Except that the number 0.0(infinite number of 0s)1 makes absolutely no sense, as it has a finite end.

You had a slight typo there. I think you meant "the people who game the system by not buying in, and then go to the Emergency Room because they didn't have any preventative care, and/or declaring bankruptcy when something terrible happens and leaving their debt on the rest of society." Easy mistake.

I loved Final Fantasy XIII, thank you very much.

Yeah, it'd be great if we could set up some sort of institution that could teach them those sorts of lessons, or give them some sort of useful skill to propel them out of poverty. On that other hand, that would probably mean us middle class/rich people would have to pool our money to set that up, and that's communist, so fuck 'em! Or maybe, if we want to be nice, they can borrow money from us to pay for the exorbitant schooling costs, at rates that will make us even richer! Yippee!

"Mr. Fred, we see you purchased a phone, and then three months later, used that phone to call in a bomb threat." "Oh, I bought that for my friend Steve." "All right, we'll check him out." This law has many problems, but that's not one of them.

Interestingly enough, a computer would likely parse that sentence correctly, while nearly any human speaker (not familiar with the sentence) would think it's a nonsense phrase.

That's fine. The problem is that the service providers are adverting unlimited bytes for $X, and then complaining when people actually use a lot of bandwidth. If it's that much of a drain, raise the price on the "unlimited" service. But don't complain that I use to much bandwidth when you sell me uncapped service.

True, but the weighted GPA is still used for class-rank determinations.

Are you kidding? That first comment surprises me. Speed is the reason I switched to Chrome. It's so much faster than Firefox, it's not even funny. It sounds like the single page you tested your speed premise on had some issues. You might want to expand your sample.

This is why weighting AP grades is awful. At least 25% of the people in my AP classes were there solely because it offered a 5.0 for an A and a 4.0 for a B. It even got worse, when the kids who took all the AP classes ended up having a GPA above 4.0 -- meaning any non-AP class they took would actually *lower* their GPA, regardless of what grade they got. So yes -- open door policy, but you shouldn't provide an incentive for people who don't want to learn to take the class.

This is, without a doubt, the dumbest article I've ever read.

"Say...choose 5 folders at random on a PC" And how exactly do you propose we choose those folders randomly?

Yep, just like the MacBook Air and Apple TV!

I guarantee this iSlate will cost more than $2000.

Can you give us an update on the development of Spider-Man 3?
