Simple answer: Because we're an order of magnitude bigger. More population. More beaurocracy

That's simply not true. The US has a smaller population than the EU (285M and 376M) and a proportionally smaller public sector (the EU tax burden is 41.5%, US 29%).

The real root of the matter is that the EU has far too many politicians, bureaucrats and civil servants, too much money, and too little idea or inclination to do anything other than expand their role.

At my University, all comp sci students are required to print out and sign the following form for every assignment we do, except a few classes that do require teams. It's been in effect for the 3rd year now:

On a note regarding school work in groups, we have 3 classes that allow teamwork in our comp sci dept:

Software Engineering I (3rd yr)
Software Engineering II (4th yr)
Database Implementation II (4th yr)

My plan was to take all 3, but S.E. I was such a horrible experience for me I declined to take the others. Our team bickered and had disagreements right until the end, and we weren't the only group. It would've been nice to have a course earlier in the curriculum that taught us how to work as a team. It may sound stupid to some of you, but I can tell you that my group sure could've used it.

It is nice to know that someone besides a politician can speak out of both sides of their mouth.

Alas, it seems to be a trick that certain Canadian politicians have yet to master.

10,000 years ago marked the end of the last ice age. Have a look at this link and tell me how hospitable the climate in Canada looked 10,000 years ago.

Also note the comment that Native peoples were able to quickly adapt to a changing environment through modifications in resource use, weaponry and hunting strategy. Climate changed; people adapted. Imagine that.

I reiterate, Climate has never been stable, and never will be.

And what about The USS Enterprise, aircraft carrier?

"The"? Erm, Time for a history lesson methinks...

A History of Ships Named Enterprise

Regarding CVs in particular, The Galloping Ghost made the name Enterprise famous, even if she's hardly remembered today.

Just in case mastercard wins...
If they do, however, we're all in a lot of trouble... the thought police are coming...

All I can envision is wrapping wire around your penis and sticking it in and out of a magnet.

For my last three years of highschool, my schoool finally had broadband net access. However, there was a catch: they bought a $20,000 Borderware firewall, which used a "smart filter": ie, if the site you wanted to go to was on a "master list" maintained by Borderware, then you were SOL. The problem that arrose was that while no one seemed to have a major problem with most censorship (except me), the school is Jewish, and taught a great deal of Holocaust education, which included going to neo-Nazi sites as well as memorial sites. But alas, both were censored by default, along with many Jewish-community sites (the Klan's site was allowed by default, while torah.org was banned, reason: cult). Now in my first year of university (with uncensored internet access, the school has dropped the filtering, simply because it didn't filter out port, but did filter out educational materials the school wanted. However, the three years i spend crusading against it and evading it were all for not. -Michael Roy umroyma0@cc.umanitoba.ca Winnipeg, Canada

• Make sure that it still looks good when you delete all <table> and related tags. A left-navigated (like PinEight.com) or right-navigated (like BSI's Everything2) two-column layout works nicely.
• Make sure that it still looks good when you remove the /images directory (or whatever your site uses for its graphics).
• Make sure it doesn't require ECMAScript (the language formerly known as Java®Script) or Java® applets.
• Most recent text browsers handle client-side imagemaps properly (given good alt= text) but there is a patch to make server-side image maps work on any browser.
  
  And most importantly:
• Test your work on as many browsers as you can find, even telnet to port 80 :-)
