just add full body motion to the list of do's and don'ts when you're taking the test. ever notice how often joe biden scratches his nose when he's talking out of his ass? yea, that's called a tell. i remember hearing about an indiana guy that was arrested for training people to beat polygraphs.
I see lots of new and exciting things happen in the world of neurology and such. Are these things directly stemming from the Human Brain Project? How do we know what successes have come out of that program?
and this is why i think we're missing the beauty of 'REAL' distributed computing. set those drone mapping satellites to as many probable locations for Steve to have fallen and let people log into a special purpose website to view EVERY SQUARE INCH for an airplane - or airplane debris. btw i've never even heard of this guy, just offering a solution.
Also, I once had my nose cauterized to help with the regular nosebleeds I was having. To numb the pain, the doctor soaked a cotton ball in a cocaine solution. Has local anesthetic effects as well as 'good time' effects. I'm still not sure if that would cancel the anesthesia from cocaine but that would certainly be a real bummer for legit medical patients if it did. Kinda like the feds cancel out weed for legit patients too I would think. Bastards...
Has anyone thought that the reason why they're outsourcing this research is the fact that they simply do not know it in the first place? To me I'd say we've never been to the moon, and the U.S.'s space agencie(s) (NASA) couldn't get itself on that rock if it tried (at the current moment at least), so they're getting people thinking "Well it mustn't be that hard if we've done this before (as a country) so let's give it a go." Sadly paints the picture of NASA not having enough citizen support to be able to get the proper cash from the feds to fund all those new technologies we'll be needing as a species to survive, so it has to resort to those private parties that are already interested in the subject/research to do it's dirty work for it.
Yea, I already have my nationally issued I.D. card... It's called my social security number! People ask me for it all the time when I do even the most basic of purchasing. Soooo, this would solve??? There will always be ways around it no matter what you do. Remember... those "sneaky terrorists" get more resourceful all the time!
I'll second that. Could you expect any company to do otherwise than to shamelessly plug itself at any turn? If I owned a company, I think I would have a slight interest in doing everything I could to make it succeed. Including but not limited to placing my own ads at the top of my ads place, extortion, bribery (lobbying), blackmail, murder, and the occasional mafia hitman when needed.
As a current college student, I think this idea is great. Definately a next generation step (yes, I read some of you were buying them in '96 - but admittedly not from the professor himself). For myself, I find it very difficult to take notes without over or under indulging anything that was said/written by the professor - as in not taking enough notes and capturing too little, or overdoing it, and not filtering the relevant information from the garbage, which is a difficult task if you have no background on the subject at hand. This is even more difficult when going to a smaller school [Purdue University North-Central/shamelessplug] where classes can range from 10-40 students and often times the lecture can turn into informer conversational banter leaving some with their heads spinning wondering if what was said is important enough to take down on paper. To sum all that up, I like being able to have in front of me polished notes that I know the tests will pretty much be taken straight out of (with a few exceptions).
As for the professor selling them? Yes, I whole-heartedly agree that s/he should be able to charge a reasonable fee. The lectures are the property of the professor, and they take extra time to prepare to be able to distribute. Don't like paying for them? Too bad! Next time consider coming to class because isn't that what you really paid for in the first place? An education from a brick-and-mortar school? Otherwise, take courses with an online university. Besides, shit (re:life) happens and in case you do have to miss class for a legitimate reason who knows what kind of notes a classmate would take if you were to borrow from them. Don't trust your grade to the numb nuts sitting next to you.
P.S. Wish I could use my mod points to skew this discussion...

Actually, I think people (20+ so it seems, in my experience) really do care about music videos - just not the ones from today. I'd love to go back and catch all the older music videos that don't have a chance of ever being played again on TV (not that I watch it anyway). Songs from the 90's on down had some really thoughtful videos to them. Even at YouTube quality, it's much better than, say, some of the Rush videos I have of crappy BetaMax quality where it looks like it was copied from tape to tape a few times before being digitized.
Also, I don't foresee YouTube ever legally hosting EVERY music video ever made. I know that Tool is very protective of their content, and you can't find their music/videos on iTunes, Yahoo! Music, or anything else. Unless their record company stepped in and pointed a gun at the band's head, I would find this possibility very doubtful.
Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
and that punishment
would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting.

and it doesn't matter what's right. It's only wrong if you get caught.

Finally: have you thought about the ethics of using your student loans in this way? Were the loans given to you in order to help you pay for your expenses as a student? Do you think it's okay to ask someone to loan you money for one thing and then use that money for something else? Isn't that a form of lying?
You must not have ever been a college student. Currently I'm maxing out all the loans I can get. Weed may grow on trees, but who has the patience and privacy to grow their own? And have you seen the prices of premium beer kegs lately?!? Mom and Dad certainly aren't going to throw down on something like that for Junior. College takes up too much time if you want to get decent grades, and working 30+ hours/wk at a job to help pay for it is out of the question. Also, I don't think at this point there is any hope of saving this lad, so I'd save the moral questions for the next Ask/. on how to construct a DIY remote controlled automatic wife beating apparatus. On a final note, and since I already touched on drugs... Why doesn't our beloved fellow invest in dealing drugs? Surely a few extra G's could buy a lot of coke, eh?

Great job MS! Now look everybody, even the big corporations can do something good. Personally, I don't want to hear a single MS bashing post in this thread (even though I know that's impossible on/.) This isn't a perfect world, and as such, it's reasonable to expect some counter-thoughts the matter, but for the love of jeebus, let's keep the bashing to a minimal, shall we?

You're ignoring the fact that Detroit decided to just NOT pay some of its bills, and ended up paying pennies on the dollar for the rest.

I agree. What are you hoping we discover? Teleportation, eternal life, additional universes, etc?
