Insofar as it extends to making sure that their is a suitable learning environment. If you do not wish to pay attention, it is not the job of the professor to try to force you to. A good professor attempts to make their material interesting enough that people will pay attention, but some...

Outside of a post secondary institute I would agree with you, but this is university. One of the most important lessons you are meant to learn is that you will likely do badly if you don't pay attention to the lectures (depending on the prof). It is not the job of the professor to make sure you...

gain 8kg, drink less?

Heyo, planning to get an external hard drive for my brother this christmas, he would most likely just leave it on his desk in his room most of the time, he also downloads a lot of stuff off of the university network. looking for something around the $110-120 range (canadian), around 1tb. (his...

thank the sky wizard for condoms.

That is one ridiculously expensive stroller. $750?! This thing better have some crazy features or something for that kind of money.

I suggest you check on anythingbutipod.com, has a good sorting thing. Here is what it dragged up: Samsung YP-Q2: Cost: $100 Screen Size: 2.4" Capacities: 8GB Resolution: 320x240 Memory: Flash Battery: 50.0 hrs / 4.0 hrs Colors: Black, White Audio: MP3, WMA, FLAC, OGG Archos 2 Vision...

please not an updated dota. I can't stand it, dota dota dota! play a different AoS for smurf's sake.

Also looking at the msi gx660 which is supposed to be coming out on the 12th, but I don't really like the case, too flashy. or the asus g53jx which is also supposed to be coming out soon, unfortunately perhaps a bit too late for me, and I don't relish the thought of switching laptops partway...

sorry about the double posting, but was recently looking at sager and was wondering whether anyone has had any experience with them. looking on reseller ratings it appears that there customer service is horrible, but that might just be due to response bias. more specifically was wondering...

To be fair you have only given nine hours, and most people refrain from commenting on issues that they do not have sufficient knowledge of for fear of lending false advice or leading people astray. someone will probably come around who has the experience to knowledgably comment on your question.

Acadia, thanks for asking, and thanks for the recommendation, still looking around, but around 15" seems a good balance. also looking at the envy14 right now.

thanks for the advice, portability isn't really a problem given that I am going to be living on campus, and it is a tiny university, like really small, as in half a click across, at most. The whole campus is based upon everyone having a laptop so there are plugs everywhere, although it might be...

Going to university soon, and need to pick up a laptop, I'll post the details of the deals that my school offers on laptops below. I apologize for the fact that I couldn't find the pre-built checklist so I used to general hardware one. not the most experienced person with computers, so please...

I have 500 hours on Morrowind. So, moderately close?

The principals ideas seem to be similar to abstinence only sex education, rather then trying to teach responsibility, they just say that you can't use it until you are older, which just means that they have no idea what the hell they are doing and can't ask because that goes against the...

So no one cares about the fact that the application developers are no longer obliged to delete the information given to them about users after 24 hours and can now keep it indefinitely?

I don't really like the new doctor, David Tennant was great

made an account and retweeted to all my zero friends. just gonna forget the account after this, and totally worth a chance to get a free ssd

doesn't strictly apply here, but along the same vein, link. While I agree with some of the last paragraph, mostly the guarding against physical harm which I see taken to extremes sometimes, but to take the case of checking in little league hockey, its dangerous, especially with children when...

Who would ever buy a single Pink Floyd song, you listen to the entire fucking album, you don't just cut out a tiny piece of it.

Everyone knows it was a soundstage on mars, duh.

Isn't this the way society already works?

I dunno, I find phone conversation really really hard and awkward, chatting over instant message isn't bad, it allows for a minute or so before needing to reply so there are no awkward pauses.

That is a perfectly valid fear to hold when greeting me

Is it wrong if rather then thinking that these inventions are idiotic I think they are all awesome?

The hockey is all that matters

I second the return of Elvis prediction.

Fair enough, we aren't very good socialists, but I have read a fair bit of Marx. Canada could still be arguable be called socialist, if only because socialism is so ill-defined. Well the States appear to have the highest infant mortality rates of any developed country at 6.3/1000. link This...

How do you judge the welfare of a country if not by the welfare of its citizens?

Sorry, but how is communism the logical progression of socialism? I totally agree with you on there never having been a true communist government, but I see no reason to presume that socialism leads to communism. Take a look at Canada, we are supposedly socialists, although Harper is trying to...

Gods I hate Ayn Rand, one thing that she never appears to have grasped is that all moral values are man made. justice is a social contract. In your quote from her she also states that people do not have a right to education seeing as it is manmade. As has been pointed out many times you enjoy...

wait up, are you Canadian or an american? I mean you seem to know about the gun registry, which for reference I actually support, but then you go on to say that the states is the best/freest which is a bit of a surprising sentiment for an american. I would also have to disagree with freest...

Moving Microsoft into Canada would make him a hero to me. :) it is all just point of view.

Well yeah, cause many people have been hurt by religion. thus you are almost guaranteed to come across anti-theists whether on the internet or nay, the only difference being that people on the internet are less concerned about insulting other people.

What about someone who is part of the current generation and thinks our music sucks? I mean, it truly does. most of modern music is heavily edited so that you can bear hearing the singers voice, and don't realize how absolutely horrible the rest of the band is, if there even is a rest of the...

mangled the story here a bit, he wasn't isolated for 9 hours in a small room, he spoke no english and couldn't find his way out of the airport to meet his mother who had come to pick him up at the airport. airport staff told the mother to go home when she couldn't find him for a while. After...

Its not that people don't like police being around, we just wish there weren't so many corrupt ones who think that they are beyond the law because they are the law.

So you would want all links to be text, not images? or just have a really simple template?

I prefer the xkcd people having sex within a certain area of you equation.
