Maybe the U.S./South Korea can deploy robots of our own and put less humans in harm's way. And rather than risk a major incident with every patrol, both sides can just sit back and play a glorified videogame. It's sure to beat what happens when the humans there interact.
Lazy teachers and school administrators can get away with silliness and stupidity that would never be tolerated in the adult world. If an adult were attacked and went to the police to file charges, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't accept the police telling him "Hey, that's just part of being an adult. There's nothing we can do about it."
I just got the image of a skit in my head where a student keeps complaining to his principal (or headmaster, I suppose) about increasingly awful things, only to be told that this will build character since "you encounter it in real life." The last visit will be the student coming to the principal saying "There is a crazy man with a gun entering the school," to which the principal responds "Well, there are crazy men with guns in real life too, so you'll just have to accept it."
Actually, a Windows 7 license can be used to install either version. So if you ever wanted to upgrade to 64-bit, all you would need is a physical install disc for the 64-bit version. You wouldn't need to buy new licenses.
Lockheed Martin, Boeing, ATK, and the United Space Alliance on track once again to spend over $50 million for lobbying efforts in 2010, including educational activities like treating Congressmen to luxury box Springsteen tickets.
Blame whomever you want, I still have to go to a client and explain to them why the webpage I designed for them doesn't work right in the most popular browser on the market (and then explain to them why they shouldn't fire me).
Aside from the novelty, this is basically just paper clothing. And paper doesn't look nearly as nasty of this stuff does. It's an interesting proof of concept, but doesn't strike me as particularly useful. Like hemp clothing, it will probably appeal to some hippie types who will like to be able to say that their clothes are made from green tea. But beyond that, not particularly useful for anything else.
Maybe it would be easier to tell us what it DOES include. No Netflix, Hulu, or Youtube, as far as I can tell. What does that even leave?

Well, Rupert Murdoch has attempted to be the first to start to charge again for his newspaper content. But the conventional wisdom is that if you offer your content for free, then start charging again while your competitors don't, that you're going to be the sacrificial lamb who ends up crashing and burning. Certainly, if Murdoch succeeds, his competitors will be more than happy to follow suit, but no one else is exactly lining up until they see that he doesn't fall on his ass.
It takes two or more people to form a relationship, that means that you are just as much responsible for the adversarial nature of the relationship as anyone else.
Do you even think before you type? That is the most asinine statement I have read on/. in a long time (and that's a HUGE statement). An adversarial relationship is *almost always* a one-way street. Saying that I'm responsible for being treated like this is like telling a rape victim "Well, if you hadn't been asking for it..." or telling a kid getting bullied "Hey all you have to do is stand up for yourself" (while completely ignoring the fact that his bully will happily put him in the hospital if he does).
What exactly did you expect me to do, tell my professors (the people who could destroy my academic career) to fuck off? Refuse to comply? Bring a big protest sign to class and get kicked out of university?
I'm not sure what your point even is here. Are you complaining about people who complain? Are you saying that innocent people shouldn't be peeved if they're treated the same as criminals? Do you even HAVE a point?
I never once cheated when I was at university, and am quite proud of that fact. But I hated the fact that *I* had to suffer with these kinds of heavy-handed anti-cheating measures, even though I never once cheated. Taking a test at university was akin to being dragged in for questioning as a murder suspect. No matter how much you tried to establish your innocence, it always felt like every prof viewed you as a criminal, with something to hide. It really made for an adversarial relationship. And it got worse and worse during my time at university too. By my last year, I felt like my prof's would have been happy to frame me on a bogus cheating charge at the drop of a hat. I was presumed guilty.
I have heard rumors of geeks that ship with only an input instead of an output (supposedly called "Women"). But I've yet to see one of these models in any of my programming classes.
Most states in the U.S. still don't even have a single *regular* charging station (outside of California, Oregon, and maybe Washington State there are almost none). I don't exactly see a line forming to buy one of these expensive quick-chargers.

No, Apple users are way less mature.

Crysis on the highest settings is like light speed--you can get close, but you're never going to make it all the way.

Now, now, there is really no need to insult the monkeys like that.
At least the monkeys are more civilized than the Taliban. They smell better too.
Nonsense, abstinence-only education is a great way to keep your teenage kids from having sex. Just ask Sarah Palin.
If we get to the point where we don't even have paper, I'd say clothing will be the least of our problems.
Personally, all I'll need in the apocalypse are shoulderpads, a mohawk, and a dune-buggy. Shirt and pants are purely optional.

It's true that this was much worse in larger, gen-ed classes.

Them and every other hacker on the planet.
At least we have the good sense not to boil our hamburgers and barbecue.
I predict massive manhole manhole cover blowouts and big explosions anywhere within a mile radius of the next Michael Bay movie.
If all I had to choose from was British food, I would get pretty thin too.

They'll bury them next to all the missing mafioso.
