It's fine if she doesn't know yet, too many kids are forced into a box too early
Too many kids are not forced into a box early enough. I've seen far too many people who didn't know what they wanted to do, but were willing to spend $10k - $20k per year at a college to find out. Often they take 6 years to get a 4 year degree; have $50k - $100k in student debt which cannot be discharged through bankruptcy; and (not as many) end up with Art History degrees. Yeah, it was just yesterday I opened up the classifieds and said, "Whoa! Look at these employers looking to hire people with Art History majors!"
People need to figure this out by the time they turn 18. Otherwise, they end up spending years of their life cleaning up their indecisiveness.
The community that depends on OpenSSH, OpenNTPD and the like needs to figure out how to support these projects.
Switch OpenBSD from the BSD license to GNU GPL v3. Make BSD licensing for donors only, with - of course - a restrictive clause that you can only use BSD licensing if you've donated. I'll admit it's an on-your-honor system, but it will scare most corporations.
GNU GPL v3 is free-enough for most people, and those who need free-er terms can pony up.
Mod parent up. Something a lot simpler is a Financial Transaction Tax. For example, one cent per share, for shares held less than 30 days. When calculating age, you need to start with the newest shares first, to prevent people from avoiding the tax just by having a large pool of shares.
In cases like "factory X has just gone up in flames" it would be worth paying the tax. In other cases, probably not.
The most promising study I saw on the subject said it was due to undiagnosed/untreated sleep apnea in the mother during critical stages of prenatal brain development. (Sorry, I don't have a citation.)
There's clearly a ton of misinformation out there. But which is more likely--you're misinformed, or the U.S. Navy is misinformed?
You have to remember that the US military has a vast reserve of resources, which it can draw upon to chase down ghosts. For example, they spend billions on supercomputers to break encryption, just for the off-chance to crack it. Most other nations would consider that a waste of resources.
Instead of looking at it as "The US Navy is spending time and money to investigate, so there must be something to it," you should be looking at it as "There aren't any naval battles going on, so they have nothing better to do."
I have this same problem, and I've noticed that torrent sites are more often afflicted than other sites. It may be that torrent sites created by hobbyists rather than paid professional are more likely to suffer from problems that get clogged in Comcast's tubes. However, I would not rule out malice yet.
You do know that this shady government entity is populated by your fellow countrymen right?
My fellow countrymen would unplug their own mothers from life support just to have a place to charge their cell phones. My fellow countrymen are part of the crappiest generation of spoiled idiots.
Here are some things my fellow countrymen are doing. You tell me if you would trust them.
FARNSWORTH: So what are you doing to protect my constitutional right to bear doomsday devices?
N.R.A. MAN: Well, first off, we're gonna get rid of that three-day waiting period for mad scientists.
FARNSWORTH: Damn straight! Today, the mad scientist can't get a doomsday device, tomorrow it's the mad grad student. Where will it end?
N.R.A. MAN: Amen, brother. I don't go anywhere without my mutated anthrax......for duck hunting.
If they want to fix the sales tax "loophole", at the federal level, it's easy: pass a law requiring e-merchants to collect sales tax based on the merchant's physical location.
Except your proposal can be construed as an export tax, which is expressly prohibited by the constitution.
This "loophole" isn't a bug; it's a feature. The founding fathers foresaw that taxes might get too high in one state. These constitutional restrictions enable people to buy goods from a state with lower taxes, which in supposed to force tax competition between states and help keep taxes low.
Honestly, the taxation is completely backward. There should be a federal sales tax (instead of income tax), and states should tax income (instead of sales). Why? Because you can buy your goods from anywhere (federal), but you have to live somewhere (state). The inherent nature of what is being taxed on what level can resolve all the jurisdiction issues.
IANAL, but those emails pose a HUGE legal liability if you ever get sued. You might think it's innocent enough -- maybe a cat picture or something -- but you have no idea how creative a lawyer can be. Perhaps he'll try to claim copyright infringement or something.
You need to take the complete opposite approach. You should only be archiving emails that have a clear need to be retained. I realize you cannot always know that in advance. However, in the rare occurrences I didn't have an email I needed, I was able to get the information another way. IMHO, you are far better off risking not having an email than a sh!t storm legal woes from having too many emails.
What secrets are we going to find in the code that we should have known about sooner? It looks like this is just another thing the politicians were trying to hold back so we didn't know about their shenanigans until it was too late.

No, this is explained by multi-dimensional time. The speed of light is constant. See: The Dark Side of Time
If the government agents doing the buying don't know sh!t, then how do they know if they're purchasing good knowledge?

He stole Windows 8 code, but nothing of value was lost.

No, there is one last civil, non-violent option -- a convention of the states. Georgia has already passed a resolution calling for a convention. The Convention of the States group expects to have 16 by the end of this year.

This is why we need the Tea Party.

NSA internal operations. When the NSA can commit over 3,000 privacy violations in one year, the NSA is obviously not monitoring its own activities.
This should have been +5 funny. It's a Futurama reference.
A Head in the Polls
Not quite. The right-wing of the Ruling Party wants to control you by proxy via their corporations.
Anachragnome seems to think that everyone is spying for the NSA. Who is it doing all this mutual spying?
Facebook is building dossiers of everyone, whether they have a Facebook account or not.
The amount of information they can derive is disturbing.
Then Facebook shares the results with the government.
And the nature of the relationship between the two is a little too cozy, to say the least.
Never underestimate the ability or willingness of your Senator to sell you out.

Gates was already heading for the exit in 99. He had grown tired of dealing with the press and had more money than God so who could blame him?
Somehow I don't believe God's assets are tied up in cash.
If the data has value, it's creators should be paid for it.
Physicists should pay God?
Really? Today? US Election Day.
