How much of this money goes to actually educating the kids after the unions take their cuts, I don't know.
Link to unions taking their cuts? Why cite unions while neglecting the administration and school boards? When is the last time, if ever, have they seen the inside of a classroom?
But saying that Republicans "demand to have a first-rate educational system while not wanting to pay a [...] dime of taxes to support it", is simply not true.
It's a fair inference since today's Republicans are for "right to fire^Wwork" and for reduced taxes. A better statement would be that both parties are aiming to "reform" education, including the reduction in benefits for teachers and placing a partial burden of student test scores on teachers.
Throwing more money at the problem won't fix it.
Fix the families. Restore family values. Education and all other aspects of life will follow.
Ah, family values. You will need to be more specific, please. "Family values" is partisan code-speak.
No matter whether Sony should've kept this on an isolated network or they weren't really planning to do anything with the tracks, I expect them to portray this incident as evidence in support of legally locking down all digital media. I would not be surprised if the "look what can happen" card will be played with renewed vigor.
That's just the first layer. Now you also have names, perhaps also personal and social connections because you have a Facebook or similar account. It could be interesting for sociological studies and literally knowing who your audience is. The police state would be thrilled, too.
direct debiting your checking account waives the fee.
Certainly not universally, but perhaps it does with Verizon. Paying my rent via directing debiting of a checking account incurs something like a $2.99 "convenience fee." Too little information to say whether it's a small-volume issue, greed, or otherwise. yet, I can pay via hand-delivered paper check with no extra fees.
I wonder if it could be used for simulating consciousness. I mean, IBM's Watson is a machine with clever brute force implementation of language parsing and data retrieval. Quantum computing seems paradigm-shifting enough to effectively implement many Watson-type machines, perhaps.
It's the military having foresight, produence, and due diligence. Their main job is to defend us, and one of the major part of that is accessing new threats wherever they are.
If we were to find life on this planet, would you rather us to in completely blind about them?
I think you meant assessing, but the way things seem to work in the US, you would have been correct either way.
Nowadays, Google is great if you're looking for popular stuff like lolcats, memes, angry blogs, discussion forums full of questions and no answers, or corporate propaganda from the 10,000 websites owned by the 10 largest companies in the world.
But for anything else, you can search for days without finding the good stuff. Google is less useful to me at this point than IRC, because if you find someone who knows your topic area, you can find the expert-level sites from that person.
This is where sites like Wikipedia come in.
Recently I was trying to look up the city, states of multiple colleges. This task was a bit frustrating using Google search because I had to go to the schools' sites and navigate those to get to the desired information. In contrast, Wikipedia showed the information on the colleges' entry pages directly.
Perhaps, but the reality is that when applying for funding, the lack of first paper/proof-of-concept or even preliminary data can count against you. I'm more inclined to look at media sources as a source of misrepresentation and hyperbole.
I just updated to Firefox-7.0.1 on Ubuntu Lucid. Acid3 test gives it 100/100, yet fails in two ways:
1. red text "YOU SHOULD NOT SEE THIS AT ALL" in the upper left-hand corner 2. in the upper right-hand corner, a white "X" superposed on a magenta-colored box, with a narrower red box to its right.
If the SC kills the healthcare law, the Republican model will be considered dead for good, having been rejected by Clinton and now the Supremes. The elections would then very likely include a proposal from the Left in the form of single payer unless something else can be envisioned.
Currently it looks like a win-win for Obama et al.
Did NSF pay for just the computer proper? How much was allocated to the building itself, the cooling system, the land? I assume the land was given by the State of Illinois. I believe some of the fundage for the building and cooling was campus-bought -- but I'm not certain.
Just tried to poison my account info. The response was "We're sorry. This feature is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." It may be too late:/
Open-sourcing also prevents competitors, like AMD, from getting the benefit of said patents. With that, I assume Intel doesn't perceive any serious competition any time soon.
So it's okay for that scumbag to threaten the lives of seniors, of poor people, of veterans, of anyone by threatening to let the nation default which means the checks wont be sent out to them?
Maybe people should have thought about that before voting for these people.

...it will likely cost consumers more, i.e, the cost will be passed on to the consumer. I am completely unsurprised to hear of this.

The privatization of education isn't complete yet.

Good question. Dunno. BRB!
Just remember kids, before dumping someone, be sure to fill their account with illegal materials and lewd links!
I went straight to Ziebart!
No, its "Zie Bart, Zie"

Obama prides himself on his bipartisanship and shouldn't be expected to appear to outright disregard the interests of Big Business.
If the feds get a pass at this, then shouldn't Google get a pass over their prior wifi intercepting activities?

This is one area where linux prides itself. Since Microsoft is anti-linux, they generally impose their world view.
If I have a date with a girl in Istanbul, where will she be waiting?
With her racist friend.
Haven't you heard? She's with Particle Man now.

You may be referring to people who vote against their own economic interests, perhaps due to their being low-information voters or single-issue voters. Then there's also the assumption that the vote tallies are accurate (see e.g. http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/07/26/1238211/Court-Filing-On-How-2004-Ohio-Election-Hacked ).
