I have many complaints about the first company I worked for out of school hiring and paying me as an intern instead of a full employee, but I will admit that I did get quite good experience out of the deal.
I graduated with Honors last year, went through a 6-month internship (we're going to hire you on full time and pay you market rate! Honest! It's just this is a bad time right now, we don't have the authorization for more manpower, we'll keep you on as an intern though...) - found another job with that experience easily enough.
Now with only a year's experience, I'm getting headhunter E-mails once or twice a month.
There have been reports that Adam Lanza obsessively played Call of Duty and Starcraft before he went on a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last Friday.
You change throughout your life, and can realize the views you're holding are wrong. I was certainly a little shit when I was younger, and will probably look back at the views I hold today and be at least a little embarrassed.
Interesting historical note; "Just following orders" has totally been an acceptable excuse.
Most people point to the Nuremburg trials when making the comparison, but every single person convicted in those trials was in a position of authority actively giving orders. No-one was even put on trial for being a front-line guard.
He's not violating the TOS, but he's certainly accessing the computer system without authorization, which is the actual felony crime being discussed. If anything, his guilt is even more unambiguous.
He has been denied his right to a speedy trial, [i]it is already unambiguously unfair[/i]. There's nothing leading me to believe the court's contempt for due process will stop once the actual trial begins.
Being held without trial for a year violates his right to a speedy trial. An even-handed, non-political judge following the law in any sense of the word would have dismissed all charges due to the violation of due process.
Presumably, the set of people interested in extensively using mods and script extenders are also the set of people who are willing and able to download a pirated version of the game.
So they just figure, "Let's just keep our fans happy."
Eh, Barring employees from talking about wages is a violation of The national labor relations act. I'd cry tears of joy if I had it on paper someone was firing me for that reason, because winning the resulting lawsuit would be basically guaranteed.
Just because some of the people in the neighboring countries are of arabian descent too?
Because the leaders of those neighboring countries publicly declare that the Palestinians are their brothers, and lead their countries to war on the Palestinians behalf. Yes, I know those leaders are hypocritical fucks that are just using the Palestinians as political tools instead of being honestly concerned with their welfare, I'd still rather live somewhere where the leadership is paying lip service to the idea of me being an equal to all the other citizens.
If all the resources that have been spent on attacking Israel were instead spent on providing transportation, housing, and education for Palestinian Refugees, the problem would have been solved by now.
Eh, if every other surrounding neighborhood had a culture similar to my own, and felt so strongly about it that they were willing to go to war to try to throw that new incoming nationality out of my neighborhood, only failing because they weren't strong enough to succeed militarily...
I'd move to one of those surrounding neighborhoods.
Eh, there are the idiots who flunked out because they were incapable. They're flipping burgers now.
Then there are the smart ones who did a cost/benefit analysis. Even the Engineering professors told us straight up in Intro to Engineering, management is where the money is. They split off into things like MIS, did about a tenth of the work the Engineers do, and have job prospects nearly as good as we do.
It's economic realities like that drawing a lot of the best and brightest away from Engineering.
I'm graduating in may from a BSEE program, and I must say this is largely correct. Calculus and physics courses from freshman and sophmore year were largely sink-or-swim where about half the class would drop before we even reached the halfway point of the term. They had more students sign up then they had capacity to teach, so weeding out students was the explicit purpose of those classes, to the point where we'd lose 50% or more by halfway through the term, and of the half that remained, a fair number still failed.
Unnecessary homework load is the prime culprit. Freshman and Sophmore level classes will routinely assign homework where you'll learn how to solve a particular kind of problem the first time, and then repeat it with minor alterations another dozen times. Compare this to Junior and Senior level classes where we'll get three very difficult problems, and that's it. Additional studying or examples can be done at the student's discretion.
Since every class is loading you down with the same level of unnecessary busywork, you're inevitably so swamped that you stop sleeping, lose out on any kind of social life, and tear your hair out from the stress. Frankly, I sometimes wonder if I'm the stupid one for sticking with it, when I could have just said, "Fuck it," and coasted through a business major without even trying like several of my peers ended up doing.
Probably propaganda, I'd imagine whoever wrote it was comparing the weakest coffee they could find to the strongest Mountain Dew they ever sold, which would be in line with the "twice the caffeine" based on that list.
Claymores would be a bit more effective against Zombies than Frag Grenades. Claymores operate much like a very large shotgun shell, sending hundreds of steel BB's in a single directed blast. Optimizing for head level is a simple matter of setting them up in slightly more creative ways than normal, with the added advantage of zombies being mindless enough to walk into whatever trap you've got set up even if it's in plain sight.
Zombies with their legs blown off are still effectively incapacitated. Surprised or heavily wounded humans might get taken down, but a surprised or heavily wounded survivor is going to get taken down by healthy zombies in the near future regardless.

Drunk Drivers are often prevented from owning/driving cars; or at least forced to own a car with a built in sobriety detector.
There have been reports that Adam Lanza obsessively played Call of Duty and Starcraft before he went on a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last Friday.
Starcraft? Seriously? That breeds killers?
you two appear to be agreeing with each other, and yet insisting that your opinions are different.
You change throughout your life, and can realize the views you're holding are wrong. I was certainly a little shit when I was younger, and will probably look back at the views I hold today and be at least a little embarrassed.

Dude, Genocide worked pretty well for us in America.
I mean, there are a few natives still out there, but alcoholism is gonna finish'em off in a few more decades.
I hear wonderful things about what genocide did for the Australians, too.

You answered your own question there.
But you seem pretty bad at basic logic, so I don't want to hear your explaination anymore.
Explain it to me then, how does this lawsuit make any sense whatsoever?
Are you saying this is an example of the system functioning as intended?
Because that's even worse than if GP is correct.
Probably propaganda, I'd imagine whoever wrote it was comparing the weakest coffee they could find to the strongest Mountain Dew they ever sold, which would be in line with the "twice the caffeine" based on that list.
Arguable, It depends on the brand of coffee you're drinking, according to The first link I could find on the subject
Caffeine yes. It certainly applies to coffee, you'd need to drink an awful lot of soda to experience anything.
Get addicted enough to the stuff, then stop cold turkey. You get a bitchin' headache for a few days.
It's really mild compared to what I hear smokers go through, but it's still an addiction.
