I think answers like this border on asinine. We're in a recession with double-digit unemployment. How easy would it be for him to find another job? If the curreny job really is malignant, then how likely is it a positive letter of recommendation will come from them? Relocation costs money. Uprooting the family is a drain on happiness. In all likelihood, the wife/mom is probably employed too. You'd need to find two jobs in the same locale.

It's easy to just say "go get another job" but it's another thing entirely to pull off.

Sounds like a good use for interrogation rooms...

I wonder why China never thought of securing their systems more tightly. Surely they must have realized that retaliation would come their way at some point, no? I mean, aside from the fact secure systems are usually preferably to ones that are not...

Quit your (please learn the difference betwen your and you're) bitchin'. What type of school are you talking about? I've seen medical school stats and white males are in 3rd place behind Asians and white females in GPA and test scores. That probably holds true for most other types of schools, as well. And yet...white males are pretty much the major group at most medical schools, corporations, hospitals, etc. I am a white male and not a minority, BTW.

As a relatively young MD/PhD student I've noticed that there are relatively few Americans in any of the PhD programs at my university. My perspective is from the biomedical sciences, but still. Most are Chinese or Indian students and most of the American students are already planning for industry, consulting, or some other non-research job. I would also add that e) stressing about writing grants every few years and progress reports for those grants every year - is a deterrent for continuing a career in science.

If you're really Jewish, you probably know Chanukkah isn't a big deal in terms of Jewish holidays. The fact that it occurs around Christmas time in a heavily-Christian-influenced society has moved it towards the generally meaningless, consumer-driven holiday it is now. Real Jews don't taint their important holidays with that crap (see Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana).

Pew! Pew!

Sure sounds like some kind of phishing scam to me! What are we paying these companies for again?

I agree to a point, but TV is so central to the US way of life that you're somewhat deficient in cultural literacy if you don't watch TV. Therefore, I maximize my, uh... "education" by watching TV shows about other TV shows like The Soup and TMZ. That, plus the internet allows me the appearance of watching TV 8 hours a day while still working 70+ hours a week. :)

Is there a useful purpose for this list in the first place? It isn't likely to useful to THAT many people...

This is obviously the "killer" feature of the phone!

Is there a reason they designed the phone to look like a remote control or a weird pager? At least the other phones have some added capabilities to make up for the uncomfortable form factor. They might as well have put some more thought into making it comfortable to use in addition to ease-of-use.

People get up in arms when it comes to RACIAL profiling, which is stupid and ineffective. BEHAVIORAL profiling works wonders. See Ben Gurion airport for details.
