The headline implies 70% of students don't know what an equals sign means, making it impossible to do fundamental things like add up on paper. The summary explains that what they actually don't understand is whatever the equivalent of syntax/operator precedence is in algebra. Hardly the same thing. And also 70% of "middle grades" students - how many students is that? What are middle grades? Are they Arts students who have no reason to understand algebra? Histrionic bullshit as usual.
how does the arms race to break DRM compare to what i imagine would be an arms race to break DNS? Will DNSSEC be like HDDVD/bluray encryption? Loads of effort for a temporary advantage?
spotify mobile apps will cache stuff so unless you're listening to different tracks all the time it shouldn't stream too much. Also UK data plans are way less horrific than they used to be.
So 2 days after i book a £600 holiday to florida to watch sts-133 on september the 16th, they postpone the launch till november 1st. Why couldn't they do this last week? AAAAAARRRRRGGHH.
I thought the reason 3D drivers weren't open sourced was because of Patent/Licensing agreements that forbid it. As I understand it, AMD are open sourcing their drivers, but carefully bit by bit, in order to avoid releasing bits that other companies hold the rights to.
Strictly speaking, his prediction was wrong. They dug to where he said and found no water - the nearest water was 3 feet away. How far away would the water need to be before you no longer thought he got it pretty much right? Did they try digging any other holes - perhaps there is water at that depth running under the majority of the area. If this is so it wouldn't matter where he told them to dig, they could have found water pretty close. What seem to be strange coincidences turn out to be near inevitabilities way more often that you'd intuitively expect. Close guesses are orders of magnitude easier to make than precise predictions.
I went to see Sunshine at the cinema, and was really excited by seeing the first half, which appeared to be some really good, hard sci fi. Then the "Event Horizon"-esque charred corpse serial killer showed up and derailed the entire thing into Jason Fucking X. What a fucking let down. Pathetic.
And I've been using it since 2005 - "The year of linux on the desktop" doesn't mean the year linux has a usable desktop environment - it's a notorious faulty meme that one magical year (that's usually the coming year) that computer users around the world will spontaneously abandon Windows and all start using Linux for some nebulous reason. You have a lower UID than me so you can't be that new here.

if i go to blah.com and tell adblock to block the div called "nav-left", that rule will only apply on blah.com.
You could do all those things in real life and make money, rather than paying money to pretend to do them.
i feel like saying whooosh but poe's law fills me with uncertainty...
i'm having a hard time picturing a credible scenario where a woman would be prepared to have sex in exchange for a copy of a video game.
i'm pretty sure luke wears camo pants on endor, and that's after he's become a jedi. I apologise for the mandatory fanboy pedantry.
It's a trap!
You're a pathetic child.
ok, just give me a few seconds, i'm nearly there...

Thanks a lot Lenny, now I lost my concentration! Where was I....?

substitute spotify for pandora
I know you... we killed you!
go to sleep lewis or i'm telling ma about your playboys
They should dust off Trip Hawkins 3D0 idea....
why so cancerious..?
I believe it's based on a crude wooden frame surrounded by old clothes stuffed with straw.
you can't hold up a bank with a porsche or a bottle of bleach
