I've seen overblown punishment before in many cases, for example a few weeks ago a student being expelled and then arrested for wearing an NRA shirt...
Holy infringement of free speech, Batman! Can I assume that the school administrators and police involved were appropriately punished?
Anyways, lesson learned, now you have to go to a new school.
That is not a trivial consequence, especially considering that (at least around here) expulsions apply to the entire county-wide school system. It means your entire family would have sell the house and move, and potentially even change jobs.
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted -- and you create a nation of law-breakers -- and then you cash in on guilt."
You know how you tell the difference between engineers and non-engineers? Engineers are licensed. Until that happens for software, there is no such thing as a "software engineer" and no way to tell competent folks from Visual Basic idiots.
Any competent lender is going to provide you with a contract which spells out what happens when the loan ends, what happens if one or both parties terminate early, etc, and in T-Mobile's case, the loan is contingent on maintaining carrier service, and the remedy is full payment of the balance. Otherwise, people will just quit and get a $600 phone for the price of a $99 down payment.
You can't drop the T-Mobile service and just keep paying off the phone in $20 installments? I would have assumed you could... and I guess that must be what the AG is upset about.
What "if" is there? Even if you run the most leaakingist explodingist mutation causing nuclear reactor ever fired, you still are emitting zero CO2 compared to whatever else was providing energy that the nuclear plant now provides. Is CO2 caused global warming a crisis or not? If you really thought it was you be willing to accept ANY amount of localized pollution in exchange for not having a climate too hot to support life. So we can pretty obvious understand from you and other people's take on this that CO2 is actually of zero concern whatsoever.
Excuse me, but some of us here, such as myself, are sufficiently scientific (and pragmatic, and realistic) enough to realize both that fossil fuels are bad and that nuclear is a good solution at the same time!
Incidentally, I even realize that hydrogen and corn-based ethanol are dumb for fueling vehicles with, but I quite like biodiesel.
Oh yeah, and to really blow your mind: I support the first and second amendments! (Betcha didn't think that was possible, did you?!)
The modelers are grad students and probably in their 20s. The guy who's name goes first on the papers but who didn't do any real work might be dead, but the modelers will probably still be alive...
...unless Climate Change kills them first, of course! ; )
Oh, and FYI: the phrase "climate in the near term" is nonsensical. It's like trying to talk about an "average at a point" or something.
You seem to be confused: the Cadillac "fake 'vette" was the XLR, not the CTS-V. The CTS-V comes in sedan and wagon forms, which is a substantial advantage if you're into that kind of thing.
However, I agree: if you're considering a CTS-V coupe, then you're certainly better off with a Corvette (or maybe even one of the faster versions of the Camaro...).
The other thing that confuses the hell out of me is that we are so bent on preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons yet, NK has been working on this since the beginning of the Bush (duh-bya) terms and we have YET to take them very seriously. We are sort of taking them seriously but it's still nothing like what we do with Iran.
On the contrary: the US has allowed NK to have nuclear weapons precisely because it does take NK's army seriously, since it is actually capable of inflicting damage on something we care about (i.e., Seoul).
In contrast, Iran can't do shit so there's no downside to the US taking a hard line.

I am a meat popsicle.
Just FYI, Baconnaise (from the same company) is not good. I recommend using regular bacon and regular mayonnaise instead.
Blender and AutoCAD are completely different kinds of programs. Unless you can draw engineering plans in Blender now...?
Considering AutoCAD's licensing, if Autodesk created a Photoshop competitor you'd wish they'd let you have it for $50/month!
DRM, by definition, means that the owner [of the device] does not have control. This is always inherently a bad thing!
Including cars! (Your car's ECU is encrypted to try to prevent non-dealer mechanics from working on it.)
What about this XKCD link? Drano+aluminum foil and pressure cookers in the same article! And just look at the conclusion:
WTF, Randall?
And that rule against the employer may even get enforced, after you've spent thousands of dollars in court...

Obligatory Ayn Rand:
If the motivation is curiosity, it's science. If the motivation is bravado, it's not.
This girl's motivation seems to have been curiosity. Therefore, science.
The kid made a soda bottle pop in a field somewhat nearby a government building.

If you buy a good phone it'll be supported by Cyanogenmod, so yes. Or if you buy a Google Nexus, yes (hopefully).

Does NXT run on NeXT?
If you're going to that much trouble, why not just put the computer in the bathroom?

The other exception is if your sports car is old and/or British, has no roof, and you wear a flat cap while driving it.
I think non-rappers and non-senior-citizens are allowed to buy CTS-Vs...
Who's gonna buy the 1st-generation device if it doesn't have those things?

Isn't that their strategy of choice, historically speaking, anyway?
