I would probably try to immigrate overseas or if that wouldnt work, I would just become a burnt out alcoholic the rest of my life and live in a trailer park.
The baby boomers would be taken care of if politicians never drew from the pot. There should have been surplus from their generation paying into it, since their generation dwarfed previous ones, and generations since in numbers. Not to mention the US census should have tipped the politicians off that there is a swell in population during a particular set of years and left them overwhelmingly concerned that they need to make plans to accommodate this population swell. Basically, politicians pay little attention to statistics or logic, and instead look at the best way to get their pockets lined with another layer of gold.
They also were sold on the programs by promises of retirement, not to mention they paid into it their whole lives. Its the idiots in Washington that screwed up the Social Security program by giving out SS money to people that don't deserve it (like career welfare people) and reappropriating portions of it to pay for other programs it was never meant for.
Though our military spending is ridiculous, so is the amount we spend on faulty social programs. When a person can pop out babies, does not have a job, but walks around with a real Louis Vuitton bag and a bunch of jewelry there is a problem. Furthermore, when illegal immigrants can come here, gain the benefit of our social programs, and not pay taxes, there is another problem. I see both of these occur alot down here in the South. I know you might say Im being racist, but I am not racist at all. I don't have any problem with anyone of any race that 1. works for a living, and 2. pays taxes.
No. Everyone knows the Republicans screwed up, but they also know the Democrats arent doing anything to remedy the situation, so now they are voting Republicans back in since there are no other feasible alternatives. Such is the problem with having ONLY 2 political parties.
We are not recovering under Obama. The health care bill was a bad, bad move as were many of the things he endorsed. The United States government spending is absolutely out of hand, and Obama is doing nothing to prevent it. Then again, nobody is really doing anything to prevent it. How can you justify increasing government spending with a health care bill during a period when we are running record budget deficits and record levels of debt? Its absolutely unsustainable. In 10 years the interest on our current debt alone will be 1 trillion dollars. They also estimate that whereas baby boomers get about 83 cents per dollar on their income to spend as they see fit, we will be getting about 73 cents per dollar. Basically, Bush started it all with his obvious money grubbing wars (trying to put tax payer money into the hands of the wealthy) and then the Democrats (and by extension Obama) are not helping because now they are instituting new social programs in a period where we cannot pay for them. Everybody is already hurting from the recession, you cannot tax them more unless you are willing to significantly increase taxes on the very wealthy, but no one is willing to do that, not even the Democrats because they are just as corrupt as the Republicans. Not to mention you cannot tax the very wealth too much, or they will just move overseas. Yet another reason the health care bill is a stupid idea, as it requires increasing taxes for somebody, so you either risk losing the wealth in your country or risk hurting the very people you are trying to help.
It makes a feature vector of the text in its entirety, then computes the "distance" between any two vectors. This distance is computed in some large dimensional space I believe not necessarily using a Euclidean metric. If the "distance" is below some threshold the papers are suspect Id imagine.
Its considered unethical by the majority of scientists to recycle papers unless there is a significant update from one to the next, i.e., methods changed, or additional steps are taken which improve the results. It is not considered unethical to have your paper resubmitted to a different conference or journal if it was rejected from another however.
That makes sense. So it constructs a feature vector for each text and computes their distances relative to eachother. If there is a distance below some threshold then the papers are suspect.
There are approximately 120,000 words in the English language. Most high school students only know probably a third of that at most. So 40,000. Its not hard to imagine across 1000 documents that there would be a pretty high chance 5 words would match in a sequence especially since there exists grammar as well as common ways of expressing things such as "had been taken to heart".
What because their Chi is superior to ours? The Chinese are no better than anyone else, they just have no respect for their workers and have a totalitarian government. You also have to remember that they have had more revolutions, both Dynastic and political than most other countries in the world.
There are alternative sources for rare earth metals. The Chinese would be shooting themselves in the foot as they seem to be burning bridges everywhere these days.
You're simply an idiot with an obvious anti-American bias. There was the Revolutionary war, the Mexican-American war, there was Pearl Harbor, Native American wars, ect. The US didn't exist before 1776 so we didnt go through the entire Medieval and later European wars, not to mention the US is isolated from Europe anyway. You may as well talk about wars on Australian soil and bash them for not having as many as Europe. The US as a whole does not glorify war, and its not the only country with a subset of people that do glorify war. Get off your high horse and stop being such a douche.
Capitalism let run rampant does not respect the work force because people are inherently motivated by selfish means. If you are upper management, why keep a long term skilled employee that requires double the pay of an equally educated (not experienced) young person when you can jack your salary up to more than you deserve? You will never have a work force with guaranteed work, respect for experience/skill, and fair pay unless you have A) A working Communism (possible, but not probable) B) A United States monopoly on industry or a commodity such as Oil or C) A highly educated, healthy work force capable of understanding larger or more abstract concepts when voting, and also capable of utilizing legal means of pressuring their government for favorable legislation. I may be leaving some things out, but all three of the things I mentioned we do not have in the United States. We have virtually no health care even with Obama's stupid health bill unless you have a good job or are well off. Its so bad you may as well take out a life insurance policy and die since the alternative is to leave your family in debt. We also have one of the shittiest education systems in the developed world, and tons of high school drop-outs getting pregnant or getting others pregnant through their own irresponsibility, and bleeding our government treasuries dry through welfare programs. To top it off, we have some of the most ridiculously biased one-item voters voting our politicians into office time and time again when these politicians spend more money than the US government even collects in taxes. It doesn't matter who you vote for anymore, most politicians today are fiscally irresponsible. Overall, our country is f***ed unless we have a minor political revolution, i.e. get most of the senators and representative out and replace them with some fresh blood from the pool of educated, average working class Americans.
Pretty sure we produce enough corn in the US to feed all of us. We may have to resort to peasant diets, but I don't think the world is doomed. Not to mention, once the fish are gone from the sea someone will try to farm them. Its a sad sad thing, but the only way to fix it is to stop breeding, which people seem to not want to do.

You could argue Clinton inherited it from Bush Sr.

College students are being offered what a person could have made with less than a high school education in the 1970's if you account for inflation.
There shouldn't even be only two political parties. Its kept this way by both halves to prevent anything good actually being done.
Amen.

They probably are using some code owned by that institute to save time writing it themselves.
