DISQUS

Regarding all the questions about MCQ changing in difficulty during the exam: the CPA exam uses "adaptive testing." If you totally rock the first testlet, the second testlet you receive will be more difficult. While it's totally subjective, you can kind of get an idea of how you are doing on the MCQ based on the difficulty between testlets. No change in difficulty doesn't mean you are doing poorly, it could simply mean you are comparable to other passing candidiates.

Had an old version of 2.0 installed. I used your directions and now I have the current version installed on Ubuntu 8.10 and running my Windows 7 beta inside. Version 2.1 made this much easier to do. Thanks for the 'How To'!

Well, I've got 3 out of the 4 on MN Stories... and yes, it's one heckuva commitment! :-)

Having the split screen is immensely helpful

Excellent comment. I like visual bandwidth. I use Lucida 7pt font and have 10 to 15 panes, “splits”, open at a time in an Emacs window on my desktop for a project, usually with 2 full height panes (100+ lines and 78 columns). On my laptop, it’s 8-10 panes for a project, with the same full height at 1440×900 in Lucida 6pt. A major project will normally have 50+ files/buffers loaded (source files, test inputs & outputs, notes, etc.). I will frequently spawn a temporary 2-pane window to do a complex copy-and-fill from a virtual list (each element embedded in text fragment) in one pane into a different sequence of text fragments in the second pane using a temporary recorded keystroke macro. All this has seemed easy to do in Emacs for years.

Each to his/her own taste, though.

I agree. What happened to people accepting responsibility for their own mistakes? The economy is tough on us too and IMO has shown us where we were not careful enough in our investments and spending/saving habits. No one forced me to sign on the dotted line.
This HR3221 encourages an entitlement mindset. The government will always take care of us and bail us out.

A no brainer , Andy`s an ex player, been a colour announcer for years and in general just knows the game.
He can also be a homer and at times a bit overbearing.
However Tommy Smythe, knows little about the game, in fact is annoyingly ignorant and tends to irritate the audience with his attempts to appear knowledgable.
Finally someone at ESPN wised up.

thanks for the review/setlist...i just created an ipod playlist off of it using tracks from the double live album they released awhile back...hope they release some of these shows someday

I want those with an engine

It seems the toon faithfull are unanimous in their choice of former Chelsea man Jose M. Who knows he may accept ?and what about big Phil Scolari? both proven winners.
As far as homegrown managers possibly M. O`N. ,or Hughes, if none of the above are available, what about Shearer backed by Sir Bobby as an adviser.

From a New Mexican I hope that it isn't true that Bill Richardson is sending his followers to Barack Obama. As I stand here I am in favor of Richardson and his experience and if thats where it stands I won't even vote for him. Barack Obama has no foriegn experience and at this point in time I don't we believe to hand out the presidency as an on the training program.

i just want to thank you for the nice comments you said about the cosi rittenhouse squad. i have been commuting five days a week from new jersey for over a year now just to be a part of our great team, and it's nice to know it doesn't go unnoticed. i also agree with your logic pertaining to the "i gotcha" attitude compared to the resume. Someday, when i own my own restaurant, there is no doubt that i will be hiring a bunch of "i gotchas"

Someone (who hardly actually spoke) had a really bad case of the sniffles during this podcast. You guys should mute your mics if you're not going to speak for awhile. The sniffles outbursts made it very difficult to focus on the discussion.

I'd buy one.

When the voters look at the cost, poverty will be re-elected.

Gaffer,


I currently subscribe to Setanta, FSC, and GolTV, but the PPV prices are becoming exorbitant - $25 for the FA Cup is too much and a $20 cover is over the top. Hopefully the trend will be arrested - and quickly. I would implore anyone thinking of plonking down $25 for PPV or $20 cover to resist and send a message that soccer cannot become the next Ultimate Fighting Championship in the US. Aren't the broadcasters making enough already??



Go ManU

I am sorely dissapointed that I will not be able to enjoy my team thrashing Chelsea in the FA Cup as Setanta has chosen not to show the game live except in pubs with a mandatory $20 cover!!! This is OUTRAGEOUS! I sincerely hope that every pub in the nation is deserted this Saturday just to show Setanta how stupid they are being!! I plan to avoid any news reports and watch the repeat broadcast at home for free.


All for screwing over the soccer-watching minority in the States, stand up!!!

This all a waste of time. No one is going to change their way of living in enough numbers to make any difference and even God will not be able to save the career of any politician who tries to make them.

The question now is how long will Israel permit Iran to be around to even have a history.

Rob,


Thanks for adding a great new blog to my RSS feed! I live out of town, and would rather read this than the Globe site. And thanks for the tip on Mnookin's blog.



A couple of the good Sox blogs that I like are 'Over the Monster' (http://www.overthemonster.com/) and 'Firebrand if the AL' (http://mvn.com/mlb-redsox/). Both are great fan-based sites.



And as long as we are on new media here, I will also throw out a couple of good podcasts. 'Corn, Gordon & Flanagan'(http://corngordon.mypodcasts.net/) has some great discussion (though only every 2 weeks), and 'The Original Red Sox Podcast' (http://redsoxpodcast.com/), a father & son team that has some more regular contributions.



ANy other worthwhile podcasts out there?

Excellent, Your blog on losing fat is great.
Keep blogging on.

Great, Your blog on cutting fat out is excellent.
I marked it in my browser to visit again.

Oh, I'll come back if Ben is busy. Hey for more lottery winning ideas. I've already won some prize money playing e-lotto. Nothing big yet, but still I'm winning.

Gardner is a dope. Would he rather watch Serie A? Talk about boring. Maybe the Ligue 1? Give me a break. Gardner is just taking the role of the contrarian to make column-inches. What a fraud.


And since when is the number of goals scored the sole indicator of good soccer? I've seen some awesome 0-0 matches and some totally worthless 3-3 goal-fests. For my money (and I do pay for FSC, Gol TV, and Setanta) the Premier Lg. is the best with the most exciting matches and top teams. The only team that comes close to playing as scintilating at Man U right now is Barcelona.



Gardner can continue to watch the Bulgarian 2nd division for all I care. Give me the EPL.

We are the OVERSEERS! "Overseers".  What a downright scary notion, right out of the middle ages and the crusaders.  Nonsense that only religion can provide.
