This is what chapters would be used for, in response to your concern about the sheer volume of the volume. You wouldn't have to worry about the size, the prof could just assingn a small section. Since it is searchable, mashable and sematic webbable (presumably) size wouldn't really be such a hurdle to the usefulness of the "textbook".
If students could print the book themselves, one chapter per week, they would have less back strain from carrying large books across campus every day as well.
"Could care less" is one of the most illusive commonly misused idiomatic phrases in U.S. American English.
The proper usage depends entirely on how the person speaks the phrase. The phrase should be spoken in a lasy, haphazard manner to glean its full intended meaning.
The intended impact of the phrase is to communicate to the listener that the speaker is so apathetic, they don't even care enough to feel strongly about not caring. They could care less, they could care more, but they are so indifferent that they don't even care that they don't care.
Imagine Morla, the Ancient One from The Neverending Story. Now that is one apathetic turtle.
Yeah, also you can look in your temp folder (linux, pretty sure windows too) and find the flv file there. Play that in any one of your media players for easy offline use. Technically any time you watch a video online, it is "downloaded" it just gets erased after you are done with it.
Well, I would like to point out that YouTube should have a business model that is flexible enough to incorporate changes in technology.
I don't think that squashing innovation or other technologies is smart. It is wasted time, and if the squash fails (technical term) then they have wasted time and resources they could have allocated to developing new features, products and innovations of their own.
If they provide a useful service people will go to YouTube regardless. Some may download, most will probably watch online (why download if the video is there and will always be there). People like options, and having the support of Ogg et al can only be a good thing for YouTube/Google.
At long last, the moment I have awaited finally arrives!! This genie, my friends, will not go back into the bottle. As any evil genius will tell you, biding time is one of the strongest assets a maleficent mind can have, and I have been in my lair patiently waiting... rubbing my hands together and quietly chortling under my breath.
The fateful words have now been uttered, and can not be revok-ed, "Second Internet Economy Collapse".
Call it "Bust 2.0", "Two-Kaboom", "Bongo Buddy's Revenge" or whatever you like, but the magic words have been invoked and the shivers of fear now course through the living veins of our techno-neural networks. The venture capitalists have heard their death knell.
Once this teetering snowball has been nudged by the giant white rabbit, it cannot be pushed back up the hill by Sisyphus or any other mythic figure. The course has been set and I will sit atop my gnarled perch and cackle until the last dollar of speculative value has been drained from all of these startups and the last coil of wire has been stripped from behind the funky colored walls, and the last lava lamp has been drained of its mysterious comingling fluids, for this is the day of reckoning, the day I have been wating for.
This is the rise of the economic anti-christ. This is the second coming of Gozer. The Kraken has awoken, Cthulhu has materialized, the monster under your bed is nipping at your ankles! I can't say anything else right now other than, "Muhahahahaha!!"
But 9x5 is 45. I think at some point along the way the hour that is supposed to go to the worker got snuck over to the employer side. It seems unfair. I would love to see a historic perspective on this, if anyone knows any books they could recommend on the subject.
It is funny, because I feel like most people don't really get too upset about the 1 hour difference, but I do. That is ok, I don't mind being the oddball, but I would really like to figure out if the "8 hour day" that the unions secured for the factory workers is the same day that office workers are adhering to today, or if that last hour somehow got lost in the shuffle.
Curious about this, can anyone actually define what 40 hours a week is? There is ambiguity even within the term "40 hour work week."
I would love it if there were a consensus on the salaried 40 hour a week among workers. Is it a seven hour work day with a one hour lunch break, times five? Is it an 8 hour day with one hour lunch break added on that is presumably "personal time", which then makes people skip lunch? What about bathroom breaks?
All of these little nitpicky details add up to a lot and usually end up working out in the favor of the company, against the workers best interests. I would be interested to hear other thoughts.
"Bad boys" is a term that is impossible to quantify. Also, if you just define "bad boys" as people who will do anything to "get" a girl (I presume this means they have sex with them once, then the relationship is terminated) then I would say yes, but so what. A "bad boy" can "get" a lot more of many things than someone who is genuinely concerned for his fellow human being. The unspoken rules of dating are meant to weed out people who are incompatible, but a "bad boy" will lie to convince his potential mate that he is compatible. Most people choose to respect these rules out of respect for fellow human beings. So another assumption is that "getting" a woman is the primary purpose of all dating, which is not true for many people other than the "bad boys" (stop making me type that stupid term!). Not dealt with: Guys who like guys, or other combinations of non heteronormative relationships. This articile simply trots out an insecurity that many people deal with and sprays it with hormones squeezed from the authors anal glands after pasting on a psudoscientific facade.
Mod up. This mistake has nothing to do with open source, and the story makes no logical attempt to link the problem to open source. Also, as said above, because it is open source, you can fix it without asking anyone, just do it yourself. Otherwise you would have had to do it yourself anyway, or get the company to fix it (good luck).
Can we expand upon this thread? I have a vehement hatred of Twitter (never used it myself) but I can't quite put my finger on why. I usually like to know why I hate something, but when it comes to Twitter I am sputtering for words...vapid...inane...blonde.
Ad hominum. Calling someone a criminal skips the step in a logical debate where people discuss what makes an action a crime. It is an intellectual slight of hand designed to win an argument by preempting what you think your opponent will say.
Seriously. The FBI should be using the pictures to track down the people who took the pictures (can metadata tell you anything?). The people who have the pictures on their computer range from hardcore pervs to people who were just looking for god honest adult-people-in-diapers porn.
Now, somebody make an intelligent comment about the age of consent in other countries than the US...
Does a light bulb dim in the minds of some computer users at the prospect of free pornography? It is the easiest thing in the world to get free porn online, why is installing something on your computer from a porn website all of a sudden appealing when a pop up window seduces you into it? I have a new term for this, it is called getting "FreePwned."
The fact that AP news articles do not contain links is a gross oversight. Is is inconscionable that a responsible journalist could write an entire story online without a link to a primary source. The most ridiculous thing is when an entire AP story, based on some document received though FOIA, is without a single link to the actual report. ATTN: Reporters. If you are citing a document on the Internet, you must provide a link to the original! It is easy, and you probably have an intern or underling that you can get to scan the document also. Other people could actually verify your story themselves instead of taking everything you write on blind faith. Look it is easy!
Isn't there some kind of anti-spam vigilante group out there? I could see a very successful campaign around simply pestering the hell out of any company that is advertised in an unsolicited email. Are there websites towards this aim? Some domain name ideas (available at the posting of this comment): spamfuck.com, murderspam.com, spamstab.com, nospamorelse.com, spamvenge.com.
C'mon! With domain names like those someone has to be able to whip the collective vitriol towards spammers into a chocolate froth; scrubbing clean the evil spamwads(.com, also available!!) and saving the princess, all in time to have milk and cookies before bedtime. Lets form a posse and string 'em up!
Agreed. And I would like to remind people that the terrorists that the US Government describes in its public relations are completely speculative and imaginary. Repeat after me, "there are no such things as terrorists." Judge people by their actions and not some scare-mongering label. Judging people by a label is a common logical fallacy called, "Ad hominem"
You rock! I think establishing the fact that this information was already available on the Internet is important, what Wikileaks does is focus attention on the data, and establish some context. All very important.

Northrop Grumman is always developing things like this in prototype, their entire business model is based on trying to sell the US Military things they don't need.
Yes!! Hate, hate and pure hate!! ARGGHHH!!!

And for your ears: never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

Yes, it is for Dupe checking, I have submitted dupes in the past and been denied. It is very useful.
P.S. If I cant read the CAPTCHA does that mean I am a cyborg?
