I can't believe this right-wing propaganda got modded this highly. Here is Krugman talking about the imminent collapse in late 2007 (before it happened) and it's ALL about credit default swaps enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XhvG_fD0HA

It's actually infinitely more functionality.

I would say that the parents get what they deserve providing the school has done its due diligence. There should be a paper trail a mile long demonstrating that the "little jackass" hasn't lifted a finger all year.

Effect can be a transitive verb too. As in: I want to effect a better understanding of grammar by responding to your post.

Great post - I would have written something similar if I hadn't come to this story late. It would be really instructive and enlightening if the TradElect system architecture could be revealed so we could learn where the real issues were.

I think it is ridiculous to expect people to necessarily learn to play guitar just to play a game. However, I can never really enjoy GH/RB because I can play guitar too well and having to learn another way to "play" the songs seems really redundant. That is to say I wish they had the game for real guitar - much like Singstar or Lips for vocals. OTOH I love driving and racing simulation games - so - horses for courses.

And our numbers come from the Arabic world whereby the number of lines represent the count, i.e. 1 - one stick 2 - two sticks (one curved) 3 - three sticks (one straight across the top) 4 - four sticks 5 - five sticks 6 - six sticks etc.

The main value of an IDE is having a Window Editor and being able to step through with the debugger. Although a window editor doesn't really help you very much in Java!! http://madbean.com/anim/totallygridbag/.

If the web was really going to focus on "performance" the W3C should start working on a precompiled_bytecode tag. Thus alleviating the browser from munging though all that text and then compiling. (Re-posted because I can't have angled brackets in plain-old-text how lame.)

"On The Origin Of Species" was a populist book also. From the wikipedia article: "The book was written to be read by non-specialists..." There was also a very interesting NPR show a couple of weeks ago about Darwin's life which went into how Darwin probably was writing the book for his wife who was adamantly against his theories.

I believe this is the crux of the issue for most people. Most people don't care about the source code they are using to modify a document. However, they do care if at some point in the future the document is un-editable in ANY software package. I believe the establishment of fully open and standard document formats is critical for the future growth of information technology. It seems we have many commercial forces at work (RIAA, MS, Comcast, etc.) trying to limit the usage and growth of technology for their own profit (no surprise) and open document formats (for word processors, audio and video, etc.) is one of the most important areas.
