Why were you taking courses that you already understood?
The course was probably a prerequisite; or a general ed requirement; or a core requirement for whatever degree op was getting. Pretty much to get credit toward that degree I suppose.
Except you do, in certain circumstances. Usually involving child pornography laws in some fashion. And possibly other cases involving bizarre twisted applications of anti-terror laws.
"Wait, Dad, you mean you used to have to move your arm to change the channel on the TV?"
Video Game Boy #2 (John Thornton): "This is a video game." Video Game Boy #1 (Elijah Wood): "I got it working." Video Game Boy #2: "My dad taught me about these." Marty: "It is Wild Gunman." Video Game Boy #2: "How do you play this thing?" Marty: "I'll show you kid. I'm a crack shot at this." Video Game Boy #1: "You mean you have to use your hands?" Video Game Boy #2: "That's like a baby's toy."
This might help. 12 weeks unpaid maternity/paternity leave (no paid leave for either, typically) in the US.
By contrast, in Finland, it is possible to have unpaid maternity/paternity leave until the child is 3 (and about 105 day paid maternity leave at 80% pay).
Sweden is the best at 480 days paid maternity/paternity leave (390 days at 80% pay, 90 days flat rate).
"Breast ligaments"? Are you fucking shitting me? Breast ligaments? And modded up as well. I know that Slashdotters aren't supposed to know a lot about women, but I'd hope they'd at least have read an anatomy textbook. Breasts are sacks of adipose tissue. Fat, if you will.
For fuck's sake, people, the credit card guys haven't actually bought a law concerning hereditary debt slavery yet, and this guy thinks that it is already on the books?
He must have thought it was a student loan for a moment.
If we're lucky, a crotchety old 5 digit poster will come along and say how different things were 6 months before I joined than they are today.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
Well, there's also the problem that stupid little things (like pissing against a building, or taking naked photos of [i]yourself[/i] under 18) can earn you the "sex offender" label for life.
It's more likely than you think. A 15 year old girl charged with "juvenile child pornography" for...... taking nude pictures of herself with her cell phone, and sending them to her classmates! Furthermore, those classmates may be charged with possession of child pornography, it probably won't matter if they solicited it or not.

People who jump to conclusions based on heresay often go on to harm humans.
My thoughts exactly.

FIDO! Here boy! Daddy's got a surprise for you...
So that's how FidoNet will come back?
World hunger will be solved by Product Y, which will also be able to read Excel spreadsheets and shoot deadly laser bolts from its nipples.
You can say that again. (NSFW)
Ahhh spite. What isn't it good for?
Absolutely nothing.

For example refer to this.
Damn. I should have modded you up instead of posting this quote. I didn't notice your post.

I believe the parent post was referring to Cooper's ligaments.

Op was referring to the term luser.

I was going to, but I was stuck trying to figure out how to get my couch out of the stair well.
Remember, you need to pivot the couch.
You could say they're getting upgraded Nydus Canals.
For example.
We had those in Quake.
Called a railgun.
Oh. I thought it was called the Lightning Gun.
And it still gets modded redundant, even though it's the third post in here. Tough crowd.
the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords.
I see, but what about The Burger King?
How do you kill that which has no life?
Not to mention the various types of magneto-optical media.

However, do they learn at a geometric rate?
