...Which is why it's such a shame that RJP is also the most bloated, buggy, memory-leaking, crash-causing chunk of code ever to cast a shadow over my hard drive. When it goes down - which, if it's feeling merciful, is roughly once a week - the program instantly pretends to forget every song I ever fed it. Like a grandparent feigning deafness, it has to go off and "listen" to every single track for a couple of seconds before it'll function again.

I looked at the word, what the characters were thinking and doing, and just let the blocking come from that. In the “To be or not to be” speech, all of it has been...
Rosovsky notes that “how wealthy foundations and enterprises are is of legitimate concern to all sorts of people, inside and outside their walls,” and that the large chunk of university funding that comes in the form of government-sponsored research builds in a level of accountability to the public’s interests. Finally, he suggests that student evaluations, genuine power held by department chairs over their faculties, an ability to appeal one level up to a review board on any issue, and a concern for the university’s role in society...
