It's not only that. When adjusted to population size, India does very poorly, worse than China, Korea & Co. but also much worse that Russia and Romania.
As a former participant (from a small country, so it was easier to get in), I should note that IMO problems are not a good representation of general education in a country. They are very specific, wildly different from both high school and university mathematics. So success on the IMO is much more dependent on the individual's and the country's level of preparation for the specific event. IPhO, for example, is much more similar to the physics we learn at school, except the problems are more difficult.
You do raise an interesting point. As a broad-shouldered guy I never really considered that smaller people might like the normal keyboards. I guess you're right there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
You say you're not a great fan, but from my experience split keyboards really do wonders for your wrists. You don't have to bend your hands outwards for typing, just holding them naturally over the keyboard is perfect. I have a MS Natural Ergonomic 4000, simply because it's the cheapest split keyboard. You may want to buy a more expensive one, such as one of those that really detach into two separate parts, but the MS thing is already great.
I haven't used the others much, but here I must recommend KDevelop for its code browsing capabilities. I have worked on several big C++ projects (mostly small changes, not full-on refactoring), and it really helps you get into the code quickly. It doesn't have much in the way of refactoring tools that I would know of, but it's _great_ for looking at code.
So, if I get this right, 80% of the US Americans have at least 25MB/s download. This is not really that bad, I have a fiber connection but only subscribe to 20/20 (for 30eur/month) because it's good enough for pretty much anything. From the complaints I hear on Slashot I thought only Google offered more than something like 5MB/s.
But you also need a computer, for school, work, facebook, whatever else, everybody has one nowadays. So the choice is between a $800 computer vs a $400 computer plus $400 console.
Quite simply, it's less comfortable to wear. Considering how much you spend at work, even minor differences in comfort can be very important and well worth the salary difference.
The Exxon Valdez spill killed (from my quick search) an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 birds, about what this would kill in 10 years or so at mid-20k birds killed per year. So, build 10 of these plants (or larger with even more roasting capacity) and you have the equivalent (in bird deaths) of an Exxon Valdez oil spill each year. A wise sage once said "It's not easy being green."
The Exxon Valdez is something which should not have happened at all. Whereas this is a consequence of "normal operation".
This kind of thinking works out so well with nuclear.

I am extending the deal. Pray I don't extinguish it altogether.
(which they did, of course)
All projects are automatically over budget and late.
FTFY
Right after discovering the Force, too.

True, sorry about that, replace B with b everywhere.

It may compete with discrete GPUs in terms of showing pixels on the screen, but not in terms of keeping your knees warm.
But so does PHP. In this battle, whoever wins, we lose.
To not travel in time, you would have to raise the speed limit to c
Physicist'd that for you.

Nowadays quietly just means nobody "accidentally" lost one in a bar.
fps and consoles doesnt mix, pick one
Funny enough, this holds for both common gamer definitions of FPS.

Just like Samsung would never stop selling chips and screens to Apple. Oh wait.
(and by its speed, it looks like it runs on a laptop in a mother's basement)

Even though this is really a non-story, it's still much more interesting than Bitcoin.
Have you tried PlusFive, the link in my sig? It looks a lot like the old Slashdot interface.
In other words, it's ok to place this directly agains the wall, because the shape ensures it cannot be placed agains the wall. Well done.

You are off by one order of magnitude, it is 70 patents / worker / year.
