Impeachment might be seen as a serious option if it hadn't been brought up about a 100 times by partisans since 2008. "Wolf" has been cried too many times.

I'd love to have something good enough to back up large amounts of data without burning through a stack of CDs or DVDs. Does the technology have to be driven by the entertainment industry?
Combat flying is probably quite a bit different. I'm just an air warfare buff, so I have no firsthand knowledge but fighter pilots are very focused on what's going on outside the cockpit. They have to learn to scan for aircraft w/ or w/o a radar cue, tactics that are all about your position in relation to other aircraft, and obviously using weapon systems.
A coworker interned with the military on some secret missile tech 15 years ago (I suspect he was working with HARM trajectories from what I could glean) and he said the guys who ran the simulators were far better at evading SAMs than actual pilots because of all the sim time they had. Come to think of it, he said the actual pilots were pretty abysmal at evading them which is a tactic best rehearsed on a simulator!

So, no one would see a problem with advertising for employment towards women being skewed to promote jobs as teachers and secretaries while reducing job advertisements for managers and doctors?
So, you're saying is the Feds could use a nice, piping hot cup of Java to get moving?

How about regulating them?
I think it's a little more subtle than that. It's not that we reward wrong behavior. We simply don't really punish people in these kinds of situations enough to deter doing wrong. And, that punishment scale is based on how much money or influence your parents might have.
Here in Kansas, we had a group of high school kids get busted a few years ago buying essays. The teacher flunked them all, but the parents went to the school board and pressured them into giving the kids passing grades. You can be assured it wasn't an inner city school. We've become a nation of cynics.
Years back I read that NASA uses older, battle tested chips rather than going with cutting edge hardware that might crap out on you from an obscure bug.
Business relationships color the news for all outlets; even NPR and PBS now have "sponsors." About 10 years ago I was watching I think CNBC when RFK Jr. started talking about poor environmental practices of GE, the parent company. The hosts actually shushed him and they immediately cut to commercial. When they came back, RFK Jr. was gone...
I'm in KC and when "lower end" fiber services in the 24 Mbps range started appearing, so many people started flocking to them that the entrenched service provider started offering better deals. Of course, this didn't happen until they were hammered with defections.

At least from my observations, most people think the guys going to college in the states from overseas came here on a raft. In fact, all of the foreign students I met were from well-off to outlandishly rich families (3 Saudis I met of a group of maybe 10). The poor foreigners are the guys doing the lowest-rung work in our economy while the middle class guys are those small shop or restaurant owners. I'd say at least 95% of the foreign students I've met meet my description.
Some of us can't even share our wifi with our tablets for free.
