only if the monitor is relatively flat against the desktop, at a reasonable height to prevent wrist strain, and easy to access...
and simultaneously perpendicular to the desktop at a reasonable height to prevent neck and back strain... Since it can't be both parallel and perpendicular at the same time, touch computing necessarily won't replace all mice until tablets replace all workstations and laptops.

There is one point on the GDI map where you're allowed to make a real choice about which country your forces move to, so there is a smidgen of strategy.
The learning curve tends to weed out teenage WoW players; being accused of engaging in anything but PvP leads to the derogatory label of "carebear".
Wait, what? Aren't derogatory labels the height of juvenile ridicule? If the Eve gamers were really mature, wouldn't PvP be rare, and cooperation be the norm?
25 times 0 (carbon pollution with wind) == 0 (cabon pullution with nuclear)
The math looks right to me. Of course, he could have just as easily said "nuclear emits about 25000000000000000000000-times more carbon and air pollution than wind energy" but 25 is more believable in this half-truth.
And the people that have more free time for 'net surfing than others are more capable of drafting the constitutiowiki into something that benefits them, excluding the working class.
The bible relates two creation stories: The creation of the whole world (chapter 1 of Genesis), and the creation of Eden (chapter 2 of Genesis). Note that the author does not relate them in chronological order; Chapter 2 begins halfway through the first creation story. To a _real_ biblical literalist, this means that Adam & Eve were the first two people, then other people were created on the 6th day (where Cain & Seth's wives come from). References to Adam and Eve being the progenitors of everyone really would be references to Noah and the flood, since Noah was their descendant, and Noah, his wife, sons & sons' wives were the only survivors of the flood.
Unfortunately, the masses (and mass media) can't be bothered to be accurate about anything, whether science or faith. As a result, you've been subjected to the Judeo-Christian equivalent of "Nukes are bad, so Nukyooler Fission is Bad. And Fusion Too. ZOMG Peanut allergies are killing millions of children! Ban Vaccines!"
With one improvement: You could let Tiberium mutate trees so that those mutant trees would become an infinite source of Tiberium. Other than the pre-created spice blows, there was no way to mine more spice, so I often waited until the enemy ran out of money.
I'll get right on that chief. And I asked you to hold the pickles on this burger.
He'll get right on that chief. Your next burger won't have any pickles. Nope, no pickles, that's for certain. I always order burgers plain; the spit is easier to spot.
Any corporation large enough to demand something from Microsoft is large enough that it will have at least two or three people testing patches for their environment before deployment anyway, so vendor patch cycles are pointless.
You could say that the developers are donating the software for free to anyone who wants it, because they feel that everyone will be better off that way.
That's Communist Hippie talk! I want nothing to do with that. </oldman voice>
if she didn't send it from a computer on the university's network, and didn't use a university address to mail it, aren't they completely wrong?
Bulk email them and find out.
A more serious response: MSU is probably doing what many universities are doing now; restricting university accounts to employees and helping students sign up for a free email service through Google or Microsoft (if they don't already have one). It's a terrible setup for the students and faculty alike since they don't have as clear assurances of who the students are - nnew.Account_8357@gmail.example.com
Why would you fight your university like this? Tell them fuck off I am going elsewhere and I am going to make this as public and noisy as possible so other students know what to expect. Why would you fight to stay at a school that sucks when you can easily go to a school that doesn't suck.
If she has political aspirations, fighting a public battle over a right like free speech can get her name recognition.
You're defaming the original Defamer! quick, CmdrTaco, reveal his true identity!! But Not mine, as I am acting in the public interest by exposing defamers.
You're defaming the defamer of the original defamer! quick, CmdrTaco, reveal his true identity!! I'll spare you all the infinite regression by admitting that I'm defaming the defamer of the defamer of the original defamer, and I'll even reveal that my real name has been legally changed to Anonymous Coward (anonymous.coward@example.com), so CmdrTaco need not bother revealing me.

for a dollar!
Joking aside, I'll actually buy this twice at full price. One for me, one as a gift.

I thought that was Second Life.
The US Federal Government was _designed_ to be inefficient, counterproductive, and gridlocked. It's a theoretical safeguard against tyranny.
Did you never beat the enemy in C&C by forcing it into selling its own buildings? A win is a win.
and here I thought they wanted to outlaw drinking and gaming! Might make my ET and WOW teams a bit more happy I suppose...
Playing ET while drunk is a novel approach. Let us know if it's any more fun.
We reenact this important drama annually, lest we forget.

Whereas, if a [Politician] decided to sell a seat on Congress on Ebay [...]
Then it would (barely) meet the bar as News for Nerds, since Ebay is an internet-based company.

Corporations demand a set cycle for patches
Any corporation large enough to demand something from Microsoft is large enough that it will have at least two or three people testing patches for their environment before deployment anyway, so vendor patch cycles are pointless.

And I thought it meant the swarm was using smoke signals. Censor, not Censer.
/pedant
Quotes is a verb. I'm sure you meant to say "Read on for more choice quotations from the quotable professor."
/unpedant
Quote is also a noun. I'm sure you meant to say, "Read on for more choice quotes from the professor."
/gollum
Quoteses is also a plural noun. We're sure hobbitses meant to say, "Rrread... ON! for more choice quoteses... fromtheprofessor. My precious."
I am _not_ fat.

It was probably flagged as Spam because at least two professors think the "this is Spam" button is the delete button.
