I used to work for a european university. We had quite an impressive standing in europe, but were nowhere near the top of the list woldwide, which is dominated by US universities. This was a non-US list based on the opinion of academic peers. The list of most funded universities is almost exclusively US and UK universities.
Most of these ratings take into account the endowment/funding available with a university, and this can highly boost universities from affluent countries.
If you take quality of education and faculty a higher weight in consideration, other countries (Germany, Japan, Russia, China, India etc) enter the fray and even out the list.
I think the Asian Journal of Mathematics is a peer-reviewed journal, since it has an editorial board.
However, with such profoundly deep theorems, it might be the case that only a handful of people in the world understand what's going on, and it is up to them to come to the right consensus on its correctness.
believe me.. internet service is not the only place where i employ this PoA.
you may be 6'7 and 280 lbs, but if you sound stupid and helpless and ultra sickly sweet, you are attended to immediately with utility services, paycheck troubles, credit card charges, government services, and everything else. except at job interviews, there it fails miserably.
don't worry about China becoming a competitor - we're already getting them to sign up to DRM, and once the number of lawyers there achieves critical mass, their society will also stagnate due to massively overburdening corporations and governments with beaurocracy.
with a few sentences, you have summed up the key words of management speak..
We worked our asses off in the 80s and 90s to create the Internet economy so that there would be good jobs for the American middle class in the new millennium.
Carly Fiorina, Craig Barrett, Larry Ellison, Scott McNealy, and Bill Gates then betrayed us by shipping those good jobs to the cheap-labor centers in India and China.

If it had been a war and we'd been harmed to the cost of a trillion dollars in writeoffs and lost jobs, we'd be nuking someone. But the war was lost because the people who were supposed to be on our side were on the enemy's side.
A computer cares about what it's programmed to do, and that's all it cares about. A computer doesn't care about how tired it is, or the problems it's having with its marriage, or how it doesn't think it gets paid enough. A computer cares about one thing: executing code. And if that code tells it to fly the plane without crashing, then it cares about flying the plane without crashing more than any human possibly can.
and on the other hand, a computer doesnt care if its hardware has a bug in its floating point unit, or if its internal clock drifts by a millisecond, or catches fire or... - it still keeps executing code. humans, on the other hand, are probably better equipped and trained for noticing -emergency- measures.
a computer does not, or can not, have warning symptoms of bugs, only humans do.
it sad that all da comments here izz talkin about dem schoolz not purtecting rite 2 free spch and dem students not bin allowed to rite waht they wanna rite.

In the long run, trying to protect your creative works will be a losing process. I use my previous creations to gain new customers who appreciate the information that I don't share. That is the product/service I sell, and I use my years of writing to show a history of original opinion and beliefs. Anything I write for public consumption is merely a marketing tool to get people to hire me for real face-time -- I could care less if someone else found a better way to make money with my thoughts. Most of my thoughts are based on a lifetime of reading and thinking about what others say.
well, then the trouble might occur when someone plagiarizes what you do in "real face-time"... and for less.
to put it in a different light, let me introduce you to Kaavya Viswanathan. are you saying you would like to be Megan McCafferty, and lose a paycheck that should have been yours?
I would agree with this completely -- the best use of a semester would be to show students how to approach the organization of written information. This should actually be second nature to engineers, as they frequently are called upon to organize and categorize things, yet their writing tends to lack the clarity of purpose that a good writer brings through proper organization.
not intended as flamebait, but i dont see engineers organizing/categorizing things ever. engineers are builders and inventors! their desks will be cluttered forever.
organizing and categorizing sounds like something librarians and personal assistants would do most of their time.
Well, I do. Mostly because I'm an extension developer and I like to make sure that all of my extensions work with the latest version of Firefox, but also because I just find Firefox to be interesting software and news about it is almost never unwelcome on my screen. Slashdot is reserved regarding posting about Firefox compared to Digg, where even articles about speculation about point-releases are promoted to the front page almost immediately.
in that case, why not waste a couple of hours everyday on mozilla.org instead of slashdot.org?
... but more intelligent are the people who wont go to a page someone setup because they dont like the way it crashes their browser every single time. c'mon even if your friends myspaces are well designed, you are bound to go their friends pages (what with it beign a friends website and all) and one of those is destined to force quit your browser. leaving with no browser windows but only a choice whether you want to tell microsoft about it.
I dont think you quite get pipingguy's question. His question is not: isnt it easy to ask the depressed to cheer up? His question is: is it necessary to bring the *mildly* depressed back from depression? Why must everyone be absolutely cheerful so as to avoid a depression tag that hangs over their head? Ditto for homeless people.
In any case, TFA addresses severe depression, so his question stands unanswered.
"Hey, you're supposed to be working, what are you doing browsing profiles of 16 year old girls on MySpace?"
"I...er...I'm...um...I'm looking into possible crimes that these teenagers may have committed. Right. That's what I'm doing."
hehheh funny, now dont go post that on your myspace.

no seriously, how about speaking up to your party leaders to be as environment-friendly as you are? that's what talking with one's vote means.
you may be 6'7 and 280 lbs, but if you sound stupid and helpless and ultra sickly sweet, you are attended to immediately with utility services, paycheck troubles, credit card charges, government services, and everything else. except at job interviews, there it fails miserably.
sure he does, especially if you're talking about him..
hell even if we called it a pussypit, they'd object to it.. darfc

no that is not what he said.

Because they're totally gonna return it later..
