Maybe you can console yourself with the fact that you are not the only country in the Western world that does bad. The Netherlands has almost the worst education of the whole of Europe, our universities are chronically underfunded, and our gouverments are more interested in prestigious money-sucking useless projects than investing money in things that really matter, such as good healthcare, education, and innovation. I bet in ten years' time we can't even repair our own dykes and other waterworks anymore because no one knows how to do that.
THE WTC WAS TARGETED BECAUSE it was the ultimate icon that represented all that is wrong with the Western world, according to the muslims. Its height didn't have anything to do with that. Hadn't there been an attempt to blow the towers up before the plane attacks?
Just as Phoenix, Arizona is. Building cities in deserts is just not a good idea, and exploiting the environment to the absolute maximum it can take is bound to fail in the long run.
That's like saying Mr. Benz should have directly made a car that does 200 mph using only one teaspoon of sunflour oil every 1000 miles, is comfortable and cheap to run, never breaks down and is made of plants.
Maybe our Laura could go there. She would be the first teenager to sail the seas of Titan, which is much cooler than being the youngest kid to sail around Earth.
My reaction was exactly the same when I saw that website. Why should I willingly enter all my medical data on any webpage, let alone one that is run by Microsoft?
At the research group I worked for almost 6 years we were more or less required to read these books by Ad Lagendijk. His style is quite authoritive: you must do this, you must never do that, etc. I didn't read the book because of that. All of the things that are in the book I learned during the years I worked there. It's a pity that the tone of the book is a bit over the top because his tips are very good.
I totally agree with you. That is the reason why we should have Open Standards zealots. I know there are disadvantages to that, but interoperability is MUCH more important than the availability of source code.
Yes, thank God and Allah for those. I love them because you can hear the actual voices of the actors instead of some voiceover who doesn't sync with the mouth movements.
Isn't sueing Sony because you can't play a game because you're visually impaired the same as, say, sueing Warner Brothers because you can't watch the Harry Potter movies? You can't expect people, and especially corporations, to cater to every type of handicap in a single product.
Thanks! I had expected some desolate area with some small buildings on it, but apparently it's not that bad. The scientologists obviously don't want to make themselves too conspicuous by building what I had in mind.
I tried to find the compound on Google Maps, but Hemet is quite a big place so there's a lot of ground to search around it. You should be able to see the barbed wire in Satellite view. I couldn't find it though.

If Spyker buys Saab it will only be killed more slowly. Spyker's financial management team is not too competent IMO.

I have a 15" Macbook Pro, which makes me way ahead of my time.
Ignorance doesn't equal idiocy.
Yes! Sometimes you do things just to prove that you can. And landing on the moon was by far the coolest thing mankind has ever done.

If the EU had any balls they would have kicked Italy out long ago because of Berlusconi's behaviour.
I recently discovered that there are still lawyers working on Nipplegate.

THE journal for physical sciences is Phys. Rev., not Nature.

What does SCoN mean? Source Code Nazis?
I hope it can print heart valves. I am not an expert, but those look simple and printed heart valves can help a lot of people.
I think you mean cock testes.
Because I wasn't sure if it's 'sueing' or 'suing' or something else.
Yes, thank God and Allah for those. I love them because you can hear the actual voices of the actors instead of some voiceover who doesn't sync with the mouth movements.
Really? Cool, we don't have all that stuff here in NL.
You're right. They aren't called 'AbleGamers' for nothing, I guess.
