Again, not quite. Some social sciences (economics, political science) are split between Word and LaTeX. Not surprisingly, the more technical the work, the more likely LaTeX will be used.
Actually, all the social sciences are great fields for people with good quantitative/analytical skills. Political science is far more technical than most people realize (and every bit as much so as economics), and sociology, psychology, anthropology (physical, not cultural), geography, etc. are all fields in which people with good skill sets will be well-positioned to get ahead. Plus (unlike contemporary economics), those fields are actually interesting...
Not sure the all-aluminum thing is an improvement; there are plenty of forum postings out there noting that MBPs have worse WiFi reception than standard MBs, and blaming it on the aluminum. (I've found the same thing to be true on my machines as well.)
"McCain is not the stranger to technology some think him to be."
Can't possibly be true. By letting this get out, he has destroyed *any* credibility that *anyone* who posts anything positive about him anywhere might have had -- everyone will now assume that such comments are just shilling for the campaign. Nice move.

Huh?
No. LaTeX has a strong (and growing) following in most social sciences, particularly among people doing more technical work.

Hear, hear. Great little machines. Though, I'd still get an Eee (and, in fact, I did...).
Because a Dell Vostro and 8,000 feet of tire chain will anchor the QE2, that's why...
The question is not whether or not the law is enforceable.
The question is whether this bill will help Rep. Couch get reelected in his little corner of Kentucky come November.
(I'd bet $0.11 it does).
2008 is an election year. Expect to see a lot more of this sort of thing, coming soon to a legislature near you.
