What fucking bank do you do business at? Contrary to what you learned playing Monopoly there is no such thing as a "bank error in your favor".
Year ago or so there was a fradulent paypal charge put through on my account which resulted in $4,500 being removed from my account. My bank floated me $45,000 (instead of the correct $4,500 amount) while the fraud was being investigated.
While the error was corrected, it was still a "bank error in my favor".

Good point.
Nothing at all like the securities market.
I'd love to see some case law involving EULAs. Does anyone know of someone that has be sued because of breaching terms in a EULA?
The Blizz/Glider lawsuit might be an example? I don't know how legally Terms of Service are different than EULAs though...

Being wrong never felt so right, eh?
Because oddly enough you can't prove subjective claims with science.
Subjectively speaking, I don't think "subjective" means what you think it means.
Subjective claims can be objectively wrong.
What you just gave me was information concerning schools in general, not specifically the teachers.
private schools don't get better teachers
Was what you said.
I'll ask again: do you have data that states or even merely suggests that "private schools don't get better teachers"? Interestingly enough, true or not, the first link in the google search you kindly provided made private schools out to be a far superior work environment for a teacher than public schools.
The reason I say this is because I don't think you can produce any believable data to specifically suggest that private schools don't get better teachers. You appear to be making a direct connection between teachers and how well people in school score on tests. While I don't have any data myself I'd suggest that in the grand scheme of achieving high generalized testing scores teachers aren't really that key compared to a whole host of other factors which have a *significantly* greater impact on a student's abilities to score high numbers. Again, I don't have any specific data to back this up, just a hunch.
To reach space you have lots of self-control so that you don't..uh..risk wiping out your civilization.
To date, weren't most of our major space achievements as a race made during the cold war?
The conviction with which you write that implies you have data to the same effect?
In the interest of being pedantic, I believe you were looking for "measure" not "calculate".
AABB humor?
"The public security services in China can turn your telephone on and activate its microphone when you think it's off."
Now if only they can emit a tone outside of human hearing and record the echoes to be centrally processed in one massive computer displaying real time video of anyone anywhere in astounding detail.
Actually, I think this is probably too much power for anybody to have. Let's blow it up.
16mm film, properly shot and focussed, is higher resolution than 1080p.
I really don't know much about film. How does how it is shot and focussed affect its resolution? Wouldn't that just impact the quality of what you are looking at but not the amount of data there?
