They used # as an arbitrary symbol, to represent some operation where 4#10=23.
Sort of the way that we use + as an arbitrary symbol to represent the operation where 4+10=14.

You're remembering it wrong.
They told him they needed a hero, but they never told him that he was going to lead the fleet. He thought it was going to be a defensive war.
Also, they attacked Earth first (First Invasion; that's when they used Eros as the staging point, that's when humanity "discovered" the ansible and artificial gravity). Then they attacked again (Second Invasion; Mazer defended earth). After that, they realized that humanity was intelligent and they decided to stop trying to invade Earth.
The Third Invasion was Ender attacking them.

See subject.
That's how everyone else seems to be doing it now.

You make it sound like you've never seen episode 2.
I envy you.

Long Answer: There's an offline mode that you can use to play campaign & custom maps. The caveat is that you need to log in using your battle.net account once every 30 days for it to work.
My internet's been down for the last hour or so and I've been playing the campaign without a problem.

I clicked 'Quit asking me', and then it let me copy it anyways.
Sometimes there are simpler solutions than disabling javascript or copying it from the HTML.

Surely the 'point' had absolutely nothing to do with making a controversial movie even more controversial in an attempt to get more people to see it (read: make more money).
And surely a militant antisemite like Mel Gibson would never, ever, make this movie gory specifically to incite anger/hate against Jews, who are blamed for the crucifixion.

And in most people, it's 404.

I think the phrase you're looking for is "How do you like them apples?"

They're hooks used in a device called a tenter.

I should applaud you then, for being such a staunch supporter of slave labour.
I should also commend you on your willingness to see other people's rights being violated, and your support for universities that are willing to disallow students from graduating if they try to protect their rights.

I value hard work, but at the same time, I don't value the violation of these students' rights.

So is an education. Unfortunately, classes are being cancelled so students can be illegally forced to work in an assembly plant.
But then again, if work experience is so valuable, maybe we should shut down Harvard and MIT for a week each semester so the students can get some highly valuable work experience at a world class establishment like McDonalds or Walmart. What do you think?

All evidence is going to be anecdotal.
The TSA isn't going to issue a press release stating that they missed a gun/bomb/knife/etc. In order to do that, they'd need to know that they missed it, which means that they "missed" it intentionally.

And yes, they do need a 100% success rate.
What if it was a bomb they missed?
If they make a mistake, it could kill 200 people. The cost of failure is huge, so they need to be perfect.
Remember the underwear bomber? They missed him, and the only reason the people on that flight survived was because of his own incompetence.
