No couple is forced to work two jobs. If a couple works two jobs, it is more likely that they are living beyond there means. That could be buying expensive crap they don't need to inflate their ego in relation to their peers, or they are in a mountain of debt, most likely related to the results of living beyond their means.
In the US, we have to have everything now, we can not wait for it to go on sale, and we deffiently can't wait to save up money to buy the product. I guess that is why the US has a negative savings rate.
The solution to this problem is easy. Eliminate public schools and move to an all private education system. That way the market will determine everything, from salary's, to tuition, to other costs. This way parents can choose where their children go, increasing the school's responsibility. The school would have an incentive in hiring well qualified teachers, because if they did not, no one would send their children to that school and the school would have to close. Teachers would also have an incentive to keep up to date in their specific sphere of knowledge knowing that someone younger and fresh out of college would be able to out perform the older teacher if the older teacher did not keep their education updated.
I'll do even better and stick to the topic by pointing you towards two projects that provide municipal FTTH. Both projects prompted the telcos, to call the state legislature and attempt to legislate these projects out of existence.
...and if they've got to put it into planning for human missions to places that should really be handled by robots...
Eventually we are going to become extinct if not by an asteroid, then by the sun expanding into a red giant and gobbling up the Earth. The only way to eliminate extinction is to get our collective asses off this rock, into space and on as many planetoid surfaces as possible. That way at least a small part of humanity will survive.
If Israel is nuked, and the US does not respond with full retaliation, Israel will trigger the Samson Option by unleashing its nukes on Europe and Russia. Who would in turn, unleash their nukes on the US, via MAD.
Israel is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, then Iran when it comes to Nuclear weapons and Israel already has developed them.
It's not only trying to regulate Jack Bauer, but conservatives love 24. If one listens to conservative talk radio, Rush, Doctor Laura, etc. they praise 24 as an example of what would happen if we decided to ignore all of the threats over seas and just concentrated on 'domestic' issues. Nuclear bombs, virus's, terrorists making nuclear reactors melt down, are just a few examples of what could happen if the USA does not take the fight to the enemy.
The republicans have a vested interest in keeping 24 edgy, so they can continue to promote their fear campaign against the American public. The more fear they can install in us the more liberty the can take away. So the government can protect them. Which, ironically, 24 shows that the goverment as a whole is completely inept, and if it wasn't for one man, Jack Bauer, who operates outside the law, nothing would get done in the fight agianst terrorism.
Of course just yesterday, Rush Limbaugh was comparing himself to Jack Bauer saying that he has been warning people about RINO's for a decade and a half (he was specifically talking about the Govanator), If you have top Republican's promoting the show, there is no way in hell it is going to get toned down. Hell, who broadcasts 24? That would be Fox, which we all know is owned by News Corp, which is in turn run by none other than Rupert Murdoch, a staunch conservative, who has a helluva lot of influence with the current administration.
If the US did that, the EU would set up there own root servers over night and 'fork' DNS. If that day comes, Americans can say good bye to the intraweb. That is if the new at&t hasn't already gutted it by bribing congress into gutting network neutrality.
Last I checked ICANN is located in the US and is over seen by the US Department of Commerece. If the US passes a law that would force all pr0n to.xxx, ICANN would be forced to comply.
So just print out a letter that is PGP encrypted. Put it in the envelope, and then the person receiving the letter can OCR it back into a computer and decrypt it.
That being said, I wonder how long it would take for the US government to start demanding people hand over their PGP keys if that happened. I know you are forced to hand over the keys in the UK, maybe if Bush does the same, we will have to have another revolution against a tyrannical King George.
I'll trade you getting Battlestar Galactica at the same time as the USA for getting Doctor Who at the same time as the UK.
I'll up that wager, I'll trade you getting Battlestar Galactica at the same time as the USA for getting Doctor Who AND Torchwood at the same time as the UK.
Unfortunately, the reason Torchwood would never come to the US is because the censors in the US would throw a fit about the content of the show. Way to much swearing and sex. The show would have to pull a sex and the city, and be picked up by HBO, not very likely for a sci fi show...
Maybe the gate acts like the TARDIS, and emits a telepathic field that automatically translates the native language into the native language of the traveler and vic versa.
Of course, the gate can only translate verbal language and not written language like the TARDIS. That is a result of the Ancients not being as technologically advanced as the Time Lords.
That being said, I think the Doctor needs to get to the Pegasus Galaxy asap. They seem to have ZPM's and sense the Eye of Harmony doesn't work anymore (hence why the Doctor has to refuel the TARDIS from time to time) it could turn out to be useful. At the very least, he won't have to make continuous trips to Cardiff.
Hmmm, I wonder which provides more energy, an artificial black hole, or Zero Point Energy...
Don't expect to goto European servers for freedom of speech. The moment you even elude to denying the holocaust, or speak what may be considered hate speech, they will throw you in jail.
Feel free to mod me off topic, (cause I am) but damn, I would much rather a T.A.R.D.I.S then Orson Well's time machine. Something about being bigger on the inside than on the outside...hmmm...now where is a Time Lord when I need one....
What is a language anyways but a context free grammar? The school I goto teaches Java as the primary language, but once you get into the junior, senior classes you branch out into C and C++ (they even teach Cobol, ewww, I know).
Once you take on Automata and Computability, and learn about CFG's then the language isn't the problem. On the other hand, learning a paradigm (like OO vs Structural) can be a bitch.

You did notice what state this is proposed from? Evangelical Christians would love to set the evil bit for lds.org.
Where does the US Constitution state that a person has a right to be educated?

You must believe that the pyramids are landing pads for alien spaceships.
Could it be due to this maybe?

So...? Once it is a DVD, rip it with DeCSS and store it on a RAID'd server.
Or you could find a way to break the encryption on the original image if you are that concerned about littering the environment with DVD's.

Wheres the damn Goa'uld tag when you need it?
You mean how the Time War in Doctor Who got rid of both the Time Lords and the Daleks?
Damn, that is my third Doctor Who reference in three posts. Maybe I need to stop watching that show...
You mean like this?

Why do you think we have a double jeopardy clause in our (USA) Constitution?
