You know, some things never go out of style.

That would require federal legislation to authorize. They might get it, but it isn't as easy as just restructuring tuition and fees. After a couple of years and millions of dollars in lobbying they might get authorization to peoples IRS records.

At the school I go to, extra engineering costs are billed based on the course instead of your major. Everybody pays the same tuition for english classes, and everybody pays the same extra fees/credit hour if they take an engineering course. I expect this method to become dominant, otherwise there will be large numbers of "English" majors taking senior engineering courses.

If they want a percent of income after graduation, they will need to come up with some significant enforcement measures. Otherwise every STEM grad will be making 15k/year at McDonald's when they come asking.

They cut 2 billion from the DOD budget.

At 25? Elsewhere he would be sitting in a cubicle ala Dilbert.

For the military this is a big deal. Anything related to intelligence gathering or psychological operations are strictly prohibited from targeting US persons. Psy-Ops and Public Relations are different job classifications, the training is conducted at different locations, they are different units. They are kept strictly separate at all times by multiple laws and policies to ensure that no once can plausibly accuse the military of targeting US persons with propaganda. Even if the general was just looking for a way to tell the truth in a way that the audience would more readily appreciate, the military can plausibly be accused of propagandizing senators. This is, or should be, career ending every officer involved.

A duplexer allows the use of a single antenna for TX and RX, but the TX and RX must still happen on different frequencies, or in different time slots. This article would double the frequency spectrum capacity by allowing a two different two way conversations to exist in the spectrum used by a single duplex conversation today.

Capitalism also involves the most massive production of new wealth ever. A smaller piece of a bigger pie can be bigger than the big piece of a small pie. So, does capitalism redistribute wealth from workers to capitalists, or does it mean the capitalists get more of the new wealth than the workers?

The problem will come when there is a period of peace before the next war. The ammunition will be so expensive the guns will never be fired. When the soldiers go to the next war, if will be with weapons they have never actually fired. You can see this with the AT-4 in service now. It's pretty good for what it is, but very few soldiers have ever or will ever fire one, thus the actual effective range is no where close to what it is theoretically.

Your view of the urban battlefield was true in Iraq, not in Afghanistan.

Great scene from "All Creatures Great and Small", the knackers children were the healthiest in town.

She was no longer a clandestine operative when her name was leaked, and it was well known that she used to be an operative in her social circle. That's why no one was ever charged with a crime, the information was no longer secret when leaked.

How is this better than the global depression caused by sovereign defaults? The Germans won't keep paying to save the rest of Europe's banks and poorly run countries. They don't have enough money even if they wanted to.

This is why banks shouldn't have been bailed out in any country. If the bankers want to take stupid risks and make loans to people with no assets or income, let them. When those foolish loans fail the banks should fail as well. When they have to pay for their own mistakes the remaining bankers will make good investments. If bankers continue to make bad investments GOTO sentence 2.
