Who are these oil moguls you are talking about? Canada (the freaking country) is the single entity that receives the most U.S. oil dollars (though Venezuela or Mexico may concentrate the oil dollars they receive more, and Saudi Arabia doesn't exactly give nothing to their citizens, even if a select few control most of the wealth).
Even if you restrict the discussion to private U.S. based companies, the C-level execs may get payed tens of millions of dollars, but that pales in comparison to the billions that are payed to the shareholders in dividends.
I guess you could say I am on the left (I roll my eyes less often watching Olbermann than watching O'Rielly, and I can't think of Glenn Beck as anything other than some sort of hilarious prank). I never thought anything other than Bush banned federal funding except in the case of existing lines.
And I never really noticed 'the majority' of the left saying anything different than that.
Yucca Mountain is a bad idea anyway. The NRC is issuing some sort of rule change or something saying that medium term on site storage in dry casks is OK, I'm not sure how much politics played into that decision.
There is no reason for you to tell the IDE the characters, you could just say 'loop over str'. And when it writes a 'while' loop, the correction would be 'No, a for loop'. That kind of context sensitivity is going to take a long time to come about, so I don't think voice recognition is going to take over anytime soon, but complaining that it would be awkward to use voice recognition to input characters is the wrong tack.
Speaking is essentially inevitable (for people with normal sensory function); there are several documented, modern cases of pidgin languages spontaneously arising.
Grammar and syntax probably benefit from instruction, but even the bluest skinned hillbilly you can find will understand when he is in a social context where his "talkin'" is different (and would thus be able to at least attempt to conform).
It probably makes sense to base it somewhat on speed, but I'm not sure making it a graduation requirement is really going to benefit anyone, people that don't meet a certain speed should just have to take the class (probably something like 30 WPM).
But I'm one of these delusional people that isn't sure that high schools are the right place to be certifying human resources.
One of the researchers in this article, unrelated to depression and the marketing of Prozac, seems to believe that Prozac has a pronounced physiological effect:
The only parts that had to be scrapped were the engines (and maybe the transmissions, I'm not sure about the latter), and they didn't have to be sent to landfills (they could be sold to a metal yard as scrap iron or whatever).
So you visited a site that you expected to give you malware and it gave you malware?
That isn't quite the same thing as browsing. FWIW, the only attacks I have been hit with (running with javascript on) are some pdf exploits (none of them have succeeded).
There isn't really a continent named America. There is certainly a place, but the usage, in English, while muddled, is usually to refer to someone from the United States.
By your argument, the guy would also call someone from Brazil or Argentina the 'same thing' as an American, which starts to get pretty useless.
Note the 'hypothetically here' parenthetical; my reasons for not experimenting with Linux are more about not having serious issues with XP and having a bunch of software that I would have to find equivalents for (and a bunch of software that is identically available, but I would have to go through the process of installing it all, which is tiresome, no matter the platform).

Rumor has it the oil companies have already stuck their straws into it anyway.

You made up a rule for other people.
And people say things haven't changed. "Save money by being able to type their own papers" is definitely a thought from a different era.
But you are describing a two fold pamphlet:
"Don't spend money you don't have"
"Low interest on loans"
"High interest on deposits"
"Pay your bills on time"
That's about 75% of it. A decent cookbook covers a bunch more of it.
That people can't follow those rules has nothing to do with complexity.
At a minimum, a high school freshman is likely to benefit from a typing class during his high school career.
Focusing on high speeds and high accuracy is probably pointless, but introducing the basics sounds like a good idea.

What do you mean? My grade school career (roughly 1985-1998) included both SI and customary units.
It probably makes sense to base it somewhat on speed, but I'm not sure making it a graduation requirement is really going to benefit anyone, people that don't meet a certain speed should just have to take the class (probably something like 30 WPM).

I would have gone with "worth reading" instead of "worth writing about", and I doubt that Fred_A is strictly worried about literary writing.
How does it fare against antibiotics?
One of the researchers in this article, unrelated to depression and the marketing of Prozac, seems to believe that Prozac has a pronounced physiological effect:

I'm pretty happy about antihistamines. And I'm pretty sure they aren't just placebos.
(but I don't take them casually; I haven't taken any pills in months, just coffee and beer)
Wait, are you saying that you feel so ill when you have a cold that you spend a week in bed?
So try talking to her.

The men wear them too?
10 years from now, there are going to be people with 7 year old flash drives fretting about the fact that they wear out.
That's 768 GB of RAM across all of the nodes whereas the SSDs are 1 TB per node.
