They compared males only to make things clearer, since comparig males and females would also bring up a sex-derived difference in IQ scores (women are much better at algebra while males do a lot better at geometry, and so on).
Well, at about $5000 per workstation, that would be about 1,000 computers to lose. That much hardware doesn't simply 'walk.' Plus the paperwork doesn't just disappear, ever!
Who wants to bet the obsolete equipment was delivered straight to a landfill, and the money split threeway between the IBM higherups, the police/mafia, and the legislature (plus a little something to keep the schoolboard and the auditors happy)?
3. Extended warranty for laptops - Do it for as long as you feasibly see using your laptop, and include accidental. Two years is typically the lifecycle from "new product" to "no longer produced/no more refurbs" though YMMV. Once your model is off the refurb site, drop it. Voila! New laptop. The standard warranty will not cover any screen defects.
That's not "keeping people honest," that's encouraging fraud and abuse of the warranty system. Also see their suggestion on how to get Dell reps to steal printer ink for you ("offer cash")
I am curious, would the fanboys like you also praise satan for adopting FOSS/linux to control the fuel delivery and batch-processing of the new arrivals?
How can we allow China (the country with the fastest rate of increase in oil consumption and a self-proclaimed US of A enemy) to meddle with a number two oil producer in our backyard?
Why do they want to come right now? The truth is that right now, America is about the best place there is for a smart and/or enterprising person to live in (but poor/blue collar-- not so much). What's stopping them is that it's damn hard to get in right now.
And before you bash Bush please to learn that he has doubled NIH funding since coming into office. Doubled it!
Don't underestimate the diesel-electric subs. In their electric mode they are about the most quiet sub out there. Also, the tubes and CRTs are essentially immune to EMP compared to the transistor-based electronics.
And the border thing would go both ways too: you guys could probably lure over 25% of our populace just by opening the borders and spreading the word.
What was that thing Asimov said about human knowledge? I cannot find it now but it went something like "lighting a candle anywhere will make it bridghter everywhere?"
Unfortunately, nationalism and scaremongering is how we get most of our funding. It shouldn't be like that but it is. Perhaps if it's for the good of the humanity, we should say one thing and do another?
Here is a fun factoid for you: 5% of your user population will consume 95% of your support services (give or take).
Are those 5% also the ones who are easily hamstrung by a 'thick foreign accent?' If so, hiring foreigners might actually save the company some serious cash.

Yes, no, and yes.
Since the late 1700's more people have been killed by a lightning than died due to a terrorist attack. Where is the War on Weather I ask you!
But every incremental Firefox upgrade or a plugin tweak making it to the front page is Stuff that Matters?

Fortune for you!
The future of anti-laser defence: smoke and mirrors?
Maybe he cannot open a bank account legally (e.g. 'illegal' immigrant without a SS# and a valid photo ID)?
For what it's worth, it's not Christian to keep an interest-bearing bank account of any kind. Same might apply to Islam (though I am not too sure).
That's what you get for trying to install a 2007 distro on a pre-1998 hardware.
As anticlimactic as it might sound, you just won't be able to find a GUI OSS that works quite as well as windows 98 on these older machines.
No money? About 20 years ago somebody stole $5 million, and today either the school district or IBM will have to pay it back.

You are right, it just cannot be done with the current tech. Muscle atrophy, deossification, drop in hemoglobin count, things like that...
Reproduction is out of the question in space, too, since the embryos are usually severely disfigured in zero G (hence sex is a big no-no up there).
Well, come to think of it, they did have the Shuttle all scratched up, and some of the computers went down for no apparent reason.

Whatever the fuck happened to Monroe Doctrine?

It didn't matter who invented it first. It mattered that both sides got it about the same time.

So invite those engineers and scientists over here, what's the problem?
'They' keep the manufacturing while we keep the 'best and the brightest.'
Endor is where there are those short hairy aboriginal ewoks? And ewoks look like little chewbaccas?
I am confused, are you implying that Chewbacca is a paedophile or the conspiracy nuts are paedophiles?

Would you rather it link to a clickthrough article split into 6-page parts each with 3 popups each?

My heart bleeds for the poor Native Americans. Them, and some AfroAmericans whose ancestors were brought in by force.
