What you just gave me was information concerning schools in general, not specifically the teachers.
private schools don't get better teachers
Was what you said.
I'll ask again: do you have data that states or even merely suggests that "private schools don't get better teachers"? Interestingly enough, true or not, the first link in the google search you kindly provided made private schools out to be a far superior work environment for a teacher than public schools.
The reason I say this is because I don't think you can produce any believable data to specifically suggest that private schools don't get better teachers. You appear to be making a direct connection between teachers and how well people in school score on tests. While I don't have any data myself I'd suggest that in the grand scheme of achieving high generalized testing scores teachers aren't really that key compared to a whole host of other factors which have a *significantly* greater impact on a student's abilities to score high numbers. Again, I don't have any specific data to back this up, just a hunch.
"The public security services in China can turn your telephone on and activate its microphone when you think it's off."
Now if only they can emit a tone outside of human hearing and record the echoes to be centrally processed in one massive computer displaying real time video of anyone anywhere in astounding detail.
Actually, I think this is probably too much power for anybody to have. Let's blow it up.
16mm film, properly shot and focussed, is higher resolution than 1080p.
I really don't know much about film. How does how it is shot and focussed affect its resolution? Wouldn't that just impact the quality of what you are looking at but not the amount of data there?
No worries, it took me a couple times to figure out what the problem with your original post was.:) Error checking in the brain working a little too well....
In the book One Of Us there is a black market for the fingers of dead people as they allow access to the dead person's bank account and any funds left there. They had devices attached to the base of the finger which allowed the finger to remain "alive". Once we have perfected that technology then we need to worry.;-)
I never mentioned one thing about your taste in music.
If you are in the position to make the choice of what format to store your music in, 99% of the time you are wanting to create digital versions of your hard copies. The vast majority of music that is published on the internet is published in a lossy format (that I have seen anyway, I could just be really naive as you suggest). An individual really have no choice what format it is in and moving it to a lossless encoding format like FLAC is pointless at best.
You very well could have 300GBs of free legal music without purchasing a CD. But if that is the case, this conversation is pointless and your original post didn't have much meaning (since you have no real choice in the lossy-lossless format question).
My original statements still stands. For an individual in the position where they have to make a choice between FLAC or some lossy encoding, the extra costs associated with purchasing the extra storage space is dwarfed by the price of the original material you want to encode. Meaning yes, FLAC is worth it.
Yeah, but if it is what I think it is it doesn't use GPS but rather just what cell that specific phone is currently using. Not nearly as accurate as a GPS solution (yes, they were on the east side, but if they in the porno shop or meeting with a client down the street we can't tell).
The grandparent dismissing the argument as a strawman argument might be technically valid, but I feel that it is side stepping the discussion which is a very interesting and valid discussion. Namely, big corporations "backing" OSS don't do it with the best interests of OSS in mind (which people seem to think they do and the corporations want people to think) but for the best interest of the corporation and shareholders in mind.

Because oddly enough you can't prove subjective claims with science.
Subjectively speaking, I don't think "subjective" means what you think it means.
Subjective claims can be objectively wrong.

To reach space you have lots of self-control so that you don't..uh..risk wiping out your civilization.
To date, weren't most of our major space achievements as a race made during the cold war?
The conviction with which you write that implies you have data to the same effect?
In the interest of being pedantic, I believe you were looking for "measure" not "calculate".
AABB humor? :-p

Sheesh...

I think that you are getting HP mixed up with Sony, especially with the comment about "HP's exclusive brand of film". :)
Seriously man- change the password to kjhs45ks,
Don't use kjhs45ks, I use that. I recommend er42jKWi as a good replacement.

Evidently I was good enough to get you to reply.
The goal for Chandler, Kapor says, is to make it as successful and popular as Firefox
So this story could make one think.
Great, somebody modded me a troll. Honestly, another thing to whine about! (And I don't need help finding things to whine about)
The goal for Chandler, Kapor says, is to make it as successful and popular as Firefox
Didn't read the article, but seriously, how is this worth mentioning? Who wouldn't want to start a project that was as popular as Firefox?
You can't be serious can you?
Assuming you paid ~10 bucks an album you are looking at $60,000 to pay for enough music to fill up 1.5TB at each album running ~250MB.
So you spend around 60 grand on music and then use the need to spend 600 dollars as an excuse? You can't be serious can you?
Oh yeah, the above paragraphs were written assuming you obtained your music legally.
yeah, so I didn't read any comments before posting. My post is redundant out its ass. :)
We spend less time watching TV and more time using the internet and following up email.
Seriously, if you consider watching TV to be your time of social interaction. YOU HAVE NO SOCIAL INTERACTION.
And don't anybody give me any bullshit about watching TV with family and friends.
Yeah, but if it is what I think it is it doesn't use GPS but rather just what cell that specific phone is currently using. Not nearly as accurate as a GPS solution (yes, they were on the east side, but if they in the porno shop or meeting with a client down the street we can't tell).
Is a game show "stuff that matters"?
Is slashdot?
Here is some info that should explain it to you.

You my friend are a rambling man. You don't really say much, but damn you like to ramble!
Also, there != their.
