The main flaw with AP classes is you have to know what your college will do with your credits, and you have to know your major.

My example from 2001.

I took two AP classes: US History and Calculus.

When I was accepted to my university as a computer science major, I found out my Calculus credits would be converted to Business Calc, which was meaningless to a CS degree. My US History class would count as a 3 credit elective.

I took the History test, opted out of the Math test. It worked out well for me. I got the credits and had some experience in Calculus prior to taking it in college.

My only problem with the AP classes, is the teachers become pushers. They want you to take the test. Everyone takes the test. Why won't you take the test? I'm sure they are reviewed based upon their scores, but it has to be in my best interest.

Furthermore, these classes do look good on your college application. Just be smart about which tests to take.

I second this. I was diagnosed as an adult (two years after college). I'm now thirty.

If you are not hyperactive as a child, I feel it's very rare that you will get diagnosed. People forgot these days there is just the attention-deficit-disorder without the hyper-activity.

Call your general physician.

Here's a document which speaks of the payment and the problems Comcast was having:

On February 2, 2012, AF Holdings served the Subpoena on Comcast. Fourteen days later, on February 16, 2012, Comcast objected to the Subpoena on four separate grounds: inadequate time for compliance, inadequate assurance of payment, improper joinder and lack of personal jurisdiction. After a good faith meet-and-confer conference on the same day, Comcast agreed to withdraw its objection regarding assurance of payment, but indicated it would stand on its remaining objections.

--- It's more recent, so they also raised other issues other than non-payment. The inadequate time issue is relating to staffing while joinder and lack of jurisdiction, I do commend comcast for fighting.

This one law firm has had cases against tens of thousands of internet users. To this date they have never served a single one.

Here's proof from Prenda itself in a court filing: "Although our records indicate that we have filed suits against individual copyright infringement defendants, our records indicate that no defendants have been served in the below-listed cases."

Comcast has only recently started fighting back against this one law firm (Prenda) because they were not promptly paying Comcast's fee for handing over subscriber information.

Comcast charges $45 per IP address for civil cases. Prenda was late with payments in another case and the dispute even made the court docket. Comcast said to the court they discussed payment terms with Duffy (Prenda's main counsel) and resolved their differences.

I do not know if Prenda ever ended up paying Comcast, but Comcast's refusal to comply to me seem more rooted in the costs to their legal department than to protecting their customers.

Comcast had no problem giving out thousands of customer's information for two years to these black mailers until recently. The merits of the case have never changed. They sue people in favorable jurisdictions and only Comcast could have stepped forward with the contact information and fought that with real evidence.

Kudos to Comcast, but don't consider them for sainthood yet.

Comcast actually requires a fee from the plaintiff, I've heard it's $45 an IP.

Recently, they've had trouble with certain law firms actually paying these fees in a timely matter which prompted them to start fighting these law suits.

At the rate these suits are being filed, they've really had to staff up. You can't hire someone from a temp agency to work in your legal department.
