No, but as a smart kid you're already doing better than the dumb ones - you're going to get a degree without extra help on top of the regular schooling.
You'll notice from the article that the smart kids are _also_ improving, they're just not improving as much.
If you have to compromise (and with limited resources, you do), then you support the worst off, and try to bring them up to a basic level of competency - because the smart kids can help themselves.
I know that modern x86 chips convert into RISC-like instructions and then execute _them_ - if the chip only dealt with those instructions, how much more efficient would it be?
Let's have some honesty here. If we're going to have limits then let them be clear and open ones, where customers can make decisions about which limits they want, and how much they're prepared to pay for them.
Far better this approach than one which says "Eat what you like, so long as you're reasonable."
I'm completely unshocked

They may well build links between the internet and internet2, and ideas ill undoubtedly osmose across, but did people really expect internet2 to be rolled out to replace the internet? And if so, how did they expect it to happen?
The HD in my Tivo was constantly writing for four years before I sold it (barring the odd power-down to move the box). The HD in my cable box is currently doing likewise.
HDs can happily write constantly for extremely long periods of time.

Out of interest - where are you now? Are you doing significantly better than average? A little better? Or worse?
Not so. High grades tell you that you can do something. Whether someone else can also do something is irrelevant.
I'm not saying you shouldn't reward people for doing well - but giving them high grades is a reward by itself.

When you're simultaneously in a private space (your home) and a public one (possibly the most public space ever).
I'd like to know how a sphere is any more "exact" than a triangle. They're both arbitrary shapes that you're building other shapes out of...
Just because it's obvious to you, that doesn't mean that everyone knows it.
Hell - just because it's obvious to you, that doesn't mean it's true!

Anyone have any ideas?
Don't you wish something other than GWB had happened over the last eight years?

I'm failing to see why this is a shock.
Do these US senators expect Chinese hotels in the US to follow US law? If so, then why the shock?
Surely the problem with Pedophiles is that they _do_ think of the children?
Solar's down to a 5 year payback in some areas. It's vastly more efficient than it used to be.
I'm fairly sure the pedophiles aren't after _me_...

Of course, Firewire also does DMA - which is the source of the security hole which appeared on /. a couple of days ago.
ISP-based caches of legal content would solve this, surely?
Charge us for what we use.
And then compete on the price you sell us the bandwidth/quota for.
His problems are (a)they moved some stuff about and (b)Facebook has a broken IPv6 record.
Hardly the end of the world.
While I'm not planning to move to Vista in the near future, the daily "Vista is a failure!!!!" posts are getting just a little tiresome.
Everyone with a Yahoo ID has one. Everyone on Livejournal has one. Everyone on AOL has one.
So that's a fairly large number of people.
AOL are already working on XMPP:
