I'm sorry... but If you're dumb enough to believe that you should subject your computer to steam AND dumb enough to believe that doing it naked in the shower is your only option -- as opposed to hitting your computer with a blast of steam from that button on your iron, or holding your computer next to your pot of brewing tea -- then you deserve what you got.
Even if what you surmise is correct, his sentence structure is still abysmal. At the very least, he should have separated the instances of "to" for clarity:
"Schools are the one place on Earth to which people look to fix what is wrong with society."
However, this sentence is still really weak. He could deliver a lot more impact by removing the dramatic reference to our planet and saying something like: "We depend on schools to educate our youth and prepare them to solve the problems society has created." Then again, maybe his feeble letter is an ingenious attempt at demonstrating just how lacking our schools truly are.
...I was on vacation the first week in May, and I didn't do JACK except watch two entire seasons of The Office and a few dozen movies. It really was amazing how much Netflix I watched. I almost need another vacation from how much work I did with the remote control in one hand and fattening food in the other.
The Levitra commercials always say you're supposed to contact your physician immediately for erections lasting longer than 4 hours. And drugs.com seems to agree:
In the event of an erection that persists longer than 4 hours, the patient should seek immediate medical assistance. If priapism is not treated immediately, penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency could result.
...that an Albert Einstein icon is associated with a post about memorizing. Why? Because, when asked why he was looking up his own phone number in the phone book, Einstein said:
FTA: "The costs of licensing Windows and MS Office throughout the department would cover the costs of programming a hell of a lot of drivers..."
I'm a software engineer, and I'm all for job demand, but this seems pretty shortsighted. The issue revolves around total cost of ownership, not just the monetary cost of proprietary software. They're a government office. They shouldn't have driver-programming developers on their tax-dollar-funded payroll.
...on wealth and the disparity between classes in our society. I'm glad this family will be "saved" from foreclosure, but it never ceases to amaze me that someone could drop a quarter of a million dollars on something that doesn't carry much *real* value--like a comic book.
You have handed over this information to a company or organization and trusted them to keep is secure, but they failed.
This *is* your fault. The moment you entrust your data to someone else, you are at their mercy--regardless of contracts, guarantees, and their best intentions. Mistakes are made, people are human.
So be it. I post my opinion without giving a shit what the rest of this community thinks. Just like you don't have to care that I think Futurama isn't great.
Personally, I think it's always on the precipice of cancellation because it's never been as good as The Simpsons (although The Simpsons has been less and less entertaining over the last few years).
You can't argue with one point that Dan repeatedly makes in his slides: the status quo isn't working. I commend Dan for thinking outside the box in an effort to address a very complex and challenging problem.
Couldn't agree more. I find it ironic that their logo says design will save the world and yet every image in their "slideshow" is a separate freaking page--so the whole damn site has to refresh to show the next image. Could we get some Ajax please? Hell, I'd even take a Flash slideshow.
The initial velocity (Vxi) is much more interesting to determine (but it wouldn't be that hard). You'd also have to add any acceleration that might occur: + (Ax)(t^2)
There is a law against this, and it's one of the laws of physics.
I see no problem letting them guess my speed as long as they make an *educated* guess. I'm sure most of them have degrees in physics or mathematics anyway. They're probably just working temporarily as cops because they're in-between university research projects. They'll probably be using this equation:
Vxf = xi + Vxi(t)

It's all Geek Squad's fault. The very definition of geek was tainted the moment they started bundling their services at Best Buy.

Really? We look to to schools to to fix the problems with with society?

That was my first thought as well, and I have promptly blocked them.
Too bad you have to click a link and go back in order to block. I almost always middle-click links to open them in new tabs.

A professor at Stanford did a less rigorous version of this study using marshmallows and bells in the 1960s: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/05/18/090518fa_fact_lehrer

Dear Google,
I just found a bug in Gmail. We should talk.

I found a snake on Mars! But...it slithered away (in the top left corner of the image).

I really hope this is the last I ever have to hear about SCO.
Zero of course....it's the starting point!

Tell me about it. My "bad" slashdot karma won't go away anytime soon with all my crappy posts.
