Many jobs require a degree. Those jobs that only require you to wear a suit don't care what the degree is in. Now if your future job only depends on your grade - not the subject which would you choose? Studying maths/physics/etc for 4years

That's a bit unfair. You have to give them a chance, they only just got democracy - it takes a while to build up a military-industrial complex.

You're forgetting people in with houses to offload and banks with foreclosed $1M homes that they might want to make 50% return on.

But if nobody had debt you couldn't have savings - well you could but the bank would charge you for storing them rather than paying you interest.

So if everybody in the country had a masters degree people would all earn 2.5x as much? Obviously an increase in PhD programs in french-fry frying would raise incomes even further.

We spend $8Bn on some new stealth fighters. We only ever use them against countries with no air defences. So the fighters never get 'used up' so there are massive job losses at BAe. The traditional option was to fight a competent enemy - b

It would make more sense for Nato to attack Saudi/UAE/Bahrain etc. They buy western hardware so if we destroy a few hundred Tornadoes/Eurofighters/F16s then there are big replacement contracts to create jobs in Europe and America.

The same Qaddafi who was a "partner in the war on terror" when Prime minister Blair visited in 2004 ? Or the same Qaddafi that provided the `special questioning` facilities when the British secret service sent the current democratic leader

If the people in some other Arabic countries did the same thing we would be bombing their ruler's palaces?

Very little - millionaires tend not to pay much tax. Especially foreign ones whose income is difficult to trace. What happened in Vancouver when Canada did the same thing is that people bought the houses as an insurance so they had an escap

But many of those graduates will be in law or medicine so having more of them in the country will lower the wages in those professions And many of the others are scientists and engineers - people who often believe in evolution.

There aren't many places where it's considered reasonable that your employer can fire you for no reason and have you and your family thrown out of the country aswell.

I think Phase tracking GPS chipsets are still pricey - outside surveying applicatiosn there isn't much demand.

"more frequently than once per month from any other person, ... shall be deemed as being engaged in the business of a secondhand dealer." So more than one Ebay a month and you are a dealer.

Trouble is that it must be from a US investor. So it's the same slave labor problem as H1B. If you don't like anything the investor suggests after you have moved then he withdraws the funding and you get deported. Can we think of how a good

They don't even have to change anything - a VISA isn't a guarranteed right of entry. You just need minimum wage guy at the airport desk to not like your face and you don't get in - no matter how many VISAs you have in your passport. You can

You need a receiver in the phone that can phase track, which costs 50x as much as the simple GPS chip they fit. You also need either a lot of storage locally or a fast data link between the base station and the rover - phones actually have

I think (IANAL) is that in libel publishing is the offence - so if you publish a copy of the libel you have committed the same offence - so "is a hyperlink publishing a copy?" is the question. In a torrent the offence is something like "mak

The case was specifically about "was a link - a republishing of an article" not, was the thing linked to legal. In this libel case publishing the article was the offence. So 'if' making a link was also publishing, then an article that only

It means you can have the CPU and OS running 24x7. So much simpler to program (and more like a desktop system) than most embedded where you have to wake up every N seconds, check for tasks and go back to sleep.

"rich media (audio, video), interactivity (JavaScript)" Great - an ebook format that is going to require virus scanning everytime want to read a book.

Not quite the same thing. The ruling said that publishing a hyperlink wasn't the same as re-publishing the original article. Making a torrent file available is providing a way to download the copyright offending file - that's a totally diff

The GPS chips include it (and Galileo) anyway since the frequency is close enough that you don't need any extra HW and with ASICs it's easier to just put everything it and fab a single device. Whether the ASIC implementation works and wheth
