It is off course good that people finally recognize that pupils are different. For example, dyslectic people often have a good visual insight. So they would learn mathematics much easier if it was brought as Greek mathematics (drawing lines, squares, etc.) instead of as Arabic mathematics (i.e., in formulas). But I never met a mathematics teacher with such an insight.
To quote Scotty: "You cannot change the law of physics!". It would be a sad day we would have to explain to later generations that we missed a launch window because of a childish fight of some politicians.
Both the democrats and the republicans, I think. Or did anyone from the Pirate party, the Greens, the Tea party or anything ever stand a chance? The indirect voting system ensures that only the bought parties matter.
That is why the rats are kept in cages. But I wonder what happens if you apply a strong odour (for rats) to your site. Could mint oil be sufficient to render the rats useless?
YES. And then have a corrupt taxation authority, like in the Netherlands, that you can make "special deals" with. This guarantees that you will not suffer from competition by pesky small companies.
Well, if you change enough about it, you will also have to get a type safety permit for it (at least on this side of the Pond). This includes submitting another item for the crash test. So apart from legal issues with the manufacturer, you may have issues with your government.
This has been going on for as long as the economy has been modelled in mainly financial terms. Look up the Enclosure, for example. Many common grounds were taken away, so people had to buy food and no longer had a chance to grow their own. Economically, swapping is good. Financially, it means less profit.
Do not confuse with "Whopperchild". Actually, "mannequin" IS a sexist word. It is the Dutch word "manneken" (= little man) as pronounced by the French. At that point in history, they did not use starving women to show clothes.
Wait until the demand rises, and the price will also rise.
Until the availability dries out, price will be cheap enough. Did the price of an Indian programmer rise enough to stop outsourcing? When demand rises, availability will rise as well.
Apart from that, I can clearly remember my aeronautical teacher to explain that in the USA, the aeronautical engineers were called "homeless", because, due to the liberal laws, any talented designer would just get kicked out of the company as soon as a project was finished. Because of this, demand was hardly enough to support the local talent.
(lovemaking) economics, how does it work?
Economics ("household science") would seriously consider the effects of business decisions on employment, education and other needs of society. Finance only counts the virtual beans. Please don't mix those two things up. Especially nowadays, the two have nothing in common anymore.
When I read the parental control section, it scared the shit out of me. Are we learning our kids today that total surveillance is good? That Big Brother is part of the family? I would rather have that parents pry the device from their children's hands and lock it away instead of conditioning them to be monitored always.
More real local jobs again, real science, real data and real costs.
Why is that? people from India are at least as smart an those from the USA, but a lot cheaper. And Russians can read their own theory (theory of space travel was largely developed by Russians, the practical problems were largely solved by the Germans) for a fraction of the price it takes for an American to do it. If programming is outsourced, why not rocket science? It's not exactly speculative finance, you know.
No more slowing a science or an imaging project due to politics, an epic boondoggle or hidden costs:)
Like in digital publishing you mean? That is even more boring than rocket science, but to say that "private sector"=="no politics" is simply not true.
And off course there is another thing. If you can launch anything into space, it will be abused before you know it. A satellite launching missile can easily be abused as an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Or you could orbit GPS jammers, targeted lasers, guided solar mirrors, chaffs of debris to disable other satellites, or any other stuff you know from James Bond villains. Do you really think politicians will stay out of that?

but a (brave) new world of telemarketing and call center support jobs have opened up
In other words: Tech kills people!

Given that mine is switched off now for more than 15 years, I think it is.
Sovjet? We have a king, you insensitive clod!

And spend more on cooling
The only conclusion I can draw from today's news is: terrorists don't read ads.
And yet there is a better political system: that of Bugarup.
Government officials in Bugarup are elected by the people and then put into prison to save time.
One can only hope the current system evolves into that.
[citation needed]. Oh, and off course you can totally counter such a threat by industrial espionage.

The next version of Gnome will only support the StupidaMouse as a pointing device.

Off course not. It's "the Lady".
I think he wants to bring some good news before bombing yet another middle-east country.

Wait. The NASDAQ is a huge gambling institute where you can gamble with other people's money, right? What reliability are you speaking of?
According to the rulings, suing Cisco would be like suing Xerox for copyright infringement.
Or Napster for copyright infringment. Or the Pirate Bay. Or.... Somehow judges have no difficulty at all with such a reasoning.
Or the other way around. I remember that the mirror of the space telescope was placed awfully exact 1" wrong. I don't remember who did that, though.
I suppose you mean humanure. See the Humanure Handbook. Not exactly rocket science, and it is widely tested on earth.
