I think you might want to rethink that assumption. No definitive data, to be fair, but this: http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/05/02/geog.test/ "Inside the United States, "half or fewer of

I didn't think about the "pressure" of the survey, I must admit. Fair point. However, does the fact that if you don't know where the country in question is located, and out of war|no war, you choose war, not strike you a

Fair point about the 15 countries bordering Russia. I must have not been clear. What I was trying to say is, the least you can do is point towards Russia, if you don't know where Ukraine is.

Believe it or not, but there are many real people who point to UK, when asked where Finland is. The point is, if you know where Russia is, you likely know where Ukraine is. The clicking at random is by people who have no idea about either.

Many replies here try to dispute the methodology and UX in the survey. When it comes to geography, you either know it, or you don't. The distance from Ukraine for many data points is so big, that you can't possibly write it down t

Oh boy. I think you're somewhat over-exaggerating the situation. Yes, Russia has not been the most subtle in taking over Crimea, but I can say without a doubt that any of the major superpowers would do the same if a country nearby were

I agree with you; tech hubs are extremely important, which is where Europe seems to be lagging behind. I just think the reason they ARE lagging behind is because US is considered the default country to go for starting a business, without se

The seriousness of the conflict depends on where you get your information, sadly. The situation geopolitically seems pretty simple, in broad strokes. Too bad there's unfounded scaremongering on both sides(or should I say 3 or 4 sides).

1) Who are you selling it to? Can you find a buyer instantly? 2) Buying a product or whatever with the aim of selling/flipping it means your money is tied up in your product.

If it's so classic, care to explain why the autism rate has risen so much(long term)? If a disease that gets diagnosed based on a spectrum of behavioral cues is on the rise, could you maybe consider that people are just quicker to blam

Right. Care to share the scientific details of how ASD/ADHD/ADD is classified, since you're such an expert? Abnormalities in a kid do not instantly indicate a disorder. Yet doctors are quick to prescribe adderall to the first

Well, how about not diagnosing your kid with autism just because he's an uncontrollable little bastard, just to justify your bad parenting?(This includes ADD, ADHD, ASD). That should bring the stat down. Qualifier: not all obviously, b

I guess it is. It sounds wrong to me as well, but there's only so much performance you can fit into certain hours. Thus, more hours are bound to become the norm, in my opinion.

1) No such thing as long hours for the sake of it. It's always to get more "done". And like I mentioned in my parent post, there's no such thing after a certain number of hours. 2)I don't believe it's possible

I don't see how this is relevant. What we're discussing is the subjective perception of both agencies. NSA has most of their programs exposed, as opposed to the PLA, and yet the public still gives NSA the benefit of the doubt. Now

Sorry, my bad. Qualitatively, it is. But qualitative statements are of literally no value. It's all gut instinct. Of course you'd like to think that the US can take moral high ground over the Chinese.
