In California, the police can only arrest the "dominant" (physically stronger) partner, regardless of who was the initiator or the aggressor. So a woman can attack her husband, and he goes to jail.
This is not true for California as a whole. It may be a local policy in your county, but I am dubious. In Santa Clara County, police must make an arrest where there is evidence of felony, but that does not mean that they will arrest the stronger partner. The officer will arrest the perpetrator of the felony. (Pg13 of SCC Domestic Violence Protocol)
My anecdote is an incident where a 6'2", 200lbs husband was cut by his 5'4", 130lbs wife. Officers arrived on the scene and arrested the wife, even to the objection of the husband. The blood on the husband's head was evidence of a felony. They were obligated to make an arrest. They arrested the non-dominant partner.
I give my information to Google willingly. The NSA, on the other hand, takes my information from me without recourse. The gap between the two entities is wide enough that I feel vastly more animosity towards the NSA.
Cost of Unleaded Regular gasoline in 2003 was avg. $1.50 (http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?ap), and is $3.60 in 2013. We can likely expect similar rises in price over the next 10 years.
You might want to run your cost calculations with a higher value on the price of gas to see a more accurate picture.
I sit about 4 feet away from a 50" 4K monitor. It works for me.
One thing to keep in mind is that the further away you place the monitor, the more DPI scaling you're going to want. The font gets pretty small at these resolutions.
I have the Seiki 50" version of their 4K monitor. The 39 inch version shares the same limitations and benefits.
The quality of the picture produced by the monitor is all that I can ask for. Having 4K of usable desktop space at home makes me hate my tiny little 1440's at work. The best part of having 2160 vertical space is the sheer amount of code that I can see in each IDE. For some reason, tilting a normal monitor to stand in portrait mode bugs me. Too little horizontal space engenders its own type of claustrophobia, I guess.
The only problem with the monitor is the poor refresh rate at 4K resolutions. I can tease 120Hz at 1080p, so its great for gaming, but at 4K I am limited to 30Hz. The 30Hz refresh rate will either result in signifigant input delay, with desktop vsync enabled, or, with vsync disabled, will result in lots of tearing every time you update a large portion of the screen (scroll the screen or move a window, etc). I can't recommend the 30Hz versions of 4K monitors, unless you know what it's like.
I'd recommend that you turn your current display into a 30Hz display for a few days, see if you can stomach it, before buying a Seiki.
I'm using one of the 50" seikis right now. 30Hz is a little annoying (there is a slight flicker at the edge of my vision), but it is perfectly acceptable compromise in exchange for the sheer amount of desktop space I'm granted. The vertical resolution is key. 2100 pixels down without the annoyance of bezels? Yes, please.
This panel is capable of 120hz. There is a good business opportunity for anyone skilled in FPGA programming. Make a board capable of accepting multiple hdmi or displayport inputs to combine for 4k @ 60hz. Since the only competition to this set is currently 4x's the price, there is a lot of room for extra costs. Even adding several hundred dollars to the set will make it cost-competitive. Its times like this that I wish I had studied more electrical engineering rather than pure math..
GPA does definitely matter, especially for continuing one's education. A very close friend of mine desires more than anything to become a practicing physical therapist. Unfortunately, her undergrad grades are quite poor. During her undergraduate work, she thought (like you espouse) that GPA was not important. Her GREs are middling, and due to her GPA, no medical school is giving her a chance. It is rejection letter after rejection letter. I actually admire her tenacity. Its been more than two years and she is still applying and searching for a way to achieve her goal.
This is a bit of performance art and comedy using the internet and its social networking capabilities. Since it demonstrates a novel use of the internet, this type of thing would have been relevant content in the earlier days of slashdot. Now, however, it is just another type of bog standard performance art and probably doesn't belong here.
I suspect that this event will lead to legislation to increase surveillance powers for the intelligence gathering agencies. Any red tape that still exists which allows agencies to tap communications of suspects will be removed. Whether this event was perpetrated by foreigners or americans is irrelevant. For example, if it is a homegrown attack by some disturbed person, then the agencies will claim it could have been prevented if they were allowed to eavesdrop on all communication of former mental patients, and felons without warrant. Then we've got a law that states ISPs and telcos have to allow access to any agent who can show that the account holder is a former felon - which will end up meaning that anyone with the same name as a former felon is fair game for eavesdropping. If the attack was done by foreign elements, then we'll see calls for warrantless eavesdropping for anyone who has recently entered the country, or recently convicted felons (since nobody ever stands up for felons). Either way, we're all boned.
I believe the fine imposed by the government for not having private insurance coverage is what the justices are referring to as the tax. Think of it this way: Everyone is required to pay this new healthcare tax; but, if you have a private health care plan, you get an exemption for that tax.
But in this hypothetical unregulated free market, the company doesn't have to prove those compounds are safe. When you're the only company offering the life-saving treatment, you can do what you want. "You want our drug? You take our untested obfuscation poisons with it or you die!"

But the rest of your office mates desperately wish that you would.

This is only a problem because you are 22 years old..
Scale up the DPI. Even relatively young eyes need the fonts scaled on these.

The reason is that Diebold was responsible for the count.
