You can but there is a very serious gotcha. The first time the newly installed version runs, it pops ups a EULA page. And I could find no way to surpress that.
If the J. Random Enduser doesn't click agree at that point then the install is screwed until an admin uninstalls and reinstalls Java on that machine. It completely messes us up on training users not to click things if they don't know what they are.
10 times the price seems a mite excessive just to get reasonable build quality and engineering. So I can expect the $1200 system to sound like ass too?
There are also scripts that will autogenerate the Avahi service files for you. The only real new thing here might possibly be a better UI for doing this.
If possible I think it would make for some very strange behaviour and outlook. An old traumatic memory is going to shape one's attitude and choices in myriad ways. The memory can be removed but all of the consequences that came about because of that memory are still present. For instance, one may have very pro law and order attitudes and even became a cop because a loved one was a victim. Take away that memory and context for the shape life took because of it is gone. And the more memories are adjusted, the less context one has. Force of habit and long career still leaves a pro law and order policeman but perhaps some of the fierce conviction is gone now.....
Places with these high populations and high deathrates have little per capita income and no social safety nets. In such places, the primary social support is from extended families. The social mores of most of these places require taking care of the elderly or at least the elders. So everyone aspires to live long enough to have lots of kids of their own in case they survive to old age and need taking care of. And of course they have lots of kids since they expect many to die young.
Condoms and pills won't keep birthrates down in such places. Economic opportunity will. Career oriented societies make children costly but are able to ensure their survival better. So wealthier societies try to create legacies to leave smaller numbers of children.
As for how to make this happen.... Oh! Send all the western manufacturing to them. It should do the trick in a generation or three.
I doubt she would get the nomination. The Republicans appear to be looking for credible adults after the Trump and Gingrich debacles. Romney may not pass various ideological sniff tests but he is the first widely hyped candidate I've seen so far that doesn't come off like a retarded lunatic. I suspect they'll scare up a few more.
That was all well and good as long as you didn't mind the odd immigrant worker in your sausage. Though come to think it the odd immigrant worker is probably still winding up in the sausage.
Note: Don't actually use this design; they can start fires. I bet some great prank balloons could be made from flashing LED light toys and helium balloons.
Screw "Who's the better Captain? Picard or Kirk" Boooorrring.
I say Riker is the biggest dog. Kirk's idea of risque is getting it on with some green skinned dancer. Riker doesn't even care if his partner is strictly female.
The lions wouldn't last very long. A bit of ingenuity and a pointy stick ups the odds in favor of a human quite a bit. I suspect that humans with the technological resources of a colony shop to play with can do quite a bit better than a chair and a pointy stick. Brain+wherewithal to improvise tools isn't going to take long to beat fang and claw equipped brawn.
The poor tend to rely on extended family. Even in 3rd world hellholes with none of that oh so moronizing social justice, it is the poor having large numbers of children. Take away the "social justice" and they're apt to have even more kids. Yeah, a lot of them die off young but the survivors are obligated to family elders and the chief aspiration is to attain elderhood yourself. You seem to have the idea that classes of people you deem undesirable will wither away and die if only those pesky food and housing programs are taken away from them. They won't. Take a look at all the places where the poor are left to their own devices. The bulk of the Earth's 7+ billion are grindingly poor by Western standards.
These things are the truth and I expect you won't like them one bit.

The coupon printer uses DRM that hooks heavily into the Windows printing APIs to ensure that a virtual printer isn't being used. VirtualBox was the only way I could get it work. However, I was so annoyed by the "Windows just for DRM" nonsense that the first thing I got working was printing to cups-pdf. It was sorely tempting to email them some PDFs.
BTW, the way you do that is that the coupon printer WILL print to a port 9100 JetDirect queue. So you get a cups-pdf queue working and then do the following:
Add this line to/etc/services
jetdirect 9100/tcp
If using openbsd-inetd, add the following to/etc/inetd.conf
jetdirect stream tcp nowait lpadmin (or other appropriate user)/usr/bin/lp lp -d PDF
Assuming of course your cups-pdf queue is called "PDF". Then set up a print queue in Windows that prints to your Linux box as though it were a TCP/IP jetdirect printer. I suggest using a fairly generic Postscript printer like a Color Laserwriter 12/660. You can of course just print to regular cups queues in the same way. I advise this because the coupon printers will refuse to print to an IPP queue or any other shared printer.
Driverpacks are your friend here. They have an easy process to slipstream chipset, cpu, network, sound, and graphics drivers into XP, Vista, and Win7 installers.
I think it's apt to argue that the average *person* is dumb. I've met dumb people from all countries and walks of life. Even more broadly, nearly everyone is dumb (and I include myself in that number, you too, no insult intended) about some things. I don't think it's at all arrogant to call myself fairly smart and well educated. I'm echoing an opinion expressed to me by others whose own opinion I respect. On the other hand I know quite well that my skill in many practical areas of life are rudimentary at best.
It is a matter of values. Yes, ignorant wage slaves are everywhere but that isn't the problem. The problem is what the OP closed his post with. Americans tend to be *proud* of their ignorance and disdainful and suspicious of anyone who shows obvious intellect outside of a VERY few approved areas like sports , cut-throat business practices, and efficiently bombing brown people.
The most common problem with the optical drives is that the laser fails. You can replace the laser yourself for about $20. There are many demonstrations on Youtube that describe how to carry out the repair. If you're ok with spending $70 or $80, replacing the entire drive is easier. You use the same video for laser replacement as a guide and omit the steps that involve opening the drive and just swap out the units.
I would imagine that all those amino acids floating about in the ocean probably came in handy as a food supply at some point even if they weren't themselves the substrate of abiogenesis.
The major difference isn't so much the ease of jailbreaking but the motivation to do it.
iPhones are generally jailbroken to install applications and utilities that Apple doesn't approve of. Apart from the bits modified to open the phone, a jailbroken iPhone is still mostly running Apple firmware. Also, while jailbreaking an iPhone is generally easy, keeping it both updated AND jailbroke is a PITA as Apple is forever looking to lock the devices back up.
With Android devices, the motivation is usually firmware replacement; most Android phones allow some form of out-of-band installation and even alternate "app-stores" without being rooted. In the Android world, not getting updates to later and improved versions of the OS is pretty much the norm....probably intended to motivate yearly phone replacements. Also, phones from Android vendors tend to have unremovable crapware and weirdo customized interface elements installed. Motorola's Motoblur is infamous. So alternate firmware gets installed so that one can have a current OS and a more vanilla interface.
Once alternate Android firmware is installed the phone will STAY rooted since the community and not the vendor is now the update source for the phone. Some phones may even be quite difficult to jailbreak but keeping them that way is easier than an iDevice.

Things like this certainly do much to explain the sentiment:

And that isn't counting the Skull Ninja Good Christian Boy himself......
iDevices are showing up in organizations now. So IT has a way to serve their print queues to them.
I've been doing this for months. Avahi can share any cups queue as an Airprint queue. I used this howto:

There are also scripts that will autogenerate the Avahi service files for you. The only real new thing here might possibly be a better UI for doing this.
