I kinda agree with you. Most people in Mexico sadly don't care about learning, and the rich people don't want the underclass to get proper education. Also the government is quite corrupt.
But I strongly disagree with "vast majority are totally illiterate peasants whose main ambition in life is to come to the US to pick fruit for $.05/hour and live 30 to an apartment". (This is a minor nitpick, but as a Mexican that interacts with a lot of Mexicans I gotta say that you got that wrong).
I agree that the people shouldn't call it a "victory". I guess it's better than nothing, though.
Completely off-topic: What ever happened to the "could/couldn't care less" thread? Shall we start it now?:P
So, let me see...
For the record, gifted children are not a monoculture. There are some gifted children who listen to heavy metal to deal with stress of being a teenager. Nice. There are also gifted children who don't listen to heavy metal, and heavy metal listeners that aren't gifted. But TFA says
Researchers found that, far from being a sign of delinquency and poor academic ability, many adolescent "metalheads" are extremely bright and often use the music to help them deal with the stresses and strains of being gifted social outsiders. So yes, many (not all) gifted children listen heavy metal... and there could be (are) gifted children who don't.
Simply put: I didn't get what you tried to say.
But I'm walking from reading your comment slightly less mentally gifted.
Perhaps they only outlawed Apple's because it's the most popular there, and they are trying to "attack" DRM with the most influyent seller. If the most popular online music store changes its policy, well then pretty much any other will have to (which one would you prefer, DRM or not-DRM?)
Just a thought.
Although I think this is a bit extreme, I believe that there are times that you just feel like reading something (even when taking a dump) related to your work.
I know I don't, but there are people that actually enjoy they work.
Well, if we are talking about the real numbers, then we know that they conform a field. Now, if we add another element and a property such as infinity = 1/0, while trying to preserve the already existing structure, then the following problem takes place:
1/0 means that 1 is being divided by zero, but if a number is divided by zero it means it is being multiplied by the (multiplicative) inverse of zero. But, because we are trying to keep the real numbers a field, 0*(0^-1) = 1. Thus, if we multiply this time both sides by, say, 2, we have 1*2 = 2 = 2*0*(0^-1)= 0*(0^-1) = 1. Then if X E R, then X = 1, including the zero. We then have that R = {1} (In this case the 1 is the multiplication identity and the additive identity).
So he must be breaking some convention at some place if he claims that he can divide by zero without severely affecting the real numbers as a set.

Come on, now. Even in the summary they mention the word 'Civilization'. Rings any bells?
Come on, not every geek/nerd likes anime. I know I do.
Unless by "Eureka Seven" you mean "Linux" or "Beowulf Cluster", or something like that.
So the owner is not a slashdotter? Shame on you! :P
1. Try to cite every tired joke.
2. Miss this one.
3. ????
4. Profit!
Yeah, me neither. Instead of anime, you should try with something related to that linux thing. This guys seem to find it very interesting. :P

...does it run lin-- oh, nevermind.
Please, this time let the moon shoot first, dammit!
So you were the one who sent the chainsaws instead of jackhammers, eh?
I, for one, welcome our new gelatinous basement-dwelling overlords!
I mean, all those gears and counterweights can't be that slow, now can they? Wait...
It means that Microsoft is stuck in the pipes, obviously.
What would have Turing to say about this...

Well... perhaps it may work with your girlfriend: "Keep going, and reach the GIANT SQUID!" (of course most probably we're exaggerating here...)
So... 40 years later "Ultraman...Forever" arrives. Let's see if DN...Forever can break their record.
You must be new here... that's not the way it is.
They should try drawing a Trog Dor with that thing.
