Hate to reply to myself but two clarifications: "We need to make stop" should read "We need to stop" and the $60-80K is obviously referring to starting salaries.
K-12 ain't gonna get fixed just by volunteerism or parent involvement, though that is a key piece of the puzzle for sure. Other things have to happen. 1. We need to once again put value on achievement. This means that schools have to be very selective about who they admit with a range of school from schools for dolts to schools for bright people. We should not be afraid to make kids feel bad, indeed it's the opposite: we should scold and belittle kids for every underachievement, so they know for sure that the only way to be is the best. We need to be like India where failing an exam can lead to suicide - THAT is healthy attitude, THAT is competing. 2. We need to make stop school litigation. It is too easy for a kid to claim abuse from teacher and it takes too long to show that kids lie. It is very disruptive to teachers when they know they can get accused any moment of any infraction with no proof besides the word of a student and suddenly they are on paid (or unpaid) leave. 3. We need to pay teachers more. My guess is you are not gonna get really bright people to teach in school for less that $60-80K a year (depending on location).
Incidentally, my proposal on how to get parents involved in their kids' education is to fine the parents for every infraction a kid makes including being absent from class. The state has an obligation to provide kids with an opportunity to get educated bu any interference with school operation is in essence just waste of government money and the feds should be able to collect that just as they would try to recover money that someone misappropriated. Once parents see their fines reach triple digits or more you'll see a groundswell of parental involvement.
Electrons carry both charge and spin. They can tunnel. Spin is a property not a particle, hence your question makes no sense (even RVB diehards who argue for spin-charge separation in some materials will assign spin to some quasiparticle, a "spinon", and even in those cases tunneling is reserved for electrons). Your question is a bit like: "what does blue taste like?"
TI calcs are great and you can do RPN on them if you install the software for that. However I think that TI can be beat pretty easily. Their stuff is huge, bulky, unwieldy, and heavy. Formfactor-wise, you are almost better off buying one of those tiny japanese subnotebooks and installing Matlab on it, or Mathematica, or both. If HP wants to get in on the calc biz, all they have to do is duplicate top of the line TI functionality with a TI-85 width and length but half of TI-85 thickness. I'd pay $200 easy for that.
Sounds like a Besocke (aka beetle) design. Do you have a paper on your vision of a maglev setup? I must say, 0.01 Hz sounds neat. A typical microscope stage will probably be small enough that anything below 1 Hz should not affect it, but if you can get even a decade attenuation at 5 Hz then it would be notable.
Cool. So you want to do vibrational sprectoscopy on organics (d^2 I/ dV^2), a technique pioneered by Wilson Ho on simpler stuff. We use his microscope design and it works well. I assume it would work for what you are trying to do. It is a simple spring suspension though. I still wonder what maglev buys you. Is there any theoretical reason to expect better performance from that vs. springs.
Getting a Ph.D. this summer (hopefully). cond-mat/0402320 Does your lab have money? There are these guys like minus-k which give you "1/2 Hz in a box" for mucho dinero. What's unprecedented (sic) resolution? As far as I know, anything on silicon is cake. You can do VTSTM, moleclar imaging and spectroscopy and all that with no issues. A friend of my is now a professor at Northwestern http://www.hersam-group.northwestern .edu/ though I am sure you are well aware of his work.
Lethbridge, eh? I am in Urbana IL doing VTSTM on high T_c. Just curious, do you really get to 10^-12? Most people would say that even 10^-10 is UHV. Also, why maglev? Most people went away from that because it is apparently a bitch to get working and doesn't buy you anyhting over springs.

Well, looks like this stuff is 4 times worse than water at grabbing heat from your processor... unless your processor gets to ~50 C, at which point this will become very good at cooling via evaporation. Looks good for a closed cycle radiator type cooler.
Buying a card XP autodetects is great advice, expecially for a network card which can be had for $10 or less. His consulting time is probably circa $50/hr so if it takes him 12 minutes to install a driver (including the time to find the CD amidst all the clutter) then it is already worth it not dealing with this issue. And it makes future reinstalls of XP easier, further saving money and/or time.
Well, I consider myself more or less clueful but how am I supposed to know if that Yahoo store is legit. So my strategy is to only buy from places with long history and well-established reps and their own domains like Newegg, amazon, holiday inn etc. Also, always pay with money order on auction sites like e-bay and only buy from high-ranked sellers (though it doesn't save you from some frauds). Basically, try to whitelist who you deal with financially over the internet. And like someone pointed out, use only your bank's ATMs whose locations are specified in you bank's brochure or ATMs located physically inside a bank and branded by that bank. Never use your credit card abroad except to withdraw money from a reputable bank like Citi (for US people).

It is unfortunate they slapped a "Funny" on me because

I thought Irfanview was initially an offshoot of GQView.
I don't get it.
This is what you get when the country turns into a
