You can't both be for "responsibility" while also being for forgiveness of your debts incurred when getting an overpriced worthless degree.
It's unfortunate, too, because I agree with their criticism about all the wealthy who have gotten that way without producing any real value... but most OWS solutions would simply make *themselves* those people, to the extent they want high salaries despite having worthless skills. Plus, their demand for more funding for higher education would just make the education system even more bloated and wasteful, with more university leaders getting big salaries for doing nothing of value.
Not really. But they can certainly make politicians *think* that they can threaten the global economy, which, along with bribes and whatnot, is enough to let them dictate policy like in '08.
No, but a guy who figured out how to throw a pebble in *just* the right way to allow access to a locked car (and drive it) without setting off the car alarm or giving much evidence of intrusion is smarter than the guy who designed the car's security measures.
Also, who the hell actually installs software just because the Malaysian government signs it?
"Hm, I'm not sure I want to run this code... seems like it could put my system at risk. Oh, wait, the Malaysian government signed it! What a fool I was to spend even a moment in worry!"
Sure, there might be worthy knowledge in the humanities, but it doesn't do anything for your earning power, and so you should be prepared for this and treat it as consumption rather than an investment (but then, the stupidity of studying it would be even more obvious when you have a real life and responsibilities).
Yes, there are countries where you can get a humanities education without crushing debt, and these are the ones throwing even more money down a rat hole, they just structure it differently.
And I seriously doubt how much worthy knowledge is being preserved by students majoring in the humanities, considering all the courses that are basically fluff and which students turn to when they can't hack it in a non-fluff discipline, preferring courses they can ace just by pandering to the teacher's biases.
Humanities classes are plagued by the problem of shadow writers -- people who spend a little time getting up to speed and then can produce papers indistinguishable from someone who's "really" taken three years of classes in it. Sorry, but any discipline where that's possible is fluff.
And for maximum poetic justice, get them to market the contaminated food to each other, precisely on the basis that it will only kill people who have outlived their usefulness!
Wonder what clever ad campaign they'll come up with to dupe each other into death...
And if she *is* getting a degree in the humanities, she's probably best off abandoning the education altogether, which will probably do nothing for her earning power, but leave her with enormous undischargeable debt.
So the Fire uses the same E ink technology that makes reading on the b/w kindles so much easier on the eyes? If that were the case, it would make sense, but if it's just replicating the display of tablets, I don't see the point.
Burden of proof. If this were real, we would have links now. In the absence of evidence, we side with "don't believe the dubious claim". That's why I'm not asking you how you know there's not a monster under my bed, because if the monster is BS, "I'd like to know".
That's stupid. If you're only going to accept the results of your chosen "official speed test site", why bother making it even do a stacked test? Why not just have the site spit back entirely artificial results each time?
I mean, if you're not going to allow an unbiased judge anyway...
Well, it could be that torrenters have started disguising torrent packets as web traffic by sending them through port 80, making ISPs throttle websites as a countermeasure...
Linux has a Octave for Matlab, which replicates the processing of the language, and front ends like GUIOctave that replicate most of the UI ease-of-use stuff.
I don't think "I don't think "I think you mean" means what you think "I think you mean" means" means what you think "I don't think "I think you mean" means what you think "I think you mean" means" means...
Sorry, I had just written the function
(define (doesntmean x)
(concat "I don't think" x "means what you think" x "means"))
to mock what you had just done, and I figured I might was well apply it again.

You left off the D at the beginning.

... and quite a number of hacking programs, for that matter!
So ... you skipped the part where you were supposed to learn the difference between anecdotes and data, then?
Oh, crap! Didn't know that!
*opens up trusted cert list*
And why is it both stolen AND a legitimate cert?

Then how did you end up as a Marxist?

"Aw" and "Or" are the same sound (US "or")- so she finds it amusing when I say things like Pawn Shop.
The "a" sound at the end of the word comes out as "er". She thinks "Chimichonger" is an amusing name for a Mexican dish.
Maybe you should stop adding non-existent r's to your speech? (And stop dropping them when they do appear.)
You must be great at parties!
And if she *is* getting a degree in the humanities, she's probably best off abandoning the education altogether, which will probably do nothing for her earning power, but leave her with enormous undischargeable debt.
Then she can afford a lot more iPads!
Oh. Good point, I gave the wrong impression about what I knew. Sorry.
So then it's completely pointless, I guess.

Just kidding, it's probably journalist confusion!
No, BT stands for bit torrent, silly. They obviously wouldn't discuss British Telecom in the same context -- that would just be confusing.
Abuse the emergency services line like this guy did, in the more-civilized country of your choice, and see what happens.
"Okay, we're going to fine you now" doesn't stop a guy that's repeatedly calling and tying up emergency services.
Not defending the US's draconian imprisonment policies in general, but I have to agree with the police here.
They didn't, because the story is bullshit.
