Teachers love to blame problems on [parents|students|other scapegoat] because that way, no additional work or money is required by the complainer to solve the problem.
Truth is there's plenty of blame to go around and teachers certainly deserve their fair share.
In these countries, many families struggle to put food on the table. By allowing their children who are able to work go to work in the factories, these families are better able to care for each other.
These are dangerous smelting factories or weapons manufacturing plants. They are electronics assembly lines. Lines which could essentially be replaced by robotics except that humans are cheaper. No kid is in danger of having his arm sliced off.
Enforcing Western-style regulations in Western countries makes sense, but in poor countries, having an extra set of hands working besides mom and dad is a real boon.
I can't believe I'm reading about Apple, of all companies, enforcing regulations like these overseas. It's more White Man's Burden than Protect The Children. But really, when you think about it, those two concepts are essentially the same, and it reeks of condescension.
American child labor laws were passed in the 30s, a time when the US economy more closely resembled that of today's developing countries. I think that children are especially vulnerable in places where poverty is prevalent because parents are more likely to neglect their children and often come to the wrong conclusion that trading their children's education for a job is in the child's best interest.
Education is the only way to break the poverty cycle and because impoverished parents may (understandibly) be tempted to send their children to work, I think that these policies make perfect sense.
Oh, I also don't know of any other language that has what effectively amounts to synactic sugar for try/catch with an empty catch block [php.net]. Good programming practices FTW!

They now claim to have a GPL version, but that is only useful if you plan on keeping your code open
You probably already know this but it's worth mentioning that under the GPL you're only required to share the code with people who use it (i.e. execute the code), so if you only use it internally or your customers only use the web output you don't have to share it with anyone.
rely on reviews or testimonials that are posted on the sellers website. Reviews on third-party websites are generally more reliable as there's usually less of a conflict of interest but even those aren't always real so buyer beware.
But fast forward to today. Considering (a) the huge number of nukes available, and (b) the successful treaty organizations which ensure that an attack against almost any developing or developed nation would bring into play a nuclear-armed nation, there's only one reason that any nation would want to obtain nukes themselves: to use them, consequences be damned.
I suppose when you say "any nation" that also includes Israel. So if Israel's only reason to obtain nukes is to use them, don't you think it's reasonable for Iran to want to have a deterrence? By contradiction your hypothesis is false.
Because natural gas & oil are limited resources, so they need to start thinking now about how to replace those resources. Additionally, with oil reaching $100+ a barrel last year it's only natural that they will try to conserve as much as possible by investing in other energy resources.
Whether or not Israel deserves a higher level of trust is arguable but it's irrelevant because if there's one region in the world that should be nuke free, then it's the middle east. The fact that Israel has introduced nukes to the mideast is unacceptable because history has shown that the introduction of nukes inevitably leads to an arms race because countries want to make sure they have a deterrence. Just look at what Pakistan did when India got nukes or how they test their nukes in sync. Israel needs to get rid of their nukes so Iran does not have a legitimate reason (deterrence) to pursue their own program.
Just as we believe Iran is not trustworthy, the Iranians believe Israel is not trustworthy (and "unbalanced") - and Israel owns nukes. Think about that for a moment.
I think there are still a lot of elitist attitudes in the open source movement, with people "points scoring" - trying to prove they are more elite, more expert, and more competent than others and basing their sense of worth on proving they are better than others.
I think this happens because most open source projects are based on meritocracy, so developers really do have to prove their skill in order to get involved or move up in a project. But yes, nobody should base their sense of worth on their coding skills (or any skills IMHO but that's another discussion) and obviously nothing good comes out of deriding beginners.
Protecting against SQL injection is basic stuff, so I find it worrisome that that's how their system got compromised. I would like to think that most of the data they save to the db is sanitized and that the hackers just got lucky but I have a feeling that's not true.
Your argument is a form of the broken window theory. If someone can fulfill their transportation needs by buying a used car vs a new car then the economy will be better off if they buy the used car. Why? Because in such a situation buying a new car is wasteful - some of those people you mentioned - salespeople, managers, workers, etc - could be allocated to generating other resources that actually are in demand and ultimately that will generate more wealth and utility for society.
So yeah, buy a used car if you want to save money
Again, that saved money can be spent on other goods and services which benefit also benefits the American public.
And really, yes, he ruined a lot of lives, that part is unquestionable but he isn't violent. There is no need to lock him up especially not in a maximum security prison
You agree that he has ruined lives, and you agree that he has done this w/o using physical force. Let me ask you this - do you believe he's more likely or less likely to engage in other fraud from prison vs from the outside?
Furthermore, a big part of sending people to prison is as a deterrence to people who are considering to commit a crime. If defrauding people out of billions doesn't result in a prison sentence - then what the heck, why not give it a shot? Especially if you're old and you were going to retire anyway.
The man belongs in prison and IMHO his wife should not be left with a single red penny.
It is the exception, not the rule, that a hacker becomes employed as a highly paid consultant. A lot of jobs require security checks, which you will fail if you have a criminal record.
Hacker !imply Criminal
Yes, some hackers are criminals but not all are - and *a lot* of the ones who aren't are in fact highly paid consultants. Please stop spreading the misperception that hacking is criminal or unethical.
That is why I am so dissatisfied with the lack of upper level support to date.
I suspect that you're not familiar with Iranian history and the reasons why the public strongly supported the revolution. Whether true or not there was a wide perception that the Shah was a puppet controlled by the US and Brits, and Iranians have become extremely sensitive of foreign meddling in internal matters, so any 'upper level' support will likely be used as evidence by the current regime to prove that the protests are nothing more than the work of foreign intelligence agencies (as they already claim btw).
Montcalm County estimates that repaving a road costs more than $100,000 a mile. Grinding the same mile of road up and turning it into gravel costs $10,000. At least 50 miles of road have been reverted to gravel in Michigan the past three years.
I don't know much about paving roads but I'm guessing if repaving a road costs $100,000 a mile then paving one for the first time will cost at least the same. So they destroyed $50,00,000 worth of pavement in order to save $5,000,000 in maintenance.

You're blatantly wrong here. The reason the IBM - SUN merger didn't go through is because SUN walked away from the deal.
