Now, what's a hyperbola?
It's something that people on the other end of that U-curve of math knowledge from you all know about.
It wouldn't matter what criminal charges I was facing, I would be boldly laughing in the face of this moron who feels the need to go all "sci-fi" while at work, as if the Star Trek embellishments somehow helped here.
Are you suggesting that a court which listened to Prenda's John Steele and Paul Hansmeier, operating under the name 'Lightspeed Media Corporation', argue that Court ordered sanctions don't apply to them because they don't feel like paying, is still somehow dignified and above making references to something as banal as Skiffy? That a defendant who is considered an embarrassment to the entire legal profession cannot ever be subjected to ridicule?
More to the point, did you know that Prendateer John Steel already tried calling a district judge a moron and laughing in his face in his own courtroom, with predictable results.
If anybody has offended the dignity of the courts and running up the bill for the State of California before running off without paying, it was John Steele, Paul Hansmeier and Mark Lutz.
Perhaps after you have spent six years in law school, nine years in the Marine Corps, served as a county sheriff for eleven years and then put in twenty-five years as a practising lawyer before being appointed to sit in county and state courts, you too will be able to write legal decisions any way you like. Until then, there's always complaining on the Internet.
Actually, the most fun I've seen in parallels to LOTR is not in science, but in Shakespeare.
You may want to read Norse mythology some time.
Parts of it may seem strangely familiar.
I wish we could find a way to make the honeymoon last forever. Maybe a way to identify and blacklist bad actors before they can create damage.
That sounds like a perfect plan. And I'm sure that the identifying and blacklisting of bad actors would be awesome during the "honeymoon" period when it is introduced. Enthusiastic participants will make it a great alternative.
And then, once it gets popular, the assholes will show up...
Because, depressingly, Uber drivers are more accountable, better trained, and better supervised than TSA agents.
They are also slightly better baby sitters than a pack of starving, rabid jackals.
Should that 4000Mbps be 4Mbps? Even that seems high, as I believe that 1080p = 5Mbps, but 4Gbps seems way overboard.
And this is why you don't work for Verizon.
I have found professors who are fresh out of the trenches often fail to comprehend, the following.
1. These students are taking more than just His class.
2. Chances are the class is required. Meaning most of the students don't have too much interest in the class.
3. The students are filled with other concerns then just that class. Finding a girl/boy friend, trying to keep on on what he should socially be.
4. Because he specialized in that topic for so long, there isn't any empathy on the fact that people just don't get it, the first time.
And what the students fail to comprehend is this:
That's. Their. Problem.
This isn't Kindergarten. Nobody is there to hold your hand. Just because you paid for the class doesn't mean that anybody owes you a passing grade. If you can't be bothered to pay attention to class, or don't think it's important, or just don't like the professor, then _you_ get to deal with that. If you can't, then you're going to fail.
And if "But I have other classes!" is the best excuse that you can come up with, then you're going to deserve it.
Great. Now we get a dozen unknown chemicals to replace it.
There's nothing "unknown" about crisp, refreshing Strontium-90.
Pepsi should also advertise "Contains No Radioactive Nuclear Waste".
No... they shouldn't
I'm afraid that I'm bound by too many non-disclosure agreements to explain why, but legally speaking that wouldn't be a good idea for them.

If you have your phone set to connect to any available network, re-connect to wifi networks you have joined before, and to continually broadcast those SSIDs one by one until it receives a response, then don't be surprised to get owned every now and then you're following the 802.11 standard correctly.
If your phone is set to connect to networks with names like "attwifi" or "xfinitiwifi", then... well, that's what it will do.
