I'm perplexed you say "Kerry, as usual, twisted the question around" because when I read the text, Kerry seemed to give straightforward short answers, Nader liked the opportunity to talk and Bush read like a generic discursive essay application typical of Harvard/Yale applications.
Don't be jealous because you have a small penis. You were born that way, look for something positive to take your frustrations out on... perhaps you could join the police or study a CompSci degree?
Firstly you may be perceived as a harrasser (phone calls are pretty easy to trace), secondly isn't that lowering yourslef to his level, if this improfessionalism is correct. By all means provide words of encouragement to anyone that you perceive has been done wrong, and perhaps provide assistance to them if desired, but don't stick your ass in as a third party - it helps noone's cause.
Please find a word in the English language, in the OED, which has an acute over the 'e'. The OED is online, and I cannot find such a ref. in it. I stand to be corrected, though. [And yes, resume is a worl which has a totally different meaning from 're[acute]sume[acute]' [French].]
So cut the workforce, move all essential server capacity to India, China, and Eastern Europe, and let those millionaires go off and start other companies.
Servers cost pretty much the same in the US, China or Eastern Europe - in hardware terms (and are perhaps cheaper after import taxes etc). The manpower requirement isn't a large part of ongoing expenses - manpower 'costs' Google in the development areas (direct in these workers, plus indirect from their assistants, people running the canteen etc; I'm sure they also have a strong finance/legal team but doubt this tops 100), where the brightest from India, China, Eastern Europe could well apply and be successful (as the people they're after are in such a limited supply).
As for let those millionaires go off and start other companies... these people are not slaves of Google, if they wanted to leave they could, and could take most of their stock options with them. These people stick around because they have the freedom to.
The tech sector is not ailing - it is doing pretty well, not as well as 98, but who wants morons with cr4p ideas who never make them work, to get paid by (money wasted by) pension and saving plans - real people's investment in the future?
Are you sure its not ADD and you're not infact bored with life/expect things to pickup in the future (I know a whole load of misdiagnosed ADDers, as the doctors found it easier to say "they have ADD" rather than "the education you're giving them sucks - they can achieve far more than you give them the chance to, and can't be bothered with what you offer")?
No ADD for me, just the crazy shakes when I have a coffee! Don't worry about the TV - there are many other far crazier things in everyday life; I think the mantra sums it up pretty well: Obey, Conform, Consume.
However to understand the layout of something, the world (or whatever) is surely topology, not visual skills. As a visually able person I can recall pretty well a map of most cities, neighbourhoods, countries I've ever seen a map of, which is fine for my needs (getting to a housewarming, LAN party, etc).
But remembering a map is not the only way to remember where somewhere is, or the relative and comparable attributes of a place, as geography (at least in high school) is concerned with. I can do n-dimensional matrix albegra - most with basic math can - so I can think in n dimensions, where N can be more than a 2D (or pushing it 3D) visual map. Although when I'm looking for a place I can remember the local street layout after glancing a map, I too can remember "1st left, second right, number 62). Likewise, for the story's example "Capitol of the South American country to the west of Surinam" just remember wher the Surinam is, and know relative locations of other locations, and no problem - it is the same problem for visually imparred and fully visually able, bar the tiny minority with a 'photographic memory'.
Now, if the exam if open-book, i.e. the kids don't have to remember the location of the Surinam, just open their books, find the river and the nearest town and draw a line... then (aside from that not being a test whatsoever, not a test of memory (perhaps not too important), but not a test of reasoning or judgement either, simply a monkey task) one in the school district must have suggested some ideas for alternatives??? Did you get any suggestions from them?
Allow the free market to work. The government should not intervene in the high-tech labor market.
I agree. Immigration control is government policy. Let the free market work: remove all immigration controls. Immigration control is inherantly un-America.
Yeah I hear TVs when they're mute too, exactly as you say as a high pitch monotonous noise (well, sometimes when it flickers the pictch may vary), its releiving when its turned off. Usually females have better hearing (better in greater sensitivity to high pitch noises), but this is on an overlapping continium of sensitivities. Perhaps you have heightened nervous system in general (are you caffeine sensitive?), or perhaps, as another poster said, we're all a little bit different.
I'm sure dogs can hear it too - they hear frequencies higher than humans, as do many other animals (bats, etc).

Yes, and everything you read in teh intraweb is true.
Do not call him regarding this.

OMG, are you that stupid or have I been double played?

As an American patriot you may wish to not use the French word resume and defer to the Latin CV.
That is, if you love your country.
'no' has less letters than 'yes', therefore in the scope of a binary answer, the short answer is 'no' and the long answer is 'yes'.
But which is the correct answer?
Why is it that all these "new" operating systems (read skyOS, Syllable, etc) always just look like some crappy KDE theme?
Good point. But look on the positive side... it could have looked like GNOME.
The Siberian pipeline, which will provide the bulk of oil export from Russia will go to Japan, not China.
Slashdot: Where racism to Indians is OK and China can be blamed for most things, the the USA is great. Slashdot took the Blue Pill?
Of course scientists caution this would have to continue for at least a couple more years to be a trend or anything to get excited about.
Move along, nothing to see here.
