The advice I give to college kids is to take your time. If you try to bust your ass to get done in 4 years*, you could lead to early burnout. I've never had an employer ask me why it took 5 years to graduate as opposed to 4.
Going through it more slowly will give you more time to devote to the subject material, and possibly even work a part-time job. Getting out of school after 5 years with job experience is probably better than getting out in 4 without it.
Very true. The problem comes from people who use the term 'baby' to describe a zygote or fetus.
So when does it quit becoming a "zygote or fetus" and become a "baby"?
that you can impose your will on the decision a woman and her doctor makes
Shouldn't that be a woman, her doctor, and the father? You're making it out like he has no say-so in the matter, until she decides to have the kid and he's stuck paying child support for the next 18 years. I guess some people are more equal than others.
This. Although the number of people with cable is dropping, it's estimated that 83% of Americans still have cable TV as of last year: http://www.ibtimes.com/forget-...
Of these low income folks that strictly rely on cellular for Internet access, how many still have cable TV? That would be the first thing I'd cut if funds didn't allow it. Actually, I could afford it, but cut it 8 years ago because I'm sick of paying for commercials and channels I don't watch. After the first few weeks I didn't miss it anymore.
However I'm sure that some cable providers won't sell you Internet without a TV subscription, so it may not be an option for some of these folks (fortunately I'm able to buy Internet only from Cox), but if you were buying a TV subscription just to get broadband, paying for it on your smartphone would be sorta pointless.
Well considering that the muslims we're referring to would be emigrating from counties that have made that type of discrimination part of their code of laws, I fail to see how this isn't justified.
But I get it, we have to be tolerant of intolerance.
No, it isn't. Looking down on a group of people that base their beliefs on a system of hate and sexual discrimination is hardly what I would call racist.
Aim the radio telescope at these commits and reproduce the effect.
Yeah, I'm not sure what's stopping them from doing this now. Sure, it would have to be at Chi Sagittarii to replicate the Wow! signal, but if the comets don't produce that signal from where they are right now, seems like the whole experiment would be moot.
Since the summary failed to state the new hypothesis, here goes:
Professor Antonio Paris believes that the signal was generated by two comets which were discovered in 2006 and 2008. They were both in the vicinity of Chi Sagittarii when the Wow! signal was emitted. Both of these comets are surrounded by a cloud of hydrogen gas, which emits signals at a frequency of 1420MHz (the same as the Wow! signal).
I knew they didn't stand a chance as soon as they retained David Boies as their legal counsel (despite the conflict of interest, since he sits on their Board). Why on Earth do people think he's some kinda super-lawyer? I mean look at his track record:
Defended Napster (they were shut down). Convicted Microsoft (overturned on appeal)* Worked for Al Gore in the 2000 election (he didn't become president) Represented Andy Fastow from Enron (he went to jail). Worked for Oracle in their case against Google for Java (Oracle lost). And let's not forget everybody's favorite, the SCO Group.
I mean he has had some victories, such as defending IBM in their anti-trust case (although he wasn't the primary litigator), but I'm sure whatever Theranos was paying him was WAY more than what they received in return.
*I know it's complicated, but at the end of the day MS beat the DOJ.
"recently criticized the 30-year-old Electronic Communications Privacy Act as outdated during his testimony in February before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee -- bringing along IBM's first laptop, released the same year, to help illustrate his point."
This seems like an odd analogy to make. Did he ride a horse to the courthouse to show that the fourth amendment is outdated?
It gets even crazier when you see the media falling over themselves about Bernie or Clinton. For example, I didn't know that Bernie had once supported abolishing mandatory K-12 education (http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/29/politics/bernie-sanders-own-words/). I'm sure he probably doesn't still feel this way, but I never heard it in the main stream media until he started losing primaries.
If Trump changes his mind on something, he gets crucified (look what happened to him when talking about guest workers). I guess Bernie gets a free pass when he does it.
I'm not voting for any of those three candidates, but it's pretty obvious that mainstream media has already decided who we should vote for.
I am a Mormon man and I have no kids. Funny how some bigotry gets an easy pass on Slashdot.
That's not necessarily true. If he had replaced "Mormon" with "Muslim", he would have been flamed out of existence for discriminating against a celebrated culture.
Iceland has a higher percentage immigrants than Europe on average
When you say higher percentage, is that the percentage of the population that are immigrants? Can you point me to the source so I can see how they rank?
During Tim Cook's presentation today, I couldn't help thinking that they were pushing CareKit to make people start to consider how much information about their health would be on these devices, and who else could potentially have access to it. I could simply be overthinking it, but it very well could have been that he was trying to win over more people to Apple's side of the argument.

Ditto....although the minor in music I picked up didn't really help my job prospects much, it was definitely an experience I wouldn't want to give up.

*barring any scholarship restrictions, etc.
were some of the first population controls
I knew all along that this "protect the environment" crap was all about weeding out the non-desirables amongst us!
Very true. The problem comes from people who use the term 'baby' to describe a zygote or fetus.
So when does it quit becoming a "zygote or fetus" and become a "baby"?

Check on Kevin Smith talking about his experience of working with Prince. Weird guy, but definitely left his mark.

True, but the control experiment was designed to show a zero measurement. Maybe they need a different control experiment?
About a year ago I remember reading that the control experiment also produced thrust....

Has something changed since then?
The only thing I ditched was cable.

And yes, the anti-muslim hate is racist
No, it isn't. Looking down on a group of people that base their beliefs on a system of hate and sexual discrimination is hardly what I would call racist.
But the real truth is: I want a free telescope.
LOL that's what I got from this as well. I also felt like the summary was clickbait without an explanation in it.

Why is the modded down?
I think it's because he posted as A.C.
It's all the facts, not the feel good hyperbole.
You must be new here ;-)
How about we just give all parents a $100,000 annual salary, if raising children is the most important task there is.

empowering the little guys, the voiceless, and letting unpopular messages be heard just as loudly as the mainstream ones.
