    Heartland Institute is hardly a credible organization. It seems to be a shill for big oil, etc. Here are some interesting articles about Mr. Spencer's institute: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008/01/what-if-you-held-a-conference-and-no-real-scientists-came/ http://www.desmogblog.com/500-scientists-with-documented-doubts-about-the-heartland-institute

    So you're saying that when I add the soundtrack to my home page, I should have the musical notes going by in a flash animation? No... I'd recommend a 3D Java applet, or maybe some sort of plugin-based monstrosity.

  6. Re:Fresh ground on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: -1

    Personally, I think the best way to good coffee is to avoid anything roasted or sold in America Sorry, but roasting coffee is not rocket science. "Oh--I lived somewhere else and X was soo much better there than AMERICA."
    I've had bad coffee made by big and small companies, but I've also been to countless local coffee shops and had fantastic, locally-roasted coffee.

    Sure, there are a lot of things wrong with this country, but not everyone's an idiot. Get a life, stop going to Starbucks, then try to enjoy products from your local economy. You won't be disappointed.

    Aspartame, however, is a big complex bundle of amino acids that we don't really understand too well, which is why I've tried to cut it out of my diet.
    Actually, it is a simple compound of only two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. These are both naturally-occuring in nature. The only danger is if you suffer from phenylketonuria (PKU).

    Bad handwriting is a sign of lazyness

    Not taking the time to look up and learn proper spellings is more a sign of laziness than poor handwriting, IMHO.

  12. Re:A Student on Follow Internet2's Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Actually, no students pay very little for this stuff. Most of the money comes from grants and other subsudies. The university system is just another state sponsored R&D site.

    I would disagree. Students ARE very important. Many private universities are not at all state funded, they are more of a business. If there is sufficient focus on the students, those students will eventually become weathy alumni who fondly remember their college days, and with a substantial gift.

    we've shot ourselves in the foot and can barely keep our budget in line now. Research is the lifeblood of the university. Without it, you'd be paying $1000 a credit hour (like most private institutions) instead of the $150 you do now.

    It is good policy, and very forward looking of the institution, to focus on the students for this reason. Alumni money is vital.

    HOwever, I DO agree that some schools are completely off focus a\nd need to evaluate the balance between students, research, and making money off side businesses. Not that I've never enjoyed a good football game, but anyway, I'm off topic as it is.
