Well, to be fair, the headline does just say "your state," not "your state's students," or "your state's schools." However, I do think that the graphic and the headline are misleading at a glance. I also agree it is likely many districts are most likely surpassing their state's standards.

Wait for the Blu Rays if you're going to buy, otherwise just Netflix it.

I thought the Samsung ads are kinda funny, although they kinda make me not want to buy Samsung stuff; similar to how the old Mac vs. PC ads made me not want to buy a Mac. It all just seems childish.

Yeah that would be ideal, but difficult to get the data in commercial/public spaces. Maybe, maximum occupants per fire marshall or something. When the engineers designed the buildings, they were designing around floor area and space type.

Normalize the numbers by use per square foot, please...

According to Samsung's ad department, it's because Siri doesn't actually exist at all...

Weird to show Providence rather than Boston for the Patriots, but technically they are closer to providence than Boston.

Land? As long as it's still got that gun, turn back and keep fighting!

1600HP at a couple hundred RPM is a lot more torque than those 4-400HP engines though...

yeah, see now we're talking. The one in the article could power a genset and 3-4 blocks of homes...

Well, instead of nothing you could power a couple megawatts of generator on waste oil and sell power to the grid...

I think there was a pretty good article about Yellowstone in National Geographic a few years back? That's where I seem to remember reading about it.

They make some pretty nifty interfaces these days for commercial settings. They were showing us one at the office where each light gets an ip address and you can adjust the brightness of your lights from a webpage on your PC. That way you can dim the lights to take a nap, and then quick turn em up if you hear the boss…

To add to your argument, it's way easier to save money by adding controls than to try to reduce power once you're already using fluorescents.

If you're working on small stuff, you can just use teeth. That works fine for anything up to like a #10.

Every time a particularly good onion article surfaces, I always check that site for some laughs.

I would prefer the actual lighting setup from the ceiling of a jetliner. Nice, indirect glowy light. The window thing in the article looks like you'd be seeing the lamp glare from at least one of the windows pretty much anywhere at that table.

The arguments presented in the article are fair for a subset of people. I get that there are probably a lot of people who use a case and really don't need it. I'm not sure why cases are so terrible, though... I ran without a case for a while, then I got a case. Maybe one day I'll take it off again. Either way, the…

I think even if all you did was fake projects, the job experience would be worth the time spent.
