OK, so obviously that's not why he's going back:-).
Another possible reason could be that he wants to learn stuff. If that's the case, (speaking as a guy with 2.5 degrees) STOP GO BACK, IT'S A TRAP. Much better to figure out what you want to learn and go learn it. A degree will make you take a bunch of courses you aren't interested in, don't need, and will never use -- all for the sake of an accreditation that you probably don't need. In courses that you are interested in, you will end up skimming over the stuff you are interested in, and get bogged down in busy work.
Another reason to go to school is the networking (that can be the biggest benefit of some programs, such as an MBA). Since you are running a business you will likely be attending part-time. That's isn't the same as being a full-time student, you will be a bit of an outsider, and so the networking is less effective.
Why do many organized religions have taboos against sex outside of marriage? Is it because you will go to hell if you have sex, or perhaps it is because people recognized that lots of promiscuous sex was correlated to diseases?
...and incest taboos reduce birth defects.
Some other religious taboos aren't so easy to explain though:-) "Ye shall not cut off the hair of your heads round about your temples." (Leviticus 19:27)
>I haven't read about any chosen-ciphertext attacks during the Enigma crack
I saw a TV documentary that referred to this: the Brits would depthcharge the hell out of some random piece of ocean, then wait for those coords to be radioed back by the wolfpack. They called it 'seeding'.
One problem with bouncing messages to spammers is that you break the rule of "never reply to spam". The bounce causes some spammers to flag your entry as a verified address and thus more valuable (they don't know and don't care that you don't read the message). That gets you on more lists, sucking up more bandwidth.
I have a spammed address that goes back to '93, and I 'only' get a hundred a day, not a thousand -- maybe because I haven't done much bouncing.
Pardon? I don't recall that at all. Waterhouse was breaking Japanese codes, not American. And he tasked Shaftoe with covering up the fact that they had broken Axis codes. But he never broke Shaftoe's codes. Can you provide some more context of this?
The resonance between this story and the current war is so strong that it's almost impossible to watch it for what it is.
Huh? I watched the whole movie and never twigged to this 'coincidence', and I still don't buy it. I think it was about what it's about: an action flick around a novel premise.
The yarn unfolds as a long string of chase scenes mixed with some flashbacks and some pre-cognitive dodges.
Those dodges were a lot of fun. But you don't mention the thing that intrigued me the most: the series of encounters with some really interesting characters (who oddly never show up again outside of their independent vignette): the gengineer, the underground surgeon, the guy with the holosuites (he reminded me of Quark), and Leo Crow. I found that to be an intriguingly unique element.
Tom Cruise plays a cop who flies off in a jet pack to nab the soon-to-be-bad guys and lock them away before they kill.
I don't recall him putting on a jet pack. In the fight scene with the jet packs, the gimmick is that he is the only guy NOT wearing jet pack.
If you don't want the change, don't upgrade. (pardon the italics).
If only it were that simple. Sometimes you have to upgrade:
I recently had to upgrade Quicken to be able to continue downloading transactions. Quicken now sells subscriptions for updates! Talk about planned obsolescence.
Help desk only supports the most recent version(s).
You need to keep current to be able to swap files with other users (e.g., MS Office).
Surely computer graphics these days are advanced enough to eradicate the need for real filming? Maybe this is all just a giant publicity stunt?
Assuming they could get a permit for a 600' overflight, they could digitally remove unwanted vehicles and pedestrians. Remember "405", that homemade flick with a plane landing on a deserted highway ? Those film-makers could hardly close the highway for filming: they digitally removed the other cars.
In an otherwise stupefying textbook on electronics, a footnote to a discussion on AC circuits read, "Contrary to popular belief, Captain Kirk did not invent the phasor diagram." The captain also showed up in the index.
This was an important part of my undergrad physics degree. We repeated a lot of fundamental experiments and so got to work out a lot of constants for ourselves: after using Milliken to calculate 'e', we used Helmholtz coils to determine e/m, and thereby determine the mass of an electron.
After determining that the electron was a particle (above), we 'proved' that it was a wave (two-slit experiment inside a CRT).
One of my faves, "94. Rumor has it that a military plane flipped over when crossing the equator." Imagine the pilot, "WTF!..."
According to this list, not a rumor, but it "was caught in simulation".

No they don't. ASCAP later rescinded the order. See the afterword to this article.
Anyone? Please?
Sadly that's not a record. At least I have deja view that someone posted a comment like that before...
Yes, that's how it is being used. That's NOT what ontology means.
Taxonomy would be a better word for this.
Because most people don't read.
Where have you been?
When Harry first saw Dobby on his bed, every kid in the theatre (including my own) whispered, "Dobby!". That was the best moment of the film for me.
In the first movie it was when he got his Christmas presents, "The Invisibility Cloak!"
Flash: SETF has already detected an alien transmission, "All your shares are belong to us."
I went to University in order to get a good job.
:-).

Indie music is one thing I haven't seen advertized by spam.

Wow, thanks for the detailed answer. The funeral rang a bell for me.
'Ask Slashdot' works!

That should have been 'insightful', not 'funny'. IIRC, one of the reasons for having ACs in the first place was to allow insiders to say their piece.

Does anyone have information on such work?
The ratings info is merely additional content that is to be shared P2P.
I imagine that P2P CF would be organized like Francis Heylighen's "Superorganism".

Bill Gates could pay for it. Twice.

How come we don't hear about CTS amoungst piano players, organist and the like.

It was great, a real mind-fuck.
