Stay in? What about joining in the first place? In my school and year, which was roughly a 50/50 sex distribution, 5 boys and 1 girl chose to take double-maths A-level (post-16 exams).
Before anyone points out that that's a small sample and that the plural of anecdote isn't data, I realise that. I'd like to see some statistics on relative proportions of girls and boys who take maths at school once it becomes optional (in education systems for which this is relevant), before they encounter the culture of working as a mathematician.
There are other ways of making Java programs platform-dependent. You can assume that the root filesystem is c:\, for example: a common beginner's mistake.
Ironically, it would have been nice to have had Science around in a mature state at the time to record enough details to actually do this.
Do you mean to say that you think science is in a mature enough state to identify the presence or absence of divine inspiration in a statement made today?
Very little of what you encounter in math textbooks rises to the level of mathematical law.
It is fair to say that because your school textbooks taught arithmetic as "this is the way it is", rather than starting with modus ponens and Peano's axioms, it was not proven. You, however, seem to be alleging that it is not provable.
The Bible is a story, not a collection of facts, regarding the origin of living things.
Two chapters on the origin of living things. If you want to sum the subject matter of the Bible up, "regarding the dealings of God with man" would seem more apt.
The material was written by many people over hundreds of years in many different languages.
Many people, yes, but three languages (Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek) isn't many.
My dad's also a physics teacher; he uses a variant on this experiment: replace the flour with curry powder. It gives a strong incentive to blow hard enough for the explosion to blow the lid off the tin, because otherwise there's a back-blast.
I think it's fairly safe to assume that you're from the US, given your use of language. The article is about the UK, where a lot of universities have recently closed their physics departments.
Getting off topic, but every presentation I've ever seen of the twin paradox has had the travelling twin turn round and come back again, therefore undergoing a big acceleration, moving out of the realm of special rel. into general rel., without any mention of the effects of that acceleration on perceived time, and thus making the entire presentation worthless. Maybe someone should work out how to present it to university students before they try presenting it to school students.

I look at that list and I've heard of two of them. Am I the only person to wonder whether "popular" in your first sentence means "written for the people" rather than "known about by the people"?
Lord Sainsbury, the Minister for Science and Innovation, although you could also write to Patricia Hewitt, who's Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and e-Minister in Cabinet (whatever that means).
Some of the analysis I've seen (at El Reg, for those who want sources) suggests that the reason it was put on the agenda for a meeting which had nothing to do with it was that the Dutch presidency wanted to get as much done as possible during its 6 months, to look good. The Luxembourgi presidency may well push it forward, but since it has 6 months it won't move with quite the same indecent haste.
The difference is that, as far as I'm aware, the US hasn't signed a treaty with most of the Central American countries regulating its permitted deficit.
And that's why although this may make a good press release, any professional astronomer (or even amateur) knows why we have the calendar we do
Professional astronomers don't really use the calendar we do. They count days instead. The US Naval Observatory has an explanation of the Modified Julian Date.

Maybe I'm being overly suspicious, but you look to me like a European karma whore. What true American would call Denmark "well-known"?
Capes are definitely a bad idea. Haven't you seen The Incredibles?
Are you storing your library on paper or DVDs?

It's a parody site - or was, before it exceeded its bandwidth quota.

Your assumption seems somewhat dangerous.

Here in England we make jokes about the Irish (and, to a lesser extent, the Scottish and French).

Sort-of. I prefer to use fink to install fung-calc, though.
The book's good too, but it has been known for great directors to turn great books into awful films.
