...nation of abused housewives that always blame ourselves ("The reason I lost my job, car, home, everything was I just didn't work hard enough, it's got nothing to do with H1-B visas, whatever those are!").
Actually they are right. People with H1-B visas agree to work harder for less money than Americans. You can only blame yourself for no job offers.
Should you mention outsourceing to oversea country you would have a point.
Be nice if the united states supported the egyptian people.
US government supports Egyptian government to keep gas prices down in USA. Average American doesn't care about civil rights in foreign country but he cares a lot about cheap gas. So US government does what it has to do to keep Americans happy. "Bread and Circuses".
First man to die on takeoff was a woman. First man to die on re-entry was also a woman
Sounds like a success record. Are you sure there are no better examples?:-)
Tereshkova was sent into space exactly because it was politically correct to do. Soviets had first man and wanted first woman in space. Also comunists tried to make women "equal" to man often forcing them to do man-jobs (like miners).
And can have mental problems locked in small space. I know some women prefer to work with men because of conflicts between women.
Teoretically women are physically better as pilots (thay can survive higher Gs than man) but still most of pilots are men.
Astronauts are often partially scientists. Science (maths, physics, engeneering) is not very popular with women. Women prefer "soft" science: psychology, philology etc.
I can't really see how women only team of astronauts would work. Men only teams had proven itself, already.
And, though I rarely ever use the word these days except when talking about some foreign cultures, the article even manages to come across as sexist since the majority of it seems to be written from the perspective of whether to include females in space flights with the rationale that females cause sex! (Note to critics, it is the combination of these two things that triggers a response of 'sexist'. In my experience, men also, uh, cause sex).
History of space exploration is a history of man. First man in space, first man on the moon. Most likely first man on Mars. It's fair assumption that we will be adding women to men teams not the other way.
In short: don't be so politically correct. Man and woman are different, they behave differently, they have differnt physical abilities. Giving women right to vote is good thing but it doesn't make them magically equal to man in every way. And by saying that I don't mean women are inferior - they are just different.
It's not that hard. You start with definition of hounted house. Surely if they think house is haunted they heard or seen or felt something. So let them define where and what it was and then try to measure and explain it.
It is. But I think Wikipedia should beg for support from governments. If every country puts 1mil to the basket Wikipedia problems would be gone forever.
I wasn't sure what to expect - but it sure seems like the sole purpose of this release was to embarrass the United States. I don't see anything that is particularly beneficial to the public here - and isn't that purportedly why WikiLeaks exists?
On the contrary. There is for example very interesting information about USA trading rocket shield program in Poland for Russia support against Iran. It can cast new light on Poland's relationships with USA.
I can see limitations with patent system. I think it could allow patents for phisical inventions only (real machines). Unfortunately I think removing patents completely will be even worse for small companies or inventors. There is no chance you can be competitive with large and rich company if there is no patents. They can just copy your invention and undercut you.
[...]and there's a guy in FFII who published a computer science paper only to find that someone else patented an extension of his work a few years later.
It's completely legal. He added some "value" so he can patent it. That's how patent system works. There is no prior art defence here.

Try walking naked on the street. Every society has it's arbitraly rules.
It can be covered by NDA because it would be revealing of company secrets.

Maybe, I can't judge that because it was made private. :-(
It's half measure. They should just release a virus in Blackwater and be done with it.
Other than money, can anyone cite an upside to working in IT?
Is there any other reason to work AT ALL?
The kind of strength required to be a miner is well within reach of many women.
No it isn't.
How is miner a man's job? btw I live in Russia, but grew up in the good old USSR, no one was "forcing" women to take mens jobs.
Every job which requires physical strength is a mens job. Simply because men are stronger than women.
Silly communists
actually managed to convince women they were equal to men.
Silly indeed. Women are not equal to men.
The point is, though, that your statement "History of space exploration is a history of man" is dead wrong.
Oh really? Compare number of men to number of women astronauts. How many women landed on the Moon?
So the AI triumphed, and they're calling it a huge success? I wonder how the programmers feel about this. Pretty satisfied, I'd imagine.
They can laugh. Until IBM hires Watson to do their job.

virtually no human testing
And how do they know?

This kind of horseshit is blatantly anti-consumer. How can this be in any way legal? Oh, wait, legislative entrainment by big business, never mind.
Not everywhere. In Poland it allows you to break the contract.
It is. But I think Wikipedia should beg for support from governments. If every country puts 1mil to the basket Wikipedia problems would be gone forever.
Support Netflix, not piracy.
I can't. Netflix is not available here. Nor Pandora. Nor Hulu.
