Goosestepping comes with the whole military worship part of the (common) conservative ethos. You have to remember that goose-stepping was done as a showy march through towns and cities celebrating nationalism through the military.
All games that have the budget for graphics these days are targeted at console limitations. I can't really see any reason to spend that much on a graphics card, except if you're a game developer yourself.
Because that description actually has very little to do with actual republican policies instituted during republican administrations. As far as I can tell, that statement only describes their relationship to taxes and safety nets, and no other aspect of government.
It's CFLs, which notably have a lower total energy cost over the course of their lifetime, except in a small subset of light usages. The commonly asserted mercury thing would be a legitimate point, were it not for the comparable amount of mercury released into the environment through coal mining and burning to get the energy difference. It's no substitute for better energy sources, but it does have a net positive impact.
Cap-and-trade on CFCs really did fix the CFC crisis within a couple decades. It's a proven model, and we really shouldn't be dumping the amount of carbon(methane in particular) into the air industrially as we are. A healthy target that understands expected energy growth and incentives lowering it without doing so in a market destroying dramatic shift is good internalization of external costs. It's only the shillingest of shill economists who assert that cap-and-trade is unreasonable.
Sorry, that was perhaps a bit of an overextrapolation on my part. I apologize for putting words in your mouth, but after review, I stand by the rest of my statement.
2 of those things have an objectively measurable positive impact, 2 of them are actually junk. I'm sorry you're willing to dismiss functional ideas because you mentally associate them with "the wrong people".
The vast majority of the math on that exam I learned to do before high school with the single exception of polynomial long division(which was 10th grade). The greek and latin are both elementary, and I'd expect anyone who'd had 2 semesters of each to be able to handle it. While not trivial, you're talking about an entrance exam for what was unambiguously the greatest university of its era.
If you compare the difficulty of that exam to the SAT in underlying difficulty, I'd guess the SAT would be harder.
You know what annoys me most about the whole dihydrogen monoxide thing is that it should really be called "hydrogen hydroxide" if you want to be realistic about the chemical structure of this so-called "universal solvent"
I would love sciency things like being able to determine ozone levels, pH of the air, nitrogen/oxygen mix, alcohol detection. But that's why I'm not in charge of choosing sensors for phones.
Hanlon's razor is applicable here. There doesn't need to be a conspiracy to create morons on the part of the republican party when, as you so quickly acknowledge, the party itself is driven by moronic views.
Sentence 1 of your reply has no relationship to sentence 2, so I'm going to argue against what I imagine your point to be. This might be pointless:
If they aren't doing algebra, its going because they're stuck algorithmic bullshit like memorizing the quadratic equation, then they'll never make it to calculus, which was exactly my point.
No one needs to waste time learning to do square-roots by hand. No one needs to memorize multiplication tables. No one needs spend a ton of time on the algorithmic execution of concepts in math, except those developing re-usable algorithms to that effect(mathematicians and programmers). I can't remember the last time I did long-division by hand(except of course, of polynomials, but that hardly counts). Either precision matters little enough that I can approximate, or precision and accuracy matter enough that I wouldn't want anything but a computer to do it.
American police are paramilitary, and would be considered combatants in almost any invasion scenario. They are only civilians as far as the U.S. DoD is concerned
1. When's the last time you were more than 10 feet from a computer? How often do you think it's going to be in the next generation. 2. I'd rather have graduates who can do calculus with a computer, than those that can fuddle and almost do Alegbra without. That may be the choice we have to make. 3. Do you seriously think they're going to teach by saying "the computer always solves any problem", without broaching the mechanics at all?
Amazingly that statement also encapsulates the shortcomings of objectivism and its attached political philosophies. Evil can also win by being manipulative, violent, or culturally embraced.

Oh, yes, that's literally what I said and not a distortion at all.

Look at the screenshots. This isn't fallout. Come on.
Bungie seems to have immediately taken to making interesting new ideas once free of Microsoft. Who could have expected that?

We like the free market so much, we let those with the most money decide what restrictions exist on the free market.
"Shot down" implies that it wasn't headed for the ground already. Delivered an accurate STA countermeasure might be more correct?
Heck we have windows version 8.0 that's clearly an early pre-alpha build.
Because the media is more than willing to call itself biased in ways its not?
Is it recyclable? If you can just melt it down and use it again, then that alleviates a lot of the cost.

On the other hand, if someone had just reviewed the constitutionality of bill in another context, that's not bias, that's actually being educated.

It's a dwarf planet, not a non-planet.

I switched to duckduckgo for exactly that reason.
