Every time I see a study like this, I reverse the premise and see if it makes sense. In this case, I would ask this. Instead of poverty cause low brain development, does low brain development cause poverty. I would argue that much of IQ is inherited, either through nature or nurture. To put it bluntly, stupid parents tend to have stupid kids. Its also clear that a lower IQ very much limits your earning potential - thus puts your family in poverty.
So, I think this study is balogne. All it says is poor people tend to be on the lower end of the IQ scale, and so are their kids.
I grew up near Altoona. Google maps says 3 miles from the site of the data center. There is no chance of flooding in Altoona. As the name suggests, its a relatively high spot - and not near any rivers' flood plain. The biggest threat is tornadoes. Not nearly as much as Oklahoma, but we still have them. Look up Parkersburg, IA tornado of 2008 for a near town-wide leveling by an EF5 tornado.
Your cable costs $20. I still say you are over paying by a factor of 4!. This cable is 1/4 the price of your cable at $5.00, and I'm sure will deliver the same quality picture.
The person who wrote the summary probably wants to create a dip in Tesla stock prices so he can buy-in cheaper. The other note I want to make is that one of the reasons that the roadster must be discontinued is that Lotus is discontinuing its Elise that the roadster is based on, so unless they start making their own chassis, Tesla has no choice but to discontinue their roadster. Now, with the Model S, they aren't reliant on anybody else for the chassis, so they should be in better shape.
My co-worker's husband had a LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) implanted in his chest called the HeartMate II. It took enough work away from his heart that he had no pulse. The EMTs had to be trained that if they responded to a call for him, he would have no detectable pulse.
Now this is different in that it didn't replace his heart, but its a continuous pump, and results in no pulse.
While I tend to agree that increasing electricity production will have little effect on the liquid fuel (oil) crisis, there are 2 legitimate arguments to support the opposite.
1. If you replaced the natural gas power plants with nuclear, or solar, or wind, etc, natural gas could potentially be used to directly power cars. See the Honda Civic GX. 20% of the world's electricity comes from natural gas.
2. If pure electric cars (like the Mitubishi iMiEV & Subaru R1e) were to come to market, generating more electricity would reduce demand for gasoline.
The first thing I thought when I saw the EEE was "Cool, but I bet you could put a much bigger screen on that thing!" And now I see this guy hacking the EEE, and he doesn't put a bigger screen in it? or even mention the possibility!
I think that's the first thing I'd do. Problem being, my hands are too shaky for soldering small things.:(
I'll tell you how I did it. I moved to a small town. Be willing to work for less money, Work somewhere where they can't afford to pay for an experienced manager.
I commute from a city to a small town an hour away. They can't get decent IT/IS people here because the good people commute or move to the city for more money. Put in your time making less money for a non-profit and/or small town company, and get something good to put on your resume, and then you can be pickier about your employer.
FYI, If you don't have people skills, you'll never be a IT/IS manager.
Because the Mini can't output 1080i over YPbPr Component Video. Many early HDTV adopters, like myself, are stuck with TVs that can't take ANY progressive scan inputs, and have no DVI, HDMI, or any other modern connector. My Zenith C34W23 falls into that catagory.
Assuming you don't change your major at the end of the first semester, the very next semester would be would be called "Maintenance." It would go something like this.
Take the most poorly developed project from the first semester, and now each student must now fix all the bugs in the software without re-writing it. Make sure the variables are totally meaningless like "x", "y" and the like. Also make sure the program does lovely things like query a huge database table, and then loop through each record programatically and query another table within the loop instead of using those new confangled "JOIN" and "WHERE" SQL statements.
The difference here being that Microsoft Internet explorer is an integrated part of Windows, and is inseparable from the operating system, while Safari (if you want to compare apples to apples) is "just another app" within OS X. As far as I know, you can remove Safari from OS X with no adverse affects on the operating system as a whole.
If you want to talk about bundling the OS with the hardware, there's a big difference there, in that Apple makes both the hardware and the software (I know that Apple doesn't actually manufacture CPU's etc, but they sell an assembled product with the Apple name on it), and Microsoft is not in the hardware business - for the most part (I say as I'm typing on a Microsoft branded keyboard).
Anyway, with bundling the OS with the hardware is the Microsoft is throwing their weight around and blackmailing PC manufacturers to bundle EVERY computer they sell with Microsoft's operating system, where Apple is not involved is such blackmail with other hardware manufacturers.

except I was told that the reason was that you won't be smiling when the cop pulls you over. Now I know the real reason.
Herman Cain has a Masters in Computer Science from Purdue. Not in charge, but leading the Republican pack as of this writing.

If I were you, I'd go to eBay and buy a use Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 (search for "toughbook 29"). Should be well under $1000

When I saw the headline, the switcher girl that came to my mind was Janie Porche. Much cuter than Ellen!

On a side note, it REALLY bothers me when people call gambling "gaming". Call it what it is; Gambling. say it: "Gambling"! SAY IT!
