Seriously, how can you get away with saying something like this. Try talking to a 17 year old American applying to college, now make it so they can only take their SAT's ONCE, then lower the available colleges and acceptance rates, you'd see the same thing in America.
"Oh, but it must be because they are Chinese!"
I'm surpised someone can get a +4 by making broad generalizations like this. If parent was talking about Linux, the post would be a troll!
Honestly, the only reason I'm interested in Vista is the Expose-like feature. I use a mac at school and Expose makes working just a little less frustrating.
Granted, only government funding has been banned but any research scientist can tell you that agencies like the NSF are the primary contributors in scientific endeavors. By cutting off funding, they are essentially killing the field. I think the research universities outnumber the "old, rich" guys who have millions of dollars to throw.
Pertaining to the leaked document, does anyone find it odd that even though the splitters where installed, there is no activation date for any of them? (Page 13)
Unfortunately, this country was never designed to be a democracy, no matter what you think you remember from US History class. This country was created by rich white people who thought that it might be a good idea to protect thier own property.
We live in a REPUBLIC. We vote for representitives that vote for "us". Sure, some systems in our goverment are democratic in nature, it doesn't make it a democracy.
I can't just march up to Congress and help change public policy now can I? Is that a democracy?
I don't care about how precisely the government should be run, but I want to have a say when they are doing something that I object to.
I fully appreciate the use of genomics to identify possible illness that I might have in the future, but it should'nt be used by my employer. Just because one has a genetic predisposition for cancer, doesn't mean that one will get cancer in their lifetime. Consider these two people:
Person 1) Genetic predispositon for lung cancer
Person 2) Perfectly healthly(genetically speaking)
Now the employer would probably hire person #2, soley based on his genetics. However, it could be that person #2 drinks a six pack of beer a day plus two carton of cigarrettes!
My point is my genetic material is my OWN personal information, just like my political affliation, religion or sexual preferencegenetic material. My genetic material should be protected as well.
Its more cost effective to manufacture and sell one kind of mouse before they start moving into improvements/revisions.
Remember how there are no windows drivers for the MM? So thier market is way limited to just mac users who have $50 extra dollars.
Its either the tax dollars go to a government agency or the tax dollars go to a public-private partnership.
NASA knows how to do space-flight. As stated before, private companies are no where close to the capabillities of NASA.
Can we at least leave ONE thing unprivatized?
Perhaps you should cite you source if you're going to make a blatant rip from wikipedia.
I understand its very informative for the slashdot community, but at least give credit where credit is due.

Doesn't increased heat decrease the solubility of liquids?

I think a dead battery does the trick on the older models.

It's obvious that they are using some of the money to fund the Google Foundation.

The victims of scams are people too.
I was just about to post the same thing; chuckled when I saw this first :)
Read the Fourteenth Amendment and the Slaughterhouse Cases.

How can nuclear plants be "green"(environmentally friendly) if they produce many years of slowly decaying nuclear waste?
In about thirty minutes you can watch as the bay doors on the shuttle open, the NASA commentator said that they might be able to get feed.
