Honestly I don't have a problem with 4:3 monitors for desktop use. You must really like scrolling.

I'll take truth-telling officials over what we've got here in the the States. As best as I can tell, they've got 100% of the lines tapped and just aren't listening to them here.

Sure, it didn't get into the groundwater this time. My concern is whether proper studies are being done to ensure that other sites do not see different results from the supposedly clean ones here.

Online courses are the collegiate equivalent of independent study programs. Independent study programs are definitely not for everyone.

I went back and finished my associates, graduating this past December. If there's one thing I observed, it's that a lot of people passed classes who really shouldn't have. Thanks to treating professors' pass rates as a measure of success, following a syllabus is all you really have to do to pass these days. If online students weren't even putting in that kind of effort, there's nothing an instructor can do for them.

Wait, how is that qualified as not being broken?

If by "NSA payroll" you mean "held in control by threats" I'm inclined to agree.

It's true. I believed Obama that one time when he called Kanye West a jackass.

Wow. With all the logical fallacies, I'm just going to let your response here stand or fall on its own merits. I have confidence I'll come out on top.

Nobody on Tumblr believed them. Why would anyone else?

They do when their first friend who touches the OS bitches about how horrible it was, and how it doesn't work right. That's when they refuse to make the switch themselves.

Imagine you're a parent of a teenager, and he uses the car to go street-racing. You catch him at it, and take his keys. His arguments are sure to be any number of legitimate uses for that car, but once that trust is broken, you're a fool if you hand him back the keys based on those arguments.

There's no good reason to allow a surveilance state, and I support any government entity that helps the populace fight back against it in such efforts.

Wife: What happened at work today, honey?

Scientist [excitedly]: I confirmed the hypothesis that pitch is perfectly solid!

I can think of countless proprietary solutions that were highly problematic for XP/2K users with the Vista/7 transition, including multiple vendors who hated Vista and refused to support it.
