Well, a big section of this article was about the time a Police Report the university had no legal right to have was used as the primary source for an Honor Code violation. So yes, in this case the attacker used his family connections to get the report and then get it to the university. The fact that BYU felt it was…

There is this old debate about is it better to do the right thing because it doesn’t occur to you not too or is it better to chose to do the right thing while being well aware of your other options. Sounds like your father did the second. It probably wasn’t always as emotionally satisfying, but my god it sounds like…

Ah, So *THATS* why women had their home addresses and personal details posted and were then deluged with rape and death threats.

I belive the implication in the article was that law enforcement officials who were part of the Mormon community tipped off the University about the legal proceedeings.
Which is another violation of responsibility that has not been discussed.

Agreed. I use Outlook’s webmail for my mailbox and it is very zippy. I have 5 gigs of email going back to 2002

I imagine they are in the sequel: Science Kombat II Turbo

Here is a tip on that: Your presentation SHOULD NOT just be you reading your slides. Unless you are presenting to children it is likely your audience can read the slides themselves. If the audience starts to wonder if things would go faster if they just killed you and flipped through your slides at the rate they could…

I found the advice kind of OneNote.

Brandon Routh peaked as the Vegan in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

I would argue that the most basic, lowest skill fulltime jobs should be paid a Living Wage for one person as calculated for their local area and be recalculated every 3 years. To set the minimum any lower implies that it is OK to ask someone to spend all their time working for a job that will not sustain them. I…

How do any of us know anything? We don’t. We make judgements based on our education and the social and moral framework we operate in.

How much should anyone make? That depends on your politics and feelings on economics.

This is true. 100% of us don’t make what we should. (99% make too little, 1% makes too much).

OK then, you feel comic book movies are for plebians. I disagree but we can move past that for the sake of argument.
I’m going to make this statement: Even stupid, turn-off-your-brain, action/sfx orgams movies have varying levels of quality.
The reviews of this movie are saying that, even for a comic movie that spent…

You are right. Apple releasing game-changing products while he was at the helm and floundering without him in the 90s is just an anomaly. That he came back & within months they started releasing game-changing products was just luck on his part. The fact that they are just iterating rather than dropping thunderbolts…

They other guys seemed really busy when stuff was happening though....

Still, better than some of the other combination schemes:

People thought the phone market was mature before the Iphone came out. Then it wasn’t.
He didn’t invent, but I am convinced he pushed innovation. The internal-prototype iphone1 wasn’t much different from a blackberry, he pushed the touch features, went to bat against the data carriers to keep their crapware off it,…

Agreed.

On the printer front: Most low end inkjets cost around $40-$60 and run $0.20/page in consumables. A low end laser costs $100-$150 but runs $0.07 a page.
So if you print a page or so every couple months you will never make up the difference in price by volume. On the other hand if you print a few dozen pages a…

Yeah, if the last few years have shown us anything it’s that amazing leaps forward happened when Mr. Jobs pushed them forward. There isn’t anything in the Apple culture that was going to keep producing game-changing gear.
We can look forward to many years of faster, prettier Macs/Phones/Tablets and not much else.

I don’t know about “does not act like someone who deserves it”, but it does seem like the fact that her two most serious relationships have had the same problem, and that both her mates have made the same complaint about her.

Correct. There are also questions like: Do I fix the radiator on this 15 year old car or buy another? If I have the money to buy a replacement vehicle it there is a good chance that over the long term that is the better deal, but if I don’t have the money for a new vehicle but I need to get to work I’m going to throw…
