Euro is worth more than the dollar, something around 1.3

Here is one study claiming that this is false based on bone samples.... http://www.poweredbyosteons.org/2012/01/lead-poisoning-in-rome-skeletal.html

Do you even know what roundup is? It is a Glycophosphate, a family of compounds with well established half lives. Once corn is a few feet tall it blots everything else out and they stop using it. Many months later when the corn is harvested it is chemically impossible for the corn to be contaminated with residue.

I know this was meant to be humorous but this state is a lot less litigious than most.

Mathematics major is pretty useless- applied mathematicians are called physicists.

I guess you have drank the coolaid too? There wasn't any group work when I was growing up and more physical activities. Back then boys did quite a bit better.

A pretty good article on the subject... http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2006/01/29/the-trouble-with-boys.html

Last year my son (diagnosed with mild autism) was required to spend 1/3 of his time doing group work in math class and consistently was graded poorly for these activities. In my mind doing group work in pre-algebra is of questionable value and useless for boys.

The number one things that helped me improve was hating the way I did things with an equal measure of laziness.

That reminds me of one guy I worked with that relied heavily on his debugger for everything- since he used the debugger for everything he never had to develop decent naming for methods or object models that made sense. Maintaining or modifying his code was a nightmare!

You won't be teaching the guy anything. If he has been coding more than a couple years and isn't sick of making the same mistakes over and over there is no hope for this person.

Making a family movie that would have been enjoyed across age groups would have been a challenge, what Peter Jackson did was not. He just applied the 'Jackson Formula' to the Hobbit. He's not a film maker any more he's an accountant.

Being on Earth is a death sentence too.

Imagine if the avionics industry wasn't regulated?

Why are you comparing them to Beanie Babies? The majority of Lego sets are purchased to play with, and unlike Beanie Babies there will always be interest in buying a set even for just it's play value, so there is a floor on the price. I do agree though that if there is a mania over this that many will be burned....
