Yeah, that guy didn't die, because people saved his life (and many others) it wasn't because of lack of trying by the terrorists.

There is nothing like trying to minimalize tragedy to make a political point. You make me sick.
" I am anti-capitalist because I am against people owning property far beyond what they can use"
According to whom? Who Decides how much one person can use? A committee?
No thank you.
You end up with people like Al Gore with his HUGE mansion lecturing me on how green I am. People flying around in private jets telling me not to drive my car because it gets less than a certain mileage.
No thank you.
And be careful, the very thing you are advocating will have you lose everything you have, because I can assure you, the committee from some third world country will tell you, you have too much stuff, and don't need it all.
No Thank you.
Well, it makes about as much sense as the Liberal "Bush's War for Oil". just sayin
Let me axe you a question.
So, you equate government with tyranny. Interesting.
The fact that a government tends towards tyranny is one of the reasons for the US Constitution being framed the way it was, including the 2nd Amendment. The fact that the government is not abiding by the law that defines it is no surprise. We the people must like tyrannies
Well, in my experience, the Universe is at my fingertips. I can learn a great deal about ANY topic, and have, from the copious amount of information available online. THIS is what has changed education in my life. However, I don't have a piece of paper saying I know anything, which makes it hard to quantify what I actually know (or don't know).
Guns are a false hope in defending against any tyrannical government.
Name one tyranny that allows for the people to be armed. Just one.
And why are we arming Syrian Rebels if guns are a false hope against Tyranny?
Do you realize that tyrannies form only when the people are disarmed. And do not forget, Hitler was elected to office, so I do not trust the Soap, or Ballot boxes for obvious reasons (GWB, BHO) . I don't trust the Jury box for the similar reasons. Guns are the last but necessary resort.
Do you have a coherent thought or just rambling on because I don't follow your prescribed version of reality? And they are cowering, otherwise they wouldn't care what I believed (or didn't believe). I threaten them because I can make fun of them. And there is nothing funnier than evangelical Atheists.

Evangelical (adj) - marked by ardent or zealous enthusiasm for a cause.
What other "non-beliefs" can we put billboards up for?
"Don't Believe in Pink Unicorns? You're not alone"
"Don't Believe in UFOs? You're not alone"
"Don't Believe in Leprechauns? You're not alone"
we've lost a huge point of academic inquiry -- which is in part about individuality and creativity.
If you want that as an outcome, then the University is not going to help most people. The degree program offered by most universities is one that says that a person has progressed through a series of steps and followed a prescription (recipe) and is good for being a cog in a bigger machine. Outside of the hard sciences (research universities).
At my personal experience at University was that anyone with "different" ideas was sent to the sidelines and marginalized.
Wow, a car analogy, I am impressed!!!
I am not an Atheist. Libertarian Atheists don't care what I believe. And I don't care what Atheists believe. Leftwing Atheists would rather I not exist, as my belief somehow threatens them. They end up doing things like Jewish Purge of Soviet Union (killing Jews because they are religious), or persecution of the Falun Gong and Christians in China, if they had their way. Atheistic Socialistic States and those of faith don't mix.
The state should be agnostic towards religion (or lack thereof). First Amendment Style.
How is that? How does a "Left wing" enforce their social economic government structure without a strong powerful government behind it?
You're probably not anti-capitalist, you're probably anti-corporatist, which is different, but looks remarkably similar. Do you believe a committee should tell you how much you should be paid, and how hard you should work and what job you should do? If you say no to each of those, you're a capitalist.
Do you want to hear the joke about a piece of string?
I'm a frayed knot.
I just spec'ed out a 2U Dual 8 Core server with 386 GB RAM. The thing could hold 768 GB total If I didn't put in the GPU. The cost for doubling the RAM doubled the cost of the server. And at that point, having more CPU is more useful than RAM.
As for SSD vs HD, you should really start looking at something like Nimble Storage, which tiers storage between onboard RAM, SDD and regular HDs, to provide huge IOPS advantages over regular SAN storage, with the same kind of drive type/counts. In the datacenter, its IOPS for your storage, followed by Size. Long term slow, and big storage is less useful than having high speed access to data you actually need at that moment. IOPS is key to getting data on the wire and to the processors that need it.
Actually, I forsee a change in courses over the next few years, where the teaching material is a collaboration of those instructors creating the classes. This will mean that course design will become more favorable than being "Dr Joe Schmoe". And open source courses will invariably be more complete than closed courses offered from a singular professor.
Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer, should be.
