In this case it's more like:
In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the trolls, the memes and the forces of Microsoft. She is root.
Planets are always fun to look at, for instance if you have decent optics you should be able to make out some of the colouration on Jupiter as well as some of the moons. The moon is also a good place to look, you should be able to see interesting shadows on the craters or if you have a half moon look that the line between light and dark you can get some interesting contrast there.
From a Physicist's point of view, who ever publishes their paper about finding the Higgs first is going to be the one who is remembered an the one who would be a good candidate for a noble prize. Also the Fermilab physicists think that if they can find the Higgs they could get more funding for continued operation of the Tevatron.
Potentially but the majority of it would probably have decayed by now potentially to a level causing it to be hard to detect from the background radiation. Of course if it didn't happen this way there would be nothing to detect.
instead of a dumbing down I would say that there is more of a split happening between the people in advanced courses and those in the lower level courses. those in the lower courses are not being taught as well and like you said basic concepts are being removed but those in the higher level courses I think are being taught more advanced concepts than previously at that level and age. The standardized tests however must be able to access the whole range of people taking the test so they must be made easier because if the people with the lower training in math got all 0's on the test it would not show at all what they learned, in their own basic way.
no patents for major corporations should be abolished not ones for small inventors, if they aren't protected the major corporations will just steal the person's idea (which could be the only thing that could keep his family fed) for a percentage increase in their stock value
What the real problem is is the view in our society that monetary value is the ultimate achievement, that piece of paper with the number on it or the number in your bank account has no more real value than the ASCII code of the song you download. In theroy a random number generator could produce any of the songs that are downloaded. Would that still be considered stealing, to randomly create a code that is translated into the song? No matter how you want to place a value on an object (be it money or materials or work done) it is easy to say that for a real object, but ideas should be free flowing because if everyone adds something to that idea then they will all have paid for it.

Can't we just comment out step 4. Then we an remove MPAA as a variable saving on memory allocation.
I wish I could mod you up for that

No NASA should respond with "Yes it's real and we need $1 trillion in funding to determine how to stop it" and then spend that on real research.

The parents and everyone who pays taxes pay for the students to learn.

Ya but that's exactly what we will get.
They also killed Firefly
only if he did it on a Virgin Galactic spacecraft
That's why you don't send anyone named Dave on deep space journeys

at least there are some people (who have lots of money) left in this country who care about science

what won't they compress

well maybe when Virgin Galactic starts going to the moon NASA can just hitch a ride
