1. Future pensions aren't relevant to a discussion of present income vs expenses. At issue here is whether or not a teacher might reasonably be cash-strapped. 4. Many teachers work over 70 hours a week. Your data includes preschool and midd

Thanks. I stand corrected.

Keep in mind the purpose and tone of this article of his. He is not trying to merely state matters of fact. He is stating some matters of fact while also betting his reputation on a few matters of inference. Betting your reputation is one t

If he calls them felons and they wind up being acquitted for whatever reason, however technical or stupid, then he would be liable for libel. He clearly wanted to avoid using weasel words. The only way to do that without being reckless is t

Someone (maybe everyone) in that group knew what they were doing to be wrong. I doubt that they will abandon their ethical choice; they'll find smarter ways to do what they'd intended all along. One thing that might work is if someone in th

I'm surprised at some of what's being said in this string of replies as well as what's being upvoted. Not you in particular, but I want this to be seen by people in multiple child-threads and am posting here. 1. $60k is pretty much a ceilin

I wouldn't. I have seen it said a hundred times that there are competitors. I lack the insight into the relevant technical issues to evaluate them even if I wanted to try. I'd like to hear someone else's answer to that question, though.

I agree--that bit was clearly intentional.

I've seen a study that people who sleep 8/9 hours a night typically don't live as long. Of course, correlation vs causation and all that.

Whatever the latin for being wrong while trying to appeal to authority and intimidate someone would be. If you want to coin it, seems like you can!

You'll find what you are describing as entitlement in every generation in history, usually present in its most outstanding members. It's not new to today's youth, and it's not the negative trait that you are framing it as. When viewed favo

Maybe so, but the content of those words is mostly clumsy and overwrought.

Would that be confusing to use that terminology since groups was recently a staple of facebook with a very different meaning?

The high-profile "social" games are just really, super casual games that can be attached to something like Facebook. The fact that they're not fun is part of why they are successful. You're just kind of trivially there, so you don't feel do

Well that explains it perfectly. Thanks.

Ha--great answer. Thanks. So it was technologically groundbreaking? Novel game-play? Both? My game like that was either Ocarina of Time or maybe Goldeneye 64.

Feeding 10,000 cats--not that hard. Getting 10,000 cats to breed optimally--pretty much impossible. Heck, try getting three of them to optimally not fight each other for a week at a time.

You either up the realism on the character model or scale it back on the environment, physics, sound, story, gameplay, etc.. The Team Fortress 2 art style would be perfectly appropriate to keep him looking smarmy and impossibly perfect. A g

I guess it's because I'm slightly too young to have enjoyed it in its prime, but I don't get the excitement over the Duke franchise. It seems like a standard FPS with some cheeseball bravado, sexism, and sex wrapped around the mechanics. Al

If someone could show that there is no way for those forces/laws to have been otherwise, that would mean that every possible universe would be conducive to life, and that would remove the need for infinite universes and for god in explainin

Well, that's only the localized version of that argument. The better argument is concerned with the capacity for the universe itself to hold any life whatsoever. The relationship between the fundamental forces (strong, weak, gravity, etc.)

Netflix can get a customer in perpetuity at $9-$15. Much higher than that, it becomes a budget item that's scrutinized once a month, twice a year, or when times get tough. I canceled cable with enthusiasm because it saved me $50 a month. I

"Those who can't do, teach." Believe it or not, teaching IS doing. It is a separate skill set, a separate collection of values, and a separate set interests. The idea that all who choose to be professors are failures at business is totally

"But that's _everything_ worth doing" Emphatically, NO!, it isn't. If the only thing worth being in your worldview is the equivalent of Jimi Hendrix, you are setting yourself up for disappointment, and you have a small view of your fellow m
