I was just about to comment on that too. Anything Monster makes is likely to be found much cheaper and of comparable quality through another manufacturer, if it's even worth purchasing in the first place. Just because the rig cost $18,000 doesn't mean it's worth $18,000.
Exactly, fuck companies who do this. If people are using your space which you paid for to advertise their own services, the only way to truly "opt out" is to ditch them.
If I'm transferring a domain away from somebody that means I'm either not happy with the service they were providing or for some other reason I just don't want to give them any more of my money. Denying transfer requests like that just because I changed the admin contact 59 days before the domain is set to expire essentially means a company I don't want to have anything else to do with is reaching back into my pocket and swiping another $10 as a parting gift to themselves. It's the principle of the matter, not the fact that I'd still be out about the same amount of money either way.
It's just as dumb as Comcast wanting to charge $2 to cancel your internet service.
It's definitely one of those sports that is boring to watch on TV, at the very least. Going to a college or minor league game is a good way to spend an afternoon with the kids or some friends, as long as you eat beforehand so you don't talk yourself into paying $4 for a hot dog, $6.50 for a bag of peanuts, etc etc etc. I've heard hockey's the same way, but where I live it's pretty tough to see a live hockey game let alone one on TV.
Yeah, some of the vitriol towards higher education has me scratching my head. I thought a lack of a proper higher education was why we have dumb fucks trying to slice apart the science curriculum in public schools. At least the OP has goals for himself that don't involve living in his mom's basement and buying spare computer parts with whatever money comes in from the Paypal tip jar on his webpage.
Sure seems like it, doesn't it? Get the athletes in and feed them easy classes so the football program can continue to fund the entire athletics department, right down to the $3 million/year coaches. Anything to keep name recognition up and keep money flowing into the local economy. Even self-proclaimed academic stalwarts like Michigan and Stanford have disproportionate numbers of athletes in "general studies", "communications studies", sociology, etc.
The problem is, my upper-middle class family had more down to Earth plans for me and my college choices (about $30,000/year more down to Earth, actually), so financial aid and college savings won't come anywhere near MIT's price tag.
MIT's website says financial aid is guaranteed for admitted students.
I suppose I don't have an answer to the original question, but get their financial aid folks on the horn and see what they have in the way of work study, internships, etc. Whatever you got back on your FAFSA probably isn't the last word in the matter.
That's the whole idea behind censorship; you (John Q. Public) don't see it.

All they did was list a couple of things that are automatically modded to/dev/null. Who's to say that's an exhaustive list? There may be rules you don't know about. Like:
- All complaints about random_object_001 are to be deleted.
- All complaints about random_inspector_001 or random_security_station_001 are to be deleted.
This isn't insightful; it's ignorant.
I think the word you're looking for is skeptical, not ignorant.
Yes, I'm guessing they set the filter up so you can't email somebody a link to http://my_homebox_ip_number:8081/ and have it be a spoofed Paypal signin page or something like that.
It might have been the first standalone, depending on whether you actually classify the CD-i as a game console or not. But definitely not the first video game console (or accessory) to use optical media.

Intellectual commentary?
You must be new here! Welcome.

The fact that anybody needs four video cards is disappointing in itself.

I love me some college football, but damn.

God Hates Us All.
I think it'd still get questioned, the questions just wouldn't include everyone's favorite overused MS joke.
/cue comment about Steve Ballmer throwing chairs at liberal bloggers
But surely these actions at least put some terrists out of work?!
/facepalm
Yes, God forbid a company should reform its bad behavior and be better corporate citizens. Can't have that, can we?
Because they're not Microsoft, therefore they get a pass.
People said the dev kits for the PS2 were a nightmare too, and well...
More likely, it's just some junior programmer getting his panties in a knot because he has to learn something new.
5...4...3...
Mmm.... IPA... it soothes the soul.
No censorship there that I could see.

That's what, a fiftieth of the population pretty much decided for everybody?
That's what happens when you sit out a format war and wait for a winner to emerge. You let somebody else decide for you.
There is no shortage of "experts" with opinions, and as long as "experts" like these are getting face time on national television, seeking an "expert" opinion is a total crapshoot.
