The first college I went to, several of my freshman classes had over 500 students in massive lecture halls. I failed out. Now I'm back in school, in an engineering program and getting great grades. Why? There's 8 people in the electrical engineering program for my year. That's 8 people in pretty much all of my classes. It's a huge difference.
It's funny, because if you're a white, middle-class male you're automatically exempt from like 90% of the free money for college, and yet like 90% of the kids I go to school with are white, middle-class males.
You may also note that the guy who did use the right stains and looked for algal DNA made certain it was clear that he could not make a solid determination one way or the other.
Except that the information is provided in more detail and with more clarity on the internet. The only reason any of the professors at my university use textbooks is for the homework assignments. I've talked to professors from every subject I've taken, and that's continually what they tell me. I pay upwards of $200 per class so they can assign me homework I won't do.
I'm trying to explain that this is a rather extreme punishment that severely affects the remainder of their lives. Always remember that blood justice is not justice. The system should correct problems, not simply punish them.
Are you drawing that conclusion because you are a child, or because you've worked closely teaching math to young children for years? Or are you drawing that conclusion because you have a preconception about what the answer should be?
No one in my second grade class had an issue with algebra. We couldn't do division yet, but algebra was easy. The problem is not the students.
That's idiotic. In first grade, I played an algebra game on the old Franklin computer in the class, and it used a ?. Did they actually ask kids if they had a conceptual blockage, or did the textbook writers invent this problem themselves and foist it onto the children?
Ya, I've never understood why 1 + 2 = 3 = 4 - 1 isn't okay. Maybe it's his understanding of mathematics that's flawed, since to convey the same thing he'd need 1 + 2 = 3, 3 = 4 - 1 and 4 - 1 = 1 + 2, which is stupid.
What if patents had to list inventors, and they were non-transferable from those individuals? And the same for copyright, whoever created the content retains exclusive rights, work for hire or no. Only content creators would be able to have rights to content.
Would that make the patent/copyright systems actually work?

Or tracking license plates? Seriously, how is that different? Because we're "protecting the children?"
I go to an engineering school. I guess our numbers are still behind the curve.

without our lifetime...
... being spent harnessing that technology?

It is not money well spent. It is a joke.
I use foursquare and it can be quite helpful when in a new town for a night of partying.
And now we know why regular slashdotters don't use it...

I bet it'd be cheaper to call a cab.
Every single time they ever want to drive for the rest of their lives? No. It wouldn't.
considering the ... amout of first posts I've seen in the past few days on slashdot
You'd think every single article would have a post that came before all the others.

The real geniuses are the ones who manage to learn mathematics anyways.
My electrical engineering professors seemed to be of the opinion that we were allowed to use a computer when we knew how to design it from scratch.
Ya, what's up with that? We were never allowed calculators in university, why do they give them to kids?
Yes, I see that now. I am a fool who cannot read. Perhaps if I hadn't wasted such much time in middle school learning what '=' meant...
3 = 3 = 3
A rose is a rose is a rose.
But, actually, it seems that their math is wrong. I still stand by my rose statement, though.
Wow. I can't read. Heh. Thanks!
My middle school had a programming class. Of course, it was logo and QBasic, but still.

Yes... a simple fix...
Oh my god. You're right. That is scary... I was more interested in this than when the Russians invaded Georgia.
Is it bad I thought you said FTL? Is it worse that I still thought you were serious?
