Too bad you posted AC. I'm afraid you'll need to cite your evidence that socialized medicine doesn't work. Please don't cite from FOX or Murdock's NewsCorp empire either. The WHO ranks France and Spain well ahead of the United States in healthcare and most of western Europe as well. It would appear that societies that choose to care about their people are indeed making it work without breaking the bank. It's not about being a money tree, it's about investing in and caring for your population.
I propose letting this scale of common animal or human/dolphin intelligence be developed much the same way our NCLB tests have been developed. Let under-educated politicians dictate what the scale is and what is an indicator of intelligence and then let psychometricians and research scientists determine how to measure that.
You could be right--I'm actually talking about the lag in software/interpretation of the brainwaves to letters. I could be wrong of course. I'll stop speculating on something I know nothing about.:-P
No dude. I think of what I want to say and let the fingers go... if this research works like eye-tracker software, it take a while for it recognize where and concentrate on it, there's more lag in the software than my brain processing and telling my fingers what to do--all anecdotal of course, lol, so I've no evidence.
If I have to think about the letters one at a time, I'll be able to type faster than this will work still. Be true to myself, I didn't bother to RTA or the summary either much.
I find it incredibly ironic that this is marked as insightful. Too bad there isn't a mod for ironic. Being all by yourself is pretty much tantamount to being stuck in a basement by yourself. Hope you're happy as a clam.
Because local politicians will be less corrupt? Seriously? No more accountable or responsive in my experience so far. Hope you've had better luck. The less central government just lets corporations and the wealthy elite abuse people more--it's completely illogical to to strip power from the a check on wealthy and powerful. We need to outlaw direct campaign contributions or at least reform that greatly. Ideally, we could create some sort of motive for saving the people money and bringing measurable results.
so,... I get the protest against corporate and mainstream music (Simon Cowell's empire). Could the guy have at least found an obscure holiday tune? Heck I'd have just as pleased with BNL's Hannukah song.
How the fsck do people not know about this program or not consider it research? My wife (not a technically adept person) has run this program for years and in schools, too. Ask the guy to uninstall it if it costs to much in a recession (he had approval of the previous administration to run it though!). Don't fire him because you're stupid.
If the authors mean by literacy the ability to read, rather than express oneself, I can see how this would be true. Technology alone, as of yet, does not have an adequate means for providing feedback on written communication. I work in part on an automated essay evaluator, and getting a computer to provide meaningful and contextualized feedback is extremely difficult.
A case in point that contradicts what you say is found in the Christopher McDougall book "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen." Very long-lived and low disease in a near-primitive society.
I'm assuming you are from the US and writing from those experiences (if I'm mistaken, my apologies).
The right to free speech does incur financial burden. My home town had to pay to provide police protection for a KKK demonstration. As a small town, we had to pay other police departments to come in and protect them. We as a society bare the cost of all of us exercising free speech--you don't get to cherry pick.
We as a society have determined that clothing and feeding and shelter are fundamental rights which are our societal moral imperative. We also provide emergency healthcare in the event that someone does do something stupid, or God forbid, they have an accident. You may not wish to pay for others to not starve to death or help them out if insurance denied coverage and they had an accident, but thankfully we as a collective have decided that you aren't a decision maker.
Slashdot Mirror
And yet Slashdot is now talking about him. Yeah.
we are using technology effectively in education now? Most of what I've seen is the adaption of old tools and methods with very little new.
...told us all this a long time ago.

I'm pretty sure the death penalty is a bit more severe.
Ludicrous Gibs! Taco, I got your ass again!

those regulation paid for by whom again?
I thought global warming wasn't happening?

Except for the fact that she left her bag where the security officers *told* her to put it.
makes you wonder what financial connections NY Times has to the games publishers or the nice and naughty lists...
Definitely Ba'al. Best villain on SG by far... or at least most annoying for sticking around.
Not only does the lady who fired the guy demonstrate how ignorant she is, the reporters demonstrate astounding ignorance too: http://www.fox5vegas.com/video/21785181/index.html
