... Around here (Toronto, Canada) you can send your kids to whatever school you want...
There is a system similar to that here (UK). I'm not sure if I would be willing to send my kids 40 miles to school each day though.
The teachers and the parents are, together (along with the pupil), the most important people in deciding the educational path they take. If that part was done properly, then the parents wouldn't have to make their kids travel all over. They would have a vested interest in their local school.
... Competition. Real competition. To win, you must continuously improve yourself. Significant innovation and progress is risky, and is generally awarded...
That is true if you assume a system where higher money / results / population is the aim.
We are forgetting something. Education is about finding a pupils strengths and weaknesses, giving them the resources to excel in their strengths and the encouragement to take risks and cope with failure in their weaker subjects.
Education is not just a process or service. Teachers have to build trust / relationships with their pupils in order to discover the pupils strengths and weaknesses. Things like that are not necessarily measurable by the bean counters.
You buy it, perhaps wait a few days, put the movie on. It doesn't work!!!
You call the company:
"When did you purchase it sir?"
"err, 72 hours ago"
"That'll be why then"
"I only opened it this evening"
"Really sir. Perhaps you didn't and you are just trying to con us. Please stay on the phone while the MAFIAA police break down your front door"
... why there is so little antimatter in our part of the universe...
Surely antimatter can only exist for as long as it doesn't hit matter and since matter exists everywhere (even in the (near) vacuum of space) then that's an extremely short time period (milliseconds? if that).
This would mean they wouldn't exist much anywhere in the universe, never mind just "our" part.
Just occoured to me: Are they claiming that the laws of physics could be different in "our" part of the universe?
Perhaps someone with a little more knowledge on this topic could explain.
It's not hard to change it back.
Just run the browser of choice and it will now show a message saying it's not the default then click OK, make it the default.
I think part of the reason is that MS seem to have given up their fight, a little, to become the browser of choice. They seem to be spending less time trying to create their own DOM structures etc.
They are probably concentrating on developing new products and getting Windows V#@$a working rather than spending lots of developers time getting the minutiae of browser compliance working.
Why is it that web designers and developers...... use a browser that most of their users won't?
Because there are many many plugins to assist with debugging JavaScript, XHTML compliance, AJaX, Accessibility Issues and many other problems that occour.
Anyway, you should be writing to standards, not browsers. Write to the standards first (FF much more compliant) then test in other less compliant browsers.

What does it matter?
Surely you don't mean?:
Please tell me you are not saying that!?!
WTF?!?! Does that even make sense?
Yes I did. Straight-to-DVD is used as a polite way of saying a film is crap, so people aint going to rent it anyway.
So, actually, the question is, why was there more matter than anti-matter to start with? Is that right?
Another thought, if there is another part of the universe with mostly anti-matter, wouldn't they call our part anti-matter?
Wouldn't the antimatter galaxy just negate the same amount of matter around it?
How will the customers prove it.

They more than make their investment back from the theatre takings (quite often in the first weekend for the bog blockbusters).
WTF?!?
I can do that with a cheaper rented DVD that doesn't degrade.

Funny! And your method would have to be part of a singleton class too! :-)

Anyone who regularly updates firefox will probably have FF as there default anyway.
Perhaps, but you'd have to weight the figures for reliability/bias etc...
That's where the "Next Month" bit comes in.
damn, how come I missed that! ;0{
Not quite true.

Ooops, something wrong there. Need to fix those pesky bugs. :-)
No, but it was a mis-quote from the article.
really?
