The problem with education is that it has no consumers/customers to be beholden to.
The closest thing you have is parents, but they are not there experiencing the output. The people paying is everyone (and will always be if it's kept tax-payer funded).
Parents can be flat-out wrong, children don't know any better, and society without children has a strong short-medium term incentive to not fund it.
The fact that there is no consumer makes me think the government should be handling it, but the US and US State governments have a terrible track-record. It's be nice if we could outsource it to somewhere else.
Investing in security will lead to increased rates too.
The bank with the least expensive methods (pay after the fact vs invest up front) will have lower rates and more customers.
It's in both consumers, and banks best interests for the banks to keep things inexpensive. And why aren't the banks charging the maximum they can anyway? Wouldn't they be better off charging the higher rates the whole time? or is there actually competitive pressure keeping rates down?
My guess is they lose half the nation (by population) if they approve creationism (with a quarter supporting the change, and a quarter not caring). There is a risk to losing their power by being crazy.
I'd love to see the textbook power shift to CA, as they are supporting open textbooks, which could save the education system billions/year. In both royalties, and the ability to use paperless solutions.
Unfortunatly they have, as it was a good way to avoid name conflicts (generic names are a problem in general I think actually, causing issues like this).
Imagine my surprise when Gwenview was KDE and not Gnome.
Bluetooth, as a standard, has a trackrecord of support and working devices. NFC doesn't appear to have universal supprt even in Android smartphones, BT does.
The students that fucked up as teenagers were a lot less likely to be there (I don't know many people that ODed in high-school that made it to college).
The people able to have fun, and stay on track, continued to. The ones that could not stay on track were not there, or cut lose as soon as they could do to lack of supervision.
The upbringing didn't cause a problem, it hid one until a few years later (studies show parents can do very little to alter their childrens' behavior short of significantly fucking them up).
I agree, the playground I used to go to removed the see saws (though they left the pipe they were on behind, I assume as a very dangerous balance beam (it was when I tried it anyway). The money bars were gone too, which was a shame, as they were adult sized.
Though a playground by where I live now has all sorts of things I can only describe as spinning at an angle. It allows a gentle rocking motion to build up massive amounts of speed, and there is very low friction. i wish we had them when i was younger (and am happy to visit when friends with children come by).
You missed the part where you over-run the cost by a factor of 2-3 (thought the slightly higher bid was by a company with integrity that wouldn't of done such).

Monopolies are legal in the US.
You need to demonstrate their strong-arming or abuse, or the harm to the consumer.
The fact that we got easy access to a new search engine recently demonstrates that the consumer isn't harmed.

It's never happened, it takes longer than the life of the universe (literally).
Not vacation, but learning and growth.
I know many that do exchanges to first world for the same reason.
I'd suggest mega video
Maybe because it isn't purely philanthropic?
Heavan forbid one helps themself while hhelping others.
bill gates is not new wealth?

Isn't it less cynical if it is about actual educational value?

At current rates of population it doesn't look like TX will ever hit CA, and at economy it will be decades.
I'm not quite sure what your point is? I should also clarify it was a hope, doesn't mean it will happen.
My guess is they may fear becoming irrelevant.

Try ubuntu one.
Honestly, I'd rather see BT4 than NFC.
Bluetooth, as a standard, has a trackrecord of support and working devices. NFC doesn't appear to have universal supprt even in Android smartphones, BT does.
When I was in elementary and middle school we'd climb, jump, and eat off of this http://www.flickr.com/photos/neurology/946532720/, now it's fenced off.
If your group is college though it's skewed.

It's a lot easier to charge me money on the phone (sms), fortunately that is a different permission.
As is data access (though a lot need sd card access for cache I assume)
Didn't they drop the x120?
True that, the Cursed GTK looks useful, and is what I expected.
I've just been corrected, it was supposed to be wouldn't've
I suppose it was wouldn't 'ave, but that looks terrible

I think they rebuilt it uses French documents, rather than stole the machine.
Yeah, I agree about the adds.
It was like, WTF, this sucks so bad they can't show you what's so amazing?
