"architected" is not a word, since "architect" is not a verb
A. You're wrong. English is a living language. Any word that people understand as a verb is a verb. You understood what was written, therefore you are lying. who knew that George Bush posted on Slashdot?
The car, in turn, will be painted with an ad for a free ad-supported house and watching the traffic flow on the morning news will be like watching NASCAR, of course you'll be wearing ads on your [jump]suit too right?
When did minors stop being people? at the theater, at the amusement park, at the buffet, at the voting booth...they stop and start being considered the same as adults all day long
we have no special word that refers specifically to the type of evil that can only be associated with a bear. wow, man, that was too many years ago and he only wanted your pic-a-nic basket, let it go.
A few days later, the guy resigned and I was given bank duty for a while, and I dare you to try and discern a pattern in the way I handled this baby. Once out of the office... boom! right there! you always left the office to get to the bank!
seriously though, you're describing the methods yourself, so it's doubtful you would mention something non-random that you hadn't thought of at the time. depending on the size of the cashbox, why wouldn't someone just be willing to wait out the entire 3 hour window and/or pick one or more of the 6 routes and take a couple tries for you to finally choose that same route they picked?
If I like an song a lot, I end up listening to it over and over and over incessantly. Longest was around 3 weeks. And when I say incessantly, I mean constantly -- just leave the song on repeat. let me guess, you're in charge of scheduling iPod nano advertisements on my TV
probably more of them rely on having the right time. i know you're going to say, "well if they want the change in functionality they should install it", but continuing to have the correct time is not a change in functionality to most people.
Most Americans don't go to grad school because there is little economic incentive to do so. The US economy only supports so many technocrats. The presence of so many Indian and Chinese students in US science and technical grad programs is a natural function of those nations' evolving manufacturing and services sectors. They simply need to train more technocrats because their sectors are growing compared to those sectors in the US, which are economically mature. if most students are like i was, a part of the problem is that there isn't a lot of discussion in undergraduate classes about why those students should stay for grad school, what money is available to fund those studies, and what sort of jobs one can expect to get with a graduate degree. i was lucky and made my own closer contacts with a couple of faculty who did tell me all this independently, but i bet most people probably never hear the "sales pitch". and this is coming from someone who did really well in undergrad studies, if no one at the university thought to approach me then there's no way they're approaching people that are more toward the border of graduate qualification but still might succeed there.
two other factors that i haven't seen mentioned are the steady increase in student loan burdens and the fact that a foreign student dominated graduate culture tends to attact more of the same. students are coming out of undergrad programs with more and more debt, and it's hard for those students to think about anything but getting into the workforce and paying that off now. the fact that they can delay repayment and earn enough money in graduate assistantships to keep the debt from increasing isn't as well advertised as it could be.
the OP stated that he's one of 7 american students in a 90% foreign class which is pretty similar to what i encountered in a CS graduate program. graduate classes are really very much harder than undergraduate classes, and i don't care who you are you're probably going to get stuck on parts of the curriculum and have to work through it with other people to fully grasp the concepts (and, no, i'm not talking about cheating on your homework). in my experience the american and non-american graduate students are two pretty disparate groups, and being a part of the larger of those two orbits has to be a huge advantage when you need to tap those resources. that's setting aside the fact that graduate students effectively live on campus in their study areas and labs, so having a large support group in that environment is huge.
a good summary means you could, at least, skip over the stuff you didn't want to read.... but to get a good summary the editors would have to not skip over the stuff they didnt want to read (all the linked articles)
No, no one will be arrested because a flag. Don't you realize what this system is supposed to do. Reduce the amount of material that has to go through human eyes. i have a plan that will reduce the material that has to go through human eyes far more drastically. don't install a billion cameras all over the city. if i had a way to incorporate 1,000 new jobs for relatives of Chicago lawmakers into my plan it would surely be the one chosen instead of IBMs
Universal has signed on for Amazon's program along with EMI that is also on iTunes. they're apparently bigger fans of flexible pricing than they are sticklers for DRM, and i believe there was a Slashdot article somewhat recently that said they were willing to try DRM-free for a limited time as long as watermarks were included to track how quickly songs filter to the P2P networks
the entire mechanism of google maps is built around zooming in and out, so it's easier for them to implement mobile vs web browser scaling than it might be for other sites. and yet despite that they have a separate downloadable mobile app that will precache the images and other resources as a preferred method versus using the actual maps.google.com webpage in your mobile browser
probably the only reason that they don't ban your gamertag is because if they did so they'd have to refund you for the balance of your silver/gold subscription. blocking access from your own box is nearly as bad as banning your gamertag, but they can say that technically you're still able to use the rest of your subscription
can't they all just be pictured eating goat cheese and we're spared both alternatives?

rest assured, he doesn't even bother to wait until the next paragraph to contradict himself:
That said, once you're in the thick of things you don't need to know a lot about the past two games to enjoy 3's story.
My favorite version of 'loser pays' is that the loser is liable for legal fees, up to the lesser of the amounts either party paid.
So, if a big company sues an individual, and wins, the loser is only liable for as much as they themselves spent on the case. I think it would encourage parties in a lawsuit to spend amounts more equitably, unless one side is absolutely convinced they will be successful. it seems like it would also encourage lawyers to file even more frivolous lawsuits on behalf of themselves. "oh, i paid myself nothing, sorry"
Actually, many schools do not have tech. Here in the Denver region, I see loads of 486s still in use. That is a sign that things are really wrong. i wonder how much of the XO software could be installed directly if that 486 had Linux installed? 486s are certainly old, but the XO is not exactly using a top-of-the-line processor
Now, American kids can not even return correct change from a buck without the use of a cash register. Algebra? Please. tell me about it. the guy working the register at Best Buy the other day had to enter a 10% discount coupon on 4 items into the register by-hand, and he entered it as 1% off, 3% off, 3% off, 3% off. i was speechless.
i know what you're saying, and i'm not taking it personally as some people are. but early adopters are the lifeblood of Apple, so they damn well better have some consideration for them. all those MacWorld conferences with the hype and the minute-by-minute liveblogs? those are early adopters. if you send a message to early adopters that not only will they be running the expected risk of early-stage product issues, but that they will be paying a 33% premium for that privilege and you're driving a stake through the heart of your hype machine. i'm not saying that paying a premium isn't part of the early-adopter expectation also, but a 33% markup for a 2 month period is pretty awful
Apple's core market is people that will pay a little extra for a shinier product. those people hear criticism all the time from people who think they're crazy for paying more for an Apple, but they didn't expect to hear that FROM Apple.

i took him to mean "we don't have secret plans to put out a license"

89 cents for 50 cent is clearly not a fair price, that much is immediately obvious even to the casual observer
one of the labels selling DRM free on Amazon is Universal, the same label that is in a fight against iTunes
