That's because different jobs have different education requirements. The average electrician is NOT a PhD, but went to vocational school, and training is based on experience. PhDs graduate from 4-6 years of college and having completed an original research project.
I'd rather have an electrician wire my house than the PhD. Disclosure: I am a PhD, and am aware that a little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous!
There's a very good LaTeX implementation for Windows: MikTeX (www.miktex.org), combined with the WinEdt (www.winedt.com) shell/editor it's pretty unbeatable for that OS.
I have written my Thesis (heavy on math and chemistry) and journal manuscripts with minimal pain. Even incorporating right-to-left text passages into the thesis was almost painless.
For scientific writing nothing beats LaTeX and the price for a well set document is a steep learning curve. But the insight into typesetting you gain while learning the system is invaluable and can even by applied to MS Word, albeit with limited success.
Imagine sitting in a train/airplane with 50% of the people on their cellphones. Now add to this the noise of the other 50% dictating/instructing their laptop.
I hope noise cancellation headphones will still be around in 2015.
... and since you can buy yourself an education and degrees online, there's no reason for.EDU either.
I think the original TLD system was good, however the implementation stinks. It quickly allows to categorize sites, however oversight was/is lax, creating all the too familiar problems.
We are using this feature to manage two queues: one for our kids and one for the adults. It has been a great feature. Before it was introduced we have to continually micromanage the queue, hold on to disks to 'work' the systems (postal and Netflix), and suffered the occasional disappointments.
The profiles allowed us more flexibility and better service. I think that Netflix is trying to increase revenue without increasing their monthly fees. Downgrading our plan and subscribing to another minimal would cost us at least $2.00/month. It is definitely a hidden cost increase.
Has anyone here had experience with the Blockbuster service? Does it support queues and how is their selection?
Customs control is AFTER passport/immigration. The moment you pass immigration you have left the transit area and have entered the 'host' country, i.e. the US.
Terrorists generally do not strive to optimize the victim count relative to the assets they invest. Their prime goal is to terrorize people. If 50-60 years, the occasional bomb and maimed bystander was sufficient to get attention and achieve specific political goals, desensitization of the public has "forced" them to increase yield. Also, the motifs of terrorists have evolved over time, if originally they attempted to achieve a localized goal, today those objectives are more amorphous. Radical islamist terrorists do not want to achieve world domination, free Ireland, adoption of Islam as world religion, or liberate Palestine, the goals are.... (I do not really understand the current goals).
Anyway, terrorists usually do not put efficiency first, it's always the cause and then the means. And the cause is to maximize terror.

You're going to overestimate your remaining fuel if you are relying on a capillary. Unless, of course, your ocular spectrogram can automatically correct for the capillary rise.
I lived most of my life in Israel, and never was there any serious discussion in school/university/public media/government that creationism should be taught or offered as an alternative theory to mainstream science. Only when I moved to the States did creationism show up on my radar: Boards of Education in several states, the president, museums, and other places. On a day-to-day basis life in Israel is probably more religiously influenced (i.e., holidays, weekends, kosher food availability, etc), but major political issues are more religionized in the States than Israel. So, the only declared nuclear country considering creationists views is the US. Maybe somebody can add on the state of creationism in Iran?

Today it is the cowardice to step up to a person talking on a phone, tomorrow it is the cowardice to stand up against restriction of rights of minorities. If history has taught (most of) us anything, is that standing up and speaking out trumps this kind of passive aggressive behavior, which will only increase your level of aggression.
Actually no natural growth process can continue indefinitely. Zero order growth is a very simple and crude approximation that will hold for a short period of time. The decreasing rate in article submission shows that wikipedia has reached a certain maturity. It could be a first order growth, where the rate of article submissions is related to the information already covered or to the a higher threshold to contribute a new original article. Assuming a constant growth kinetic model simply indicates that the author of the study has too limited knowledge of processes, or was just plain lazy to look up more appropriate mathematical models, e.g., higher order kinetics or any of the other well established models.
In the US, prices do not include sales tax, the only exceptions I am aware of are gasoline and cigarettes. Sales tax in the US varies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States, but is added during check-out, thus all prices quoted for the US are pre-tax.
Does you limited example consider UK VAT of 17.5%? Were you to deduct the tax and THEN compare prices you'd find that the premium you pay on s/w (Vista, Photoshop) is 19-12%, respectively, while the premium on h/w is 3% and 7% (PS3 iMac). Seems to me that most of the incremental cost in adopting s/w goes toward language adoption and metrification.

Your counting skills are also limited. That is one question and one instruction.

Except the Chinese shot down a satellite that was in orbit ~460 mi above the earth, the US satellite's orbit was ~130mi.

The plural of "medium" is "media", just like "datum" and "data", "spectrum" and "spectra"!!!

From a source in Germany, in France they're sold for 1K Euro ($1.4K).

The real question is not "when is this expected to happen?", but where? I think it already happened on the NJ turnpike a long time ago
