What kind of college did you go to? In the two I went to, the late fees were something like several dollars a day, and you couldn't graduate unless it was paid off. (At best you could negotiate to pay the retail cost of the book.) Addition

Only one major problem I see; you can't "hold" any colors that are under the hex or rgb values, because if you click there it copies the values instead. But of course that's a trade off, because that's a cool feature to have.

Right. Like I started forging the report cards I gave to my parents starting in 8th grade. I'm not proud of that. Would I really put that on an application?

I have a pretty good friend on here that has The Best answer to the "hacked" question, and I would never, ever be co-founders with him because he's impossible. There's often a trade-off between "naughtiness" and "friendship."

Well, that's how I learned programming, and to this day I haven't managed to collaborate with anyone on anything. My friends that did group projects in a class, by comparison, are quite good at it.

Right. I really like his point about the schooling being a factory, with people going through based on date of manufacture. I absolutely think it would be awesome if you could go through your grades at your own pace, in different subjects

There are almost certainly other services out there, but the advantage of Lulu is that you have a much wider audience. Sure, 50% is high, but it's better to have 50% of something than 20% of nothing. As an alternative, you might want to co

Probably because you don't get many donations by espousing capitalism in your guiding principles. But mush of their work uses capitalist principles, which you can see if you look at some of their programs: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/gl

I'm sorry, I should have typed "thirty divided by four," which is what I actually said, instead of 30/4, but I was lazy. And yes, math is absolutely not about calculating. I was supporting the previous poster's point that they suck at cal

More anecdotal evidence! Last night, I jokingly asked my SO what 30/4 was. They said 8.25. Seriously. And they're an academic that does math for a living. I never got past single variable calculus, but I can do most 2 digit math in my hea
