Well skimming, there were a large number of 0 to 3 score reviews that used "1997" in their opening paragraph.

If you're talking about the user metacritic score, I think that's pretty normal.

It does appear to be Andrey Shishkin, a modern Russian artist. Can't seem to find the title but here's one of the many places the image is linked and credited to Shishkin: http://alabaster1.tumblr.com/post/52322365447/andrey-shishkin

I don't think that's what the Halloween request was about. Pretty sure they were saying to their student body "don't dress up in blackface or throw on a white bed sheet and go as a klan member or dress as a nazi or similar".

For the ES and Fallouts, I've ended up with them on both, usually getting the PC one a little later to pick up mods and expansions.

Hmmm, not many of those games are ones I had (or still have). Not that I have a ONE anyhow.

He doesn't have to stand there and be yelled out, no. But he really doesn't have the recourse of yelling back (unless iron-clad tenure) without having it have some ramifications. Students and faculty are not held to the same standard.

Hard to say. Mathematics is study of such topics as quantity (numbers), structure, space and change. Algorithms, as I already said in my previous post, means a set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps. Because question which is older comes to how we define when one has come to exists from instinctual behavior of an organism. Most of the early known work in math was actually built within philosophical thought. Cosmologies trying to understand how the universe worked and why it worked that way could be considered a proto-algorithm as they try to solve the nature of reality with a series of finite logical statements (for example, Plato's Timaeus dialogue). I'm not sure why the age of either matters though, not being privy to original discussion. Seems a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" argument. If we define math as a study of topics (including quantities, structure, space and change) the objects being studied have to exist prior to the ability to study them. So if we argue that Liebniz and Newton "developed" Calculus in the 1600s, we're not actually arguing that the area under a curve or relations between rates of change didn't exist prior to it, but that they gave us abilities to express those concepts that already existed within a mathematical context. Within this, however, we can argue that caluclus is "younger" than, say Number Theory (c. 1800 BCE) based on known developments within those concepts/disciplines.

Do we know its a bunch of "upper-class" kids? Yale (and Ivy League schools in general) don't have ridiculously high admissions requirements and presumably would have tuition assistance in addition to financial aid to pull in highly qualified but poorer students into their freshman population. Most faculty members (and particularly ones without iron clad tenure) aren't going to tell a student to **** off. Just not going to happen.

Hahahah, they did read a book. It was Alan Moore's V for Vendetta. Or more likely, they saw the movie version. Either way the adoption of the Fawkes mask is totally related to that book and its film adaption and not, weirdly enough, the Gunpowder plot itself or Bonfire Night*. And probably goes a good way to explain why you get reference to it in August because someone was probably quoting the book/movie. *Well tangentially, masks of Fawkes used to be used on bonfire night, but the modern masks are based heavily on Lloyd's look of the V mask.

Some refrigerators will have an on/off switch inside as part of what the owner has to do in the defrosting cycle. Or leaving the door open like Hurl said.

Again, that's just not true. Yes 100 or 50 years ago it could have led to punishment, that doesn't mean that it would excepting perhaps military college which have always had more stringent enforcement of rules of conduct. And again an outburst "in class" to a faculty member is totally different from an outburst involving residential faculty in a courtyard on campus with a student. Context is very important when considering student disciplinary matters and a "one size fits all approach" is rarely utilized with student disciplinary issues with the exceptions of situations that involve criminal acts or happen in the classroom.

That's not necessarily true; if the college or university has a "free speech" space and they were at it the student could say whatever they want. Also, generally speaking, colleges tend to try and give students leeway when not dealing with incidents "in-class" in the idea that their can be something learned from the moment. That said, I've read about the Yale Halloween stuff. Essentially the university sent an email out reminding people not to dress up in blackface or yellowface or be culturally insensitive with costumes. A faculty member then expressed that students should be allowed to be offensive with their costumes; her husband backed it up. That led to the confrontation between that husband and some students. Looking at that, I doubt Yale would do anything to the student for what she said. Also apparently Variety removed the line from the Fallout article without actually doing a correction to the piece which has a lot of people more angry than making the mistake in the first place.

Knowing you're friends, they'll try and hook you up with a nice single mother to celebrate. Because the old flame had twins or because he looks like a bloody eyed future zombie?

I thought about jumping and ultimately decided it was a bad idea and didn't.

Wasn't the original idea that you were only going to be able to camp at safe rest spots (available on only some maps) and that was changed because everyone hated the idea, but Obs didn't want to allow rest anywhere because resting anywhere also breaks immersion (Hmmm, troll nest...feeling sleepy...what bad could happen) so they went with an abstraction of the limited rest spots by using the camping gear? Seems kinda like (as many things have with PoE) they're damned if they do and damned if they don't...

That's true of most people; the idea is to answer based on what would be the "most common" action/reaction/feeling.

To me there's a lot to like and dislike in the prequels. I enjoy them, but also feel they were a lost opportunity and not really to the level of the original series.

Pretty much verbatim what I was going to say Myers-Briggs always pegs me as INFP and this was no exception. I'm a "turbulent" variant according to this website. I came out as turbulent as well! Twinsies!

Ah, Myers-Briggs, we meet again. I come out INFP ("the mediator")

The period I'm talking about was pre-Disney buyout so they had no influence on the toys. Now that they do, they're making other outfits available (Leia in Disney Infinity, for example, has the white outfit and the bounty hunter outfit). Not that any of that matters, I guess...

That was like a white jump suit? Or the burgandy-brown dress w/pants and a shawl thing she had on in Cloud City? (If I remember correctly - its been a startling number of years since I've seen Empire). Does it sell because that's what people want or does it sell because that's all they have? Probably a bit of both.
