Actually, most studies have shown that, for every dollar spent on rehabilitation (drug rehab; job training; religious training (yeah, I know, it's stupid)) that saves between 2 and 5 dollars in future incarceration costs, to say nothing of the benefit to society.
Not only that, those who go into generally 'hard' prisons tend to come out hardened criminals. There is a strict social order in prison, which doesn't exists in the real world; there is a strong incentive to become 'hard' in prison (self protection); there is a general sense of resentment. By putting people in "hard" prisons, we make it so that they tend to be more likely to recidivate.
Most crime is caused by poverty; poverty is caused by a failure of society. By rectifying these failures, we can eliminate most crime.
As someone who has been following the Songbird dev for a long time (And having contributed their fair share of bugs), I can say that it's a great player. The iPod support is very solid; the themes are not required; the plugins are actually useful; and it's just a damn nice thing to see it getting its due.
Yeah, damn those Straight-A students with drug-addict fathers! They're so god-damn unproductive! How dare we try to make sure they can better themselves with a college education, which they can't afford without help! How DARE we!!!
Point is, not everyone who's poor is unproductive.
The best way to deal with poverty is to break the cycle. And the best way to break the cycle is to give people the proper tools to do it.
Is this even legal? This is my device; if it does something I don't like, and can't disable it, that seems like an attack on my rights; to do it to sell ads... that's just low, D-Link!
You're just fishing around for anything. Helping people is good; giving people what they don't deserve is bad. Even people who think we need to expand the welfare system think this. Get over it, moron.
"Yet, we already spend more money per student in public school than nearly all other Western nations. Specifically, we spend 35% more than the Germans. "
And yet we still fall behind...
It's not a money problem, I'll agree. It's a cultural thing. There are some smart black people (think like Malcolm X and MLK types) around today, it's just that they tend to be the ones who actually lived through the Civil Rights era. I admire any smart person, whether black, white, or whatever.
Modern youth culture is, itself, a detriment to education. Instead of "work hard!" it's "fuck the right people over!"
Odd thing: One of the first things I was taught in management is that, if you, for example, displace workers by increases in efficiency, then you put them to work elsewhere - NOT fire them. It's crazy, I know.
Offtopic to this post, but still, I wanted to say.

If you're posting to slashdot and you haven't figured that out... you're retarded. Literally.
Anyway, I like cloud services. They make life easier for the masses. Plus, raising awareness for backups is always nice! :D

and both foobar and norton will suck. It's not the numbers it *can* detect, it's about how *well* it detects them and how little resources it takes.
Wow. I wish I had that kind of money. And time. And ability.

just so you know, Kerry got like 85% of the black vote. It's a party thing, not a race thing.

Thank you!!!
Also, God is a liberal.
What is it with this libel from you asses?

Like the inventor of perl?
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Of course he won't say it! No one wants to hear that. You have to do your own research on his site to find that stuff out.
Nope; it's a BCM4318. The b43 driver is solid on sabayon, flaky as shit on ubuntu.
Damn slashcode! That's supposed to be "less than" 3. Bastardized HTML my posts are not.
It's... very much a distro thing.
Ubuntu, despite having newer kernels and stuff, doesn't support my wifi card like Sabayon does. I 3 that distro ^-^
Actually, it *would* make it harder. "We can't be sure he'll *actually* vote our way... why bother..."

Really, It's All Available
Free Crap, C'mon!
Mighty Things, Verily.
You damn fool! He *is* an alien!!!
Damn! You beat me to it!!
BUt, yeah...
Jello Biafra had it right. MTV, get off the fucking air!!!
I was hoping they meant they were gonna, like... make it easier to run linux on... or something...
This is useless to me, since I don't even *use* my ps2 anymore, except for quick games of Guitar Hero every few weeks.

so that's what it's called here...
Who the hell cares? Free wifi. I can get that pretty much anywhere.
What, is this like "Oh, it has the word "iPhone" in it, so we HAVE to put it up front!" ?
