Mod parent up. Also it's interesting to note that everyone here seems to be ignoring pre-school. So much of the groundwork for later education is laid in the first few years. Preschool teachers should have to study developmental psychology though.
That's not how induction works. Solar storm causes a powerful magnetic field via the fast-moving protons in the solar wind. The magnetic field can induce a current in a conductor.
A perpendicular magnetic field to a loop will cause a current in proportion to the rate of change of that field and the area of the loop. A straight conductor will experience no current.
So when the breakers trip, the runs will all be approximately straight along long distances, which is the only domain this matters in.
That said, my dad suffered from stomach ulcers for 20 years or more. He'd go through two bottles of Mylanta a week. Once this bacterial theory proved fruitful, a simple course of tailored antibiotics cured his stomach within several weeks. Not an ulcer since.
Except that you can't customize the ribbon. I have to do the same pattern of a dozen clicks in Outlook frequently. If I could decide what goes where on the ribbon I could reduce it to 3 or 4. Why in gods name don't they give me the option?
Does it matter? Are you going to be able to find out who made your 25c toy? Hell, these days I can't even figure out what country most products are made in, much less the company. The whole Chinese manufacturing thing seems incredibly opaque, and I have a feeling that's how they like it.
If you're going for a big flashy spectacle, please don't let them use Dune. It deserves more than that. James Cameron? No.
You know, I doubt that live action film is right for Dune. Maybe it'd have had a chance with Jodorowsky, but I'm just not seeing it at this point. How about getting a good anime studio to pick it up, turn it into a series. I think each novel could be nicely divided up into a dozen episodes. The guys who did GITS could do it justice, maybe.
I'm amused by all the responses to your post. While I almost always disagree with you, this time I see exactly what you're saying and agree with it. The natural state of any living organism is dissatisfaction, with any saisfaction being transient, and this is necessary for survival.
Personally, I think my brain is wired well enough by now that a little indulgence isn't going to change that for the worse, but if I had kids I would fear that using something like this at too young an age would cause them to develop behavioral patterns that would lead to worse health and long-term success and happiness. The idea that toughing it through various situations builds character makes a lot of sense to me.
Being disgusted with the world and humanity is not unusual. Holing up in your mother's basement and living in total seclusion is (unless you're a/.er of course).
There is no way a 13-year-old is psychologically equipped to consent to sex with a much older person, especially one who has so much power over them to start with, and especially when drugged. There is no defending his actions. Saying "meh, that was the times" is ridiculous. Everyone else who did similar things then is just as guilty as Polanski and should have been prosecuted.
Maybe it was, but this is certainly anti-egalitarian and discriminatory. This policy does nothing but widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots.
This is the most evil plan related to software that I think I've ever heard. Their plan is basically to prey on the weak. Are they going to patent stealing candy from children next?

My faith in humanity just died a little.

Well said.
Anecdote is not the singular of data, etc etc.

I mainly see lose/loose on Slashdot. I think it's become a dialect.
No, they'll use melamine. It'll fool the camera into thinking there is oleic acid present.
Not the stuff they serve in schools.
The other guys were the ones who passed the bank bailout. Obama wasn't in office yet when that happened.
Adobe Flash is a Youtube issue.

http://xkcd.com/169/ is rather relevant here
My eee 900 with ubuntu 8.04 does it, for one. Going to try installing 9.10 and see if that helps.

Wait, they call it the Envy? Any more subtle, HP, and you'll be calling it the "we're still cool! really!"

This. Emails sent for work purposes and on company time are not personal.

I say: bring on the electric cars. Being near a road doesn't have to be a suffocating, noxious experience.
Not true. Women and sheep will also be accepted at most retail outlets. Jon Stewart said so!

Probably about how a bullet punches through an apple and keeps going.
