Half the population will always have sub-median intelligence. That is what median means.

That said, I believe that we will have a stronger society if we focus on elevating the lower educated to a higher educated state. I do not want to create a permanent underclass of semi- or un-skilled labor supporting the higher class's state of near permanent leisure.

Let's be honest. The self respecting nerds left /. years ago.

Fun you should ask. It seems there is detailed law covering just that case. http://www.childcarelaw.org/do...

Or were you being sarcastic?

It's a fraudulent contract. How would that not be a crime?
It's an unlicensed hotel. How would that not be a crime?

White collar crimes are still crimes.

Slashdot was never good.

You have to be crazy to go. If you are crazy, they won't send you.

Or you could send a robot and save on spinning spacecraft, food, water, air, and fuel to provide/propel all the above.

FTFY.

I have zero need for additional paper weights, door stops, and ash trays. I might be more interested when they (a) provide isotropic materials, (b) provide better precision, and (c) provide (a) and (b) at a lower cost.

Spooky. That is exactly the ratio of tau to pi.

Still off by a factor of almost 400 years. If you read the referenced paper, there is no mention of hunting large land animals or of mammoths at all. Sounds like original research (unsupported by facts, no less) on the part of the Wikipedia author.

Furthermore of all the radiocarbon dating, the most ambitious date is 1750 BCE. Still 400 years too early for J. Random Eskimo to stick a harpoon in his side. Do you have anything that suggests earlier humans or later Mammoths?

Since most solution algorithms are a database attack, I imagine it will kick out as a non-valid position (i.e. not in the database).

While there appears to be broad agreement that Mammoths did exist on Wrangel as recently as 2000 BCE (4000 years ago), I cannot find any scholarly research to suggest that they co-existed with humans; or if they did, that they were hunted by those humans.

Can you offer more recent research?

Why has Government spending as a % of GDP taken a nosedive?

Might want to check those talking points, they appear to be about four years out of date.
