Actually, I think you're wrong. The entire existence of organised Jediism appears to be an attempt at making a particular political statement, i.e. that "other" religions have too much power and some of it should be taken away.
If you said Pastafarianism instead of Jediism I might agree with you, but I'm sure there are people devoted to Star Wars enough to consider it as their religion.
I don't think he's trying to imply that every person that communicates with computers is "smart".
I think he's trying to say that since the computer is an open platform for many different applications, ie. games, web chat, web browsing, media editing, it requires more thought on what to do and how to do it. In contrast, one of the biggest concerns while watching TV might be whether to watch channel 231 or 452.
This is a little disturbing, actually. I live in West Chester, another Philly suburb thirty minutes away from Lower Merion, the county that issued out these laptops.
I'm on my last year of high school, and this year many of our students have also been loaned laptops in the exact same manner. The only ones who got the laptops were some kids in some of the basic classes, but I have no idea how they're supposed to be used.
*Technically* he's right and they both are UAV's, I think it was just the article's quote that was a little off base. Still it's like comparing a BB Gun to an M16.
Both of my grandpas are terribly addicted alcoholics, and my father is a regular drinker. I've been charged with underaged drinking before, so does this mean I couldn't really help it?;)
The problem is that normal people are fucking stupid. Imagine the shitstorm when someone disassembles one of these to "see what's inside."

Saying that is like implying that everything is intrinsically safe, and it's humans which will invariably mess things up just because it's possible. In a way you're right, people will do stupid things regardless, but things are designed/exist as (less) safer than other things. Guns kill people under normal conditions, knives cut people under normal conditions, tear gas aggrivates parts of peoples' eyes under normal conditions.
Tabula Rasa did the same thing. It's a shame that you'll never see these kinds of events until a game has nearly perished, but I do also agree that it's fun to be a part of that story. It makes you feel like you actually changed the game within itself, and really help decide what route the final epilogue will take.
Well that's really weird. You've completely seized the ancient mistake our species has been making for decades! You should be the sovereign of spelling!
Does the word "convenience" reside in your mental dictionary? You can pay for something and get it, or you can not pay and not get it, or you can steal it. There is no "I'm not paying for this because you should give this to me because I deserve it anywhere."
It mentioned in the article that the flies didn't harm the native species of ants. It's also a fact that most parasitic animals have a specific target animal to draw energy from, it would not even be likely in the first place that these flies would damage the local ecosystem.
Nothing in the.torrent file itself is illegal. The **AA still needs to actually show that the person was illictly downloading the copyrighted material. If I downloaded every.torrent on TPB for archival purposes, I would be doing nothing wrong.
You can't download something for archival purposes, the point of archiving is that you're taking it from your own content. You are not entitled to every copy of something just because you own one.

Best case scenario: 153 W/mK or 61% as conductive as aluminium, 38% as conductive as copper. Not exactly impressive for a heat sink
Maybe they're not as conductive, but polythylene is much, much, cheaper.
No crackheads are going to steal polyethlene from peoples' homes like they do with copper wiring.
I think introducing computers here will be more expensive and cause more problems than it is worth.
If it aint broke dont fix it.

It's actually verbatim from what he said in a Deutsche Bank Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco . (start reading after "[UPDATE]")

I think this is very worth investigating.
You say there are hard games on the Wii, but you dont acknowledge the 10 "Imagine Babyz" and "Avatar: The Game", etc. for each of them.
"But they're still both guns!"
One always has to worry about adventurers with low sarcasm skills...
The price for the bags, knucklehead.

3 months? How about using a home or public computer? There isn't some cave where all the members of the CoS live together 24/7.

Meet the new overlords, same as the old overlords.

Well, I like the music.
