This is true, but you can also use NetCenter or Yahoo to

Generally, use highlight only when there are very few cars.
It is impolite and illegal to use high beam all the way. Also,
if there are other cars, it is not necessary to use high beam.
This is true. NEVER drive sleepy. Lots of highway accidents

侍者们交换了熟悉的眼神，大家想的都一样，“又来了...哪个倒霉蛋来接待这一桌？

THE RIGHT DAY TO TALK ABOUT GUNS
POSTED BY ALEX KOPPELMAN
“I don’t think today is that day,” Jay Carney, the White House Press
Secretary, said on Friday. He was responding to a question about gun control
and the shooting in an elementary school in Connecticut that reportedly
claimed the lives of twenty-six people —including twenty children between
the ages of five a... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 6130 | 6 You can be polite without having to listen to people say stuff you dont
wanna hear. Instead of saying you are speechless, you could say something
along the lines of "I am not interested in you that way. If you wanna be
friends, I am fine with it; but nothing more than that". If he still calls
you and talks weird, stop answering his phone calls - that will not be
considered impolite. |

difference". I guess you must be a very unique person since you couldn't
understand something that most people could. You would resort to self-
defense because you are not with someone you trust or really care. By the
way, it is very impolite to define that guy's behavior as so called "

April and her family just moved to a little town called Bart. It’s their

was hard always when it seemed that everyone else had their best friend

Most “battles” in the Christian Right’s so-called Culture Wars can be
best understood if seen, at least in part, as attempts to reassert and
enforce Christian privilege in modern society. One of the hallmarks of
modernity has been the rooting out of various forms of illegitimate
privilege, with Christian and religious privilege being among the last. Thus

Christianity and Christians will help... 阅读全帖 |

But I guess the concept of Nash bargaining game has been evolving. I checked
Nash 1953 after seeing the impolite post. Nash clearly called his two-
person bargaining game a cooperative one (as he assumed the agents can talk
to each other and the contract is enforceable.)
Then on the other hand, I vaguely remember some current paper on non-
cooperative solutions of Nash Bargaining game even with incomplete
information (If agents can talk and are cooperative, incomplete information

european culture. it's actually VERY different from american style.
For example, i know it's very impolite to ask for a raise in europe. it's
considered very rude. They are more flat,value a lot on work life balance,
and not many people wanted to go into management.
However in some parts of the U.S., e.g. new york, you are considered weak if
you never ask for a promotion. |
