You got it half right, thieves choose common color cars because A)They blend in and swapping plates for a similar model and color is simple B)the resale on a hot pink car is tough Even if the car is going to be chopped it will still need to be driven there
Maybe it's because I went to a private school, but I didn't see this dynamic, the nerds were not bothered they hung out with everyone else there wasn't much of a problem. The kids that got picked on were the small kids with napoleon complexes and would seek out fights. We didn't have guys taking lunch money and generally people would stand up to the bully if they were mercilessly torturing somebody, that's how I got into my only fight in HS, I still remember telling the dean I didn't throw a punch (elbows work better in close quarters).
Dumb kids with dumber parents will spend hours on Youtube, twitter etc and learn nothing of consequence.
Nothing of consequence? How can watching videos of idiots doing stupid things and getting the latest updates from your friends like "I just took a huge dump" be considered nothing of consequence.
I don't think you quite understand the purpose of the first amendment.
I think it is you who don't understand it, the 1st amendment protects people from being punished by the Government, so if I were to say that Obama take it up the ass from Pelosi, I would not be taking it up the ass from Buba in prison.
There's something below Fox News in integrity? That's very difficult to imagine - even Cthulhu has some principles.
How about CBS, using forged documents in an attempt to get a president impeached. Yellow Journalism has been around for a long time and the most famous yellow journalist is Pulitzer, with the help of rival Hearst they both played a role in getting the US in the Spanish American War. I have always found it funny that the highest award for journalism was named after a man who would be running a National Enquirer type paper today.
A lot of times (I suspect most of the time) these sorts of class-action lawsuits are instigated by not just the usual suspects (greedy lawyers), but also with the support of the companies themselves. The lawyers get a big payday. The company gets shielded from any further individual lawsuits. And the consumers get stripped of their right to sue individually, for the "settlement" of a "5% off your next purchase" coupon.
In other words, when you hear "class-action lawsuit," don't think "Yeah, we're sticking it to the big guys!" Think "No, they're sticking it to *YOU*."
Just because there is a class action lawsuit does not mean you have to join it, you are free to sue them yourself and try to get what you think you are entitled to.
How are they discriminated against? If two gays are living together and one gets the head of household deduction $8,350 (if they don't claim a domestic partnership and have kids) or $5,700 if not and the other will get the $5,700, while married couples get $11,400 filing jointly or $5,700 filing separately, so gay couples get the same deduction or higher based on circumstances then married couples . Now for the tax schedule two gays making $100,000 each in taxable income pay $21,709 or $43,418 together while a married couple filing separately pay $22,122 each or $44,244 together or if they file jointly they pay $44,244. The only way married couples might come out ahead in the tax game is when one spouse makes significantly more then the other and files jointly. So a married couple where one stays home and has 100k in taxable income will only pay $17,363 while the gay couple pays $21,709 but the non working gay could fie a return and get money back so even this discrepancy in taxes paid probably is not there. Looks like Google needs to give married couples a raise for the horrible tax discrimination they receive.
Even if 99% of all comments are garbage, that is simply an argument for better filtering, not that the crowd has no wisdom. The whole point of the wisdom of the crowd in the first place was to apply filtering mechanisms to ensure the best gets to the top. It seems to work well for Wikipedia and it even will work for this comment if you mod me +1.
The reason 99% of comments are garbage is the motivation behind the comments, a well though out insightful comment may take too much effort for the little gain (many intelligent comments simply get passed over), while a witty comment or troll that does nothing to advance the discussion takes much less effort and has more gain.
Wow, how little you know. I can trivialize anything too. "How hard is it to make a CPU? It just takes a bit of math and digital guide."
Did anyone at Apple consider the polarization of the waves from the tower? How about the bandwidth? What about the antenna pattern? Did they account for near-field interference, which I am sure they will have in such a tiny package, or a hand on the phone for example. How about the antenna gain?
The tower polarization is circular so antenna orientation is not a problem, the bandwidth is not too large where a single antenna can't handle the cell phone bandwidth, all cellphones have multipath problems but the signal can generally be cleaned up some even use the multipath to verify the signal, gain is a function of the antenna and can be easily characterized. The problem lies with lack of testing, the antennas were probably designed to handle all those problems but they didn't foresee the two antenna's being coupled together which changed the impedance and length. The real problem with apple's external antenna is not the coupling issues it is ESD sooner or later the LNA in the phone will get zapped and i doubt it will be able to handle it.
The funny thing about it is that their sales probably wouldn't take a hit if this problem was know before they went on sale, most people don't purchase the iphone for it's functionality, it is simply an accessory / status symbol and the fact that it doesn't work in certain circumstances doesn't change it's "coolness", heck showing your friends how your phone doesn't work increases your coolness.
They need to apply the law to all parts of the government, all information regarding our government should be public unless it is classified. No more meetings behind closed doors hiding the deceit from the public. If our representatives knew that their actions were being recorded the ethics of our representatives would go through the roof.
even for a collection of antisocial nerds you're still out there, over analyzing a joke so you can appear to be intelligent. Next your going to tell me that knowledge is not power because you have a lot of knowledge but still live in you parents basement or that time is not money because you have lots of spare time hanging out by yourself but no spare money because your allowance is not that big.
What part of the Fox News motto "Fair and Balanced" do you believe is not a claim to be unbiased?
What you fail to realize is that when fox news started using it's fair and balanced slogan was when cBS NBC ABC all claimed to be unbiased but clearly were, I have always thought of it as a jab at the other media outlets' bias.
So after penises are filtered are inverted penises next, then brown eyes, then rick-rolling, then mutilated body parts,... the amount of crap on the internet in nearly limitless.
Somebody that actually gets it, a grocery store doesn't have to carry every kind steak they can choose to carry bore's head, sterling silver, or a generic if people want a different brand they can shop elsewhere.

Educated?
A degree in sociology, art, cultural studies, ... does not make one educated.

I, for one, welcome the pants and shirtless future (unhealthy fatties won't survive, so no worries about that particular visage).
Just sunburnt wangs, that sounds like fun.

Because they'll vote for Sarah Palin.
Why are liberals so scared of Palin, do they fear a strong willed woman that some women would vote blindly for instead of blinding voting democrat.
Seriously. If you can't understand this:

then maybe you shouldn't be voting.
Intelligence as a requirement for voting has been fought for a long time see voting tests.
