For the most part I would agree with the exception of NASA. Modern Democratic candidates have never been big on space exploration. The general argument being that, "you could have funded a lot of schools with the money you wasted on getting those moon rocks."
"Yet a new report by the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, tells a different story."
I'm not disputing what they say, but the last time I check there is no such things as a "nonpartisan think tank". If there were that would defeat the purpose of having a think tank or policy institute or propaganda machine as they are formed to get the answer their benefactor wants.
Easy, because many public libraries are becoming nothing more than places where people go to check their e-mail. Of course a nice university library is something completely different, but the small town public library is pretty much giving up on those bulky paper things. Why buy new books when you can offer poor people a place to get on-line (and get a bunch of grants)?
My local library only buys 10% of the books that it bought 8 years ago.
I'll disagree with the parent's comment. In my work place we always picked up a new OS upon release (well, all new Mac and Windows offerings) so that our employees have a grasp on how to navigate around it. After two weeks with only a restricted access account the machine is unusable and this was all on suggested hardware with a copy of Vista Ultimate. So far the only real answers that MS have given me are running a system restore (curiously my problems have killed system restore) or reinstalling Vista (sorry pal, I'm not doing that every two weeks). If MS doesn't get on the ball with Vista and begin patching and offering real support it, Vista will be another Windows ME.
Also, I don't seem to remember ME (the Pinto of MS OSes) having becoming an dominant industry standard.
I heard about this yesterday. At this point I think there are probably 3 modders in Idaho who aren't or have yet to work for Valve. They seem to be snatching up all of the indie talent. Hell, I'm pretty sure Stevie Case is working reception or something for them.
BTW, Coulton's music isn't that bad. Who here could hate the Code Monkey song?
"You vote. You vote hard. Vote out the politicians who create laws or allow laws that allow the classrooms to be disrupted. You really want to make this country great again. It starts in our schools. That is the real investment in our future. Anything else is short sighted and not enough effort."
Sorry, I had to stop and laugh about this one.
No, not if it means voting against the guy who I agreed with on the issue of abortion.
The over-priced Monster cables have a life-time warranty. Break 'em, they replace them; that least that is what their ads say. That generally warrants a higher price.
1.) Join the Empire 2.) Get assessed and taxed or be punished for breaking the Empire's laws as a citizen. 3.) Get conscripted to go fight for the Empire.
It doesn't matter if the people running from the store are going to the movies or they have just stolen something. A lot of cities have laws against running and jogging can only be done if you are wearing the proper attire so that others know you are a jogger.
What she did certainly wasn't the smartest thing, but am I the only one who thinks there is something wrong with Boston? I think it is high time all of the Boston police go through some type of bomb training or something.
So I'm assuming all that trouble in the Balkins started when Slobodan Milosevic did a Yahoo search and told everyone around him, "Hey guys, I'm not sure if we should get this new Michael Jackson album or not but I just came across this article on genocide. Ya know, we ought go to Srebrenica and wipe everyone out to find out if its cool or not. I mean, it sounds awesome, what do you say?"
The biggest problem I see with this is that there is no definition for liberal or conservative. For all I know "liberal" respondants all had a college education and were bery keen on fast twitch activities, while all "conservative" respondants were born from 3rd generation incestious relationships and had no arms or legs.
Without knowing this, the whole thing comes off as, "We are right, you are wrong and we have broad generalizations of history to proove it. STFU!".

But the private sector has already fulfilled that need, satellite.

Will people please stop checking out Catcher in the Rye at the public library.
Why not go to the library?

Because they don't want to loose customers and torrents eat bandwidth.
Bah, I just save screen captures and make necessary edits in GIMP.
I only read:
Ballmer: "I love your daughter."
"She's 13," Genovese shot back.
I also think there was something in there about a chair being thrown and how he was going to bury her or ____ her or something.
Only if your vote is real.
"I've been working on my own Access-killer for a couple of years now."
I think you are a little late to the party. Didn't Access commit suicide like 5 years ago?

So Pogue isn't complaining about the XO not being an Apple product?

Rinse, wash and repeat.
Are you sure it isn't 50% of coders admit to coding in their sleep?

So how do we quantify "stupid"? Knowing most of the dialogue to Holy Grail?
In the Prime games the character looks down for a half second when quickly nearing ledges and jumping.
Am I the only one who read this and thought it sounded like Stallman is running for public office?

That would fit with his Lawful Evil alignment.
