In the district my taxes go to, teachers start at $39,400, plus salary credits for experience, retirement contributions, 85% medical coverage, and tuition reimbursement. So maybe there are a couple first-year teachers making south of $40k. This is not a good or rich district - below 50% graduation rate and 80+% students on free and reduced lunch.
How do the Blank Panthers, or any other group, intimidate voters? The ballot is secret, no? How can someone intimidate you into making a certain choice when they will never know what choice you made?
an economic good as a mass-produced unspecialized product
a good or service whose wide availability typically leads to smaller profit margins and diminishes the importance of factors (as brand name) other than price
a class of goods for which there is demand, but which is supplied without qualitative differentiation across a market
Race is not a choice. He thinks homosexuality is a choice. He believes it is okay to attack people who make a particular choice, but not to attack people for something over which they have no control. With that mindset, it is not hypocrisy.
You make the mistake of thinking that people decide what is good. That is now how the music industry works. The cartel tells the people what is good, and they buy it. How will people know what to recommend as good if they do not hear it on the radio and see the cute band members on TV?
Why? Oracle does not care about Java on the client, only about Java on the server. Why should they care about flaws in applets, it is unrelated to their business.
We could start fixing the design of our cities. Build public transit instead of ever wider freeways. Build pedestrian and bicycle infrstructure instead of more parking. Add congestion charges to urban centers. Stop rezoning land so developers can build even more malls and retail strips a few miles farther out of town than the ones they are abandoning. Stop giving tax breaks to developers building on the fringes of the suburbs. Reduce speed limits in cities. Add traffic calming devices.
Car traffic in this country is heavily subsidized. In short, we just need to stop subsidizing it.
Of course, this is politically infeasible, because the auto instustry and oil industry have already paid for the politicians and the voters are not paying any attention. But it is technically and financially feasible.
Don't blame the electric vehicle. Electric trains and buses are great. Blame the car. We haul around a ton and a half of vehicle, starting and stopping all the time, for a person or two and a bit of luggage, and we design our cities and infrastructure to space stuff out and increase reliance on the car. If your goal is to reduce air pollution today and into the future, get rid of the car as the primary mode of transportation.
I gave up on ATI's drivers too and bought a new laptop with an nVidia card. The state of the drivers is so pathetic that the laptop will not even boot nine times out of ten unless I disable the discrete card and use the integrated Intel GPU because otherwise the Optimus screws everything up. I will take occasionally buggy ATI over completely non-functional nVidia next time.

I was not complaining. I was refuting the AC's claim:

Why is connecting to an open WiFi access point a security problem? The device should never trust the network.

Education is not a commodity.
Solution: send your kids to a private school. Now it is up to the parents to make sure the kid is in school so they get their money's worth.

We are inside the simulation. The only way we could go outside the memory boundaries of the simulation is if there is a bug.

You are mixing your metaphors. The sayings are "If it walks like a duck. . ." and "call a spade a spade".
You can install Java without installing the browser plugin.

Correct. Most of them are not even paying attention now.
What happened to all those free-love anti-war hippies from the 60s in the USA? They were a small minority then, and a small ignored voting block now.
Politicians do not need to worry about the vocal youth, the other 95% of the youth will grow up to be boring old citizens who will toe the line.

It is easier, but for political, not technical, reasons.
Girls need male role models too.

What is wrong with that?
Maybe it was a random 6 character password from the entire UTF16 space?
FLAC can handle up to 8 channels, up to 32 bits per channel, and a sampling rate up to 655350 Hz.
Redbook CDs use 2 channels, 16 bits per channel, and 44.1kHz sampling rate.
FLAC is lossless from perspectives of much higher quality that CDs.
The court can only order your execution after you have been convicted.
The article is not clear, but it sounds like the demand was made prior to conviction.
If you're too much of a lazy fat ass to crank-start your engine and you need to turn a metal key, you deserve to get your car stolen.
If it must start every morning, just get a non-M E30.
