"And what is amazing is that, I'd be willing to bet that you wouldn't be willing to pick up that shovel yourself."
Them picking up a shovel would destroy job opportunity. If they pick up a shovel it'd be silly to hire more "people" to do it for them, now wouldn't it? It's not laziness, its a strong desire to stimulate the economy.
If you're in the US and in an area where Uncle Charlie keeps a close watch on things you may want to rethink using a CB radio, data transmissions aren't legal. HAMs can do packet radio iirc, but not CB.
BR's hiccups with the extraneous net enabled features very early on didn't help it either.
The particulars I don't recall but I what I do recall is that certain discs would basically sit and spin waiting for some web component to respond. That was reason enough for me to ignore BR. Let alone the fact I'd have to upgrade to a HDTV and put up with having a player that can't play recent releases due to key revocations or I'd have to shell out for a PS3.
DVDs were stable and mature at that point and were a massive improvement over VHS. BR, not so much.
But it's not going to solve the food problem, like TFS claims. It may be part of the solution but it is not the solution. Solving the problem requires more than idealistic geeks salivating over the word "open".
All these tools for innovative African users will be for naught if they are chased off their land to make room for some other group that has no clue (or intention) of how to farm but has the favor of the current junta running things.
"Modern" farming techniques requires infrastructure. If the developing area isn't stable, the infrastructure to support the "modern" techniques won't be there or won't last so the area will still be dependent on outside aid to solve their food scarcity.
Seed suited to their area (ie, local) and conditions (drought,heat,pest,blight, etc. tolerant) would be a better boon than machines they can't support for seed that isn't suited for their area.
A better question, have parents displayed such competence and excellence and wisdom in all the other things it tries to handle these days that you could make a compelling case for its worthiness of being entrusted with such an important decision as parenting?
My answer would be no, so the government couldn't screw it up worse then the DNA donors already have.
"instead of harder targets like parents that have produced terrible and under-performing children... it's (lack of) parenting that's destroying kids' ability to do Math, Physics, etc."
All the hate for teachers and none for the real culprits...

Unlike that cruel Apple, Google requires only that you kneel.
"Vote early and vote often" was a republican policy, so ACORN learned from the best at election manipulation.
(William Hale Thompson and Richard Daley are attributed with the quote along with the paragon of virtue himself, Richard Nixon.)

Other than scare value (they're after our women!) is there some special quality that being in the possession of a female lends to the phone?
We use a horse and carriage to get around and know that lightning means we have displeased a sky god as well.

Please remember to fire *up*. We don't need another Invisible Swordsman incident.
It's not naturally black, it's probably not a rectangular shape in its original undamaged shape (tapered), and it's a stele, not a tablet.

"Stop worrying about what to do first and just do something. Anything."
Which is exactly how you get into knee-jerk reaction based crises. I hope you've never complained about Iraq II or the TSA.

Worry about stabilizing the regional governments first and then worry about upgrading them to first world farming techniques.
Keeping those who know how to farm alive and on the land they know how to farm will be necessary to make new equipment have any lasting effect.
I'd have expected idiocy this from a Droidboi, Apple fans like walled gardens.
I'd expect to get a port just as functional as that login out of that deal then.
I wonder if any virus scanners can be set to detect GPL code to keep your product/project from being infected.

To get a driver's license you have to pass a written and driving test.
To get a concealed weapons permit you have to pass a written test and proficiency test.
In some cities to have a dog you need a license.
To spawn, all it takes is boredom and ignorance.
To paraphrase Ballmer: "Externalities! Externalities! Externalities!"
It's turtles all the way down, no one is paying all their due externalities.
Just a warning: if a crudely rendered naked chick opens a scroll at you DO NOT LOOK AT THE SCROLL!

"There's a growing realization that those who run the US have killed the goose that lays the golden eggs."
The reviews said that the foie gras was very good, only a brief and slight aftertaste of regret..
Can't wait for the A10 in that case. I wonder what the DU will cost in the app store.
But shortened links are not.
That Sybil Ramkin could live twice as comfortably on half the money that Vimes spent because she was rich.
