Looks like if you are well connected you can get away with anything and land up plum jobs.
Or, you know, just run for the U.S. Senate.
The freshman and especially sophomore level courses I took were far and away the most difficult. They also caused me to pursue a minor in C.S. as opposed to majoring.
This includes curriculum requirements where grading on the curve meant scoring 40 on a test was an A. Yes, I'm staring at you sophomore physics. After my sophomore year, I didn't know up from down.
Challenging coursework should still be engaging and stoke a young mind. Unfortunately, mine was more of the demoralizing kind.
1. Buy equivalently spec'd PC.
2. Put savings into investment instrument of choice.
3. When the time comes to upgrade, repeat.
4. Profit!
Sure sentence somewhere there. But not able +.
Seriously, put the mobile down, and keep your hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road when you're driving.
Any discount for local pickup?
I'm assuming that material containing large amounts of DNA gummed up a cooling fan, causing the overheating.
In a normal situation, I would say the workers are free to go work for an employer that offers better working conditions. La Boetie in his essay "Discourse on Voluntary Servitude" wrote:
Obviously there is no need of fighting to overcome this single tyrant, for he is automatically defeated if the country refuses consent to its own enslavement: it is not necessary to deprive him of anything, but simply to give him nothing; there is no need that the country make an effort to do anything for itself provided it does nothing against itself. It is therefore the inhabitants themselves who permit, or, rather, bring about, their own subjection, since by ceasing to submit they would put an end to their servitude.
Couldn't the same be said of an employer that holds that much power? Do you take up the yoke for security or do you take yourself someplace else? We always have a choice.
I'm not sure how latency would compare, but 4G is supposed to be achieve speeds of 275 Mbit/s downstream and over 75 Mbit/s upstream. That should be more than enough for just browsing the web. Probably wouldn't want to do any "heavy internetting" with it. (Of course, that may be different in practice...)
wherein the [thing] moves in a manner akin to Lovecraftian abominations, defying our understanding of the laws of physics and driving people irrevocably mad from the revelations
Don’t worry. The patent lawyers will already do that.
On second thought: DO worry! Do worry very much!
It's called a slippery slope for a reason. It could happen and perhaps it is not all that unlikely.
Some day Arpanet may become a primary source of information for people.
We should keep mailing floppies!
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
