the same age limits.
For instance, a quick read of NV law shows the AOC to be 16. Child porn is defined as sexually explicit blah blah blah involving a person under 16. Federal law makes it a crime with a person under 18, but there may be some state line/interstate commerce nexus that needs to be fulfilled.
I didn't feel like looking at too many states, but found this same AOC/CP thing with NH-16/16.
Many states forbid distributing/exhibiting obscenity to people under 18, regardless of their AOC/CP statutes.
SO, excluding the feds, it's not a crime to have sex with a 16 year old or film it. But, she can't watch the tape afterward. It's a crime to allow her 16 year old friend to watch the act as it occurs, but not a crime to have her join. Neither of them can smoke a cigarette or have a beer afterward. If either one were to rob,beat,kill one of their fellow participants, they would be tried as an adult in every state in the country.

The barcode recognition is the biggest feature IMHO. Imagine the apps you could build with a good barcode recognition.
Scan a list of 'to buy'. Sort of a "Wedding registry" but how many times are you out and you see something that looks like a decent product but you want to check reviews? Scan a barcode, dump it into a Google docs document.
The biggest IMHO is "crowd sourcing" grocery lists. So you go to the store and scan in what you're going to buy, punch in the price and it gets added to a database. Use the GPS to determine the store.
Get a few hundred people checking prices and you'll have a fairly accurate database of prices. Then you go home, made a grocery list and have it calculate where the cheapest place to shop is.

Utorrent, which I dropped because of how bloated it is. Why GUI? rtorrent is the way to go.
What is this sex of which you speak?

And FYI, even though their site is down, ALL the videos are hosted on YouTube (and just embedded).

On youtube... using FLASH? Isn't this some sort of abomination against FOSS and the Linux Ideals?
A real "We're Linux" contest would have only released Ogg videos.

And now, someone actually wants to read the book...

Dear lord, yes I said it 100% seriously. Because in all my relationships a good sense of humor sucks. If I could date a vulcan I would.
It was said facetiously. She laughed and made a comment back. Mainly because after the nth girl that came over
