    The problem is that the word tests can be a noun or a verb, the word stink can be a noun or a verb, and the word free can be an adjective or a verb.

    In that video there was a total of 30 seconds of actually useful information. And even some of that was vague and left important information out. I tried translating:

    - 13.4 inch LCD -> Contrast? Response time?
    - 16:9 720p -> 1280×720 resolution
    - Aluminum frame -> Thickness? Weight? Scratch-resistance?
    - "Lightning-fast" Intel Core 2 Duo -> Core? Clock? Cache?
    - Intel Centrino processors -> Chipset?
    - "2GB & 4GB configuration" -> 2 or 4 GB RAM – Clock? DDR2?
    - "Draft Wireless N" -> 802.11n – Brand? Model?
    - "Integrated Mobile Broadband" -> Brand? Model?
    - "Bluetooth 2.1" -> Bluetooth what?
    - "Four ports" -> eSATA, 2 USB, Firewire
    - "100% Solid State Drive" -> Capacity? Speeds? Cycles? 100% as opposed to what?

    What about power consumption? Batteries? Graphics? Preloaded shit?

    Why would anybody care who designed it or the bullshit they spew about their inspiration?

    It's the obvious things like that that everybody misses, and I doubt that the inventors realized that either.

    But then since a lot of theaters are digital now, as in the movies are in computer files instead of on film, I'm sure they could just automatically update the code or something.

    The cue marks in the top-right corner are not called "cigarette burns" and never were. That was only used in the movie Fight Club, and outside of the movie, nobody calls them that unless they are jokingly referencing it.

  24. Re:Development Based 'Montessori' education on Website Does Homework For Kids · · Score: 1

    My little story about Montessori education:

    I was having such a hard time dealing with all the bullshit of traditional education that in the middle of seventh grade I was ready to try anything else. I switched to a Montessori program (at the same school) and stayed the rest of that year and all of eighth grade. Honestly the year and a half I had there were the best damn years of my life. The environment and experience was a much better fit for me, I had a lot of fun, and I actually learned more than I would have in a traditional setting. But after that there was no high school level program, so I went to a traditional high school. I was so used to guiding my own learning and teaching myself in my own ways that I was completely unable to readapt to the bullshit and had so many problems thereafter. I hated school and constantly failed classes, not due to lack of ability, as any of my teachers would tell you, but because I had a complete lack of bullshit motivation.

    Still, I love the program's ideas and wish I would have started earlier.
