I'm 95% certain that a music publishing company has been doing this for decades. I don't remember which company off hand, but on every page there is one wrong note. It's a very respectable company as I recall.
Yes, but until a virus comes out for it (which they haven't yet, with the possible exception of proof of concepts) and when it does, everyone will know immediately cause news of it'll be all over the place.
Scientists in Italy have developed which will move around the lower digestive tract using legs.
Wow, two news stories in one. First, Scientists in Italy have developed. Who would've thunk it. And apparently they're moving around the lower digestive tract. Using legs noless!
Addressing point one, Huckleberry Finn is about 50 pages shorter than Dune and is mandatory reading (or was at my high school).
As for dissecting the book itself, we never fully dissected all the points in any books I read in class.
I know I was brought up in a more open area and as such, I was allowed to read the entire series and do reports on it for an independent lit class which involved everyone talking about their book and discussing it at varying points.
That all being said, when I had English classes, one of them we were given three books to choose from and worked in smaller groups. We had discussion groups with topics directed by the teacher and quizzes over our individual books. For a course such as this one, that seems like a very good option.
Back to the original topic, the list is just way too long for me to recommend just one, Asimov should be a must, one of the requirements in an English class my brother took was Childhood's End
Yeah, I know, time to bash on Google as a joke, but in all honesty, I can see this being a great tool for universities. Anytime I go to a friend's school and they reference the building there at, I just kinda go, "okay, what is that building and how would I get there?" Same with the way classrooms are labelled at my university. Some buildings use a 3 number system while others use 4. They all are supposed to have the 4 number system, but you can never find the 4 numbers on some buildings. The bathrooms in 2 of the buildings are impossible to find without knowing where they are first, and often times the guys bathroom is on the other floor on the other side of the building or the girls is two floors down, one floor over. Any public building that's old could benefit from this.
And to keep my geek card, I, for one, welcome our new cartographic overlords.
The problem here isn't amount of time spent in class. We already have enough of that. The problem is motivation. Ever notice that the Japanese have nearly double the suicide rate of the US? Much of the time this is merely because a student did poorly on a difficult test or didn't make it into that most prestigious university that they applied to. Unlike America, the oriental countries place a higher priority on education in schools. Americans are much more happy to see the high school football team make it to state than they are to have a student get a perfect score on the ACT/SAT or both. I know, my high school had 2 perfect scores on both in one year, but the football team made the news by having a better than 50% year.
Not that I really care about any of that, I always felt that you get out what you put into your education, and in college I find that to be even more true. I have learned more than any of my old roommates and I have jobs lined up before I graduate. One of my old roommates is in South Korea teaching English cause he couldn't find a job. The other one went back for a Masters cause he spent 9 months without a job after he graduated.
Bottom line, reward students who do well, get less focus on the damned sports, and for god's sake, pay teachers a salary such that well educated individuals don't feel as though teaching will make them enough money to just skim by.
The problem there is that virtually every artist is a member of ASCAP or BMI. You drop those groups and you drop your primary market share, and if you were Apple, would you want to lose your top sellers? I almost guarantee that every artist on the iTunes top Songs all the way to the top 100 are ASCAP or BMI.
The irony is that there is a third group, SESAC, that never gets mentioned or never goes through with this stuff, likely because it's the smallest group, but it's the only one that is For Profit. That's right, both ASCAP and BMI operate on a not-for-profit system, so at least some group works for the content creators, unlike the RIAA which works solely for the companies...
(Don't get me wrong, this is bullshit and I don't think it should be given a second thought, so I hope it won't.
This is the first time in my (albeit short) lifespan that I've hoped and prayed (pardon the pun) that there's some kind of afterlife, just so that I can finally meet the guy who made my career a possibility. Les, R.I.P. may your influence never be forgotten.
Yes, but a legal entity, such as a lawyer, making a statement such as this one on public TV is much different than an advertisement, which can hardly (especially in this country), if ever, be taken seriously.
My law professor gave the example that if I said, "I'll give anyone who climbs the flagpole naked 1000 bucks," and they don't do it, I'm in the clear. IF they do, I'm screwed out of 1000 bucks because I made a public statement that a number of people witnessed. Even if they start up and I tell everyone, the person climbing included, that I won't follow through, they can sue me and win for the verbal contracted initiated.
IANAL and not studying to be one, just taking a couple law classes cause they're interesting.
The only thing I can think of is to have an additional fee for this project, unless you're looking at something like the light bulb that you were referencing. The other key thing is, do you have enough irons to go around. Not everyone solders or even knows how to at all, so you need to make sure that you have enough soldering irons for the students either to work individually or as small groups.
So he's no better than the vast majority of people out there if he claims it as his own, what do I care, it's the first I've heard it and therefore, until I see the same quote (exactly) or he tells me to credit someone else, I'll credit him.
But correct me if I'm wrong, the fact that it's a CD/DVD allows one to use any hack that's discovered after the software has been installed that doesn't require a reboot? Sure that limits a lot of things, but still, that's not exactly effective.
Of course, if they don't update anyway, wtf does it matter?
This is pretty much the same thing that happened to Analog Audio tape. I'm not talking cassettes, I'm talking the 2" variety. There used to be a bunch of companies that made it, but then digital came out and started to dominate the industry, now there's a huge niche of analog tape lovers in the recording world, and only two companies that still manufacture the tape. Frankly, this sounds like a great thing to invest in, if I weren't a poor hungry college student with no money whatsoever...
What would be better is if the performers don't ask for it to not be made available, the producers have to. Either way, it's not that great of a thing as there are still problems with it, like the fact that half the time the artist has probably passed by the 50 year mark. I mean, look at the Beatles stuff, even if he wanted to, Paul couldn't sign ask for the contract to be terminated as there's 3 others involved, 2 of which dead already. I definitely don't see this as much progress.
I greatly deem the Left Behind series of books to be extremely offensive, how do I get these results to match up with the books and movies that they decide are offensive?
If you have the finances to go for a lawyer (which you'll need in order to send such a threat in this society) you better take them for all its worth. If they contacted his clients with paper or left them voicemails (and they still have it) then he better be suing for libel and if it was merely phone calls, slander. Either way this is the type of case that you'll win unless you either are up against someone with a big legal department or be trying to lose

Well, as you obviously do not realize, that tract is rather large. Plus the scientists are exceptionally small.

Another example of this is Codeweavers, granted WINE is LGPL and not GPL. They contribute back to the parent project and still make money off of it.

Meh. I learned starting on PCBs, granted crummy quality PCBs, but PCBs nonetheless.

Killing accidently poorly moderated post. Meant to put insightful and hit redundant instead...
I'm rather surprised that the term taser isn't on the list. After all, it stands for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle.
