How much technology did he have access to, that his parents had not? Would he have lived a better life with only pre-60s techology? I don't think so. It's called progress, and it's generally coupled with better life conditions. Now excess is the bad thing, and growing up well means balancing all the good and bad things in life. This is somethig the parents can, and must, help with.
I'm already doing all that's in my power for public schools (and for hospitals, roads, etc), it's called "paying my taxes". Then if everything public sucks, the fault is somewhere else.
Why the hell are there so many arguments about life coming from outside heart? I heard scientits saying it came from comets from outer space, from Mars, etc. Why would life be able to originate everywhere in the universe but not here?
The problem is, this will hurt the good people too, and while we're munching popcorn, our mailbox will fill up with spam, and the sites we like will fill up with malicious scripts.
Well, I read several reports that China has a very high degree of pirated licenses, I don't remember the sources and the actual data. And we don't know how many of those PCs are keep up to date.
Sorry I misunderstood. By the way, I always wondered why many countiries would create a custom linux distribution, and not use for example Debian or Ubuntu and simply provide a default list of installed packages. Is there a strong technical reason apart from political control and censorship?
So are you suggesting that China make its own OS? If every country in the world made a different OS for fear of control from another nation, the software world would turn into a nightmare. Standardization is good in technology, and has always been pursued (think POSIX, FreeDesktop, etc). And anyway every high-level technological hardware component we use is made by a couple of countries in the world only. A nation can use free software if it wants to be safe against hidden espionage holes.
To be more precise, usually electrocution happens because there are several paths with different (unknown) resistance each one, some of which were not foreseen, and the current is split amongst them in proportional way. And if your body is one of them, at 200A you only need a small fraction to die.
This is quite an optimistic view, the current could flow from one feet to the other one, electrocuting other interesting body parts. Or you might have your hand on another surface and close the circuit there.
Those cables carry a pretty high voltage and current, and presumably have to be near the surface for the EM field to be effective, and the road pavement tend to wear pretty fast. The cables may have a good insulation, but that might be eroded by vehicles if the pavement is broken in some points. So I hope they considered the risks for people walking on the street; anyway, innovative solutions to pollution problems are always welcome.

blame the engineer who designed God
You mean Man. This is recursive.
Did he comply? We've seen that NSA has pretty solid arguments to force people.

I hate to be pedantic
No, you all love it, be honest.
It's the game theory: when someone does it, the other ones feel they must too, to not be left behind.
Indeed. It all depends on where they put the line between essential OS services and google's extra services.
But then you cannot download any new application when it comes to your mind?
... would you stop equating every public service to communism? You're becoming quite ridiculous.

Pilgrims' spaceship goes there and they give birth to USM (United States of Mars)
I meant "earth", sorry.

That "religion" is a fake religion created to protest against the real religious impositions in society.

I do a lot of development for Access and Excel in VBA
So you're part of the problem! :-)
Here in Italy, until a couple years ago, the ticket machines at the train stations were running OS/2.

Estimating how many of those computers have a valid XP license, China might be a less relevant customer to Microsoft than me and you together...

Tourists? North Korea? Uh?
