Spend long enough memorizing the material from your text book and you can conjure the answers from your mind during an exam.
Its like a new paradigm of cheating.
Because when my mostly-retired mother who has to submit reports online gets a virus disguised as an operating system update, all my roommates should get one too.
I completely agree and really wish I had mod points to add to this. While I have a few balance gripes with anything d20 related, any tabletop RPG will inevitably have one thing that is 'better' than another in most situations. And when you really start to play a game with a competent GM and group of people you can call 'friends', balance should be maintained through social contract. Not through rules so simple that they cripple a character's ability to be unique.
Actually, I'm fairly certain our founding fathers would have had no amendments but would have left it up to the states, if possible, as per the Articles of the Confederation.
Or we've evolved in extraordinarily harsh conditions without realizing it and the aliens think they have it easy.
"You guys only live for *how* many centuries each? And you require two people to pass on DNA to encourage evolutionary mutations so your spawn can adapt to future changes in your enviornment?!"
Well, it will "survive". Just no new entrants. Once this batch has graduated, no more new fine art students (and I pity the graphic design students given the sudden lack of facilities they'll likely have).
This is Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, not Cal Poly Pomona. They both have engineering schools that play with rockets, but only one has a fine arts department that will survive the summer.
I'd almost always get lectured for bringing too many board games with me on camping trips. Video games were completely out of the question--we couldn't even bring cell phones save for emergencies (not that they'd work out in the woods).
Since we have no choice in what ISP to choose from since they'll all do this if one does it...couldn't we just protest by all dropping all of our providers at once? Simply use wireless hotspots for a month or two (libraries, etc...) to get "work" done and get some extra sleep at night rather than stream one last movie (or, you know, dust off your DVD/VHS/Betamax collection). Go one month without internet--if enough people go along with it and actually commit, the ISPs won't think they have it made like a drug dealer somehow legally peddling at a rehab center.
Or it could be that these primitive radio bands are part of the visible spectrum and we have been blinding their society for ages, causing any flying saucers that come close to the earth to crash on Jupiter...
Bing isn't another search engine. Its a decision engine. Specifically, it drives many to decide to go to google instead of using their in-browser search functions.
So were gonna see a Moderation system like Slashdot in which you can browse at >2 or >3 scores?
Who am I kidding; people would just all browse with "view all messages" and call people "modfags" if they mod anything up OR down.
Then again, they already have the "sage" system...
Oh yeah? Well my RAZR survived 2 years of life on the ocean floor, being impaled by the trident of a merfolk prince for sport, being launched towards and around the moon after offending aquatic royalty, atmospheric re-entry *and* being mailed back to me using Fed-Ex.
But seriously, I've gone through about 3 iPods and kept my single free RAZR I got with a promotion with Verizon years ago...also there's nothing really that impressive about having your phone freeze. Its not like ice/snow is that wet unless its disturbed...there's a reason Antarctica is called "the driest continent on earth" despite the fact its coated in a thick layer of water.
The Olympics killed my favorite card game/RPG franchise (well, its not 100% dead but its MUCH less popular now than it was). Legend of the Five Rings was threatened due to the fact the Olympics apparently own any symbol of "multiple interlocking rings", which they had on the backs of all their cards. As any card player could tell you, forcing all players to play their expensive cards with new backs is a good way to kill your game. Of course their five rings represented the 5 elements of the ancient Japanese world...and the game had absolutely nothing to do with the Olympics or even Greek history...
While in the long run it should be ethical to mod a piece of hardware you bought yourself, I gotta admit I can list off about 16 people who all own DS's and Modchips, and half of them have yet to pay for a legal copy of a game for the DS. The other half run *mostly* modded games. None of them use the R4 for any legal 3rd party applications.
I find the laptop superior in Art History classes (unless I get distracted by the internet). It helps me google search for things while the teacher is talking (especially the artwork in question if the projector is off color or blurry or someone is sitting in front of me since I have to come to class barely on time due to my schedule which is cramped due to budget cuts).
It also helps clarify when the teacher slurs words and you don't want to slow down the rest of the class because your not sure if you were the only one who couldn't understand "this was painted in nineteen sixty blehd..."
An artist isn't paid for their productivity either. One who can jam out a design and final work in 10 hours gets paid the same as one who does it in 20. Someone who paints as much as possible every hour of the week can find himself getting paid less than someone who only paints 5 hours a day, 5 days a week.

...Forms?
Hard...or thrilling? I vote the next major data-center-put-into-a-news-worthy-location be put into a volcano.

Why is this modded informative?
He'd fill the hole with whales? ...

Bigger stones. And less literal.

One too many reports of evil Lincoln. We don't want to start an incident in an international space canoe...
The painting was made in the dining room of a monastery in the first place. Its not surprise that extra food would be added...
