That works great for Greenland and Antartica, but what about America, Europe, and the rest of the world... Unless your telling me the ice sheetes from Greenland and Antartica are able to tell us what the weather was like everywhere, I just figured it would tell us about what the weather was like there...
Please tell me if I am wrong, it's just what makes the most sense to me
The kid could have lasted longer, but he didnt find a machine gun floating above ground in an alley. Would have also helped if he saved just before all that happened...
I went to a company called Clearcube to look/test some things for here at work (military) and what they have to offer would be perfect for school environments.
All you have is a little box, keyboard, mouse, and monitor at the desk. The actual computer is a blade in a server rack, so all the computers in the school could be located with the servers. If one goes down, you pull it out, put a new blade in and it re-writes all the information that was there.
Its more expensive off the bat, but over time it is actually cheaper to maintain, and the downtime is practically nothing.
Thats what he said he didnt want to get. So that plant is out of the question.
I would recommend a cactus, small, simple, easy to take care of. Doesn't need a lot of water all the time, so if you take a week or two off, you don't have to worry about it dying if someone forgets to water it one day.
Working slaves can forget about it. Banks can always repossess a multimillion dollar house, but what do you do here when somebody declares bankruptcy after treatment?
Life in prison would sure suck if your immortal... if they try to screw the economy, they dont get the chair, they get life in prison... We might have a few people try it at first, but after a couple hundred years, noone would want to do that...
"Computers are not as physically dangerous as cars, granted, but there should be a recognition that they are a powerful tool nonetheless, that can shape people in important ways. As with cars and any other powerful tool, we should attempt to impart the maturity to deal with and use them effectively before handing over the keys."
If cars werent physically dangerous I would have my kids (when I have them) out driving as soon as I possibly could. Im going to start my kids off young with go-karts and things like that, just like I will with computers, and everything else I can... I think that if your kids use computers, drive, and do other things early in life, then those things will be more natural to them.
You also said that "learning in the primary years has a very strong social component, where students are not primarily learning facts and "how-to's", but are fundamentally learning how to interact and communicate with others and the natural environment. Computers can impair this in subtle ways, since they are not fundamentally interactive, but only give the illusion of being so"
While I agree that it is important for them to be social and learn to interact and communicate with others, its not a bad thing for them to be on a computer, they will have social interaction. If you pay attention to what your kids are doing, this wont be a problem, they can play at night when they arent allowed to be outside, in the mornings on weekends when they wont be outside. If you limit them on when they can be on the computer there wont be any negative affects on their social life.
"(and less face it, children's computer use is far more likely to have been relatively uncontrolled by parents, rather than carefully monitored)."
That is why the parents must be active in their kids lives, so this doesnt happen. This is also what most/all the other posts have mentioned, that the parents be active in the computer use, limit where they can go and what they can do. If you arent/cant be active in your childs life, then why have one?
"just like how real car enthusiasts don't adorn piece-of-shit imports with stickers and tacky wings. It's all about what's under the hood, not how pretty it looks on the outside."
I agree that they dont care about piece of shit imports, but to say they dont care how pretty it is on the outside is nonsense... I personally think all those imports with wings and stickers look just plain stupid, but a good paint job etc means a lot to car enthusiasts...
I would like to know why some people do case mods, and im sure most people that do them have imports with at least 10 stickers and the biggest wing they can find... I would rather spend my money on something useful, like another computer
I download music quite a bit, if I dont like it I delete it, if I like it, I go buy the CD... Guess I have to stop buying CD's since its horribly illegal and immoral to listen to a preview of it first...
Average people aren't as worried about the speed of them, they are more worried about how much stuff they can fit on the hard drive. When they think about how slow something is, they dont blame the hard drive, or the RAM, just the processor, because they think thats the only thing that needs to be fast.
You would be suprised how well a $30 DVD player can work. When me and my wife moved, we didnt have anything but a little TV, so we went and got a cheap $30 DVD player from Target. That was over a year ago, and we still use it constantly.
They tell us what we want, not the other way around. Thats all companies do now, we can tell them what we want, but they will never listen to us. They will always give us what they think we want (need), or what they think is "best" for us.
All I know is, new phone = new shit that I dont need.
If they took the site down it would be saying that they believe what they are doing is illegal. If they keep the site up, it shows that they believe what they are doing isnt wrong.
What a load of horse shit, I didnt have breakfast and Im starving_right_now.
Im one of those "rich west" people that can afford an internet connection, a computer, electricity, and a portable music player (though I dont own one), and since your on/. I would assume that you have most, if not all of that stuff too...

So they can say "We have a nuke" More people are scared of nukes because they are nukes...
It's like me saying "I overclocked my 4 gig processor to 5" Do I need it? no, it's just to say it and sound special

That will save you 15%, and no matter how big or small a company is, 15% in 15 minutes is quite a big chunk of money!
Well this might be your first problem with Duke Nukem Forever. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/images/040815.jpg

I better run home and delete my windows registry... I dont want them spying on me

"4. No need to rewind"
Dont tell Blockbuster this, they still put the "Be Kind, Please Rewind" stickers in DVD cases.
Why aren't the cell phone companies listening?

Wouldn't it be safer to start with an Ursa Minor mission first?
It would be safer, but illegal.
