Um, when it's illegal you have no recourse when the guy takes the ID and then doesn't turn over your share. Ok, you can send someone to break his legs, but that only gets you so far.
Bystanders often get caught up in riots, especially the kind that sweep down the street picking up anybody walking along. Microwave beams are still better than rubber bullets, firehoses, or tear gas, but the riot instigators will quickly figure out how to include metallic protection in their clothing.
I see a ton of spelling and/or grammar errors in sign painting (usually superfluous apostrophes), copy editing / marketing (lite, nite, apostrophes, etc...), public relations and other professions which ostensibly are based around communicating clearly with a customer. If they can't get it right, then I'm not surprised that geeks have trouble.
Who said identical hardware? Perhaps the minimum floor on hardware will be a little higher. Anyway, if OSXi is better than Windows XP it's not price gouging.
I agree that public schools are a mess. I hope we find a solution that preserves the economy they could represent over homeschooling.
I have two nits to pick. Your figures about homeschooling seem to me to be way off, unless you consider the teacher's time to be worth close to zero.
Also, your language when discussing incapable and disruptive or capable and brilliant seems to suggest that brilliant and disruptive are mutually exclusive. I can tell you from my experience as a student, and my wife's as a teacher that that is not necessarily the case.
Most homeschooled children I've met and/or hired excel at the areas that they have a natural aptitude in, sometimes far and away beyond their public school peers. Some of them however are relatively low in their 'weak' areas when compared to 'competent' public school peers. For example, I had a great kid working for me who was well on his way to an MCSE at age 16. Unfortunately his spelling was about at the sixth grade level. Of course, many public schools crank out kids who are equally bad, but I think you get my point.
How about instead: Record companies are forced to pay out royalties to the artists based on the ip value. When companies come after someone in court for ip theft, they are forced to use the self assessed value / number of licensees extant * number of licensees lost due to the 'theft' when they calculate their damages.
Sometimes, even if there is a better architecture, you can't get there from here. At least not without throwing the whole thing away, and hey, we live in this architecture.
There are multiple possibilities for valuation, including value of royalties paid out per year on music, licensing fees collected, etc... I think the earlier mention of self-assessment has some merit, companies have some incentive to keep the assessment high, since if ohers steal the ip, the companies wont be able to prosecute with the assumption of high-losses.
The other possibility is increasing the maintenance fee by say a factor of 20 and allowing an offset based on income or sales taxes paid on licensing fees or purchase of products incorporating that ip manufactured by the patent holder. Actually, come to think of it, it works the other way around already, since the maintenance fee is an expense against profits, and can be carried over to future years. Turning it around would force companies to develop or license patents more rapidly, or else give them up.
A big problem though is that patents are much easier to develop quickly in some fields (plastic widgets?) than others (pharmaceuticals).
Um, speaking as someone who is tightly in the Microsoft orbit (7+ years systems administration on 95/98/Me/Ce/NT/XP), and who has only briefly flirted with Linux, I actually find apt to be more intuitive than dealing with the Windows based five or so ostensibly 1-click installer packages. I say ostensibly, because it's actually more like 1-click + EULA click + drive choice click + custom vs default click + program group click + four or five clicks for redoing the whole thing after a silent install failure leaves you with a corrupt registry key which needs deleting. Not to mention the thirty or so clicks that you have to do every month to manage updates, with five or six update schedulers that all use different methodology from each other, and from the installer that you originally used. If you think Linux is hard, it's because you forgot the learning curve of Windows, or because you aren't paying attention.
Now if you want to rant about device drivers I'll probably agree with you.
Speaking as a type-I diabetic, it would be nice to be cured, but not at the expense of becoming the carrier for some god awful flu mutation that kills 100 million people. When you can't even quantify the risk, it's usually a good idea to pour more research into what you are doing.
TrueTrack meters and strips seem to be the cheapest, but I'm guessing you use them since you mention.50 test strips.
I re-use my syringes (because I'm miserly, and don't like carrying around a whole lot of them).
I had a Medi-Ject back in the day, and only used it for a few weeks. It caused a lot of bruising, which wasn't that big a deal, and also occasionally lost some of the dose against my skin, which was a big deal.
AST testing tends to only lag in situations where your blood sugar is dropping fast (yes, I know this is the most critical situation). However, you can improve the accuracy of the results by rubbing and chafing the testing area ahead of time to increase capillary flow (IANAD).
Some of the phone lines where I live are so old they have paper for insulation, and run in giant lead conduits. I'm not sure how quickly existing infrastructure will have to be replaced.
Some of us are stuck paying SBC a portion of our line charges even if we go with a different DSL provider. SBC manages to charge so much for line access and CLEC fees that it works out to be almost as expensive for just a DSL line through a competitor than their in-house DSL offering + POTS service. Their own service has abysmal latency and downtime, and you are forced to support their cash cow POTS service whether you need it or not.
I think I'd rather pay the government. At least they can force interoperability and offer infrastructure access to private companies as service providers without being required to artificially jack up the price. Ideally, you'd have government manage the wiring (fibering?) and have private industry provide the services.
So is it a practical security concern if an attacker maps out a table of collisions ahead of time, and lurks in wait for a key that uses a colliding hash?
Often times in date rape crimes without _physical_ evidence of drugging or coercion it turns into a situation where the rapist says it was consensual sex, and the victim that it was rape. Because juries are reluctant to make convictions without overwhelming evidence (a lot of victim blaming). The DA may be forced to plea bargain from a fairly weak position. Since only 1 in 10 rape trials go to conviction ( 1 in 10 reported rapes dont even make it to trial ) anything over a tenth of the max sentence would actually be a pretty good plea bargain.
Another way to look at it though is that in state prison you are much more likely to get totally ass raped than from being in federal for a longer stretch. Unless you are in solitary.

Most of the decent DSL providers (speakeasy for instance) provide a limited hour dial up access for their DSL customers to use while travelling.
Why can't it be done? We have a lot of access to aluminum and mylar.

I agree too, but he could hold the cell phone 1/2 inch away :-).
Funny when I google for MSI for firefox, that obscure site comes up first.
Bump up parent, he's correct about 'case 0:'
