Very little. I remember the first year I read about this trend. They were inducting "bootylicious". During the same induction, they were also putting in some slang term from the 50s which actually had staying power. it was apparent then that it was pure attention-whoring (if you look this up in MW you'll find a link to MW). People shouldn't be giving dictionaries which include these types of words the time of day.
It does if you don't particularly care about it, or the quality of the education isn't that hot. During the non-immersion years it was simply 2 or 3 30-60 minute classes a week. Hardly intensive. French was thrust upon me. The point was it takes far more effort and time than one could invest in simply 6 months. No matter how motivated one is. You might become fairly decent at french grammar in 6 months with a respectable vocabulary, but you're far from fluent. Anyone who has actually studied french knows the verbs just simply can't be conquered in that time.
but that is only because I moved here. I think you've gotten a lot of very obvious and correct answers so far. You don't really need one for your profession unless you're planning to move to a non-english speaking country for work, so choose one that you have a personal interest in. If you don't have a personal interest in one, debate whether or not you really want to learn a Language. Without a personal interest, your success will be more difficult and take longer.
not a chance. It takes more than 6 months to simply read all the french verbs and their 87 conjugations each. If he is reading actual old French, it would probably take even longer. As I imagine like English its changed a tiny bit. I had 8 years of part-time french in school, 4 years of immersion and a French girlfriend for a year and a half after that. I could probably just keep myself alive in France if I was left there alone with no help.
Because not all countries are flooded with superficial women. If you actually look you can find countries where very attractive women care more about the guys personality and how he cares about them than what he looks like.
I don't know if you've looked around lately but not all "nerds" are the svelte skinny nerds of "Revenge of the Nerds" Nor are punishing boxers necessarily huge. Many of the light weights are not that heavy and would absolutely pulverize someone who was not in good boxing form. They could very easily hold off a good chess player for 2 rounds of chess which would be enough time to destroy them.
The country lives and dies on activeX. Trying to do anything other than read basic text on most korean websites requires the installation of several activeX controls, which means IE only for a lot of sites. And if you want to create an account on one as a foreigner and don't have your foreign registration with immigration you can just give them copies of your passport..
hello, I'm not American, don't live in America (quite far away from it) and the article specifically addresses the closeness to July 4th, the American holiday.
Gmail isn't all its cracked up to be. I still get the occasional piece of spam in my inbox. Not as much as a place like Yahoo, but I've had that address a lot longer.
The only way to do it would be to develop the system so that is as accurate as possible. Sensors in the uniforms to measure the strike zone, sensors in the bat to determine if they check the swing, etc.
If you can't get it to the same accuracy or better than an umpire, forget it. After doing that, you'd have to disallow reviews. That would speed up the game. The umpire NEVER changes his call when anyone argues with him, so people could storm out and have just as futile a conversation with the umpirebot 2000
Review? are you kidding? Do you know how many "close" pitches there are in an average baseball game? I think they were working on lowering the average time of a game, this would shoot it way back up.
Fuck NiGHTS (for the Wii).
I can't see why people love this game. I have never been more confused playing a game in my life.
Unclear objectives, unresponsive controls, and general poor presentation. I don't know if any of the other versions were any good, but this one was a mess.
The Canadian DMCA will never pass. They tried to pass this kind of stuff once before and got shot down. Just because they've proposed something doesn't mean the Canadian people will take it.
Canada goes to about half the wars America does anyway.
Yes, I believe I already said that.
but we don't partake in all military activities together.
Foreign policy and the things the military does don't always go hand in hand. Either way, this is evidence of something the US military does, not Canada, or Britain. Realistically Canada doesn't have enough bodies to perform this kind of operation in the first place. We've got one like maybe one guy we could spare, and he's tied up with a double double.
Hi, This is a common mistake made by many Americans, but please remember that Canada is not actually one of your states. You see we're an independent nation. If you need help finding us on a map its that really big spot above you where you get your maple syrup and you used to get cheap shopping. Since we're laterally north of you, we're also a "western government". Unless you're specifically talking about Alaska, then I suppose it is more west than us.. This was a US special force book. I don't believe it was a joint US/Canadian military manual. Yes our carrier planes suck and we occasionally bum a ride but we don't partake in all military activities together.
We worked mainly with cisco switches which came with either stacking modules or had spanning tree enabled by default. There is a reason spanning tree exists and should be generally enabled by default on most switching hardware. I was perfectly capable of enabling spanning tree and did so once I discovered the problem. The problem was simply that it was not enabled by default which is a rather unexpected behaviour for switching hardware at least in my experience and that of my coworkers.
The only benefit I ever found with the HP switches was that they were a cheap layer 3 capable switch compared to Cisco. The 2800 series switches we occasionally used supported vlans and would route traffic between them without a router being present as opposed to the 2900 series from cisco which required a router or moving to the 3700 series.
If you don't need the layer 3 capability to route between vlans though the price wasn't significantly cheaper than a 2900 series cisco switch, at least from our vendors to really justify picking them though.
Why? These are switches for whom spanning tree is a foreign concept. They claim to support it, but default set up out of the box seems to be if you put 2 crossover cables between 2 procurve switches it will create a switching loop rather than disable one. Not a great idea when our product relies heavily on multicast. It took me a few minutes to figure out why the CPU usage on a workstation that I had just plugged in and hadn't installed anything on was at like 50-60% within about 2 minutes because I wasn't expecting this kind of basic issue on new equipment... These were new switches out of the box, only a few months ago. Are you telling me NASA couldn't afford Cisco?
No, but HP and other companies sell USB over ethernet switches. All the KVMs for server racks are these now. You plug a USB module in to the server, plug an ethernet cable in to that and run it to the switch kind of box. You can also by X port extenders for it if you have more than 8 servers in a rack.
Alternating genders: Not just he, not "We say he but mean everyone," not he and she, not he/she (or worse yet, s/he), just the most logical approach: Use one gender in one discrete chunk of text (like a paragraph), the other in the next, etc. Thank you.
(emphasis mine)
Why? Why thank you? if you're going to be so turned off playing D&D because english doesn't have a proper gender neutral pronoun maybe move on. you got bigger things to occupy your time like being outraged over the fact that box of raisin bran which only has 1.97 scoops of raisins in it..

At my last job everyone used the term webinar. Just because you have a unique experience doesn't mean everyone else has the same experience...

Wow... not even remotely. But with that attitude I can't see why I don't rush back to north america..

I was thinking that it wasn't "just in time" but instead a moment of opportunity because the rest of the year no one would care.
Gmail isn't all its cracked up to be. I still get the occasional piece of spam in my inbox. Not as much as a place like Yahoo, but I've had that address a lot longer.
Its interesting because I expect the primary language of most of the spammers isn't English..

there is a possibility that without windows we might be free of lolcats and myspace..

2K games are also on Steam, I've got bioshock, and you can get civ and railroads series on there as well.
