This is a great move by Microsoft, get students comfortable using word and then remove their access the second they graduate. I'm glad I bought office 2010 from my school at the discounted rate before they switched over to 365 this year. Granted the 2010 version is slightly out of date, at...

Those numbers line up pretty well with my experiences in computer science and engineering courses. If anything having a 24% female work force is higher than my personal observations, I typically only see 3-4 women in a class of 40. As for comparing incomes between races and sexes as an average...

I'd be interested in finding out how long before that battery was dead. It seems to be fighting quit a bit of friction as it rattled along and the amount of current that would be needed to provide that amount of thrust would be considerable. I wouldn't be surprised if that battery was already...

Do women actually believe they are the only ones who get harassed in the gaming social circles? Just joining an online game is an opening for harassment regardless of your gender, or race. People are just assholes online and only a moron would expect otherwise based on your gender. What I feel...

I can't imagine why retailers aren't totally on-board with having yet another company taking a slice off the top. There are already plenty of smaller stores that wont take american express because of their high percentage fee.

The way I read the article is that he agreed that video games are a form of art, but that people should stop trying to get everyone to see it as art. When something is universally considered art, it's well and truly dead, like the Renaissance era paintings. At least that was my take on the article.

Considering Valve brings in ~a Billion dollars a year, their valuation would be extremely high and I don't think Amazon would be able to or willing to foot the bill.

Galaxy is a great reliable company who's card you can trust!
