"None of these locales are places where coastal redwoods grow naturally...". Does that not make them imported invasive species and should be removed immediately from those areas?

New Headline: Astronomer does bad theology.

Why not club together with your fellow employees to collectively purchase stock in the company that you work for? That way, you can force issues at the board level when management comes up for re-election.

I read that quote at the end as: "we are using all the latest buzzwords!"

This very much reminds me of Leonid Kantorovich. One of the few Soviet economists to win the Nobel Prize in Economics (1975).

I guess the writer hasn't read this yet then?

Shooting the messenger is always such a great idea. [/sarcasm]

Two children enter the standardized testing center; one child leaves!

Given the fact money is unevenly distrubuted through the school systems, thanks to local property taxes, some teachers must buy basic supplies for their own students. Laptops will not fix the funding problems. We need a more stable source of revenue than local bond and property taxes. Once these schools get something more akin to a real amount of money to spend on educating their charges can we then even contemplate giving them laptops or chromebooks or whatever. Let's deal with the underlying problems first rather than throwing solution du jour at them.

This sounds like the Bomber Gap or the Missle Gap all over again.

I would love to see physicists stop writing garbage like this which is completely ignorant of the literature it purports to analyse. There are so many problems with the basic data gathering here that I don't know where to even start.

The University of Chicago has already just done this.

Have a look at tar and it's "multi-volume" option.

The only way to fix the patent problem is to shove GOBS OF MONEY down the throats of ever hungry politicians and their banks.
