A job is better than prison which is the closest analog to the current school system.
Students are expected to work extremely hard for an extremely long time with no short term payoff(indeed with short term penalties) and the only possible payoff being far enough off that the time could be measured in significant fractions of their entire lifespan so far.
Some kids manage this.
Many don't and that's a failing of the system and not just the individual.
That's a nice hundred dollars you have there. I assume that since you have another hundred dollars in your bank account, I can have the one you have in your wallet for 2 minutes and you won't have any complaints? Here you go, here's it back again.
It's called a reboot. Great for crappy hardware which can't handle the tasks it's designed to handle.
Don't take their artwork or story or character names and you're fine.
there are enough games out there anyway which are carbon copies of each other.
Asking the creator of the old game is stupid unless you want to use their code or artwork.
if you really feel the need to reference them then you might want to add an "inspired by" section and just make sure there's a decent list of other games in there too.
Stealing from one source is plagiarism. Stealing from many is art.
I didn't see anything about the address being his private one in TFA.
I did see some bullshit though. "The court, at that point, was under attack," The court was no more under attack than if they'd received a sack of ink and paper letters.
And it's not like much has changed. I watch it now and with only a few minor exceptions it's just as relevant and correct now as politics when it was made.
Being a child sitting in moms minivan doesn't make you a non combatant. Sitting at home quietly watching TV doesn't make you a non-combatant. They seem to take the view that if American soldiers feel like shooting you then you're not a non-combatant.
Nobody likes those who shoot unarmed people who help the wounded.
The very fact that the military tried to cover this up is a sign they know very well they fucked up in a big way.
You probably wouldn't want to eat too much of the locally grown crops or drink too much of the local water but people do live there and seem to do ok despite eating local food. Slightly raised background radiation is not as bad as people think. The heavy metals in the soil are a bit nasty though.
"Rather than the typical "background" gamma radiation of about 0.21 Röntgens per year, the edge of the Techa River was emanating 5 Röntgens per hour."
"Thirty-nine years of effluent had saturated the lake with nasty isotopes, including an estimated 120 megacuries of long-lived radiation. In contrast, the Chernobyl incident released roughly 100 megacuries of radiation into the environment, but only about 3 megacuries of Strontium-90 and Cesium-137. A delegation who visited Lake Karachay in 1990 measured the radiation at the point where the effluent entered the water, and the needles of their Geiger counters danced at about 600 Röntgens per hour-enough to provide a lethal dose in one hour. They did not linger long."
the nuclear energy industry isn't too bad. Its the nuclear weapons industry that people should worry about.
Of course if you listen to greanpeace types everything within a 100 miles of Chernobyl is a desolate wasteland peopled with ghosts and it will remain that way for 50,000 years.
I don't think this is just a case of someone pointing out a contradictory law.
"Forcing our schools to instruct children on how to utilize contraceptives encourages our children to engage in sexual behavior, whether as a victim or an offender," he wrote. "It is akin to teaching children about alcohol use, then instructing them on how to make mixed alcoholic drinks."
I think he very much believes that it just shouldn't be taught.
Walk into a library, scan all the books, store it on your hard drive. Walk into a video rental store, feed all the disks into your DVD drive and store it on your hard drive.
They're making copies and don't want to pay the copyright holder.
Now if they were to publish them without getting permission then that would be an even bigger deal.
They're not an educational institution or government agency so they don't get the same protections certain academic organizations get for copying material in some countries.

they produce an educated adult.
That's far more than many people in paying jobs produce.
Right here:
Email to judge's private email => sending letters to home. Contempt
Email to judge's office email => sending letters to office. Not Contempt

I liked UO back in the day.
I played it for a while and I remember I just found it soothing mining for a few hours or crafting things....
MUDS and other games that involve everyone playing in the same massive persistent world at the same time have been around since the 80's.
There were some graphical games with large persistent games with lots of players in the same world before 1996.
I'm not so sure about 3d games if that's the specific title they're talking about.
where does it say the emails were going to his private address???
If the networks that your traffic is being routed to doesn't simply melt sure.
This has happened before quite a few times, it's a side of the internet which is surprisingly fragile.
explain in your own words what you think blackmail is.
I see nothing in TFA about emails being sent to his private email address.
Botnet herders would make a killing by sending spam through hacked email accounts to their own addresses.
Plus there's loads of other boxes on the form that can be ticked.
Where did this private email address thing come from?

"The court, at that point, was under attack,"
The court was no more under attack than if they'd received a sack of ink and paper letters.
Would it have been different if he'd asked his supporters to mail letters to the judges office urging the judge to side with him?
Would it have been contempt of court if he'd asked his supporters to send written letters to the judges office urging the judge to side with him?
Don't make me tap the form.
It's not a new or practical idea.
And it's not like much has changed.
I watch it now and with only a few minor exceptions it's just as relevant and correct now as politics when it was made.
To clarify not one of the labs in TFA, just a lab where they used mice for some experiments.
I once had a fascinating talk with a girl who worked at one of those labs and was given the job of killing the mice before they're analyzed.
Apparently in that lab it was the job they gave to all the newbies when they first arrived.

18?
Some parents would prefer to avoid their progeny from ever finding out about sex even after 18.
They can procreate only as many times they are to have children and then though a hole in a sheet while being careful not to think sinful thoughts.
I once met a woman who thought there should be a 25's ratings for movies because she didn't like what her 19 year old son was watching.
I remember in our school they taught the girls sex ed but not the boys (beyond the basics in biology for which the biology teacher turned bright red).

what surprises me is how little we hear about the other places that have been damaged by radioactive material.
The soviet weapons program was a disgrace.
Chernobyl pales in comparison to this:
