I concur. When I was in primary school we used textbooks, backpacks, car hoods, plywood, and any other flat object we could get our hands on to make sleds.
I'm involved in one of those churches in the hundreds of people, and I can tell you the cost of the bulbs alone we use for our projectors cost more than most schools would feel comfortable spending on a complete projector. Unless the school has received a grant for it I doubt they will shell out for that good of a projector, even then I was at a school that turned it down a grant due to maintenance(mainly replacement bulbs) cost. Another debate for school purchasing is if it will get enough use to buy one instead of getting a few cheaper ones that can be installed in or moved between classrooms.
I am wondering that too. Currently Windows 7 and the few applications I have added take up around 20 gigs. I don't think that is too bad, but no way in hell I can see trimming it down for a 8 gig SSD and have any room for anything meaningful.
I have just started playing with it, and almost immediately found to run Google Chrome in the 64-bit version you need to add a parameter to the executable. Don't have any ISO's to test right now, anyone know if it lets you mount them, or a 3rd party solution that works?
I don't know on this one, Google has a lot more hits for "as an FYI", by an order of magnitude. Saying it aloud I think it sounds better as "an an FYI" too, probably because of the eff sound.
(Or in my recent experience with Fallout 3) Are you sure you want to overwrite the last save, you might have passed a glitch you can't recover from between now and then and won't know it for another 15 minutes.
I have to conclude you have never worked in a factory. I can tell you exactly where this money goes - factory equipment, transportation, and people. People who design ever facet of the car, combined with the union assemblers who collude to make sure they get their 1.5x overtime pay. Add to that the equipment that needs to be retooled for every line/model. Frankly they depend on economies of scale to profit, and if they don't sell a metric buttload (or charge a metric buttload, e.g. Bugatti) they will never get out of the red.
Granted I spent most my life in the country, where four wheel drive is actually needed due to weather and cost-prohibitive road maintenance, but the only trucks I see without bed liners are old Ford Customs with wood beds. Maybe in cities this is an issue, but around here it is unusual not to see a bed filled to the brim with scrap metal, sugar beets, gravel, or farming equipment.
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing.
When you take into account the work of the "professional" editors here I have no idea how any post here can be anything other than casual writing.
I wouldn't be that worried about porn and cracked games, I would be much more concerned about Tubgirl, Goat.cx, Two Girls One Cup, etc. That stuff is scarring.
And the world has changed drastically then. There are things easily found on the internet that can seriously damage the psyche and development of a child. If the children were always monitored when using these I would say leave them completely unrestricted. In this situation I think it would best to put in some lock downs.
To add to your point, I work at a company that uses a wide mix of programs (FOSS and closed source). Our company also staffs over 30 programmers (we are not a software or computer-related company, the programmers just do in-house stuff). There are still programs we pay for that are $3,000+ a seat [plus the worker that runs it, who gets $60,000/yr plus benefits, in the midwest (where the cost of living is WAY lower than the coasts or large cities)]. Something that gets the job done, and done well is worth that.
While the iPhone may have a fraction of the marketshare as symbian, I would have a hard time arguing against Apple's strategy to reach that marketshare. The App store is on every iPhone, meaning any app you get into the App store is easy to access on every iPhone. If I have a symbian handset how do I know about your app? How do I get your app? How do I pay for your app? How do I read reviews for your app? When it comes to marketability of an app, I think the iPhone wins over the phones with bigger market share.
Except that the vaccines only protect from 4 strains of herpes, all of which are transmitted by sex (well 11 can be transmitted orally, but is not associated with cervical cancer). Also the vaccination can be administered as late as 26 years old, so your hypothetical case should be able to get the vaccine herself regardless of her parents neglect to do so.
Clarified you are still way off. The "fundies", as you put it, don't think their daughters will become instant sluts, but they see the vaccine as lowering the risk of sex. The lower risk of sex means there is less reason not to engage in pre-material sex. They don't think Jenny will become an instant slut, what they think is Jenny will have fewer reasons to say no to Bill's requests put it in, just a little bit, just to see how it feels.
I think it might actually have a kind of opposite effect. By focusing on Apple worse offenders continue on under the radar. In addition it sends a message to the Dells and HPs that "if you advertise your green programs, we will rip you apart for publicity". So as a competing manufacturer, why would you take on expenses to advertise, or even clean up, your manufacturing process?
Except that aim doesn't do anything. It is completely based on stats. It doesn't matter if you unload a shotgun at close range, if your stats re low it is very possible every shot will be a miss.

Actually that could be very handy. If only I had that during school in eighth grade, "You are becoming erect, cancel or allow?".

I, on the other hand, say that language is what the people make it, and that Google is a better authority on that than the Queen, Oxford, or Webster.

What in the world? "Potentially damaging information"?
/b/
That is all I am going to say.
Yes the smart ones will, but the smart ones will be able to better handle potentially traumatic things they might encounter.

And I can reference several studies that conclude smoking has no negative side effects.
I guess if you ignore Manbearpig's reign over the darknet.

Pete Hines: Yes, all combat is governed by die rolls. So if you fire in real time and aim perfectly, you might still fail a roll and miss your target.

What about reversing it? Like make a water tower above it funneling down to a spicket with a fitting for the tube in the end?
