I applaud the motivation, but the United States public school system is as dysfunctional as your average third world government. Pouring more money into this broken system simply does not help. As an example, consider the Washington D.C. pu

Overpopulation was actually a major problem for Britain for most of its history, (hence the continent-sized penal colony in Australia.) It was just that British immigrants had the nasty habit of overthrowing the government in their new home

"Recently, though, the dream has been evaporating. Between 2003 and 2007, California state and local government spending grew 31 percent, even as the state’s population grew just 5 percent." This is the most shocking line from the article.

I don't really know much about physics engines, so I count on others to point out when something new or unique happens in that area. Its hard to know who to trust on such subjects, so sites with decent reputations act as a filter.
