Obviously we're not investing enough in teaching reading.
Have you ever paid corporate taxes? If you have, and you paid taxes on your gross - again, so sorry you can't read.
One....more....time....you aren't paid out of after-tax money. Wages are expenses, profit is what is left over after wages & other expenses are paid.
Which is why MOST US corps
as McCain proposed, is also income re-distribution - from taxpayers to banks who hold failed/failing mortgages.
But McCain didn't say how he was going to pay for this multi-trillion dollar re-distribution program, between his tax cuts and lack of significant spending cuts, the only way would be increased Govt. borrow - which is also income redistribution - from taxpayers to the Chinese.
We evolved in a world where it took about 20 hours/week to get everything we needed. People that bent their head down over a big leaf scratching symbols for very long got eaten by lions.
Pretty much, we're evolved to be beach bums, and all this 60 hour weeks doing the same thing in the same place all day long is a mental illness we only lapsed into in the last 10,000 years, a bare millesecond in evolutionary time.
I blame it on the women, myself - she kept complaining about the skin hut falling down until finally he got p'o'd and went figured out how to build with wood and stone just to get some peace.
But then he couldn't move the hut anymore, and he had to start planting grasses and tubers around the hut for food. Then his buddy's wife made him build a stone hut next door, then her friends got on their men, and pretty soon you had a town, and that was the end of the good old days...its been little pink houses ever since.
McCain, I didn't have a problem with before Palin.
Now, I'm really afraid - he's going to be what 76 by the end of his term?
And if Palin takes over - I'm really worried she will shift funding to search for evidence that humans and dinosaurs co-existed... talk about a road to nowhere...
Whatever you think all those ';'s in the USC are for, congress can't provide for either the common defense or the general welfare without supporting science.
The technological lead we currently enjoy was built by massive government investment in the sciences during the 50s, 60s and 70s, and we can lose it just as 'easily' as we gained it -both the Europeans and the Chinese are getting set to eat the US for breakfast technologically - by massive centrally managed investment in..... science.
A/slight/ increase in global temperature results in a/slight/ increase in sea level (a mere 20-40 feet) as Greenland and Antartic ice melts. The/slight/ increase in sea level is a bit of a problem for the 100s of millions of people who live/slightly/ above sea level.
California is just being self interested here really, as if only a/slight/ percentage of the people displaced by global warming move to California, our population will/slightly/ double or triple.

funny they are now with hardware and design--the sharp edges on Macbooks, the lack of a tablet format, and the lack of external keyboards for iPhones.
But OS wise, Apple doesn't need Leopard to run rings around Vista, and Vista's problems can't be fixed any time soon.
Vista suffers from fundamental flaws (for instance my new dual 2.1 ghz core, 2 GB tablet is slower than my old 1.5 ghz, 1 gb tablet - with the hardware folks more than doubling the system resources, Vista frequently goes to 50% resource use when idle--no programs (that I started:-() running.
And this is with all the transparency stuff and 3D UI cr*p turned off 8-0. I don't think this can be fixed with a patch -- it would take a complete re-write...an MS has a bad history with that.
MS OS quality has been on a consistent downward path since Win 2k, without fundamental change in Redmond it's likely that Vista's patches and successors will be even worse - Vista feels like a pre-quel, with Jar-Jar, when dubbing him out won't really take care of the underlying decline...
They think chevrontexaco is an MMORPG rather than a MMOOPC (massive mult-national offline oil producting company).
It is true that the upper levels of Chevron Texaco seem to regard US Dollars as about as real and Linden dollars & a world where you can buy scientific findings is something of a virtual world--obviously MacDonald feels that she can change a bird's nesting range by fiat, certainly seems she sees her role as more of a dungeon master than a steward.
this document was very likely emailed to hundreds of people in draft form before it was published. This is exactly the kind of thing that this file sharing technology produces!
Most likely it was done with the evilister of all evils on the axis-MS Outlook, this should be banned from any public computer and it's authors taken to federal court for the harm they have wrought on our system with their 'Exchange' technology!
Dumb people have more children than smart people, especially when there is a natural abundance of food and shelter and intelligence offers no real reproductive benefit.
The evidence seems to suggest that homo habilis was doing just fine with his brain size (in a world where no animal can make a pointed stick, the one with a pointed stick is king).
Are 'those people' "dumb", or do they lack opportunity to show their smarts in the standard ways society measures?
Remember, there are a very low (and dropping) # per capita from the poorest classes who make it into our top universities. They may be really smart at surviving 'on the street' where most pH.d.s wouldn't last 5 minutes, and it's a tradegy (and an economic stultifier) that they aren't using their smarts to work on the 200mpg engine and other things we'll probabably be leaving it to China to invent.
My company would like to incorporate Open Source Software into our proprietary software (e.g., include the Sakai Course Management System as part of a commercially-licensed software package). We won't be charging for the portion that contains the Open Source Software but will be charging for our proprietary portion. Is my company covered by this pledge?
No. To the extent that any proprietary software is Bundled with the Open Source Software, this pledge would not apply. However, if your customers wish to supplement or enhance your proprietary product with Open Source Software which is not Bundled by you, that would be covered. Blackboard believes this pledge provides a strong incentive for developers to continue building extensions to proprietary solutions as well as to enhance standards such as those promulgated by IMS, while allowing schools to accomplish all of its information technology goals.
You can't really 'beat' Wolverine, of course, he just keeps coming back. Eventually, Batman's technology would run out of charge and his armor would be shredded, and he would be toast.
Of course he would talk Wolverine down long before that, and they'd go get a few dozen pints...
Of course Wolverine would also be able to out drink the Bat, but Batman would hook up with the best looking babe in the joint and take off before that ("wanna shee my basht mobeeel"), and Wolverine would get pissed and beat the cr*p out of everyone left at last call.
M$ is 'intelligent design', and FLOSS is punctuated equilibrium.

Why not HTML? Does anyone else see the problem here?
Well I do, PDFs kill my laptop, more than a few open and it just dies. And they don't seem to give back their memory when Acrobate.exe is quit. Maybe I'm my own irony-do pdfs work better on Linux than they do on X(pletitive)P?

Thus the first phase of the project plan is to show that they can lock it up & retard copying (for most users most of the time).
The second phase will be to buy the content producers & the content. Then they will start seriously blocking YouTube, etc.
People think Google is just being cute with Android, but it is actually survival.

Corps are taxed on profit - what is left over AFTER they pay you.

We don't _know_ what keeps all the air from floating off into space.
There is this _theory_ of gravity, but it is 'just a theory'. We can't 'prove' it anymore than we can 'prove' the greenhouse effect.
etc. Sciences requires a testable explanation for why and how of the flying spaghetti monster, which no religion can provide.
it says if evolution exists, you are a big monkey ;-p.
