You could avoid the first by making customer's agree that any damage they cause is their own fault,and any professional repair is at their own cost. For the second, you could just require the defective part to be shipped back, possibly at the manufacturer's expense.
8+8+8+8+8+8+8=16+16+16+8=32+24=56 is thinking, of a sort.
7*8=56, on the other hand, is rote memorization. It's memorization that student's should have, and it's a problem if they don't, but it isn't thinking.
It's been a few years since I got out of high school, but I doubt things have changed much. I usually observed that the better teachers were able to gain the respect of even the usually disruptive kids. I also noticed that the teachers who allowed class time to do homework were not the better teachers. They were more along the lines of the "lets let the PE guy teach the science class (this happened to me twice)" type of teachers.
I only took 2 semesters of calc and 1 of linear algebra and I'm a CS major, so I may be talking out of my ass, but why should engineers need hardcore math theory? If you know that a given situation is modeled by a given equation, and it can be solved using a fairly mechanical technique, why should you care how the technique works? It's not "depending on something else to think for us," its taking advantage of the tools at hand.
I don't have anything against learning theory for those who need it, but if you're never going to use it, why bother?
They aren't making extravagant claims either, they frequenly point out that the numbers are pretty small. They even have a quote that explicitly emphasizes small numbers.
""We have come across about 3,000 people of foreign origin in our database who are looking for jobs in India." Mr Shenoy is quick to add, though, "But one must say that it is not something that is highly noticeable considering the fact that those 3,000 people of foreign origin are just a minuscule number of 870,000 resumes we have in our database." "
There is a decent amount of speculation about whether this is a growing trend, but the tone is similar to what I'm used to from US papers. What about the article comes off as propaganda? And why wouldn't this deserve to be news?
I just checked customs.gov, I found this. (pdf) It seems to indicate that importing books is free. Has anyone else gotten a customs bill for importing textbooks? I'd really like to know since I'm now seriously thinking about using amazon.co.uk next semester.
The download page used to have 3 options, all looking the same: pro for money, pro with ads, and basic codec for free.
Now there are still 3 options that all look the same, and a much smaller link to the basic codec underneath.
I don't know about everyone else, but when I just want to download something, I don't really read the text unless I have to. I just look for the big obvious download button for what I want, and from the layout of the page it wouldn't be too hard to miss it. The same goes for the editors. If you just give the page a once-over, the free download is easy to miss.
I used to get dialup, then dsl from flex until roadrunner came into my town. They were, and probably still are, the best dialup isp in Hawaii. The AOL rant was the main reason I signed up.
It would be nice if there was a similar discount cable isp that didn't need to send out two guys just to turn on dhcp.
From the end of the second article: "In many cases, pre-trial "Daubert hearings" exclude so much of the evidence upon which plaintiffs intend to rely that a given case cannot proceed."
This site was pretty helpful a few years ago when I first got dsl and wanted to split it between 2 computers. They seem to have good howtos for most basic situations, though it's mostly windows oriented.
routergod has an interesting approach to explaining somewhat complex concepts to non-technical people.
I spent two years in a highschool cisco class, and in the 2 months before we started playing quake, I learned about network models. Basically, network operations can be divided into multiple layers, with each performing different functions. The layout of these devices seems to be based on one of these models, though I don't remember which. The stateful packet inspection you refer to would probably be part of the first device mentioned in the article, packet filters, which just operate on the network layer, not the other two.
Of course, somewhat intellegent packet filtering at the router beats the hell out of those "home firewall" programs that make pop ups every time you run a new program.
The lowest possible score is 200 on each section, but if you leave everything blank, you could actually get higher than 200. Something about the equating alogorithms they use or something. You could probably get 200/200 just by missing 3 or 4 problems, then leaving the rest blank, but this guy seemed to have the goal of getting them all wrong, getting the lowest raw score ever.
~16 doubling periods in 18 years is about 14 months per period. Of course, a small change with exponential growth causes major changes as time goes by, but a four month shorter doubling period doesn't seem very significant.
It's in the form of a document in a 'Zion archive', which seems to indicate it was created by humans. It could just be a copy of robotic propaganda, but I think the narration was the same as the "welcome to the Zion archive" voice.
As much as I dislike the Republican party, many of the attempts to censor the media are from the Democrats. The bill mentioned in this article is being introduced by a Democrat. Tipper Gore was one of the leaders in the PMRC, and Lieberman has been complaining about violence in TV and video games for a while.
I've found that when politicians want to restrict your rights in support of religious ideas, they're Republicans and when they want to restrict your rights to 'protect the children,' they're Democrats.
The faq says it uses a formula that includes the number of votes "to slow down the rise and falls in the averages of the books." I'm too lazy to try to figure out the math, but the explanation looked plausible.
I read pretty much everything Feist wrote up to the second "Krondor" book. After that it seemed like the series was going downhill. The computer game that was somehow associated with it was pretty good though.

The sad thing is that almost everyone in Congress who runs for re-election will win. Unless they do something incredibly stupid, incumbents have every advantage in congressional elections, and most voters probably haven't even heard of, much less care about, the DMCA.
If you feel the need to learn who is buying your representatives, opensecrets.org is a useful site. I think this is where the article got it's data from.
Actually, since a lot of computers are pretty far away from cable jacks, so getting someone to get your modem connected for you is pretty convenient. Plus I've noticed that a lot of installs require either installing a NIC or setting up drivers for USB devices, which might be a bit hard for some users.

From the given numbers, it looks like storage capacity doubles every 14 months instead of the 18 it takes for chips.

from $6000000 to $100 requires about 16 doubling periods:
100*2^x=6000000
2^x=60000
xln2=ln(60000)
x=1
~16 doubling periods in 18 years is about 14 months per period. Of course, a small change with exponential growth causes major changes as time goes by, but a four month shorter doubling period doesn't seem very significant.

Are you sure it's ms5129? a search for msi 5129 has a manual as the first link.
