> Joe Schwartz, a 1992 graduate and former lawyer, said of his band experience, which began by playing a blowtorch, “It’s probably not a coincidence that I’m in the chair asking the dean for one more chance and then I’m the one in front of the judge asking for one more chance.”
Nice.
While the administration's disingenuous rulebook-throwing is fooling no one and tarnishing the university's reputation, it is healthy to have an occasional reminder that the government/administration is not your friend, and a movement of the people, which a scramble band is, would do well to find its way as independent citizens.
Columbia University football team sues for divorce from the band? My bet is on the band coming out on top.
Objective-C has no object methods, just pure multiple-dispatch for a generic "select" operation? that's amazing.
In practice, either the program was a money grab, or terminating it was. Public opinion has been that the program was a money grab, incentivizing state+local to aggressively seize funds under federal law, to get the "equitable sharing" kickbacks. Without "equitable sharing", states+locals have no incentive to seize funds to seize funds to send to the Feds.

The Marissa Mayer who turned around Yahoo by... waiting for Alibaba stock holdings to grow in value to cover the negative value of Yahoo's own projects?
That day, no one will pay you to do what you do.
"suddenly" is a funny way to say "over a span of years"....
Sure, this aligns with interests, but the bug's existence is predicated on the entire code base being written with substandard style rules and no static analysis or tests, which suggests to me that incompetence got here first.

Fascinating.
Anyway. This is collectivism .
"I am busy with other projects right now, but keep me in the loop as you make progress. Maybe write up a business plan and hire an oDesk freelancer to make a mockup/demo, and you can pitch someone for a seed investment"
No, you aren't. Nearly every commenter on the WSJ site was offended by Mr Perkins (who we hope is senile, not at evil as his words betray) and by the WSJ for printing it. It is hard to imagine that the article was printed as anything but an opportunitistic fanning of backlash against Perkins and his company, but, there is always Poe's law.
It's 2014. Why don't tracks have sensors communicating with trains over radio waves?
