Funny you should ask about cheating. A recent study suggests that students on campus cheat more often than their online counterparts. I blogged about it here.
It's the drivers' responsibility to maintain control of their vehicles and be cognizant of sudden dangers in the street. Any attempts delegate this responsibility onto pedestrians, wildlife, and falling trees are completely retarded.
I agree that this is the driver's responsibility, but considering we're talking about stopping people from getting smooshed by cars, is alerting pedestrians as a sort of back up system really that objectionable?
Imagine the resource of the latest war were spent on space exploration. We'd have a space elevator by now.
Or, for the cost of 57 days of the war, we could have had a launch loop, which would be cheaper, wouldn't expose passengers to anywhere near as much radiation, and wouldn't require unobtanium.
I gather that most of the musicians who actually make music still do it because they have a passion for it. It's the corporate distributors who want to use government to club everyone over the head to eke out every last possible cent.
You might disagree, I expect that the majority of people would, but that doesn't make it a troll.
As for "conscious", it didn't seem to me that AC was saying that mice should have the right to vote or anything, just that they're clearly capable of feeling pain and fear, so we shouldn't do things that will basically torture them to death even if it's for some purpose we find useful.
Education is a service, like any other. There's nothing magical about it that makes it inappropriate to offer for profit. This $99/month educational buffet we're discussion came from the private sector because someone saw a way to make money by charging less. This is a good thing.
Regardless of what the auth^H^H^H^Hcorporation who owns the copyright does, allowing copyright for a century is insane. Statistically speaking, that's longer than my school-age children will live. Which part of "temporary" is so confusing?
Don't tell me it's News Corp. vs. Disney -- I won't know who to root against. I mean, that's like the media conglomerate edition of Alien vs. Predator!
If Megan Fox walked up to you and said, "Hi, my name is Yakspit Cox-Feces," would it make much of a difference to you? If anything, I figure it would make it an even better story...
But that's not her name. In fact, of all the pretty girls out there, she's the one we're talking about, and her name is "Fox".
Working at an abattoir doesn't make you a psychopath.
I'm not so sure. Considering the gruesome methods used to kill livestock in slaughterhouses I can't imagine working in one is all that good for one's long term psychological health.

Both Open and Closed rely on the same foundation of copyright.
Yes, which is why some of use use public domain dedications and the CC0 waiver rather than those "some rights reserved" licenses.

Agreed. There's a reason they made a movie about Apollo 13 and not about one of the other Apollo missions -- even Apollo 11.

Alas, there would be no effect. You forget that Washington power brokers are not just vermin, but undead vermin.

They must have asked it something that wasn't on the script!

Just sayin'.

Sadly unavailable, so until that's implemented you'll have to just stick with using the reply feature to make a better opposing argument.
There you go then, since we're the only ones who have human resources.
How about your kids go first. Then they can all work for my kids.
Why not have swappable batteries and have stations change them out for a fee, like they do with propane tanks?
...someone will open a farm, raise the cows (cruelty free), get the leather....
You can have cruelty-free or you can have leather. Pick one, you don't get them both.
The Mobro 4000 was a garbage barge that had to cruise back and forth between the U.S. and Central America back in the '80s.
Then you might like this other research about the word "fuck". In fact, that's the name of the article.
That just leaves more women with nice big round asses for Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy.
Sure, although I was thinking more like Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt.
