We let kids play ultra violent war simulation for hours and hours, but god forbid they get a glimpse of love and biology. Something is seriously wrong with this picture
Yes. Something is indeed very wrong with that picture.
Do you have any proof that something is wrong with letting kids play ultra violent war simulation for hours and hours? If you simply decided that it is wrong, intuitively, you're making assumptions exactly as those who say porn is bad.
Without proof, it would be just as logical to say "We let kids drink water over and over again, but god forbid they get a glimpse of love and biology".
The mass is stupid. To make it understand even a simple concept, it needs to hear it many times.
The concept of filtering Internet will exist as long as there is an internet to filter.
We must keep the "filters never work." chant going. Maybe in a decade a politician will say "We need to filter the internet!" and his PR advisor will lean and whisper in his ear "My job becomes harder every time you say stupid shit like that. Sir.".
A couple of hours of online research should have taught him to, at least, connect through a cracked wifi far from his neighborhood. Or, if he was computer illiterate, to convince someone from another country to send the mails for him.
Also, once he decided to avoid the exam in a way that could land him in prison, why use a method he didn't understand, instead of burning down the building or paying someone to send the teacher to the hospital?
However, the first question I would ask him would be if he had considered that simply approaching the teacher and explaining him that he and all his family would be killed unless the exam was postponed, carried a shorter jail time than a terrorist threat.
In conclusion, clearly in Harvard they are not teaching how to deal with real world problems pragmatically.
I wholeheartedly agree and if I had anything to say on the matter, planting a flag on each planet would become part of the elementary physics curriculum.
No, they are not. Poverty is an artificial construct that depends on a previous one, which is property.
An ape can't be rich nor poor, as he has no property. The first thug, whore, shaman or slaver, did the "job" in exchange for something other than property. Be it protection, food or pleasure.
I vaguely remember many shots of rockets leaving but no space.
And if KSP has taught me anything it's that having a nice and pretty rocket in the first stage doesn't mean in second stage you won't become a large ball of fire an debris.
Anyone can live on 50c/day, as long as they are there.
It's common for backpackers to discover after a while in Thailand that they can live for 1€/day and decide that their plan to stay as long as money allowed made no sense, as a simple call to their parents for a tiny bit of money would pay them another year there.
"One of this year's winners of the Nobel Peace prize" Taking into account that only about 1/4 of peace prices are shared and that this year's was not, that sentence makes the post wrong from the first one or two words.
I just wanted to point out that this might be a record. A feat deserving 2013's "Fastest Error Award", also called Nobel Peace Price by some.
I have a genuine question. Assuming one uses Twitter from the phone, how does one prevent the Twitter app on the phone to scan the browsing history ? If they cannot scan my browsing history they cannot give me ads.
1 - Set up a vnc connection from your phone to your home computer. 2 - At home, run Twitter on a virtual machine with no other app installed. (The virtual machine has its own wifi through an usb dongle never used for anything else) 3 - Crack a neighbor wifi and connect to the internet through it. 4 - Connect the virtual machine to one paid and one free vpn services. (passing through your neighbor's AP). 5 - Once you've got that set up, connect to your contact in a country with no extradition treaty with your own country and send him a plain message with what you want to tweet. Your contact shall then write the message in twitter and send you any related message or reply, by ordinary postal service to a numbered nameless po-box, far away from your home. (a different one every two weeks).

So, less dangerous than 250m scuba diving but probably more than 100m scuba diving.
So, no recreational even if it was cheap to send people up.
How dangerous is a space walk compared to, for example, a 100m depth scuba dive?
i.e.: If it wasn't so very expensive to send things up there, could space walking become a "leisure" activity?
Most scientists live paycheck-to-paycheck
Only an elite handful possess the secret to being dead inbetween paychecks.

At the very least, government hackers.
Having no sense of humor isn't a sign of maturity. (And I'm probably older than both of you combined)
Did you walk to school at 4 o'clock every morning with no shoes on, uphill, both ways, in 5 feet of snow and were thankful?

As opposed to what, some pleb who could only get into a public state school?
Yes.

Your definition of "professional" doesn't match everyone else's.

Poverty is the oldest profession...
I disagree. Poverty is very unnatural. Many natural professions predate even the possibility of poverty: Hired muscle, Prostitute, Priest, Slaver.
Is there any space travel at all in gattaca?

all without any sort of court order."
Have you recently read of anything done by anyone WITH a court order? I wonder if the courts still remember how to write one.
The template must have been used for the last time with WordPerfect 4.2.
Well, at least you cracked the neighbor's wife.
In case someone is humor impaired, I feel the need to say that the previous post was a joke.
Obviously you shouldn't crack your neighbor's wifi.
You need to drive around the city cracking a different wifi for each tweet.
