And even then there are children who don't take food out of embarrassment. Someone I know did this as their school has separate lines for people paying with their own money and those getting discount or free lunch. One easy solution is

After a period of a few hundred years it becomes a pretty ready to go repository of weapons grade plutonium. The problematic isotopes all have died away.

Main gripe I have with PTVS: Please improve doc rendering, you can use sphinx to create rendered docs as Spyder does very well. It makes coding so much easier for use mortals you have not memorized numpy and every caveat. I'm specific

If it's a fact why not cite something then? Nothing indicates a majority of students oppose free speech. I think many speakers are dumb, so I don't attend them.

Wow, this is a very overlooked comment. I had no idea about Starcraft: Remastered. They're releasing the original game in HD. Pretty much nulls all of the 'no commercial value' arguments I see here.

The free version of Xming does not implement several things properly. Not sure which but some applications haven't run properly. There is a charityware version but I can't find my license for it. MobaXterm is another free version,

I am a TN resident. While my purple state district resembles a hairy amoeba reaching out into deep red areas, there will be no accountability. They won't expand Medicaid, are in the process of out sourcing many state jobs (parks, unive

Here in Knoxville I see billboards welcoming Gig-Speed internet by Comcast. It costs something like $300/mo with a two year contract and some ridiculous $2000 or so installation price. Gee, thanks?

I do work supported by the DOE, it's science work, you don't know what you are taking about. Go look at the web pages of the many national labs, almost all operated by the DOE.

In Tennessee Comcast emailed our state house asking if they want free TV political advertising, this was the day after blocking the expansion of municipal owned broadband. They know what they are doing.

Couldn't the companies simply reorg to effectively become a different business and not re sign up on the voluntary agreement?

Kind of depressing how easily all that past effort and public campaigning gets brushed aside for Telecom concerns

Statistical Inference by Casella is great for self learning, not only because of the main text but because it has a huge number of exercises and a detailed solutions manual can be found online.

I am very skeptical PBS would, given time, retain any amount of the high quality programs they have produced (Frontline, American Experience, Washington Week, etc.). Just look at how TLC, Discovery Channel, History Channel have changed over

Is it possible your wireless channel was overused? Most of my neighbors have comcast, as do we. I've had poor coverage and connection also, couldnt even get our wireless printer to work anymore. I used a program called WifiInfoView and

It's not his youtube subscriber base that he should worry about, it's his advertisement / cross-promotion deals. He did a series with Disney on Star Wars, promotes Audible on his channel, in addition to other deals.

What are you covering? Student loans can't be discharged. The govt makes a substantial amount of money from student loans as it currently is.

This is a really important point. Numberphile had an interview with mathematician Terrence Tao recently [1] and he was asked if he works on big problems like the Riemann Hypothesis. His response was that we just don't have enough mathe

It depends, lots of these experiments result in better bounds on theories. LUX for example pushed down the cross-section for WIMP dark matter below the previous measurement. That in itself is an advancement, with implications on what theori

What did people expect? I'm sure trump is surrounded by people who have fully bought into the 'gateway drug' myth. The worst is somehow claiming this will aid in the fight against opioids. What a joke!
