To have a secret algorithm is a bit untrustworthy! Would you trust your secrets to a secret Chinese algorithm? It might be good but clearly the Chinese can break it.
Starting with the basics is a good idea. One does not immediately jump into algebraic number theory if one is learning mathematics. One learns to add and subtract first. Nothing special. The concepts are still useful even in the days of RSA encryption. Quantum cryptanalysis will not even change that.
What about some (hypothetical) studies that show different performances in mathematics between some men and other men? What then would one base the claim of difference on? Left brain, versus right brain functions? I.e., Some men perform math differently too. Does that indicate anything? My whole point is that I think that differences between men and women are not much greater than the differences between individuals of the same sex. The stupid Harvard president is just to dim to perceive that so he has to categorize things in order to understand them. Black and white being the only possible categories for him.

Looks great to me. I'd like tires that last for over 100,000 miles.

If you don't mind being an illiterate Chinese speaker. Knowing pinyin helps with Chinese writing. I feel in Chinese you have to learn two languages - the written and the spoken. Pinyin helps with this.
I would have to say... What is wrong with Solaris 8 What is wrong with Solaris 10 What is wrong with UnixWare What is wrong with Redhat 8 Linux What is wrong with Fedora Core 2 What is wrong with Slackware 10
I cannot really way what is wrong with UNIX as it is hard to separate out what is UNIX from what is version XXX of a UNIX-like OS. Some of the things wrong with UNIX might also be what is wrong with Windows too.
I can usually say, I like some feature of XXX version of a UNIX-like OS better than the implementation of the same in YYY version.
How much of UNIX design is dependent on the underlying hardware architecture? 8 bit byte oriented computers. What would out UNIX be like if we had tri-state logic computers? What if we never had disk drives but had vast arrays of memory to use instead? How does the interaction with the disk controlller influence the UNIX design? The UNIX computers I started working with had ASCII terminals to control them. How much did that influence the design?
Does anyone or can anyone put the known data into a Celestia importable file format so the ignorant among us can view this possible event?? (Speaking of myself.)

If you remove the word "illegal" the article becomes more accurate. Note the East German like "rewarded a number of informers". It is time for their Berlin^h^h^h^h^h^h Firewall to come down!

I cannot believe you did not go to an attorney. Plus have you ever heard of an SS-8 form? You can fill it out yourself and force him to pay your taxes.
I did contracting for 9 years. I liked it but did not have the dicipline to pay the taxes. Your social security is 2* everyone elses. That stinks. I also could not afford insurance but was covered under my wife's plan. That was good. The company I was contracting with eventually got rid of my job because they decided that contractors were bad to have (Microsoft being sued by independent contractors for benefits, etc). They might have offered me full time but I did not like the 40+ hour week stuff.

Take nothing: Assume nothing, go naked, go native - make sure you learn to speak and write Chinese too

And we know from the picture that dogs live there.
