The supply is higher then the demand for open jobs, so they give tough courses to limit the number of grads. (And degrees that don't weed-out students, like English, end up with a lot of degreed students working at Mickey D's.)
I'll bet those English majors wouldn't have used "then" in place of "than.";-)
9 years ago, a great deal of military technology went from lab to massive scale rather quickly for new bombs to wreak havoc in cave strongholds. Why is BP or some other interested party with deep pockets unable to do the same here?
We have an existing crisis and a potential solution. Somebody pony up the cash and start producing this. Its a risk, but if effective there is a great deal of profit to be made in the event of another oil spill.
The best book I've encountered on UI design is an ancient tome entitled "Principles and Guidelines in Software User Interface Design" by Deborah J. Mayhew. Search for it on Amazon; looks like there are 30 used copies. This was used as the text for my GUI design class in college. Very enlightening, even though I HATE writing GUIs.
The movie (or the short story, take your pick), though I'm sure Joss doesn't mind the kind he can take to the bank. The key difference being the main character in Paycheck was a mercenary who voluntarily had his mind wiped.
Many of Philip K. Dick's ideas are being adapted into film these days. Are we that cynical about the future?
Unfortunately we are likely to see neither sense nor principle from the Democrats on this issue Anyone who ever expects either sense or principle from a politician of the Democratic Party is a fool.
As fashionable as it is these days to rip on "Big-box" retailers, I've generally had great customer service from them. While it seems price differentiation is vanishing between large and small shops, the economies of scale involved in accepting returns may be a huge asset to large and very large retailers.
Jack Thompson is the greatest form of Astroturfing ever invented. Game companies hire Jack Thompson to publically denounce or sue them to generate publicity.
A plethora of studies on DDT have shown that it is harmful to neither humans nor animals. The evidence presented to the head of the EPA was ignored when the DDT ban was signed.
DDT could have saved millions of lives and could save millions more, yet environmental activists armed with emotion and propaganda forbit it.
3. Stockholders in said businesses want more and more money so the businesses can't afford to take personal responsibility for the things they do to people
If you have a 401k or a pension plan you are a stockholder.
4. The majority of all politicians in the United States government is unabashedly comprised of stockholders and they make the laws Most Americans are "unabashedly" stockholders.
You are morally responsible for eating too much fast food, not the people who sold it to you. Take responsibility for your own actions. Stop being a douche.
Most of this I think it b/c of the attitude that knowing stuff like that is "uncool". People would rather stay stupid than actually try to learn how to do something because if they actually knew how others mights think down of them.
It has more to do with people not caring enough to learn the technology. Why is it that every one thinks their area of expertise is of the utmost importance? People specialize in knowledge because there is too much of it out there for everyone to have it all. A good user interface makes things easy. That's why people who can't program a VCR love Tivo.
Incidently, there was an attempt at such an interface for VCRs called VCR+. VCR+ was itself rather difficult to set up, but once set correctly would allow you to specify shows to record very easily.
Pornography has always been a huge business, and they have always been on the bleeding edge of technology. Look at the internet. Long before their was the World Wide Web there were dial-in BBS's where people could download pornography. When VCRs came out, pornography was almost immediately available on video cassettes. The pornography business' profit margin is much higher and that allows them much more freedom to innovate in their distribution. That, and they have no doubt that people will continue to consume their product. I doubt they'll ever eliminate the pirates, but they will lead the way technologically for flexible video distribution.
Fortunately, DDT "resistance" in mosquitos takes the form of avoidance behaviour. That is, they avoid areas where DDT has been sprayed. Which is what we want them to do anyway... wait...
I was under the impression that the moon was made of green cheese. Thanks to the wonders of satellite images we can now all see the truth for ourselves.
While I have no hard numbers to back this statement up, I would venture to guess that there are many people out there still using the 2.4 series kernel, just as there were many using 2.2 at this point in the 2.4 release series. In fact, there are probably a handful of people still using 2.2 and a very small number still on 2.0.
Not everyone can afford to be on the cutting edge.

Iran has been at war with us since the revolution. Its time Americans started recognizing that fact and speak/act accordingly.
Honda sells (or sold) a natural gas Civic. Home refueling equipment already exists.
Am I missing something, or is the government just way behind again?

It is absolutely brilliant.
I need to go and get my JD now...
You can just keep your "Contoller Gloves" off of my woman.

Here's a question for discussion: Would we find these authors so trollish if everything they wrote were not posted immediately to slashdot?

Actually "caucasian" has gone out of vouge. "White" is now the accepted term.

Aircraft, watercraft, and often automobiles are referred to as women. Why not desktop environments?

Then the results will be buried and we'll never hear anything about it again.
Or, better yet, the results will be labeled incorrect and there will be an unending process of resequencing.
How much about evolution are people really willing to question these days?
They had a mechanical failure. Read all about it here:

2. Lots of complaining about how bad the courts are, and how they're all in Bush's/Clinton's/Jimmy Carter's pocket.
I KNEW Carter was still up to something!
