So you think that "education" is limited to learning facts, and completely unrelated to anything social? I beg to differ. Talk to any anti-social home-schooled brat, and you'll quickly find that they know 10x as much as a public school product.
In the public school system, you learn to stand up for yourself, interact with peers in the back corner of the playground without getting your teeth knocked out (too many times), and somehow managed to learn a small amount of reading, writing, and 'rithmetic in your 13 years.
I know I could make little Einsteins out of my kids by keeping them sheltered from the world's bullies and home schooling them, but I'd be afraid they would turn into the whiney little anti-social weirdoes that know everything, but can't communicate to save their lives.
Education is one of the broadest words in the English language. Please don't limit it to spelling bees and knowledge bowl quizzes.
My wife and I had considered this--if it wasn't for the $2000 down payment and the $100/year fee beyond that, we probably would have signed up yesterday. It actually involves harvesting stem cells from the umbilical cord blood.
It is a religious propaganda campaign--I think teaching Intelligent Design in schools is an amusing backlash to teaching Evolution as a theory of origin.
Evolution is a scientific explanation of "survival of the fittest". Everyone (including Creationists) understands that living things adapt to their surroundings. Our schools have taken this rational viewpoint of evolution, and blown it up to a religious propaganda campaign for Evolution as a theory of origin.
I don't believe the science department of any school should be teaching about any belief of origin ("theory" is the wrong word for something that is unobserved, untested, and untestable), including Evolution.
Except for the fact that most hybrids achieve that extra 10% to 40% efficiency in town by shutting the gas engine down while motion is stopped. Diesels don't like that!
As a hardware engineer, I spend a good part of my time on the computer (schematics, layout, etc.) as well as in the lab (soldering, starting fires, etc.).
Over the past few years, I tend towards web development as a hobby when I'm doing lab work at work, and electronic tinkering when I spend too much time in front of the screen at work!
Of course, lately I've had a greater interest in carpentry simply because of my failing health from inhaling solder fumes and being radiated by CRTs!
As a hardware engineer, I'm more than familiar with the instruction, "build it well first time around, build it cheap the second".
Often times v2.0+ is just a moneymaker, with the only "improvements" being made in revenue for the company. The cross-reference market is thriving like never before!
And you'd wake up tired, irritable, and cranky, seeing as you only had 3 hours of sleep!
True, your body needs that time to repair all the routine daily damage--it would be just like getting 3 hours a night, and eventually you'd start falling apart!
The ashes are on a one way trip. The letter ain't.
So $5,300 x 2 = $20k?
If only NASA ran an airline--then I could buy my one-way ticket home for 1/4 of the price instead of purchasing the (currently cheaper) round trip ticket.
Next, we'll see a bunch of Midwestern farmers clamor to get the government to buy up their grain and dump it on Iraq...
Uhhh, I think Australia is gonna beat us to it.
The donations include $60 million from the United States, $565,000 from New Zealand, $1.6 million from Spain, $12.7 million from Britain and $6.46 million from Germany.
Australia has donated 100 tons of wheat.

Maybe it's $200k per hour, kinda like they are generating electricity for 5 or 6 cents per kilowatt (instead of kilowatt hour).
We really have to work on our units here, people!

Or you can harness the power of the Sun for a nice prism effect...
..note that the pattern should look something like this.
Just because you want to buy, doesn't mean the other guys want to sell.
Anything can be bought...for the right price.

I love the way they just waited till a big name like IBM decided to start using Linux. Why bother if there isn't anyone to sue?

...or speak at a football game...
That might not be the best choice of venue in this case...
"Michigan Tech will eliminate its varsity football program effective immediately it was announced today by MTU athletics director Rick Yeo."
