No, it frightens "grownups" too. It's just that later in life you're segregated away from those people by your education, career, and your income: where you live, where you shop, where you go for fun and so on.
This problem eventually goes away as people are sorted into classes based on their achievement.
It is caused because schools are a "melting pot" for people from various social strata, personalities and intellectual levels.
As people go through life, they tend to segregate and associate with similar people.So bullying based on intelligence diminishes or goes away entirely. I mean, you're not going to be bullied by your peers for being smart if you're a grad student in engineering physics.
The fix is to identify the talented and smart kids as early as possible and whisk them off to separate schools, where they not only benefit from being away from the bullies, but also benefit from a more advanced, accelerated curriculum.

Here is a good way to express it. People have a right not to be ACTIVELY marginalized (i.e. singled out in some way and oppressed). People do not have a right not to be PASSIVELY marginalized (living in some disadvantaged way due to their own inability or inaction).
Leftist "rights" advocates are not able to see the difference.
Rainbow tables are used for attacking hashed passwords. They are a reverse dictionary of hashes back to plaintext passwords.
These hotmail passwords are obviously stored in clear text, otherwise how would they be able to just chop them at 16 characters?
(The only way would be if they had anticipated such a change way back when the hashes were generated, and they generated a 16 character hash along side a full hash, and so now they are just switching which hash they use.)
So if you gain access to Hotmail's password storage, you don't need any tables, you just read the passwords.
If you don't have access to the password storage, then having rainbow tables is moot. You're reduced to making login attempts by brute force.
From the article it is evident that she made precise measurements with lab equipment and presented them in court. Any of her colleagues could have repeated those measurements.
Early 1990s MUD games had telnet connections in the three digits. As in, handling raw character input from the players, not nicely aggregated packets from a client GUI. That was on hardware like Sun boxes that pale in processing power and memory size compared to... oh, your Jesus mobe, and such.
Look up partial pressure in some physics book. If you have gas in some leaky container at some pressure, it doesn't matter that there is another gas at another pressure outside of that container. Even if the different gases are at equal pressure, what will happen is that each will diffuse into the other through the aperture. That diffusion depends just on the respective partial pressures.
Helium at a lower pressure does not face an uphill battle due to the excess pressure outside of the container. It just diffuses through the apertures in the imperfect containers at a lower rate due to its lower pressure.
What would slow down the leak would be if there was helium on the outside at the same pressure, because then there would be as much helium diffusing into the container as diffusing out. But there is very little helium outside the hard drive, it being such a rare gas.
I think that if the apertures in the leaky container are such that helium can escape, but air cannot get in, then in fact the container will slowly evacuate. Pressure in that container will gradually drop as helium escapes, while hardly any finds its way back in.
Though helium is not listed, look how much higher the figures are for hydrogen. Interesting!
Another interesting thing is how the hydrogen curves vary so little with pressure, right down to very low temps.
If helium is similar to hydrogen, it would be good at removing heat. As far as heat transfer trhough the gas goes, I would expect that to be aided by convection.

If they don't kill them swiftly and surely after release, they will go on to be pests.

Who else would lie like that?
Or North Korea.
They do not belong in the free world.
A mailing list is much nicer. No web UI to deal with. Just your e-mail client. Everything sorted into folders. Easy to get private replies.
A properly run mailing list with anti-spam filtering doesn't even have to require users to subscribe before posting.
Have a question? Just fire it off to the mailing list address. Replies go to you and if "reply all" is used, they are CC'd to the mailing list.
I support Bob's opposition to Google docs.

Blast from the past: http://www.theonion.com/articles/worlds-top-scientists-ponder-what-if-the-whole-uni,712/
People have 30+ year old equipment that hasn't had a cap job and it works fine.
Simples as that.
What have you actually made?
That is the question.
Software experience isn't a collection of language names matched with years.

Not being marginalized is not a human right.

You can reduce an arbitrary length password to a hash. (Say, 128 bits). You store that.
Rainbow tables are used for attacking hashed passwords. They are a reverse dictionary of hashes back to plaintext passwords.
These hotmail passwords are obviously stored in clear text, otherwise how would they be able to just chop them at 16 characters?
(The only way would be if they had anticipated such a change way back when the hashes were generated, and they generated a 16 character hash along side a full hash, and so now they are just switching which hash they use.)

If you don't have access to the password storage, then having rainbow tables is moot. You're reduced to making login attempts by brute force.
This reveals that they are storing the passwords in cleartext.
You cannot make such a change on hashed passwords!
If you chop only 16 characters, you will not compute the same hash as before.
Storing the passwords in cleartext means that if they are compromised, the passwords are available to the intruder without having to crack hashes.

Check this out. The heat transfer coefficients to various gases also vary wildly (measured as fluid flowing over tube bundles).
