There are only few things that make me more happy and less worried than unmanned aerial vehicles capable of blowing shit up: One of them is unmanned aerial vehicles capable of blowing shit up that are coordinated by buggy navigation software.
Among geeks and freedom-of-information activists, the consensus is "good", although some of their decisions are criticized from different angles (they redact too much, they redact too little, they publish too soon, they delay too long, etc.)
This is speculation, but an Ivy League computer scientist might be more likely to stay in academia instead of entering the industrial workforce, than a graduate at a less renowned university.
This is self-selecting: An employer would look for skill-sets and a diploma, but not necessarily factor in the school's prestige (particularly when that would make the candidate more expensive). The students more likely to plan on becoming academics are more likely to apply to an Ivy League school.
Even before the 60s, Americans have had a rather individualist mindset, which was only replaced by conformity during the cold war. I'm not so sure you can expect a similar trend in China.
Still don't like him. Hardcore libertarianism has its perks over neoconservatism when it comes to individual rights (as seen here), but he's also against any form of social care not provided by corporations. Being dominated by rich guys sucks regardless of whether they're private stockholders or politicians.
Indeed, it isn't nice to make the students who did not cheat go through the stress of another exam (since it's not their responsibility to watch their classmates), but they cannot do anything short of completely invalidating the result.
What are they going to do; only toss out the grades for people who got a good grade? Toss out the grade of everyone who improved substantially over their coursework average? Neither of these would be statistically sound or fair to people who earned their good grade.
The only reasonable way they can ensure everyone gets the grade they earn is by making them repeat their performance. Those who aced honestly will in all likelihood ace again. Furthermore, as a student, I'd find getting a free try a really good deal. While the questions are different, the subject matter will be the same and after I'd have already put my knowledge to the test under serious conditions I'd be likely to improve my earlier performance.
It uses two electrically balanced AC coils that become unbalanced if a conductive substance nearby is inducted by its field (likely because it is closer to one of the two coils than the other).
You might be able to unbalance them manually simply by touching one of them.
So yeah, after checking Wikipedia, this seems to make some sense, although I'm not sure why you can't insulate them. It's not as if a bare wire is required for induction to occur.
she refused to go calmly through the metal detector, setting it off twice
Does she have some kind of mutant superpower where emotional distress causes her to manifest lumps of metal inside her body?
As for the rest of this, yeah, this shit is sick. Pat-downs were invasive even before, and now they've turned them into non-consensual erotic massages.
They are evangelical Christians in Brazil. They are not the only evangelical Christians in Brazil, but the GP's "the" can easily refer to "the evangelical Christians in Brazil who believe this crap."
So yeah, this is just one group of nutcases, but they refer to themselves as evangelical Christians, and one cannot arbitrarily define them as "no true Scots^W evangelical Christians" just because they're nutcases.
Beyond the first line, the text becomes too dense and I lose track of what line I'm on. I only need that, in order to know what it says, but that doesn't really count.

Nothing can possibly go wrong.

Ooooohh crap.
Is this some kind of horror series? Now that the SCO zombie is well and truly dead, its ghost comes back to haunt us.

Oh, it is.
It just doesn't understand surrendering. Terminators take no prisoners.
The summary omits the (D), and this guy's doing something most here would agree with. Where are the accusations of bias? :P

Man, not even allowed to mangle my own language any more? ;)

Probably better than the message that Paltalk entered, which ran "You have this money I'd like me to have."
And this is what they spend that time on.
Yeah, fuck them all.

Now off to the Vatican and call Dan Brown.

Are you able to use any software written in the last decade? Modern desktop applications seems to soak memory like water.
For some reason getting a routine grope and a handjob they can't opt out of is a big deal for a lot of people.

... unless the zombies get you, of course.
Isn't that what Slashdot is for?

Come on, there must be a catch. :P
You can make graphene by peeling scotch tape off a cup cake?
Jeph Jacques would be amused. :P
