Ever read it? By Greg Egan, THE most imaginative SF author ever
Why would you think it was even that? For its
sad Holden Caulfield-meets-the-'00's imitation?
Because it makes the saurian connection?(Sex &
hatred.)
It does the one awkwardly at best and
the other amateurishly to say the least.
The gold-digger was poor to begin with, just like
the rest of us; he just got lucky. So now what?
The rest of us trade what little time we've got
left to Mr. Lucky in return for scraps off his
table; how does he decide what our lives are
worth? Looks around for someone who'll cut his
neighbor's throat cheaper, and there's no
shortage. Then, if Lucky can work it, he'll set
it up so the money runs the show from then on,
letting his children's children decide what the
market in starvation will bear during their gen-
eration. The human cast of this pathetic farce
comes and goes; the gold calls the shots and is
apparently immortal as well as amoral.
Who told you that? The above post is entirely
correct:dual processor 9600's entirely sup-
ported by the os. The problem was that few
app's could take advantage of the 2 processors,
photoshop being one of the few that could...
"That's unbelieveably insulting. If the facilities
and staff are first-rate, so what if all the
whites leave? Are you suggesting that minorities
can't hack it without them?"
I'm not, but that was the apparent premise of the
suit, or at least its proposed remedy by the
courts.
"politicians will ignore anyone who doesn't have
the power to hurt them."
Most of the damage in the kcmsd situation was
done by the locally-elected school board, the
majority of whom over the years have shown
minimal concern for those who elected them, as
far as can be determined from watching them at
the meetings. No one can tell what their concerns
are from one mtg to the next.
$1,000,000,000 / 35,000 (# of pupils in
kcmsd) = $28,700 approx. Whence the $11,700?
And the usual expend.per pupil figure is cal-
culated per annum. This $1bil figure for the
KC suit's settlement was money spent between
'87 and '97, when the suit was held to be set-
tled by a judge newly assigned to the case who
described himself as "the finisher" or words
to that effect.
What about replies #2 & 3? Even allowing for
the apparent enormity of the sum, compared to
the wrong it was intended to right (50-70 yrs.
of neglect by the local and state boards of
education, the last 30 in direct defiance of
Brown v. Board of Ed.) it measures out to be
a fairly average amount that would have been
spent by any conscientious school board over
the years in question on a district this size.
And reply #3? Why the neglect in the first
place? Why the "white flight"? Who's left
behind when that happens, and what is the
effect?
"statistics that demonstrate that private schools
produce better education for less money."
For the same reasons the Japanese & European
systems do; they get to pick and choose who
they take as students.
America says everyone gets an education, whether
they want it or not...
Statement #1: (roughly)Expenditures on public
education have gone up severalfold since...
Reply#1: Compared to inflation during the same
period?
Statement#2: (roughly)Kansas City was forced by
the federal government to spend $1bil...
Reply #2:That was the result of a lawsuit brought
by graduates of that last segregated school
district in the country which sought to end that
situation. That school district hadn't passed a
bond issue in over 20 years, and hadn't built a
new school in much longer than that.
If one considers the increase in costs of
construction over those years, that incredible-sounding
sum almost put kcmsd back to
even with the surrounding districts.
Statement#3:(roughly) Results: no improvement
reply#3: ostensibly the goal of this construction
blitz was to "lure majority students back to
kcmsd." The attempt was both an insult to the
minority population still resident in the district
and an obvious impossibility; more than once it
was said in public but never in the media, "Why
do you think I (we, they, whomever) moved in the
first place?"

Aside from the fact that I wouldn't p... down his throat if his guts were on fire, yeah it can probably be fixed somehow...
ful short, but awful funny.
Wonder who's idea this was? Can anyone say FUD? Apparently so.
The latter.

A two-word phrase that should never be used in this context
Time to start hacking (again, I presume; most who seem to enjoy this area of endeavor started by themselves. Maybe this is true of any field [?])
Speaking of /.'ed...
What does the above Latin phrase mean to YOU?
p.s.: It's "forest", not "forrest".
Why would you think it was even that? For its
sad Holden Caulfield-meets-the-'00's imitation?
Because it makes the saurian connection?(Sex &
hatred.)

the other amateurishly to say the least.
Haven't hung out here much, you say?
Well, the amount of gold we know about remains the
same, although there are fewer of us to know about
it.
The gold-digger was poor to begin with, just like
the rest of us; he just got lucky. So now what?
The rest of us trade what little time we've got
left to Mr. Lucky in return for scraps off his
table; how does he decide what our lives are
