This example will make a good lead-in for any argument to abolish the FCC or other regulators. When encountering passages like, "Within a few years of the FCC's Carterfone decision, America had become a motley world of funny receivers, slic

I visited Rolla (errr....S&T) a year ago for an admissions event, and was impressed by the CS program as it was presented to me by one brilliant, enthusiastic assistant professor. I then went home and reflected on the impression I got

Very impressive! Unfortunately, I can't give any higher praise than "a well-executed dungeon-crawler with style." I'm having a blast now, but I get the impression I won't look back after beating it. In many ways, this sci-fi, shooting, dung

Death is the best time to reflect upon life. As an interesting sidenote, I didn't know who SJ was, so I googled that quote. Your comment here was the first result out of 850

I'm not so certain that comment's harmless. I'd honestly say that comment is not too far from comments such as "Me too" and "I agree," a type of comment that contains no substance and spreads the message that it is acceptable to write comme

The comment I was responding to was solely about the Internet. Barack Obama has done much more in the way of the traditional $2000 dinner events, while probably 90% of Ron Paul's funds came over the Internet.

This reminds me of how Romania grades its universities by the number of students they pass. The result? Easy classes.

Most modern English speakers seem to use way, way fewer semicolons than they should; I'm not sure whether to blame this on education or if it's just the bar for publishing being lowered; nevertheless, the vast majority of people I've talked

I read once in Discover Magazine that standing (and, to a lesser extent, sitting up) causes the release of stress hormones that impair thinking. Given that, a standing desk may not truly be all that.(Sorry, I couldn't find a link to it on t

I suspect you don't know who Jared Diamond is. He is the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse . It is certainly not weird at all to include the author's name if the author is a famous writer.

That is correct: AP Comp Sci is not an introductory class. It is merely a standardized test, with an accompanying standardized curriculum. How schools decide to teach that curriculum is up to them. For example, I had to take two semesters o
