Well, since the entrance exam would likely be geared toward people graduating high school , wouldn't the entrance questions have to be at that level of educational experience?

Because in reality he could have gotten to 99% but never to 100%. There was always the chance that a student genuinely aced the exam on his own accord but would get accused of cheating and expelled anyway. That would be disaster for the p

Here's the thing. YOUR debt collectors don't have the right or the privilege to harass ME over your debts, just because we're linked as "friends" on facebook or whatever social network, even if they don't tell me the reason why they are pe

What about the annoyance factor? "Hey why are these strangers contacting me and asking me to send you messages to contact them?! Do I look like your personal secretary??"

Well, since they wanted the ability to build any previous version of PostGreSQL from the version history, for them I'd say it was quite valuable. I would suspect this is the main driving issue for whether or not to preserve commit history

That's why you get an unlocked phone and buy an international SIM chip that you swap in overseas. $20K/year is ridiculous, and probably an exaggeration or lie on his part to try to make himself look like a desirable customer.

Someone else above said the Kindle edition of 1984 was 99 cents. I'm sure the publisher is well aware of the benefits of having a kindle edition, but got greedy and demanded it be sold at a significantly higher price (or they get a much la

Hmm, are you making a joke about Hoover, or am I not the only one who thought the title said "Instant sex charge ", with the article going to be about the FBI's kiddie porn honeypot sites, where even an accidental click on one could get yo

That's surprisingly a pretty common sting. I've heard it used to nab deadbeat dads by getting them to all come to a stadium to "collect the prize they won".

It's difficult to follow, and I haven't read all the legal proceedings, but here is what I have gathered: * Think Computer coined the term "The Facebook" to describe an in-house portal system at Harvard University which they built, back in

No doubt this is in response to the "I am Rich" app, which technically could not be rejected on fraudulent grounds since the description stated it did absolutely nothing. Yes, I know Apple pulled it anyway, but they potentially set themselv

Blockbuster has enough clout to force movie companies to "water down" their product so they don't have to sell "unrated / NC-17" editions of movies, why can't they negotiate a much better public screening rate? Also, if it is so un-economi

I'm surprised this hasn't been a problem before for Verizon. Many Japanese surnames, when romanized, have the string 'shit' in it. In fact, ICANN had to change their rules for domain name registration to allow for this after many people co
