Unlike media, which can't be stolen since the bits are still there, making something proprietary makes all the non-proprietary bits disappear from everywhere, forever, instantly.
Where I live used to be under a glacier until rather recently (geologically speaking), how could this have happened without coal burning power plants and SUVs?
Climates change, otherwise we'd be suffocating in a CO2 atmosphere (ya, O2 is a pollutant if you look back far enough, damn polluting plants). The 'A' in AGW, dubious at best.
Just be aware that the nifty college fund you set aside will go directly against federal aid (including grants) they'd otherwise be eligible for.
So if you really want to screw your kid over have high paying jobs and set aside a little money in a dedicated college fund and then let them pay for everything the college fund doesn't cover.
You could stop right there and see an improvement.
Homeschooling produces better results because the parents are involved with their child's education, not just because the kid isn't getting its daily dose of ebil gubmint mind control rays.
"Bring your kid to work day, every Friday? Its not as insane as it sounds."
Three words, hostile work environment. Not for the kids, but for the employees without kids who don't want to deal with your noisome brats while on the job.

The only Foxconn employees who committed suicide were working Apple parts, or so /. tells me.
People who make light of chickenpox should have to suffer shingles first.
Stuff that attacks the nervous system isn't fun to deal with.
Have you ruled out a hereditary disposition towards autism? I'd stop having kids and do that before putting others at risk.
But you are restricting the freedoms of anyone that uses your GPL ridden code.
Wouldn't have had it to even consider to start with and GPL might as well be proprietary for a little as you can make use of it.
BSD code doesn't disappear when someone takes it proprietary. It's still there for you to monkey with.
Simple. Less. You're working on a project you can't distribute the source for. Can't touch GPLd code. BSD you're A-OK.
Unlike media, which can't be stolen since the bits are still there, making something proprietary makes all the non-proprietary bits disappear from everywhere, forever, instantly.
So basically the GPL was created specifically to tell people what they cannot do.
Oh, we know, we just like not having to use a stylus more than pointless pixel perfect accuracy when moving the cursor around for most things.
"Then Apple comes out with the SDK and everyone must write glorious applications."
You have it somewhat backwards, everyone wanted to write glorious applications and then Apple came out with the SDK.

Their tinfoil hat isn't on tight enough.
"users that flee iPhone because of their bad SMS features"
Funny, I seem to recall Android being the one with the random SMS roulette "feature".
Go to the local salvation army or good will, you can get a desktop for $25.
At some point, almost anything is a luxury item. (Your $300 machine vs. the used $25 machine, why pay more for the luxury of something new?)
All you had to say at my regular lunch table at university to get everyone laughing so hard they'd go into convulsions was EFC.

Golf? The competitive walking with all the heavy stuff carried by someone else activity?
That'd depend on how they are killed.

So dropping one guided munition isn't saving lives compared to carpet bombing a vast area to assure one hit?
Because the food is good?
And just an FYI, if the service was good while dining alone you should still tip, even though no one will be there to be impressed.
It'd be nice if they'd put away their damned netbooks and nomads, those things eat a ton of table space
Men are genocidal monsters (even if there is a pregnancy there will never* be a 1:1 sperm to baby ratio) and women are serial killers.
