You're assuming the average person getting multiple degrees is smart when in reality, the average person getting multiple degrees is in the 110-120 range (read it a long time ago, don't have a link). After working in mortgage for many years and watching the agents (who are typically in this range), they fall for every scam and "latest thing" that comes around.
A three-day suspension would have been reasonable, with a warning that any sort of experiment like this must involve the science teacher for safety reasons. Expulsion, arrest and criminal charges are ridiculous.
If you want to see Homer Hickam's story, you can watch the excellent movie October Sky. In the movie, they definitely accidentally blow some stuff up while inventing rockets. And they got in trouble, but they didn't get expelled, jailed and have their lives ruined.
I still think it's more of a "I might have to sue because I have no money to operate." He really doesn't want to do it, but I can see how people can read it as a thinly-veiled threat, especially given his background.
First, Ballmer throws a chair at Assange but he catches it and stands on it to make sure that he's bigger than everyone in the room. Dotcom then eats Mcafee but immediately has a heart attack because of eating too much salt. Ballmer charges at Assange but his plan of attack is all screwed up and he hits the wall instead. Assange writes about the deaths of all the others on a Wikileaks exclusive.
And this is EXACTLY why I like Kaiser's model. Since they own everything, they want you well at all costs. They want you out of the hospital and not going back.
This, exactly. The US has tons of Canadians coming across the border and paying through the nose for procedures that they can't get in Canada when they get "really sick". While it looks completely different in theory, it's exactly the same in practice.
That's why I have my wife get insurance through her job for her and the kids but I get mine through my company. I am paying $100 for the whole year (I almost never go to the doctor anyway) because of the company's HSA contribution, but we saved $2500 on my wife's insurance by removing me. That's a lot of doctor's visits.
I had a minor surgery to remove a bump on my finger and Kaiser wanted an $850 co-pay for the MRI. I had the doctor do the surgery just from the x-ray (he already was "98%" sure what he was seeing anyway). I told him I couldn't afford it that month (true, I just got back from vacation and it was tight). No problem. He did it without and I have 9 other fingers anyway (JK, he was top-notch and everything's fine).
We used to call it "Poop with flies". So yeah, pretty horrible. Thankfully I was able to shoot down Lotus Notes. So, no, not worse, but they're both really bad.

He's too smart!
No $30 console license fee. I got Arkham City and all the Lego titles for $29.99-$34.99 when they were $59.99 on consoles. That's 50% off.
And that difference is the "console license fee". It's around $30.
This was already decided for books in the 1800s. They can say it all they want. Doesn't make it true or legal.
Not true. Most games that are $59.99 on a console are $29.99 to $34.99 on the PC. Which means the consoles are charging $25-$30 per game.

I'm pretty sure they said it was valid in a dozen countries and that Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are international companies...

Nope. Just potential causes of MS symptoms, blurred vision and Alzheimer's...

Groupwise IMO was worse.. Far worse.

Xbox 720 would have been way cooler...
avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on $44 billion in offshore income
Not really seeing the problem here. They should be paying taxes in the country the sale was made in if you ask me...
This is good. I still don't understand how weev could have been found guilty, other than that he's a complete sociopath...
First they came for Weev, and most reporters called him a malicious hacker... ...
Then they came for the reporters.
You're on the wrong site. Try people.com or TMZ...
Religion promotes ethics, which hopefully keeps corrupt bankers from bankrupting us all. But keep up the ignorance...
No. We don't. Idiot... ;-)
