Reminds me of a SF short story I read a while back (where did I put that anthology book???) of a time in which the only thing left are robots fighting each other, defending two opposing non existent civilizations.
I love "the last man on earth" one of my favorite short stories, on the par with Asimov's "the last question". I've looked for more Fredric Brown but other than a story here or there, and the wonderfully funny "Martians go Home" they're hard to find.

I have the original series in VHS, only problem is it's dubbed to Spanish, given to me as a bday gift many, many years ago, no longer have a VCR to play it either.
I've always thought it was September 1st: IMP#1 at UCLA was turned on that day, IMP#2 at Stanford didn't get turned on until October 1st. But I always celebrate September 1st, 1969 because it happens to be the same day I was born.
I'm not making it up! And the card looked official. I'm glad the card is no longer there, maybe they listened to my complaints (I'm not the sort to leave something like that uncomplained) but I never heard a reply to my mail. Maybe I'll visit them again now.
It's been many years since I was at the Exploratorium in SF, but I've since boycotted it, they had a human skeleton (you had to open a door to see it, to protect children's eyes from the sight of bones!) there was a typewritten card next to it, which mentioned that it was a male skeleton, given that female skeletons have one less pair of ribs.
That's enough for me NOT to recommend a science museum.
It takes huge resources to go from start system to the next, I imagine that once you're there you'd keep your probe there as long as it survives, it doesn't make much sense to me to go through the expense of building probes that just scan one star after another, a waste, a probe's lifetime is probably shorter when around a star system (all kinds of hazards it doesn't encounter in interstellar space), so they probably don't last long once they get there, but still, I doubt they just touch and go.
Urban legend, and a hard one to quantify at that. There are by some measurements up to 2 million people who have enough knowledge of Esperanto to keep a conversation. I doubt very much that Klingon even compares.
In any scary movie when the good guys get on the car and then try to mow down the bad guys with the car they have some measure of success. With this external airbag I'm not sure this is going to work very well... We must provide more anti-zombie (and anti-raptor) features in cars. I mean... give me a car advertised as "20% more likely to survive a zombie attack" and I'm right there.
I'm not sure if you are qualified to comment on the education system, since not only have you failed at basic spelling, you have also failed at installing a spell checker.
Thanks for the correction. I'm sorry about that, I had my browser set for one of the other 4 languages I speak and so missed it (btw English is not my first). And typing an hook instead of a hook was just a mistake.
until private and public schools are the same
And what is wrong with that? Surely you wouldn't deprive a fellow man access to good education, especially if it will incur no great increase in taxation?
Because the way government makes things equal is by averaging, public schools wouldn't get better, private schools would get worse.
The thing that scares me about vouchers is that I don't think it would take too long before there would be regulations deciding what a school must provide in order to be voucher worthy (or tax credit worthy) from that it's not too much to assume that those regulations would be more and more onerous. What about homeschooling, would that be covered too? And if some sort of vouchers are offered the government schools will be pressured to compete which private schools, which sounds good, except for the fact that the way government competes is through force: by making voucher paid education as bad as public school education.
My kids go to private school. The school is struggling to keep the families it has as the economy pressures more and more of them into accepting public schools. Believe me, it's tempting to support vouchers.
Having said all of this I agree that there are better ways to implement vouchers than others, and a refundable tax credit sounds better than others.
Is there any reasonable and objective way to determine a teacher's performance that is independent of the students in her classroom?
Emhhh. being an involved parent? I know my kids teachers personally, talk often to other parents in the class, and of course. Talk to my kids. But then again, my kids go to a co-op school. The teachers don't need to test the kids either because they know them closely and know exactly where they need help.

Surely a study like this is not funded by the organic food industry?
Organic food is much better than inorganic food.
Except for salt

I opened this ./ article seeing how far down a DNA fan was going to show up. Thanks you for restoring balance to the universe.
And precisely why oysters are the perfect food. Doesn't get much uglier than that.

Happy Birthday (mine was Sept 1st, 1969)

The new California Academy of Sciences On the other hand, is awesome, my kids love it.

We'll evolve into birds?
No, that will only happen after the shoe-event-horizon.

Maybe the cat is on an intergalactic cruise... in his office.
Please, give me back my two hours!
Don't forget the telephone sanitizers and tired tv producers.
Yes, but would that me imperial ducks or metric ducks?
I'm probably the only person in the world, but does ANY browser support this two year old standard?
