Comparing the stats of search engines on every question to humans who only try to answer questions of their choosing, is misleading. Ken Jennings 79% success was on a self-selected subset of questions he thought he could answer correctly.
Why is Google fooling around with Soduku when they could be figuring out the maximum score on Donkey Kong? C'mon Google, put your brainpower to something important! Google engineering, consider yourself challenged.
In addition, going to college teaches you many meta-skills (e.g., budgeting your time, meeting deadlines, working in a team, performing research, communicating/selling your ideas in a formal manner, coping with bureaucracy and navigating institutional hierarchies) that are very handy in the workplace. You can learn all of these outside of college, but as previous poster suggests, a college degree establishes a high probability of baseline skills.
How many people are capable of teaching themselves differential calculus from a book? I suppose they could find some like minded people and organize a group, perhaps find someone who already knows differential calculus and pay them to lead regularly scheduled sessions, create problem sets and tests, and correct homework.

It's Facebook's monetization of their users' personal information (via constantly shifting opt-out changes to privacy settings) that is the root problem.
If you live in an area covered by Yelp, ask the owners of the next 10 small businesses that you patronize whether they've heard from Yelp and what they thought of their sales pitch. You'll hear the same story over and over.
Do we know for a fact that it was factory-branded Mike & Ike's and not illegally copied or Chinese-bootlegged Mike & Ike-like candy? There's still ample opportunity to tie this story into several other perpetual Slashdot themes.
I found iMeem an invaluable way to quickly check out new releases I'd read about, or catalog releases by artists. Now that it's gone, what's the best commercial alternative? Who has the best library of streamable music for free or a reasonable monthly fee?

This is similar to how... the credit industry is based in ND.
I think you mean Delaware. More specifically, Wilmington, DE.
OP was suggesting that objecting libertarians be formed into a line.

You can tell your family where you hid the money and they can take a really nice vacation instead of paying to free you.
If they can't pay the full judgment, why not have them work off the bill in debtor's prison?

The lower bit rate creates severe and unattractive artifacts when Benny Hill chases scantily clad women at high speed.
