Tell them that you do 1-2 week sprints where you have a set amount of tasks. If they want new things added, they have to wait until the next sprint. Give them a login to your tracker site so they can view the progress/status. Have them come to sprint meetings as well so they have some input.

The regolith on the moon will accept portals; we can shoot it from the surface!

"New York City may be the first state"? Thats like watching a game show where the contestant is asked for a country in Europe that is fancy and them saying London or Paris.

My college also required a couple co-ops which were required to be a paid position so that they knew we were doing meaningful work that applied to our degree programs. Fetching coffee and running errands is not meaningful work (or experience) in my opinion.

Computer Science can be seen as having a theoretical and practical side. The theoretical side deals with defining how computers work, how to make them better, and why algorithms run the way they do and how to make them better. The practical side takes the theory and implements it; however, it still takes the abstract side to develop applications and make them do what you want efficiently.

You don't NEED math to write applications but without it, your applications will suck. Also, you won't be able to do anything much more advanced than a Helo, World application without memory and runtime issues. Also, go try to write a 3D Graphics engine without advanced math; I work on an OpenGL library and use matrix, vector, and physics maths every day. Not to mention the math I use to fine tune an application to run faster, use less memory, and logically fit parts together where they don't step on other running parts. You might never use some of the math you learn but you will use math and if you want to be taken seriously, learn it or go write websites in html.

There is no EULA or ToS; when you download a movie from bittorrent or some other such service, all the FBI warnings etc have already been removed. I'm not saying what they're doing is right (it isn't); just saying that it isn't an EULA or ToS issue.

I see no mention in the article about a bathroom; it was outside near a gazebo and she stated that she was doing a science fair experiment.

That was my first thought; maybe the better thing to do is create more competition in the market instead of allowing Verizon and AT&T to fuck us even harder. Like someone else said; the consumer is going to pay for the spectrum in the long run anyway; why not lower the cost of it (or lease it as another suggested) and lower everyone's phone bills. The less money we have to spend for cell service the more that goes to other businesses (ie. taxes; which would probably make up that made-up $12 billion figure eventually).

I love this idea; the thought that something like EM spectrum can be bought seems ridiculous. I understand the need to limit its use since having everyone attempting to use the same chunk would make it useless for all but "selling" it is telling the purchasing company that they now don't EVER have to deal with competition because nobody else can ever use that chunk.

Wow, I knew the euro was doing better than the dollar but I had no idea that $51.8 billion == 38 million euros...

And all those superconducting materials are cooled with ice cubes and happy thoughts.

Why the hell would a $10,000 phone only have a WVGA display? (800x480) That is beyond ridiculous.

I understand why it ended up this way; I was more interested in what Adobe's official answer to the AUS gov't was. (did they make some bullshit up or state what you wrote above?)

Because at work our customers want "lightweight" web applications (we do 3D visualization software) so we get to mess around with JS/WebGL but not often enough for me to look for a job elsewhere; thus the "annoying" adjective

Is there any news as to why they thought their prices should have been so high in the first place?
