Getting the fundamentalist nutjobs out of the public schools and into their own little inbred communities where they can't do any harm to the rest of society would just be a bonus, as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, 'cause the Hutaree is absolutely no threat to anyone.
This was ALL worked out. It didn't evolve by a lot of rational people saying we'll take this this and this from the past, then the next generation says we'll take this this and this. This was set down largely in a handful of places. Prussia was perhaps the most prominent of those places. The Prussian experiment leapt into the United States almost immediately in the 1840's. Leapt into the United States; its propagandists covered the country here. Its backers, its financial backers set up the most important teacher training institutes and then financed those institutes and then no one was allowed to become a teacher who didn't more or less subscribe to the fact that experts could create a curriculum and pedagogues could administer it.

The idea of 'elementary education by the state, [emphasis in original] is completely objectionable. Specifying the means availabale to elementary schools, the qualification of the teaching staff, the subjects to be taught, etc. by general law, as is done in the United States, and having state inspectors to supervise the observance of these regulations, is something quite different from appointing the state as educator of the people!
They could control for caffeine by using regular Coke vs. caffeine-free Coke. They could control for HFCS vs, sucrose by using caffeine-free Coke vs. some natural cola.
Are those figures for just one month (February to March), or is there more of a trend? Linear extrapolation from two points usually isn't very accurate.
As I tried to say, China could destroy any country with infrastructure (via nukes) or any country without (millions of pairs of boots on the ground).
As for WWII Soviet Union, the Soviets lost 600,000 men in the first weeks of Barbarossa. Also, the Germans were defeated at Stalingrad because of the narrowness of their advance (OK, and the weather). Even the T-34/85's could stand up to a lot of the panzers, and the Soviets augmented this by mass producing a few tank models (loyal to their Marxist leanings, while the Germans had a wide variety of models of which they produced fewer total tanks.
But the nations that we would think of using terrorism against a rail line don't have modern forces, either. If the Taliban pissed off China, the Chinese could send in millions of troops, with more in reserve. The Chinese could actually fight the Taliban more than a smaller technologically "superior" army.
As for nations with modern forces, they'd be MAD to attack China.
The Russians used to say "quantity has a quality all its own", but they were kidding themselves.
China has the largest standing army in the world, using only 0.53 percent of its population in all of its armed forces. Also, I suspect the Chinese would use their forces more ruthlessly than the US. Even if someone is stupid enough to screw with China, the Chinese response should prevent any repetition.

Once made redundant, bureaucrats could get proper jobs doing something productive, and contribute to the economy instead of feeding off it.
If they could get proper jobs, then why did they become bureaucrats in the first place?
The percentage changes you cited only go from February to March. If we go from October to March, we get
Windows XP 32-bit (40.33-50.01)/4 = -9.68/4 = -2.42
Windows 7 64-bit (22.99-9.54)/4 = 13.45/4 = 3.49
Windows Vista 32-bit (16.88-23.24)/4 = -6.36/4 = -1.59
Windows 7 32-bit (10.92-4.79)/4 = 6.13/4 = 1.53
Windows Vista 64-bit (7.60-10.99)/4 = -3.39/4 = -0.85
