I worked 40+hrs a week while enrolled full-time in college - it sucked. However, I made the professors aware of the situation and were aware of my attendance gaps. They knew it wasn't because I partied to hard or decided to grind for xp. They worked with me and I managed to graduate first in class*. Most professors like to teach (shocking, right?) and those that don't are at least happy when someone shows interest in their field. What scares me about this RFID concept is that it automates the attendance policy into a bureaucracy that could be outside of a professor's control. If 10% (say) of your grade is based on attendance then you are are at a great disadvantage if you are a serious student. Yet if you are a slacker that just wants to squeak buy then it's not enough to really mean anything. *To this day I firmly believe I would have been a worse student if I would have worked less. My schedule forced me to develop time management skills; it was obvious I would fail otherwise. Come to think about it, time management might have been one if the best lessons college has taught me.

Do long multi-year projects typically take inflation into account for budget overrun analysis?

*Everybody* cheats on Hello World. After all, that IS the point of hello world.

Correct for CAN. Though as for any protocol - garbage in; garbage out. The value(s) transported in CAN's payload may have been corrupted in memory or even in the CAN driver hardware* Actually, the "cosmic magic" is more likely to corrupt bits in static locations than represented as a voltage potential traveling along a differential bus with an active low being the dominant state. Of course, I have nothing to base this on, but I am posting here - *shrug*. * I designed both hardware and software for redundant CAN implementations.

If I saw a "out of town" rate display, without reading the article, I wouldn't have known what it meant - because I would be an out of town tourist. An interesting twist: actually charge out of town riders more for riding a taxi and residents less. This would encourage residents to rely even more on publicly available transit.

"But, no matter what you do, it will never be perfectly, 100% risk-free to fly. Or to drive, or to walk, or to do anything." I find that very appropriate given the current topics so often discussed here.

There's no feedback of requested speed; the feedback is the current speed of the car. You can request an increase of speed, but there is a finite time in which the car can respond to the requested increase. Given the variance in terrain it is quite possible that you are, after some time, requesting a speed that is significantly higher than the current speed resulting in sudden increase in acceleration toward an unknown target speed. This will seem as an unexpected reaction, as you are looking at the current speed as the target speed which isn't the case. Essentially, the feedback loop isn't closed correctly, and people cant do calculus that quickly in there head. I've complained about this for years.

...never works. This has been known for nearly two decades (TFA): "The U.S. government has known about the flaw since the U.S. campaign in Bosnia in the 1990s, current and former officials said. But the Pentagon assumed local adversaries wouldn't know how to exploit it, the officials said."

hmmm maybe Josh had it right! Ching-wah tsao duh liou mahng.

Wife 1.0 is much less advanced than mom. 1.0 in terms of hose "automation". Wife 1.0 is alot like vista. Are you sure you want to do X, it's not really a good idea. ...or "you didn't DO Y" or "Do Z", but no mater what, wife 1.0 doesn't just take care of it...sigh.

Similar story, but in reverse. II had a rather beefy Calculus tutorial site on geocities to help me with my work as a tutor. My (now) wife, emailed me to ask several questions, and we started chatting over ICQ. Met in person a few years later, and now have been married for 6 years!

If this stuff is hardware, are you telling me that Apple has fabricated the chips for this? Not impossible, but seems unlikely.

Hmmm just like Skele-gro from Harry potter. Adds another check-mark for the old contra: "Any significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

which bank? This is a huge sale point. I am looking to switch banks soon, so this would be a huge influence on which I choose.

The voice activated features I use are not duplicated on the 3G - is this specifically for the 3Gs? can I still use google search for my 3G. the article didn't mention. and may I just ad: BOOOOOOOOO
