He was fired back in 2010 and will be going back to prison in October. I'm pretty sure he's in jail until then.

Am I the only one that doesn't really like it? I see all these websites talking about how amazing it is, but it's just, eh. Everything pre-chatroulette was alright and realistic but then a third of the movie is wasted time jumping around dick shots until he magically hits upon a girl who has a quick speech talking about how fake Facebook is.

The bond between those two parts doesn't really work for me. And it seems like he just ran out of ideas for concluding the Facebook paranoia/break up scene so he cheated with the speech.

It's like a bunch of people see this movie is completely on a screen and it's this hard hitting revelation that relationships are now on screen and so this movie perfectly encapsulates a young person's relationship.

The article specifically states that ODAP bears no no risk of toxicity unless someone is suffering from malnutrition, stress, or acute hunger.

It doesn't really invalidate them, it says that if you eat the seeds while malnourished the ODAP can kill you. It doesn't mention anything about him dying in an unforeseen accident, he went into the Alaskan bush unprepared and died of malnutrition. If he brought a map he could've walked to safety when he started to realize his plight.

Sony Pictures Television produced Breaking Bad[1], and Mad Men was produced by Lionsgate Television [2](who also produced Orange is the New Black). Netflix doesn't need to buy AMC, they just need to outbid other companies when buying content. Which is exactly what they did for House of Cards, they beat AMC and HBO for the rights[3].

So it's a barebones PC running Ubuntu. Sorry but I'm going to join the "big deal" crowd. What I'd gladly pay money for is a cheap Chromebook knockoff that runs linux natively without messing around with developer mode or whatever.

You might add something on the landing page saying what exactly you do. I read through everything and it doesn't specify how it'll improve English; is it just drills? A therapist to coach people? Pronunciation checking software?

Manager: "What have you been doing all afternoon?"

Underling: "Oh well I was in communication with the software company trying to resolve the button issue you raised this morning. Good news though they're adding it to the next release."

Manager: "Good job, way to take the initiative. Now let's talk about this TPS report problem."

The prisoners would go crazy from the lack of variety. Nutraloaf sucks, and as bad as prison food is the same bland loaf of crap day in and day out will just make everyone angry. People aren't robots, and putting at least a little effort towards keeping prisoners from causing trouble is well worth it.
