I have no problem with public schooling, but there needs to be a check and balance to ensure that the kids are being taught the same or better than kids in a homeschool. Maybe there should be standardized testing, and recommended curriculum, for all schools including public schools.

The other issue you are going to run into is that teens are not allowed in the adult second life, and adults are not allowed into the teens second life. I understand why, but it is a pretty big barrier to doing educational stuff.
Actually, it's surprising that nobody else has noticed that this discussion is really about aviation, not telecommunications. Slashdotters are really slipping.
What? An idea is yours so long as you keep it to yourself. Once you tell me your idea, you want to be able to control what I can do with it? By force, of course.

Take a look a the 4th, 5th, and 6th articles in the bill of rights. They seem to have been pretty well gutted in the name of "National Security". The 8th is looking pretty shaky too.

We are not hominids?
I've seen it used multiple times in this discussion. That makes it a word.

I don't get it. If the next ones aren't, what is going to prevent you from moving? Where is the lock-in?
Why settle for the lesser of two evils?

I'm thinking that should have been plural: "How have..."
Badly worded. It means that Adobe's role in the e-book space is similar to Microsoft's role in the PC space.

I'm pretty sure the assassination part is already illegal, but you may want to check with a lawyer first.
Swine Flew.
Good money, plus hookers and blow. What's not to like?
Tell that to my company.
I thought Masturbating Monkey was Ubuntu 10.10?
That's how Apple came to dominate the PC desktop market, and why IBM-PC compatibles have the small market share they do today.
