That was 30 years ago? I think the article probably appeared within the first year of Pioneer's launch or was that much later? Can anyone remember? I was a kid then and that article started me thinking about interstellar travel and wondering about who will read the messages carried on the craft. Feels like I've fast-forwarded into the 21st century.
"That's all folks!" would be so apt. And then maybe they could also put in some kind of digital playback device that would be triggered when someone came near to play the Merry Melodies tune that comes on at the end of each program. And then that someone would smile and shed a tear as he remembers fondly all the laughter that Chuck Jone has given him and the whole world. Sniff!:~)
We shouldn't even be trading with the Chineese at all.
Not practical. The USA imports about 100 billion dollars worth a year from China. That includes the shoes and shirt that you may be wearing. The Barbie dolls you daughter/sister/niece got for Christmas. And many more things, of course. You need only go to any large store to find out.
But the question wasn't about mathematical proofs, it was about making a convincing legal argument.
I am aware that the ability to spell or write grammatical sentences is not considered important these days. I've been told there are many people at MIT who can't spell either. I'm not surprised at all. There are many fields like EE or math where the inability to spell or to express yourself doesn't affect your ability to solve the problems in those areas. Also, we now know that you can become Vice-President even if you can't spell;-) And probably even President! Considering how GWB mangles his sentences, I'm not too sure that he can spell either.
No one will take you seriously if you can't spell or type so sloppily that your sentences are full of typos.
It is weight, not waight.
Individual, not indevidual.
Especially, not especally.
Judiciary, not Judisary.
Citizens, not Citesens.
If u go see a movie where even the title is a rip-off expecting a clever, original plot and dialogue, perhaps u deserve to be disappointed? Elvis movies were made as excuses for Elvis to sing and gyrate his pelvis. Fred Astaire movies were made as excuses for Fred Astaire to dance, dance, dance. So Jet Li movies are excuses for him to kick and leap and for his audiences for him watch him to do just those things... which he does very well. Nothing more.

Because if the main characters were nice, rational, sane guys they would have problem-free lives and there would be no story to tell.

One OS to rule them all,
One OS to find them!
One OS to bring them all,
And in the Darkness bind them!
