No, he is not being a smart ass. I tried Eclipse, KDevelop and XCode (oh, the horror) just to find that productivity was halved compared to vim+cscope. So I am back good old vim now.
Except for the fact that MS Word is more widely used than TeX
Not for professional, publication quality work.
most people who use TeX probably have word as well (Show me a university that doesn't provide a new copy to every single faculty)
I am not aware of MS word for Linux, which is the OS of choice, at least in science departments. Plus, unless they also improved the equation editor since whatever version shipped with Vista, that thing is not worth its weight in toilet paper (good luck drawing a commutative diagram with it, for example). At the rate MS is improving it has at least 25 years to go before it catches up with TeX.
That process would be SLOW and would result in several wasted generations of students.
I am very curious to know what are those other lucrative careers you speak of, which would allow one to pay off their student loans within a reasonable time frame (~5 years).
Wow, his show just did a high altitude flight over your head. What Colbert pokes fun at is not the French, but rather American stereotypes about the French.
I voted to name it Colbert, and I did not do so because Colbert told me to, I did it because I was curious to see what NASA would do if he won. I think I achieved my goal, so now I am just enjoying the chaos.
You are wrong, so I am correcting you, as requested.
Finnish is a Finno-Ugric language, related to Hungarian and Estonian, and like Hungarian it is an agglutinative language, which makes it as different from English as you can possibly get, at least as far as structure is concerned.
And what exactly are the criteria for being a freedom-based society? Not censoring newspapers and blogs? Not wiretapping phones without a warrant? Respecting habeas corpus? Who exactly qualifies these days?
No. Even if we did not find this particle and found the Higgs, the current model would still be insufficient, as it does not account for gravity. Moreover, the Standard Model deals with elementary particles, while this "particle" is actually a resonance, a shortly lived, bound state of several elementary particles. The mathematical concepts on which quantum field theory, in its present form, is built, are not very well suited for describing bound states, so our understanding of such bound states, within the Standard Model, is rather poor. Therefore it is no surprise that such unpredicted composite "particles" show up every now and then (this is not the first one, it is a fairly common occurence).

yes they're appointed -indirectly- by an elected body, I know. Still it's not the same as a real democracy.
I cannot think of any country in this world we inhabit where the minister of foreign affairs is elected by direct vote. Not even Switzerland.

But you have an informed choice to believe in Zombie Jesus or not to
Not if you are indoctrinated about Zombie Jesus since age 3.
Forget about IIS. Most of the data is in DBF format. DBF!!! How about using some non-proprietary format from this century like, say, XML.
Any scientific journal I ever published in accepts TeX. Many of them require TeX.

If God exists, and if he's omniscient and omnipotent, he could...
...come up with something he could not do, which would make Him less than omnipotent. Hence the original hypothesis must be wrong. QED.
No. I have a computer at home and I almost never send emails when I am at home (except in emergency situations).
so, you think that the answer to poor urban planning is more poor urban planning?
It's not unprecedented for the US to prop up dictators in exchange for fuel
My guess: with a brilliant kick from 40+ yards out.
it does make you wonder how many people are going to send "buttery nipples" to the White House
Let's hope they don't get too many Australian friends then, as that drink has far less palatable name down under
Plenty of people get degrees today with the assistance of loans.
Yes, I know. My wife is one of them. She'll be 45 before she'll be done paying them off.
That process would be SLOW and would result in several wasted generations of students.
I am very curious to know what are those other lucrative careers you speak of, which would allow one to pay off their student loans within a reasonable time frame (~5 years).
It's my personal philosophy that students DO need to pay for most of their degree
and you would end up with an army of lawyers and doctors, as those are the only professions that allow someone to pay for their degrees.
So, are you trying to argue that we should let them become a nuclear power?
No.... we're not "better," just much less likely to use them against others.
Bullshit. How is the only country who ever used a nuke "less likely" to use one in the future?

Yeah, being right about the waste and unfunded entitlements in the stimulus is really something that makes one feel doofy
No, it is not. But I don't see how this matters for Jindal, he has never been right about anything in his entire life.

... or they do really believe and they think that they are going to hell for sure :-)
or am I totally incorrect in this?
Yes, you are. Heat can dissipate through radiative transfer.
