There, fixed that for you.

And I didn't mean to be redundantly redundant. Title should read "This story has been posted before."

At least, I think. There are some minor differences. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/07/13/1527242/bill-gates-looks-to-reinvent-the-toilet

Seriously. Agreed.

I've never understood why anyone would create a Gnome/KDE theme that imitated Motif. Motif is one of the ugliest, most horrible abominations to pass for a widget toolkit that I have ever seen.

You mean, because things on China fall off the back of the earth? That would never work - your frame of reference is all wrong. Antarctica is the bottom of the world.

The money will only do any good if there are people like the ones volunteering at the soup kitchen, already in places and situations where they can use the money for greater good. If there's no one who can use the money in a constructive manner, the money will probably get wasted.

In "The Man Who Was Thursday" by G.K. Chesterton, a detective infiltrates an anarchist meeting and finds out that he is a more persuasive anarchist than the anarchist leaders, and gets elected leader. He goes on to find out that most of the other anarchist leaders are also undercover cops, trying to infiltrate the organization.

So... since fiction is always true, I contend that anarchy is probably just a bunch of people who are trying to infiltrate anarchy.

My bad - physical science principles are taught all of the way through elementary and middle school in the U.S. So 9th grade isn't early. That's when you'd get a dedicated course in physical science.

Wait... so this person is teaching it? Or the kid's parents? Or the other grandparents?

If I were going to teach chemistry to my grandkid, it would be different from trying to spark interest in chemistry. If I have grandkids someday, I'll be getting them toys like DNA/skeletal/atomic model manipulatives. My brother got a set of atom manipulatives once for school (disclaimer: I was homeschooled), and they're incredibly addicting to play with, even if you're not building molecules out of atoms and sticks. Watching videos about dropping gummy bears in potassium chloride or pouring thermite on computer hard drives helps, too.

But if I were going to teach homeschool chemistry, I'd make sure that I introduce physical science early in school (like, 9th grade), and consult my college chemistry textbook when teaching chemistry. This would be hard if you've never learned chemistry. Some homeschooling curriculums offer video courses, and some homeschool groups get together and go to an actual high school facility for these classes. I'd recommend this to anyone who hasn't had chemistry, but is faced with teaching it.

How long before AT&T follows suit?

A commission set up to evaluate the work done by Barack Obama's commission tasked with evaluating the work of Congress in evaluating the Deepwater Horizon incident has given the commission a rating of 'C', or barely satisfactory, for their evaluation of Congress evaluating the Deepwater Horizon spill.

I own a complete set of the 1958 Encyclopedia Americana. I do not own it because it is up-to-date, and I got it for free. I keep it because it reminds me of how quickly the sum of human knowledge changes. Many people would consider this a waste of space for what is only a sentimental reason.

In 1958, this was probably one of the best summaries of human knowledge available.
