I have a list like that. Same companies on it, actually. I also have a list of states I would never live in, based on their hateful and/or idiotic policies (Texas, Kansas, Indiana, etc.). My concern is that eventually there will be no place for me to live and I'll have to live there with no electronics.
I misread that first as "I have a $320 MSI netbook and a cheap date palm". Somehow sitting under a date palm and browsing the internet seems very appealing compared to winter in the UK.
Well, I misread that as "cheap palm date" and thought, yeah, that's pretty common on Slashdot.
Hasn't this been known since the beginning of time?
Since just after the beginning of time, actually. You'll notice that some of the researchers were from the Max Planck Institute. The next paper in the series is "Social Networking Among Bosons During the Inflationary Epoch."
I'd pretty much agree with this. The trend of University outsourcing is the result of symptoms caused by bad management. As you describe, the management will have become bloated and influenced by consultants with deep conflicts of interest.
At the university where I work, they outsource our Web paystubs. They outsource our W-2s. I mean, how hard is it to write an application that generates W-2s from payroll information? For that matter, why can't the ERP system they paid hundreds of millions of dollars for do those simple things? Such things are incomprehensible and very frustrating to technical professionals.
(my kid's teachers won't allow citing it, for example)
Good. It's real simple. Encyclopedias are not sources. They are where you go to get an introduction on a topic and leads to sources.
It's not quite so simple. For elementary and middle-school students, encyclopedias are sources. A 4th grader writing a 2-page report on Leonard Bernstein isn't going to read an entire biography. The previous poster's point--and the same rule has been true for my children as well--is that Wikipedia in particular cannot be cited, while Britannica, etc. can be.
There's an art to reading graphic novels, and knowing how to read them. To analyze the frames for relative action to the story and so on. I for one have never been as good at understanding comics as I have traditional literature.
I agree. My 13 year-old son can read a graphic novel and tell me the story in great detail. When I look at one of his books it's just a bunch of random explosions and women with bizarrely large breasts.
Well, you have to be 13 to have a Facebook account. They have Facebook accounts. So they must be 13, and hence teenagers, even if they're only 10 and 12. Seems perfectly clear to me.
I like to be modded up as much as the next person, but Insightful? Jeez, I was trying for Funny.

The first question that occurred to me is whether she even has rights to the piece. If MySpace has one of those all-your-rights-are-belong-to-us TOS, she might not be in a position to bring a copyright claim at all.
Well, I don't know about all the others, but I know Rev. Jack Robinson, who began construction of the current church, and I'm confident he's not Satan.
They're not completely separate. It's just that with region locking the DRM comes conveniently pre-installed on your DVD player. No need for root kits and other such unpleasantness.

It's the dolphins making their plans to leave.
Let's see how it is implemented before we make that kind of complaint.
You must be new here.

Yes, and what do the powered license plates display when they break?
The blue license plate of death?
Btw, does anyone know what happened to the guy who sued God?
Let's just say that if you have a spare fan lying around he'd really appreciate your giving it to him.

It's eating a Milky Way the size of a galaxy and it stays slim? Must have a terrific metabolism.
And those secretaries were much sexier than any computer hardware.
Sexier than computer hardware? I don't think so. Ye Gods, man, think before you post such nonsense here.

What do the goats eat once they've finished the kudzu?
Ask Africa. They eat everything. Then you get desert. Then come the sandworms. Nice, you've doomed us all.
No, no, George Clooney will take care of the goats. I'm not worried.
Wow, I guess OpenOffice.org really is the answer.
Chinese != Japanese, you crazy racist.
We Chinese love Sudoku, you insensitive clod!
Actually the topic is the subject of research and the blog below quotes some book that says Microsoft is at 1/2000 lines of code.
If some blog quotes some book that makes some claim about Microsoft being worse than Linux, that's good enough evidence for me!

Busg happen.
See? Case in point.
Imagine if the Bard's estate could screw around with people like this.
That's the direction we are headed.
Especially bad since in this case we need to be able to say "A plague o' both your houses."

What you're missing is that it isn't a computer science or robotics project.
Well, I don't know about all the others, but I know Rev. Jack Robinson, who began construction of the current church, and I'm confident he's not Satan.
His real problem is that none of his emails have attachments.
