I'm running ubuntu on a laptop that is my one and only computer for grad school here. I don't have to work with any programming- nothing more complicated than networking and wifi access. I've yet to run into a problem. Their website even offers support for getting linux up and running on their protected wifi network (requires certificates, they walk you through the process on linux).
My one complaint? BlackBoard. If you can find a school that doesn't use it, then give that school preference. It's terrible with ubuntu. I have to user user switching agent with firefox to have a chance at bypassing the terrible setup it has in order to read my assigned papers.
Ugh.
Good luck!

Geek, in fact, began as an acronym for "General Electrical Engineering Knowledge"...
so geek *does* refer to gadgets, computers, and all things electronic. not board games.
its just basically talking about getting sponsorships for doing well at pvp in wow, and how its harder than picking out who is good at fps games, like cs, or rts, like starcraft. it's more team based and less individual skill based.
still cool- as a former lvl 29 twinker (priest:), i love watching good pvp battles.
Isn't stripping this DRM off of blood going to be illegal under the DMCA? I mean, you've got it DRM'd so that only certain people can use it, and if you're breaking that....
They run 1-800-555-1212 (toll free directory assistance) That is actually toll-free directory assistance for 800 numbers, not regular private numbers. And 800-555-TELL is a great service- I highly recommend calling it at work and then sitting there looking busy while you listen to the sports scores of (all) your favorite sport(s).
It's worked like a charm for me:)
I'm sure the "don't ever call here again" line will work at some of the bigger companies, but at the smaller pen-and-paper companies (the ones NOT using automated/predictive dialers) like where I work, that'll get you crossed off of that months list until we buy a new one (scrubbed to be free of those on the DNC list). Then we toss the old ones (i.e. the one you aren't on) and we proceed to call the new one (which you very well may be on again). If you don't want me calling you, your best bet is to sign onto the do-not-call registry and leave it at that.
As far as the people doing the 'clever' things to the telemarketers (keeping us on the line), that's a GREAT way to get yourself signed onto all kinds of spam mailing lists. A guy I worked with got angry because a potential customer took about 20 minutes and then didn't finish the app, so he took the guys info (name, address, phone number) and googled 'free brochure' and 'free information' and proceeded to sign the guy up for all manner of spam mail while opening the door to solicited telemarketing because he 'asked' for it online.
Moral of the story- sign up on the DNC if you don't want the services of telemarketers and don't be rude to us.
i bet this beast of war is designed to cut the grass that the enemies are hiding in, while also airating the soil and destroying the massive amounts of illicit drugs they are obviously harvesting. And even cooler, the thing is really scary and quiet and at night sneaks up on their encampments to demoralize them!!!
Nothing runs like a deere. 'Cept an enemy, running from a deere.
Besides being extremely prejudiced against the electoral college, you also refer to a 'two-party duopoly' that we have in America. This is not something that a president can easily fix, nor is it something that could be easily changed as our Constitution requires a simple majority (i.e. 51%) of votes for a candidate to win. If you want to get into their thoughts on changing the constitution, amending it one way or another for gay marriage would be the place to start, not with the concept of a simple majority versus plurality for elections.
Have you actually looked at the word 'nuclear'?

I don't know why people think nuclear has three syllables, but I can assure you it doesn't. It's spoken just as it looks like it should be- nu-clear (new-clear)... Just a friendly grammar check from your local neighborhood spell checker.
But moving right along, it surely will be funny to see how the tree hugging hippies respond to this development. Maybe they'll horde them so we can't have them, and then grow extra arms for hugging trees more effectively!!

The majority proceeds to hold the statute facially over-broad...
Do judges really refer to their *ahem* as a 'statute'?
Ah! So that's what they do behind closed doors.

Look out for the RIAA!!
As opposed to the nice, kind, helpful ones? This is why studies like these strike me as silly. Of course the disgruntled employee is the saboteur!
