The image as currently released by China is scientifically useless, since there are known errors within it. If a new image were to be released that was known to be done correctly, then it could potentially be scientifically useful.
Is the goal to teach them the principles of the software they'll be using, or is it to teach them how to use a certain program? If it's the first, then either should do the job equally well (assuming they're both capable of exemplifying the principles you intend to teach). If it's the latter, then you should clearly use the software that's already there. The next question is one of support--who will be installing/supporting the software? If it's someone else, have you discussed installing OSS on the machines with them? And are you expecting them to troubleshoot issues for you when something goes wrong? Having run a computer lab, there's nothing worse than someone coming along saying "I want to teach this program" and then constantly coming back to you saying "Figure out these issues for me, because I don't know how to troubleshoot." It's not a problem if you're given a chance to use the software for a while beforehand and catch up on the issues/fixes in various forums. But when it's just thrown in your lap, it can be a royal pain.
Does he have any sort of proof to back up this assertion? Not to mention that TFA states that Bay has gone on record saying he prefers Blu-ray. Considering all the crap that Michael Bay has put out, I have no problem calling this his own version of FUD.
First thing I said. But there's people who wouldn't use open source methods if it was the only cure to cancer and they were riddled with tumors. Brainwashed zombies.
Of course not. Everyone knows that everything open source is viral...And viral is bad, mmmkay?
He's saying that the updates are available for the Steam version. He then goes on to state that he imagines that they're also available for the standalone PC version.
I come from a school district where we had about 25 kids out ~400 in my graduating class with a 4.0 (non-weighted). I always just thought that if you had that many students passing with a 4.0, that either the teachers were handing out grades too easily, or the curriculum needed to be stepped up with either more advanced topics or wider scope.
It also could mean that the school is already offering plenty of advanced courses in the form of AP classes. At my school (way back when), you got an extra 0.5 added onto your grade if it was an AP class. The effect of this was that the top 15 or so students out of a class of 450 had a GPA of 4.0. Of course, this was also at one of the highest-ranked schools in what was then considered the best school system in the country. And quite frankly, a number of those students went on to do quite well at Ivy League and other top-ranked schools.
Everyone that graducates should get a scholarship to help with the first year of college.
You know what? I'm actually in favor of that...with the stipulation that they pay it back in full if they drop out before completing their second year of college.
I thought a C meant that you were doing exactly the work that's expected of you (aka, Average). So now they're going to award scholarships for performing like you should? Crazy!
So, does anyone know who's going to be put in charge of the new company? And what about Vivendi? I thought they owned part of Blizzard. Any word on them?
But the press release also made another thing quite clear: their application does not include any partners. So. No partners means no Apple partnership, which means that there was nothing for AT&T's CEO to find out.
You misread the summary. By "joining Google in bidding" the poster meant that Apple will also be bidding on the 700MHz spectrum--not that they will partner with Google in bidding for it. This isn't a partnership--it's the two going head-to-head for something they both want.
Okay, you're right. I wrongly thought we were talking about backing up a customer's data before wipe/reinstall. I should've read the post you originally responded to more thoroughly.

At one point trying to uninstall Final Fantasy XI Online would remove hal32.dll.
That wouldn't be a smart thing to do, now would it, Dave?

SPOILER: It was a poor stitch/blend job.
Rorschach? Is that like a wedgie?
Also, try playing some really crappy games, so you can find out what doesn't work.
Got any suggestions?
So which Steve is this? Is it Apple Steve Jobs, or Disney/Pixar Steve Jobs?
Was the ruling unfair?
Hmmm, I can't think of a more appropriate place to ask that question...

Millions? I think you meant billions and trillions.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the HD-DVD association is comprised of a bit more than Microsoft.
Anyone know what sort of battery life this thing gets? : p

This looks more like a Daily Show script than anything else. Maybe they can just scrap their current writers and rely on blogger analysis.
Seeing as how the writers are on strike, I wouldn't go and give them any ideas...

As always, retro is the future!
Oh sure. Next I suppose you're going to try to convince us that there's a NEW Mexico. I'm not falling for that one again...
I'm kinda partial to Blizzavision.

Hey, I'm one of those people who actually owns up to mistakes (I do it IRL too). Sorry if that disappoints you.
