1) Universities don't control the cost of textbooks, publishers do
Professors require that students use the latest edition of the books, killing the used book market and keeping prices artificially high.
2) A quick look a resident's cost for Canadian universities shows an average tuition of $5428 US and a max of $17808 US. The average cost of a 4-year college in the US, is, by comparison, at least $23,600, and the most expensive about $43k
The Canadian tuition you quoted is per-year (see official stats here
Get over yourself. When people talk about sugar, NOBODY is talking about naturally occurring fructose or lactose.
Actually, they do. Your body does not directly burn fructose, natural or otherwise (unless you're a plant). In humans, it is mostly metabolized in the liver.
Only because there are so many browsers that MS has managed to get Bing setup as the default search engine
But the fact that Google comes as the default search on Chrome (with over 50% market share), as well as every Android and iOS, does not faze you in the least.
Yes, there are, but the stringency of the regulation depends on the jurisdiction.
Regulatory bodies may demand, among other things: - Validation of the mathematical models of the games and the RNG. - Vigorous and ongoing 3rd-party testing to ensure compliance. - Disclosure of the source code, the build environment and hashes (to ensure that the code that actually runs is the one submitted). - Various levels of access to the servers and the servers and the databases. - Sending them the details of every hand or spin, either before or after the fact (for approval or reporting). - Limiting the amounts that can be wagered (and sometimes won), and/or having "responsible gaming" controls for self-imposed limits. - Having certain information easily accessible by the players, such as: game odds, history of hands/spins, etc.
If you are concerned about possible foul play, I suggest you (a) check the the regulations for the jurisdiction you play in, and (b) stick to the bigger companies (preferably publicly traded ones) that have more to lose from tarnished reputation and increased regulator scrutiny than they can gain from monkey business.
Disclaimers: - I work in the industry. - I have designed and implemented features to address regulatory requirements. - I have assisted CSRs in investigating player complaints (they are always treated seriously since we can lose a license to operate if the regulators are unhappy). - The opinions presented here are my own, I do not speak for my employer.
Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment; but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer on this planet, you are a plague.
You wasted 30 minutes of your life on this? Let's never mind the fact that it's your *life* you wasted and look at from an economic standpoint. You make how much per hour? Indian in call center makes how much per hour? I don't see how you are winning.
Wait until you hear about people that waste *hours* of their life watching a movie or a play or a concert, and they even pay for it! Not to mention reading books, that could waste *days*!
The police, like vampires, cannot enter a person's home uninvited. There are some exceptions to the rule, for example a warrant negates the need for an invitations, but luckily vampires rarely manage to obtain a warrant.
Agree, and also maybe because religious groups aren't lobbying to have "intelligent design" taught as SCIENCE, and that perhaps the earth is not flat and jesus didn't ride dinosaurs.
Article 148 of the Russian Criminal Code disagrees with your assertion.

In science mostly the Kelvin scale is used, which suggests that no scientist even approaches room-temperature IQ.

Your right to free speech effectively ends when you start killing people. [...] We're America. We saved the world by killing Nazis
The irony is strong in this one.

That would have killed the joke.
It's a fun quote delivered by a good actor
Which was the sole reason for its inclusion.
Yaknow, when you're quoting a genocidal slavemaster to support your argument, you're not really making a good point for your side. Just sayin'.
I had an argument? Pray tell me what would it be.
The AC post above me reminded me of that quote, so I posted it.
Oh, and that would be a *fictional* genocidal slavemaster, from a movie meant to entertain.
Humans = the ultimate form of pollution.

The last hope will be with browser makers: no standard gets supported if code isn't written.
What part of "EME is supported by [...] Google, Microsoft, and Apple" you did not understand?

Thank you.
homophones can be a bit tricky

That's why you should never talk to police
FBI agents told employees they were not in trouble, and that the bureau was merely gathering facts [...]
Translation: They did not have valid warrants.
If you find something that does not work well, open an issue.
The purple-hangouts plugin works fine for my requirements.
Pidgin (or any other libpurple-based client, like Adium) with the purple-hangouts plugin works fine for my requirements.
Governments are not evil. People are evil. People in positions of power (e.g., governments) just get more opportunities to exercise their evil.
Been here half a century, never heard that one. I have seen the boobies in the Galapagos though.
I have never been to the Galapagos so I cannot comment on the boobies, but I've seen some great tits in Europe.
"Doesn't mean they won't not be reissued" -- I can barely parse that.
This doesn't happen to people that won't not update their parser.

You will be modded to -1, as you should be, because you did not provide evidence for your claims.
