where at present the DNA of those arrested by the police is kept permanently (even if the people concerned are never convicted, or even charged)
I'm pretty sure they already do this in the US with fingerprints. No conviction? Well, if we find your fingerprints at any crime scene in the future, you're gonna get it.
I love it when AC's run around insulting countries. These aren't poor and homeless people stealing copper, these are career criminals or bored teens and twenty-somethings just looking for some extra money and something to do.
This is something that has been going on for a while, and recyclers know stolen copper when they see it and buy it anyway because its cheap. I dont think licensing sellers would cut down on the theft, it may just create the licensed seller as a middleman for the exchange.
I'm not a quantum mathematician by any means, but I read it as you start with a set of axioms that can lead to propositions (options as I understand), but you cant go back from the propositions to find the axioms that resulted in the given proposition. Can we compare this to hashing, a subject we (/.'s) are more familiar with??
I may be (probably am) way off, this is just how I understood it. Anyone else??
I still dont get what you are trying to tell me. Because I used passed instead of past, it somehow drastically changed what I said, because it didn't, and everyone that has such huge problems with grammar mistakes need to chill. We are posting on the internet, not writing a novel or a thesis paper. Do I need my coworkers to come and peer review my posts before I submit them?? This is ridiculous and people posting grammar corrections are inherently flamebait because they don't serve a purpose, you cant edit your comments. You claim you are trying to educate, but you insult and demean at the same time, which proves you are trying to score mod points off grammar junkies, or you do get some sense of intellectualized self-satisfaction from correcting people. I suppose the more accurate statement should have been I wasn't taught anything I see as serving a purpose past elementary. The only purpose I have found so far in using perfect grammar is to not get into an argument on slashdot about grammar.
If I was to be as fussy with compounds as you are about grammar, I would be saying that you saying H20 and CO2 is meaningless because you did not use subscript.
I would have to disagree, it is a free market, because even though there is not a currency involved, these distros are competing for users. The more users, the more people there are to contribute, the better the system gets, the more people use it, and the snowball keeps rolling.
Not to get ideological here, but I see communism more as something you would be forced into "for your own good", like Windows.
just as long as CO2 is not considered pollution. If humans are exhaling pollution, we are apparently destroying the planet and just need to end our lives.
So my grammar was incorrect, and I have admitted to it, but read this to see where I am coming from. You obviously understood what I was saying, otherwise your response would not have been tailored to what I said. Communication is art with a purpose, and when it serves its purpose (understanding), being a grammar whore is treating the written word as art for art's sake, which doesn't really serve a purpose, other than your own need to put others down for some strange sense of self-satisfaction.
I have lived in MN my whole life, the public school system pushes the soft sciences here. Real sciences and math are being phased out, by unelected officials appointed by our legislature many many years ago.
And that is exactly why I began saving for retirement at 20. Not going to be working at 80, but not going to be relying on the government, who is slowly becoming everyone's rich uncle.
Ok, so my grammar is not perfect, but I did get my point across, and you understood what I said. Mistakes in math crash systems and cause bridges to fall, where grammar mistakes make English nerds cry. (Not trying to flame either, just wanted to try and make my point with some humor)
We just have a general disagreement on what parts of an education that are currently being offered (and forced upon us) are important, and that is perfectly ok, but we both should have been able to exercise choice earlier in life to avoid things that do not interest us, and are not going to benefit us. Chemistry and Biology classes were a decent exercise in short term memory, but that was it for me. The periodic table of elements, balancing chemistry equations, and learning the Latin names of animals and insects was something learned, tested on, and forgotten about never to be thought of again (until I need to remember it to write about all the time I wasted.)
The problem is that they'll stop bringing in that surplus and start spending from savings in a couple of years
This is a problem, but it is not THE problem. The problem as I see it is that people should have to pay for their own retirement. Retirement is not a right, and with all the jobs that can be done while sitting, I don't see it as being something that necessarily has to happen. It did make sense at a time where most jobs consisted mostly of physical labor, but this is no longer the case.
Worthless, LOL -- it's subpar and possibly terrible, but worthless?
I suppose worthless was a bit harsh. It does function as a form of daycare.
I graduated from high school in 04 and I have a brother who will graduate this year. Outside of math classes (which are electives after sophomore year) nothing of use was taught to me passed elementary school. More choice needs to be enabled, so we aren't being held hostage until 18, 16, or 15 depending on the state you are in. It should have been up to me and my parents to get the hell out of there and start some post secondary much earlier in life. There is so much waste (more of time than money) within these institutions and something needs to be done.
I predicted this before I read it. Anything a government is going to provide you will also be completely controlled by them.
...but might allow adults to opt out.
That's the same thing they said about parents who want to home school their kids rather than sending them to public schools, but is not the case, they still have to pay for other peoples kids via taxes to get the worthless education currently being provided.
It all began with giving loans for house to people who were not capable of paying them back, which created the housing bubble because people assumed prices would do nothing by go up. This is almost the definition of protectionism. The credit market isn't frozen, lending institutions are smartening up and have stopped giving loans to those undeserving of them. Those with good credit can still get loans. The credit markets are not frozen, they have just learned from their mistakes.

I am sick of salting my popcorn anyway.

Read this for info on what i think of your grammar criticisms. Its funny how most that complain about the grammar are AC's

Hey, how about that, I got this trunk full of wood, and that hitchhiker is holding an axe. How convenient.

If you are going to be a grammar nazi, do it properly. Passed is a verb (and was used properly), where past can be a noun, adjective or adverb.

Don't forget the blow
Its not the markets that are failing, its the mixing of free markets and protectionism that brought us to this point.
