Sitting through 3 years of foreign language class was a utter waste of time for me. Would have gladly done double the amount of computer programming, physics, or electronics. (All of which I was also able to take, thankfully.) Three extra STEM classes in lieu of foreign language would be a big boost going into college and/or the job market. Computer Science departments could give a rip whether their students puede hablar español.
The trick is to make the courses relevant and interesting for the diverse abilities of teachers and students.

Support is fine until it comes out of a paycheck.. then, no flipping way. Watch what happens when Walmart shoppers are asked to pay higher prices for higher wages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Agree. TaxAct kicks ass. Should of hired them to implement the Health Exchange website.

Yeah, that would suck to change NASA's primary mission away from "Muslim Outreach". http://www.csmonitor.com/Scien...

Advocating death against a person or group is not protected free speech. The problem is the hundreds of millions of muslims cheering for the few million or so muslims that are actively engaged in jihad. Islam is 1000x worse than the KKK ever was and yet the multicultural left (who claim to care about liberal values) are apologists.

Hypocrisy on the net, in politics, or in real life is about the most common "scandal" you can find. But its fun click-bait.

Since I typically don't watch the same movie twice, I think streaming video content is a no-brainer. And I love Pandora... but if you like listening to a single album at a time, where song B always comes after song A, a personal collection is still the way to go. And not that difficult or expensive. I have a system that works well-- QNAP (or Synology) NAS, with media server, and Sonos. I use SuperSync to sync everything from my iTunes accounts to the NAS and can sync to and from that from anywhere. But the music space is a bit fractured, and there are a lot of competing solutions, with no clear winners.

Don't forget to ban volcanoes too. And breathing.

Seems keeping something dry would be easier than requiring a 150 giga-pascal environment, but I am not a scientist. :) Was hoping someone would clarify nuances of the two "records".

2 lameware apps out of 1.2 million apps? I'm guessing people will get over it.

What's a blackberry?

Awesome indeed. Hacking 68000 machine code back in the day was good times. Anyone remember TMON? And before 68K, there was 6809s... I might be dating myself.

Anxiety over being late (for work, or for a plane) is a common concern.. this will help alleviate it.
On the freeways where I live are large signs that show transit times to various points-- those are very accurate and very nice to have.If you're concerned about privacy and tracking, don't wear a device that can track you.

But if you're in an airport, you can assume your name and travel details will be reported to the government. Even if your local coffee shop wants to know how many you stop in for a latte, who cares? If you care, wear a tinfoil hat or unplug.

No, read the report (before spouting off.) The measuring equipment was not supplied by the inventor. The test was partly funded by the Swedish energy research consortium, Elforsk. The inventor may have had an opportunity to swap out the fuel--but it was running continously at 1100- then 14000C, so it would have difficult to do without causing a blip in the temperature data. The reactor was also a welded closed system and was cut open at the end of the 32 days with all team members present, including Rossi. Yes, maybe he pulled a sleight of hand trick at that moment.. but that doesn't make much sense if it was already agreed that the reaction was beyond chemical.... and could not have happened, even if its entire weight was made out of gasoline, Lithium ion batteries, or TNT.
