    Laptop Computers

    Superfish directly injects code into each page your browser loads. It creates a "man in the middle" between you and whatever web resource you are accessing. This is different from google and MS and apple keeping track of what you do on their own servers. This shit allows for malicious software...

    This and that black show is racist garbage. I, for one, am offended that non whites are allowed to be publicly racist now. Do not want.

    Probably most. But someone with no pedegree is looking for experience to stick on his CV. After that no one will give two fucks if the person has a degree or not.

    Here is Google's point of view on things: In Head-Hunting, Big Data May Not Be Such a Big Deal - NYTimes.com Something tells me that people here that insist that degrees are important are people in industries where software is an expense or where software is highly specialized (like...

    Greece - A New Hope

    You wish. If the south was cut off, the few rich people there would not give the food away to the poor. They would sell it to the richer states while working most of your population into the ground. You shit heels would just riot, murder and steal increasing police and prison costs to the rest...

    I wish I could. Sadly you mother fuckers are like cockroaches and would find a way to survive and will most likely cost us even more money. I'd just love for you worthless cunts to starve to death but sadly it would not happen.

    Greece - A New Hope

    Too bad they couldnt do anything with the raw goods they grew and had to ship it north to actually process them. Things would have worked out one way or another but we would not be stuck with the likes of Gadrel around.

    Greece - A New Hope

    All that production and yet the southern states are the poorest in the nation and draw the biggest welfare disbursements from the federal government. How sad for the south. btw GSP is not a per capita adjusted number. States with more people have larger GDPs? Shocking!.

    Greece - A New Hope

    The south produces nothing but poverty and meth. If the south was gone the bread basket would just produce more shit. Hell, my state, NY, produces more food than some of the shit holes down south. Fuck the south. Lincoln shouldnt have bothered.

    Greece - A New Hope

    Nah. Someone said Greece fudged books to get into EU. Someone else said that this is incorrect because at the time of joining, Greece met the requirements but when the requirements were changed later on by EU, Greece no longer met such requirements. But they were already in EU so the new reqs...

    Xeq was answering a claim that greece fudged the books. He said that accounting rules were changed by EU, not greece. You came out and said "OMG THIS IS PROOF THAT GREECE FUDGED BOOKS". Clearly retarded.

    Greece - A New Hope

    Austerity refers to shrinking goverment expendetures. Its not about paying debts, its about spending less. Doing so in shitty economic times is a bad fucking idea. Unless one considers greece's current economic situation "good".

    The guy served 5 years in the military. There is very little chance that someone will think he has no experience outside of academia. He can do bachelors straight into masters no problem imo.

    My assumption is based on him saying that it wasnt real math. To me that means one of two things: 1) Person is computationally minded and trained and the class was all theory with no applications 2) Person understands that math is more than a few algorithms and was expecting a theory class...

    Thats silly. You either took a class that was nothing but memorizing computational algorithms or you took a class that was only theory with zero attempts to model it. A fail numerical analysis class all around most likely.

    Twice a day. There is something sexy about building a theoretical model and then writing a computational approximation of it.

    Just an aside. "Computational trash" is more a reference to how the subject of math is taught than a reference to the underlying math. I used to jerk it to numerical analysis at least twice a day and its "computational" so its not that i am putting down computational mathematics, its just that...

    Why do a graduate degree? Because what you learn in undergrad is not enough for the type of jobs that require a masters or a phd? Duh? Anyway those in this thread who think calculus, as its taught in first year of college, is real math and that accounting is applied math or any nonsense like...

    Mortgage refinance offers

    Your mortgage is on record so they know the face value of the mortgage. As far as what they can save you, it depends on the rate they are offering and the closing costs. Call them and ask for a GFE then figure it out.
