Instead, he tries to spin the question into an assualt on Bush. He's full of shit.
Funny, Kerry never mentioned Bush in his answer. Interesting that you'd interpret it as an attack on Bush.
Reminds me of Bush's answer to the same question during the last debate:
Question: President Bush, you've made thousands of hard decisions in the last four years. Could you give three examples of decisions you might have made differently?
Bullshit. He said leaders should admit their mistakes and can change their views when new facts come to light. His answer had positive information content. That means he answered it.
Here's what we're getting from our "conservative" president:
"I proposed $236 million in Federal funding in FY 2005 for my Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology initiative, part of a total five-year funding commitment of over $1 billion."
"I signed the Help America Vote Act, which has provided $3 billion to states and local governments..."
"My 2005 budget requests a record $73.1 billion in financial aid to help nearly 10 million students attend college, an increase of $25.9 billion (55%) since I took office."
"My budget supports $1.7 billion over five years for the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative..."
Now, I'd expect a Democrat to propose billions in new spending, but a "fiscal conservative"? Where's the money going to come from to pay for all of that?

OK, what's the deal with the 'tell us what the hell this story is about' meme? It's only in the past week that I've seen several posts like this, all modded up to 5.
Here's an idea: If you want to find out what something is, do a little reading. If you don't have enough time to do that, it's not important enough for you to know. If it's not important enough for you to know, it's not important enough to bitch about. It's that simple.
I'm not trolling here, but can't you explore the links and find out for yourself? That's what the web is for, after all. Have some patience and explore.
Since the Mid 1990's Central High School in Phoenix has been involved in Alternative Fuel Vehicles. Originally the club was called "The Electric Vehicle Club" and we built and raced an electric car. Over the last 10 years our interests have broadened to many areas of environmental technologies and thus we are now the E-tech Club.
During the 2000-2001 school year, Senior Laci Blackford, president of our club (then the electric vehicle club) proposed that we design and build a hydrogen vehicle. Laci began research and some electrolysis design that year. Over the next 3 years several students were involved, but it was club president Soroush Farzin who, with Sponsor Mr. Waxman, coordinated the progress and turned Laci's idea into reality!
This project, to make a cleaner transportation vehicle, was motivated by the threats to our health and environment due to automobile-related pollutants. The hypothesis was that a vehicle can be powered by water and sunlight. The ultimate goal of this four-year project was to design and build a vehicle powered by hydrogen, which is generated on the vehicle from water and sunlight. The basic components of this include electrolysis cells, solar panels, a hydrogen purifying system and a storage system, all of which are mounted on a vehicle with an internal combustion engine that has been modified to run on hydrogen.
In fall 2001, we began by building a 5-watt solar-hydrogen unit and researching many safety issues associated with this technology. During the 2002-2003 school year, a 4-cell solar-hydrogen producing unit with over 320 watts of power and a purifying system were built.
In school year 2003-2004 an entirely new electrolysis unit was assembled, various components such as float valves were designed, built and tested. A storage system was also designed and tested. Ultimately, a 1998 Chevy S-10 pickup truck was purchase and modified to run on hydrogen. The solar-hydrogen system was mounted on the truck and the first vehicle in the world to run on sunlight and water was working.
Conclusion
Solar-Hydrogen Transportation Vehicle was motivated by threats to our health and environment. It was planned to build a self-sufficient vehicle that was powered by a renewable source of energy, hydrogen. This three-year project proved that a vehicle can be engineered so that it is capable of creating its own fuel by using water and sunlight, which are literally free.
This project proves that it is possible for a vehicle to produce its own fuel from sunlight and water. A Solar-Hydrogen Producing Unit has been made, which is capable of producing, purifying, pressurizing and storing hydrogen. Also, a vehicle has been converted to run on hydrogen, which is capable of doing whatever a regular vehicle can do. This project gathered known technologies and put them together to make a new field of technology.
The members of this project understand that this vehicle is not the ultimate solution to conventional gasoline-powered cars, but if it is shown that a car can run on water and sunlight, improvements may eventually lead to a practical alternative to fossil fuel powered vehicles.
The first air plane flew a few feet before it landed. Today, airplanes fly between continents. This is the example the club has kept in mind throughout the whole project.
Note: Soroush has moved onto studying mechanical engineering at Arizona State University and is interested in high performance engines. Laci is in her final year of her undergraduate program in mechanical engineering at Cooper Union College in New York City. She has continued her research in hydrogen production as well as storage in metal hydrides.
If you want true distributed web indexing, the browser is the place to put it. On top of that, the indexing is demand based as it's biased to pages that are being visited...
What we need is a cross between a Kinkos, a record store, and a coffee shop. Lots of listening stations to sample the music. A social atmosphere, like a book store. High quality printing and CD burning facilities to fabricate the end product. To prevent piracy you have highly secured local storage and VPN back to the central server.
It'd basically be a mix CD burning store.

For all of those saying, "Isn't this just cheating?" I say this:
Creativity is "just cheating." Creativity is breaking the rules in a novel way that sheds new light on reality. And isn't that the holy grail of AI?
So, was this just cheating? Hell yes. And it's fantastic.

Why do we give a shit about a measly $2.5 billion when we're throwing $120 billion ($200 billion projected) down the bottomless pit of Iraq?
Apparently an educated electorate is too dangerous for the FCC and their conservative backers.
