Lately, I've just been adding "rapidshare" to the end of a search for any music. It is remarkably successful (and EASIER, and FASTER than your method).
She suggested that Monroe's Office of Career Advancement shows preferential treatment to students with excellent grades. "They favor more toward students that got a 4.0. They help them more out with the job placement," she said.
Damn straight. The university helps what they percieve to be good students find jobs in preference to percieved bad students. Your university is not altruistic, and wants to spread the message that it has good people.
In her complaint, Thompson says she seeks $70,000 in reimbursement for her tuition and $2,000 to compensate for the stress of her three-month job search.
... And she is also sueing them because 'life is hard'. COME ON.
Her resume says "I have no internship or experience".
Her GPA says that she got more C's than D's, and more D's than B's.
One of these is okay (C student because of a 30+ hour/week intership, or an A student that neglected experience is a okay hire).
If she can answer my questions well, she'll get a job. If she can't, she won't.
She can't, she ain't getting a job, and she is SUEING the university for it.
Why would the founders of Skype be threatening to revoke the licensing agreement? What is their side?
Because they like having money and would like more of it. Legally, they can rip off eBay in a shoddy deal and potentially get another large sum of money.
Also, they retained the patents, so they are free to rebuild their own software again and launch it under a new name (after getting a new network).
Seriously, this is about playing fair. Broadcasting radio stations don't have to pay the same fees that internet radio stations do. The playing field should be level.
If this was your only job, you would have to pay rent/utilities on the building where you work in addition to rent/utilities on the building where you live. You also have to pay your own health insurance, dental/vision, and retirement/401K.
The above should cut it down to around a bit above (if not below when you have an office) the average starting salary of an Engineer (55K at last I checked).
"Part of the thrill of parenting, is the gamble about what kind of child you will end up with. To be able to choose the traits of your children, seems to make it all a bit superficial to me. Why not just grow them in a test tube?"
So, I would be wrong to choose to be superficial? Is growing babies in test tubes or on farms an inherrantly bad thing? For one, it would probably increase the rate of child survival and decrease the pain and serious health risk of giving birth.
"I believe that there are forces in this world that we do not understand, that we should not understand, and that we should not meddle with because we don't understand them."

I live in Florida (Tampa ish). I remember when Hurricane Katrina was going to hit Florida. I remember when Charley was going to hit Tampa. I remember when Jeanne wasn't going to hit Tampa. The news headlines at the time said "Hurricane will hit ____" rather than the correct "Hurricane is predicted to hit ___".
Charley especially was predicted to hit Tampa a day before it decided that it wasn't.
So no, while we are splitting hairs, the news headlines should not ever state the future as fact.
PS - there are plenty of hurricanes in this area that have decided not to hit the US mainland and instead go for Mexico
The future is an uncertain thing. Perhaps America will be destroyed with Russian nuclear missiles by tomorrow. Perhaps Obama will be assassinated and someone else will be chosen for the post. Perhaps he will turn down the post at the last minute. Perhaps there will be another breakthrough.
The title (possibly wrongfully, but probably not) assumes that Chu has no additional breakthroughs (or even research published) before he takes an office (which he may be unwilling or unable to do, and which may not exist) that he was appointed to (assuming the appointment is not revoked or otherwise taken apart) for a president and country (that may not exist tomorrow). You cannot say with definite certainty that this is "Chu's Final Breakthrough Before Taking Office".
I know that we are splitting hairs here, but the point is that articles titles should not proclaim anything about the future, ever. They should be solidly based in facts, and not misleading in any way.
Unless you can end your sentence in that, there is a workaround.
Most of the time, that sentence ends in "...which cannot be attacked, unless..., but that would be so difficult so as not to be worth it." The shocking thing here is that the technology will get cheaper and the reason to workaround it will grow.
Thank the Lord that *nix is so intuitive that you need have need of a support forum.
I support Linux, I really do, but the community aspect is a large part of solving problems in any environment. Hint: not just approved Windows or Linux people can solve problems, or have them.
You are missing the point. You can BUY 8 cores right now for your grandma from Dell.
This means that businesses are buying 64 core machines and up for things like graphics rendering, real-time image processing, and server loads. Hell, the place I work for has a 64 core machine for handling E-mail remotely.
Within a 1-2 years, even people that WANT to run Microsoft products in a high-end environment will not be able to.
Yes, you are correct, Grandma will not have a 256 core machine on Windows 7, and will probably not face that choice. However, many things that she interacts with (her E-mail, or ebay, for instance) will not even be supported.

I work in the Gov/DoD world with a few contractors (CSS), and we have fairly precise coding standards. Hungarian notation, no multiple return paths, modulated code, etc.
Because of this, if you want to develop a completely new program, it is quite easy. You take the Thread-safing class, the logging class, the TCP/IP server class, and the QT GUI class and you have yourself a quick networked threaded test application in less than a day (a week if you are an intern).
