Wouldn't this heavily favour brawn over brains? I mean any half decent bruiser could just avoid getting checkmated right away and then knock the nerd out in the first round.
I took a class on Fritz Lang when I went to University, and if I remember correctly it was Joseph Gerbils who was Fritz Lang's big fan. There are many 'untrue' stories about Lang and the Nazi party circulating though so who knows what is true. One untrue story is that Gerbils offered Lang a high ranking job in the Nazi party, but he turned it down and fled without any of his fortune during the night to France. In truth he lived in Germany for five months after this meeting was said to happen, and brought all his possessions, including a 20k volume library, with him when he did leave.
Isn't this whole recession because people have bought things they couldn't afford? If people are willing to buy houses they can't afford what is to stop them buying a iPhone on credit?... other than maybe not having any credit left.
4. Lock in. For someone like me who has two $700 HD-PVRs the chances that I will switch services is really low. If it wasn't for hardware lock in I would have dropped my service a long time ago. Ok that's a lie, I live in a Condo where the strata doesn't allow dishes so they are really my only option.
It's the same out here in British Columbia. To build on that, construction booms while the economy is good. Because of this its much easier to go into trades than go the University route. Right now my friends that are carpenters make more than my recently University trained friends with office jobs.
The company I work for has had trouble with toughbooks because people think they are alot more rugged than they really are. Employees have a real false sense of security with them. With the big macho 'Rugged Notebook' they expect it to be able to take abuse. What has happened in out experience is they still break when dropped from four feet onto pavement, and with a 'Rugged Notebook' they are more likely to be dropped because of the false sense of security. We have found that we are far better of with a really well built non-rugged notebook, like a t-series.
The introduction on CCTV (as well as new stadium improvements and regulations recommended in the Taylor Report) are credited with ending mainstream hooliganism in England. CCTV was used to find those responsible for acts of unruly and destructive behaviour associated with football matches and punish them. For me this is enough reason to support CCTV.
But then again I don't really have a problem with being filmed while in public... after all it is in public.
If the school is anything like the one I went to, it seems like you will be leaps and bounds above your classmates. Most first year classes are a joke. My advice is be careful because it does get harder real fast.
I did almost nothing in my first year and a half of Uni, and still got really good grades. I partied pretty hard, and next thing I knew my edge was gone. I went from being way ahead to being behind and it was hard to become a 'good student' again.
When I was in first year, we use to find find computers on the dorm network with their C: drive shared. We use to put hundreds of copies of this video of a girl, a dog and some peanut butter everywhere. People never learned. We use to do it to this one machine every week for months on end.
Shaw is ligth years better? Really they just raised my bill by $12 a month. Meanwhile they still haven't fixed the movie channels that have terrible audio syncing problem. I think they actually raised the price on those by either $2 or $5. I had/have NHL centre Ice, which right near the end of the season they converted to Nascar speedpass if there was a race on. So if you wanted a game that was on Centre Ice, which you would paid good money for, you were out of luck.
And yes I am cutting back on my service because of this.
Not as bad as this Internet television company, ITVN.
ITVN offered (Actually I think they still so do) a little box that you plugged into your tv and ethernet and you got your programming that way. The only good thing about it was that you could get single packages without all the crap. So I got it for a single specialty sport channel at $15/month.
Now all was good until December, when on a big match day (Manchester United v Liverpool) their servers couldn't handle it and many people were unable to watch the match, next thing you know there is rumors about financial problems. Sure enough starting January they start double billing my credit card. If try calling their contact numbers and those registered to the website you find that they have been disconected. If you try to email them you get no reply. So every month I've had to call and get the second charge removed from the credit card company, which is time consuming. Now Setanta; the channel I use to get through them has stopped doing business with them so I don't get any service, but I'm still getting double billed everymonth. The credit card company has told my if I have a contract with them they can not block payment completely, but only remove the double billing. They even said if I reported my card lost, and got a replacement the pre-payments would continue. I have filed a fraudulent vendor report, but its getting me nowhere. I'm not alone, searching on the Internet find just about everyone that had the service is now dealing with this nightmare.
So what the hell should I do? I'm also afraid what this might be doing to my own credit/credit-card account. I'm just waiting for them to lock my card because of all the disputed charges.

The tank is made of plywood, shouldn't be too hard to defeat it.
Perhaps. But I one of the few with a 'good job'. I actually work in one of the two new office buildings I mentioned. Plus I have a feeling that the bubble is about to burst here. You can already see it happenings. Over the last six months not a single new condo has gone forward. There are six, that I know of, that have been put on hold waiting for refinancing. One is so shifty that all the crew and equipment got pulled out of the hole in the ground months ago but the sales centre refuses to admit there is a problem and still advertising a 'Fall 2008 Completion'
Everyone just got way to carried away. I know a 'couple' who broke up months ago but are stuck together in 400 sqf because the bought a place together. I don't know who is dumber, them for thinking it was a good idea to buy a place after being together for only nine months, or the bank for loaning them the money with 5% down.
$300k McMansion? Where the hell do you live? Where I am $300k is gets you a 500 sqf condo. I just checked and and cheapest house in the city is $404k CAN. The scary thing is in a city with very few 'good jobs'. Easy loans here have seen property values quadruple in last decade. Its scary that in the last four years only two 4-story office buildings have gone up in the city, while about about 25 condo have gone up, and the suburbs have exploded with entire subdivisions of new $600k homes.
Whats the problem here? I take that to mean "Unofficially Go Ahead". They told you that its not something they police. Sounds pretty understanding to me. They could have easily just written you back saying no, and if you do they will take legal action against you.
The RIAA and MPAA are not welcome to a single cent of the tax we pay on blank media. It's a Canadian tax. It goes to the CRIA ( you know, the Canadian Recording Industry Association) (and presumably other Canadian organizations).
Which presumably goes to support the likes of Bryan Adams and Celine Dion?
Best argument against piracy I've ever seen. Just to think that every time you copy a CD here in Canada your giving a penny to Celine Dion. I feel so dirty, I'm going to go by some records now.
Forget tinfoil to save your house, what you need is insurance. If its too expensive just call ladbrokes or any other betting house and see what odds they will give you for your house getting hit.
I have no idea about meteorites, but on a somewhat related note a small piece, of that they believed to be, an airplane smashed through my parents sunroom about ten years back. They live about 20 minutes from a pretty major airport, and planes fly over their home all the time. The roof was almost flat and made of pretty strong polycarbonate, so it was unlikely that the small piece of metal would have smashed the panel and the floor tiles without alot of speed, and hence why they believed it came from a plane. I think they kept the piece, so I'll have to have a look next time I'm over, in the off chance it came from some junk satellite.
Its actually 6012 years old, 2008 + 4004 BC ( Bishop Ushers's date of the world creation) stop spreading your heathen propaganda of that gods people only think the world is 6000 years old.
I too wonder about "suddenly". Where I am Vinyl has been really big again since about 2000. Hell I'd say Vinyl is dieing down again. It was incredibly trendy for a couple years, everyone had a collection, but now it seems only to be music snobs.
I don't know if they actually sound better, but I personally just love the physical action of putting on a record.
Kids that go into computer science just for a high paying job fail. Or at least thats what I saw in my experiences. I started University right before the dot com burst. The school was awash with students trying to make a quick buck. All my first year computer science classes had 300 kids in them. I think there was almost 500 kids in my program. Then the bubble burst and the classes got way harder. By the time I finished, there was about 20 people in all my fourth year classes. I was told by someone that only 40 people graduated in my year. The kids that signed up for fame and glory all gave up, and those that went in because they loved computers stuck it through.

Other methods also come to mind
1. Attending classes
2. Taking notes
3. Reading those notes
4. Reading the text book
5. Reading supplementary texts/online/whatever
I should have went to this School, looks like I would have been the model student, instead of the "D for Degree student" I was at the Uni I went to.

Aren't they supposed to be on the artists' side?

Reducing costs is good for the Industry.
