If a kid shouted that within earshot of me, I'd be negligent in my duty of care to not investigate. If I found a member of staff stripping a child? Citizen's arrest under Section 24 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act as being an indictable offense. Past that, it's "Get the Police, this is out of my hands."
In the UK it's a medical professional who conducts the search. Police are at hand if there is potential for violence. Often, though, the shear indecency of it all just makes them want to get it over with.
Teacher sees dope deal go down, pulls both students in. Weed/speed/whatever is "missing" and no sign it was dropped...
now you get in the territory of _maybe_ getting to a more intimate search.
No, now you detain the pupils in your office and call the Police. If you force a child to undress, and you are not a medical professional (the only person who should be conducting any kind of intimate inspection, if for no other reason than hygiene and safety!) you should get the book thrown at you. No exceptions.
That's GCSE IT, bub. 16 year olds. They make you input it twice because Windows doesn't report that your wireless key is incorrect, only that you have limited connectivity to the network (No IP address).
Inputting the password twice, manually at least, reduces typing error as a cause of this issue.
There's nothing wrong with a simple, intuitive UI. That's why X exists. Regular Joe Sixpack doesn't want to grep, ls, or sudo. He wants to click a pretty picture and get his Bookface page. He doesn't care about editing scripts or compiling the latest kernel release; He wants a button which says "Updates!" If you don't realise this, then you firstly really don't get IT at all. IT is about providing a tool for a job, like any service industry. If you make the tool too complex, you fail at your job. So yes, dumbing down is good for the bulk of the population.
As for your second point, I don't know about you, but I'm a rubbish teacher. I lack the patience and mentality to tutor a person less IT literate than myself. That's why I took an £18,000 P/A job as an IT Tech instead of a £25,000 P/A job as an IT Teacher. I would fail in teaching, but I succeed in supporting teachers with their IT equipment.
I'm not sure about the yellow board, but the white board is information on proper hygiene, buy the look of it. Properly washing your hands seems to be the major feature.
You don't think, in an area where "safe water" pretty much means "If you didn't just pass, you can drink it"*, kids need to know this information?
* Speculation, but I'm guessing I'm not far off the mark if they need a pump like this.
FYI the article states that half of the four-sided boards are for local company advertisments, the other half are public welfare (hygiene, sanitation, instruction etc).
I've always wondered, as I've absolutely no knowledge of the subject, if Nike is exploiting child labour or is Nike providing shelter and entertainment for children in impoverished areas? Do the kids have a play area to relax in? Are they in education normally, or is this inaccessible? Are Nike providing education for them if it's not readily available?
I'm reminded of the scene in Baseketball when Trey and Matt's company is blackmailed for hiring child labour; They fly over and find out it's true, and totally revamp the place with high-quality tools, proper healthcare systems, more than fair pay, benefits etc...
My point is that if a child is willing to perform an activity anyway (as many kids build things with their hands; I played with lego for ages) why not remunerate them for it?
Forced labour is an abhorrent activity and should be stopped, just so we're clear.
How about we remake models of Fat Man and Little Boy and put up two pictures of US flags, and the insignia of the airborne squadrons which flew them over to Japan? I'm sure the Japanese would just love that.
We know what the plane is, we know what it's for. No need to fly the fucking flag and wave it in my face.
Well, you're correct in that it's a control for rights elevation for a particular process, but way, way off apart from that.
sudo is a manual control; You have to physically type the command into your shell to instigate a rise in privilege. UAC asks you if you want to raise privilege. To a (l)user, desensitised as they are by Microsofts' abuse of message dialogues, clicking "Yes" is almost coded into muscle memory, and it's between MS and the users to sort out who is responsible for that situation.
AFAICT, UAC is just a get-out. It shifts the onus for installing crapware onto users PCs onto the user, as MS can now say "Look, you had to type in the password! You didn't read the box? Oh, well then... That's not our fault!"
sudo requires knowledge. Pressing "Yes" only requires impatience.

We draw the line at untrained and unprofessional members of the public forcing children to undress so they can be intimately searched.
And it's a big fucking line.

Sounds like a lot of effort.
Find a local building work and give him £20 to put it on top of the next thing he attacks with a kango.

How are olives superiour to colliflower? And don't you go mentioning my genicutals... Pervert.
In short, WTF?
... or the joy stick.
If that's the case, why is MS still moving into the AV market? Surely UAC solves all of their issues with running as admin by default?
Were are my algae-powered overlords! I want my overlords! Now, you insensitive clods! *weeeeeep*
Fixed that for you! :)
He does have a case for prior art. Besides, there's a precedent for suing Deities
I am a patent attorney...
I got this far, and then the whole screen turned into blood-red text saying "REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM"
Bitter much?
If you'd have thought of it, you'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Too bad your fish wasn't worth $20k, eh?
That's so HAWT.

You can't (TM) a process. You need a patent for that.
Someone should tell this kid.
That's not a love handle, it's a buffer overflow, you insensitive clod!
What's wrong with the aircraft hangar door?
