Completely different societies. The US, Canada and Australia developed automobile suburbs for the last 80 years and have majority populations that are completely dependent on the automobile as the only mode of transportation. That can often mean living 5 or more miles from where you shop and 20 or more for work. Add to that a just in time inventory system that relies on the trucking fleets hauling necessities thousands of miles... and well you get the picture of a civilization "Addicted to Oil."
If I were to hire an employee, I would disregard any degrees from online universities
This is of course rubbish. As someone who has been in the position of hiring I can say there are many factors to consider. To "disregard" a resume based on the university is a disservice to the company and candidate. In more senior positions the education section is almost irrelevant.
If we're talking junior technical positions (ie straight out of school) then you will be expected to take a test prior to any sitdown interview. Often that means dozens of candidates in a room with all sorts of diverse backrounds (English majors to CS grads).
Wikipedia is more of an outlet for fan boys to pay homage to their various hobbies/heros/whatever. Which in itself can be an incredible resource if say you are interested in a dissertation on the origins of Robocop. However, if you are interested in Voyager space progam you best venture elsewhere.
This is normal for a post-industrialised service economy. You import more than you export and your primary growth is in the services industry.
It's not "normal" because there is no historical precedent. All the US is doing is borrowing from abroad to fund its consumption, which is due to the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. All that borrowed cash will need to be paid back with interest, which I don't see happening since the US makes very little the rest of the world wants... unless of course the US finds a way to export personal trainers.
I can deal with the ebay and paypal fees, but the shipping costs are what's killing me and scaring off bidders. Postal rates have really soared in the last couple of years and with oil continuing to rise I don't expect a break anytime soon.
But why on earth didn't they have their connection locked down? Print the password on the back of a receipt and that way genuine customers can use the connection and the leaches stay outside the network.
You're going to have support problems when you start dealing with passwords... from a cost perspective it's probably easier just to call the authorities or ban the MAC address when the problems arise.
A canny lawyer could claim he thought the connection was a free resource, but I'm unfamiliar with US law on this.
The article isn't clear, but my guess is the cops nailed him on loitering since they warned him once. Probably nothing will come of this unless this or the content he was accessing is a probation violation.
US and Canadian Universities are better because most are run like corporations. They are able to attract top academic and research talent from around the globe with higher salaries, which of course draws tops students from around the globe (ie brain drain).

3+ gal gasoline and higher cost of borrowing are beginning to weigh the US consumer. Things are going to get much worse.

I thought they were going to carpet bomb the telcos from the Google plane
Myspace is pretty much everything I despise about the internet, society and culture; all wrapped up in a convenient package.

Well this can't possibly fail ...

Just the sort of rainy day contest to fill the gap between log splitting and frisbee golf.
