Liberals are always fancying themselves to be "intellectuals." You'd think that "intellectuals" would put forth good ideas, instead of just name-calling their opponents (conservatives are "authoritarian", there's something "pathological" about them).
"Catastrophic failure across the whole society" is mostly the legacy of "intellectual" social engineering. And yes, "intellectuals" will continue to be perceived as wishy-washy, because they are!
Except you would be committing fraud if you tried to sell your pennies as "copper", because pennies are mostly zinc. The only copper in a penny is that portion contained in the bronze plating.
If only the damn kids would use the school's computers for what they were intended. It seems to me that the school computers are mostly used for non-academic purposes by the students who use them, like playing Flash video games, etc.
Personally, I think access on school computers ought to be limited to a certain few specific online library sites that are created specifically for the kind of research high schoolers need to do, and perhaps several newspaper and major news agency websites.
Yes indeed. A little bit late. If iso-8859-1 was good enough to encode the KJV Bible that the Apostle Paul used, it's good enough for me. Any other charsets are obviously tools of Cthulhu, and are meant to deceive the very elect!
While the officers are doing the takedown is not the time to ask for their badges, I would guess, since doing so is distracting and interferes with the law enforcement action.
Stem Cells are supposed be our Salvation from all manner of disease! The next step toward Eternal Life! Oh, woe, woe, woe. How could this have happened?
Why wouldn't you be able to tell what you're buying?
If there is money to be made from selling gauaranteed non-cloned beef, then you can be assured that someone will market it, and label it as such. Witness the use of the "organic" buzzword.
My parents would have made it so they wouldn't HAVE to monitor my online activities, if they were convinced I was abusing the privilege. They would've just revoked the privilege entirely.
Likewise with all other privileges.
Parents don't need to micromanage their kids' internet usage. If you can't trust your kid to be responsible with his internet privileges, don't let him have any internet privileges.
When privileges get abused, privileges get revoked. This is basic parenting.
Well, if this is an isolated, first time incident, then I guess it wouldn't be right to come down too hard on the parents.
But if the kid has been known to abuse his privileges in the past, and his parents did nothing to effectively curtail it, then by all means, hold the parents' feet to the fire.
I contend that a child that abuses his internet (or any) priveleges ought to have his internet (or other) privileges revoked, at least for a time.
Tough shit if it means it's harder for him to do his homework (that is, if he even cares about his homework). Maybe he won't do it next time.
This isn't really much different from how most CAE software is controlled. When your license key is no longer valid (expired, say) then you're hosed till you ante up (hundreds or thousands of $$) for a renewal.

It's a cookbook!

Heh. This one is even funnier.

...the good old connector conspiracy.
... those linear feedback shift register particles that are responsible for the pseudo-random decay of radioactive materials.
We make sure of it by heaping tons of chores on them....
No need to monitor what video games they buy.
P.T Barnum may not have said it.
The statement, nevertheless, remains true, no?
The expensive ones used by police, firemen, etc. are still called handy-talkies.
Walkie-Talkies are the toy version that kids use....
Yes indeed. A little bit late.

Apparently, "there is no truth after all" is not really true, but just an accepted model?
It's a convenient "inconvenient" truth...
Naw... I think it would be more like this.
While the officers are doing the takedown is not the time to ask for their badges, I would guess, since doing so is distracting and interferes with the law enforcement action.
Heh, no need for faulty voting systems.
The Fourth Estate has had quite a bit of success being the Fifth Column for a while now...
That sounds suspiciously like a thesaurus.

ship hardware dongles with each paid-for copy of the OS?
Of course, dongelizing Windows would probably provide the necessary incentive for cracking the dongle and reproducing it...

Acres, dammit. Not hectares.
43560 square feet, 4840 square yards, 160 square rods or 10 square chains per.
There're 640 of 'em to a square mile.
