But school vouchers increase the funds available per public school student because the vouchers (~$3000) cost less than public education (~$8000). Why wouldn't you want your tax dollars spent wisely? The benefit of having children in a safe environment where they can learn instead of a public school is worthwhile even if it costs more, anyway.
Side Note: The problem with teaching evolution is that it violates the First Amendment. The state can't use its resources to teach people that their religion is wrong, even if it is. The state can't be in the business of picking which religion is right. The whole evolution debate is just a cover for attacking Christians, anyway. Do you ever see the people who are so concerned about the importance of teaching evolution lamenting the fact that so few students understand thermodynamics or market theory? No. This whole mess is a good example of the superiority of private schools. A private school can teach the students both evolution and creationism and the controversy surrounding it. The decision is made by the teachers and administrators under the influence of the parents. A public school has to teach whatever the this term's school board approves of, which may be determined by politics.
I thought xorg.conf was the primary display configuration for the most popular implementation of X11. I did some googling and found out it is actually a combo meal at a small fast food chain near San Francisco. I apologize for my ignorance.
Is there anyway to use the NUMA features to make Linux do something sensible on a dual core processor?
Right now on 2.6.20 the scheduler so broken that I can run 3 identical tasks on a Turion X2 and the second one gets 100% and the other 2 get 50%. It will stay that way as long as I let them run. I like Linux but that's terrible.
France lost more people to a freaking HEAT WAVE than we did in Iraq, Afghanistan, and 9/11 combined. Tell me more about their wonderful health care. Maybe you prefer Canada where a lady had to drive hundreds of miles from Calgary to Great Falls, Montanato deliver her quadruplets. Canadain health care couldn't handle it, while a small town hospital in the US had no problem.
The last report showed our economy growing at a 4% clip. (It would have been 10% but our schools are socialized.) Go capitalism!
I know this is pedantic but Quebec is technically in Canada. To your
point above: the union was already in place. They were allowed to keep the union. It's just that they didn't have jobs anymore.
" Shutting down an entire store just because they voted for a union is not a good thing."
What do you mean? Isn't it an opportunity for the town to have a better store with lower prices due to
highly efficient union labor? HAHA!
BTW, that's not what happened according to the article that YOU linked.
The store was already unionized. The union played chicken with its members livelihoods and lost. I really can't
believe it doesn't happen more often.
Skeptics know that NASA just had to revise the warmest year on record to 1934 instead of 1998 because their software had a Y2K bug. Skeptics know that climate models don't account for solar variation, especially sunspot activity which affects precipitation. Skeptics know that the rate of global warming is falling. Skeptics know that that the economic costs of reducing CO2 emissions far outweigh the benefits. Skeptics know that global warming alarmists are funded to the tune of 1000x the skeptics.
Don't attack people when you really have no clue. Almost half the climatologists are skeptics and the other half gets big research grants because they aren't.
No. Children already spend too much time in school where they are isolated from the real world. 90% of what you need to learn is not taught in a classroom.
The unions will never allow merit-based pay. We need to move to private schools to improve the system.
If Gonzales is such an untrustworthy liar, why bother with the law at all? Just spy and say he didn't, or make up the evidence for a retro warrant on the old rules. Don't bother to reply. I don't want to take time from your Jihad duty.
Slashdotters howling about losing the 'freedom' to communicate with known terrorists are the first ones to cheer when the government takes away real freedoms like religion, speech, property rights, self defense, business practices, pursuit of happiness, etc. Privacy is an important right, but technology will erode it to nothing with or without the help of government. It doesn't really matter if the government can peg you with terrorist connections if they can just throw you in jail for smoking a f***ing cigarette.
Where were all these privacy advocates when Newt Gingrich's cell phone was being scanned by political operatives or when the Clinton Admin. 'accidentally' dumped confidential FBI files to the press? Oh, right. They're only opposed to snooping IF IT MIGHT SAVE THE LIVES OF INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIZENS. Snooping for politics is fair game, right?
Is there an option or a patch for Linux that runs the highest priority tasks first and then the lowest ones? i.e. task PuttingOutFires gets all the cpu even if MakingDinner and TakingOutTrash want time?
Didn't he predict 20 of the last 3 recessions?
Yes, he's a fruit. That his textbook would be used for college classes doesn't speak well for our higher education.
You might as well print the McDonalds application on the back of the diploma. It would save paper.
Libby was not accused of treason, he was accused of purjury in an investigation of a non-criminal leak by Richard Armitage.
There was no way that Valerie Plame's job at the CIA could stay secret with her husband waging war on the op-ed page of the NY Times. (Or telling every one he meets that his wife is a spy.) It's not possible. Joe Wilson wasn't a journalist. He was a retired ambassador. His NY Times articles were B/S. The bipartisan Senate Intelligence committee debunked him and the Wilsons are lucky THEY didn't get charged for perjury in front of the Senate.
Do you think Richard Armitage committed treason for outing her? You don't because he opposed the Iraq war. Was Colin Powell guilty of obstruction of justice for hiding Mr. Armitage's role in the leak to protect the reputation of the State Dept? You don't because he opposed the Iraq war. Even Liberals like Alan Dershowitz called for Libby's full pardon. Get a cup of decaf, retard.
The CIA has a lot of employees working that are not spies. Even what you would call a spy working for the CIA is usually a case officer that recruits people to get restricted information for them. There is a big difference between saying that Valerie Plame works for the CIA and Valerie Plame is a covert operative for the CIA. The CIA's estimation of fallout from publishing was "He asked me not to use her name, saying she probably never again will be given a foreign assignment but that exposure of her name might cause "difficulties" if she travels abroad" according to Rober Novak.
Valerie Plame/Wilson carries the most blame for blowing her cover. (Although she really hadn't been covert for a long time.) Valerie got Joe a CIA junket to Niger. He then wrote about that classified trip in the NY Times, using it to attack the White House. The White House had to refute the lies that Joe wrote in the op-ed. Robert Novak started asking why would the Bush Administration send Joe Wilson, a staunch Democrat, to Niger in the first place. The answer was confirmed by Richard Armitage and Patrick Fitzgerald knew this from day one: Joe's wife at the CIA got him the gig. Valerie was engaging in politics instead of doing her job. If she wanted to set public policy she should have run for office instead of subverting the policies of those who did get elected.
If he didn't say that she was covert, what does it matter?
You're not supposed to draw attention to yourself in the press, especially in a situation where everyone will ask "why did the CIA send this retarded Joe Wilson guy to Niger?" when the answer is "because his wife at the CIA got him the job." She put her politics over her job and her cover.
The president should have just asked Richard Armitage to serve Libby's sentence since he was the leaker that caused this whole dragged out investigation.

If police can get access to listen in on a Skype call then criminals can, too.

Maybe it was only $20,000 of bottled water. i.e. 3 gallons.

Crap.
Nothing will draw users to Linux like hand editing an xorg.conf 50 times until they get it right.
Pork is flying out of Washington. Does that count?

Wouldn't it be easier to make a freaking hand crank powered laptop?
If the continent that started two world wars, nazism, and communism thinks I'm a nutcase then I can live with that.

Pay attention to the Robert Novak and Richard Armitage sections.
The CIA has a lot of employees working that are not spies. Even what you would call a spy working for the CIA is usually a case officer that recruits people to get restricted information for them. There is a big difference between saying that Valerie Plame works for the CIA and Valerie Plame is a covert operative for the CIA.

Except the bit "Plame went swimming in the political shark tank and got bit." I don't think Ms. Plame has suffered anything.
