The cases mentioned in the article involve children between the ages of 6 and 10. It was quite a while ago but I was walking to/from school right from grade 1. Also it's Canada so that's different too.
In Ottawa I know that they bus the younger students that are further than a certain distance from the school. For the older students (those in high school I think) they give them a city bus pass and the city adds some extra routes for the students. I live a few blocks from an elementary school and do see some of the local children walking to it so at least some parents haven't been hit by this insanity.
Maybe it's different today because almost everyone now is transmitting their private conversations and data over the spectrum while during WWII it was essentially public radio or something related to the military.
Would it be covered if it was stones being thrown at some software shop in Vancouver, BC that not many people have heard of?
I wasn't saying that the attack was justified or right. I was questioning why the article was on here. ISPs are hit by attacks all of the time and this just seems like an advertisement for the company.
Yes because desalination is so inexpensive and environmentally friendly that you can create so much fresh water in order to replace the rain missing on the mountains./s
If it's too expensive to supply most drinking water in many places in the world then why do many people keep on thinking that you can use desalination for watering crops which would require magnitudes more water? If agriculture isn't feasible then supplying water for nature is completely out of the question.
They probably don't want to rely solely on batteries because it would take a long time to recharge. Fuel cells might provide a solution in that it could be easily recharged. It wouldn't be good to get halfway through a trip, have the batteries run dry, and then need to wait for them to recharge.
A robot has the advantage of not needing breaks or feeding. Plus it would be much easier to transport to where it was needed. Just crate it up and put it on the transport. And when not in use the robot can be placed into storage while a mule or horse still needs to be taken care of.
The problem was how to avoid showing government issued ID when travelling longer distances, not how to travel completely anonymously. I was thinking of using Kijiji or Craigslist to look up someone who was going to where you were going, or at least part ways there. You wouldn't have to show your passport or drivers license in that case. It avoids the problem of hitchhiking being illegal that was brought up.
Biking cross country isn't going to be completely anonymous either unless you have a way to get cash along the way. Assuming that you do the trip during the nice weather you can camp but you still have to buy provisions and the only way to do that without a trace is cash.
When does the right of free passage equate to the right to taking a plane? If the government refused you to leave an area or to go into another one then I could see your rights being denied. But if you can't take a plane there are alternative methods for you to travel. It's the right to free passage, not the right to the fastest method of free passage.
There's lots of ways. Just be creative. - Ride a horse. - Find a ride to share online. - Canoe and portage between bodies of water. - Walk. - Ride a bike. - Could try a cargo ship. They take passengers but I don't know if they check for ID. - See if a trucker would like some company - Hop in an empty boxcar
Well, you probably could ride a horse without identification as long as you stuck to the back roads since you would be a safety hazard on the highways.
Maybe how about stop using a web browser to run net apps? They were never designed to a lot of what they are currently doing and it's amazing that they work as well as they do. It depresses me that web designers are still trying to force browsers to show pages exactly the same in every browser on all computers. Even more depressing are the ones that haven't clued in that your screen size isn't the size of your window.
Using your web browser to run net apps is like using your word processor to edit your images. It's the wrong tool for the job. Adding another web standard for the browsers to follow isn't going to help the situation. HTML and CSS just need to go back to suggesting how a document is to be presented and have all of the extra add-ons taken out.
And what native app's look do you try and mimic? Is it the iOS one? Android? Blackberry? Windows? And what version of the OS? If you are going to provide a look and feel for all of them then you are giving up one of the major advantages of building a web app. Of course trying to mimic the look and feel of a native app in a web app is much harder than building the native app in the first place. At least from my experience in building iOS applications.
Having said that I hate the idea of web apps. Like you said they use more resources. Plus I may be in areas where I don't have access to the Internet. There are some places along my bus ride from the suburbs to downtown where my cell signal disappears. Some people don't, or can't afford, data plans. If the developer shuts down I can still run a native app but I lose access to a web app (along with my data). It shows my age but I hate the philosophy of trying to exactly place elements in HTML as if it is a high end design tool. It was never designed to be that precise. Flexibility in the layout was a feature and so many people are trying to work around it. If you need to precisely lay out your design then use another tool. And you will need to if you are building net apps.
If your dishwasher can't handle some dried on food then you've got a crap dishwasher. I live alone so it takes a while to get a full dishwasher and it has no problem handling dishes that have been left for almost a week. I don't rinse or pre-wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher and they always come out clean.
Why is everyone trying to force kids into a certain path? I know this article doesn't do that but does talk about wanting to introduce programming in the education system.
How about introducing children to a wide range of activities and then encourage the ones that they like? Not everything has to lead into a career. Let children have some fun. Maybe what they discover will turn into a hobby. Maybe it will just be some fun. It could make them some friends. Or they could possibly find their calling.
Two reasons for some of the growth is businesses use it because renting a locker is much cheaper than finding a larger place with more storage and, possibly, people are using the storage when a relationship ends and they are transitioning between homes (for example living in an apartment before buying a new home).
However from observations in my city and according to some articles about the a local self-storage company that is growing at an amazing rate the majority of the business at the self-storage business is people putting away stuff that they don't have room for anymore.
What's to prevent people from voting en-masse for lunatic ideas that might be proposed after an event like 9-11, without any check on their power, with little debate?
How's that different than the current system which passes knee-jerk bills that takes away our rights whenever something happens?
Actually it seems lately that the economy depends on people buying more and more stuff and then renting self-storage lockers to store it in because they don't have enough room at home. I can't believe how many of the self-storage places are being built in my city.
Mind you if people started buying their stuff in wood or bamboo it could be a great way to sequester carbon. Make whatever stuff people are going to buy and then have them store it in the lockers for ages.
There are many people who have grown up that could also follow that advice.
"I know we're in a drought but let's just plant more water thirsty trees and drain the aquifer."
"Let's release these GM insects. Nothing could possibly go wrong." (Heard on a science podcast that they are getting close to doing this. And the GM crops have been so successful in reducing herbicide use.)
No, it's not the same at all. If the cell was unlocked (and all of the other doors leading out of the prison) the prisoner still knows that it's a mistake. In this case everyone, including the state, believed that the proper time was served. The proper papers for the release were signed and the possessions were returned. The people left prison in good faith believing they served their debt to society. Someone escaping jail through an unlocked door knows full well that what they are doing is wrong.

I took it to mean that if Trump won then there would be a race to colonize space in order to escape the planet.

Why just a Jewish charity? Many other groups were targeted by the Nazis and plenty others were impacted by their actions.

And why do we care if they are getting hit with a DDOS? If they are an ISP isn't this just an ad for them?

In a couple months version 457 will come up and it will only be using Chrome extensions.

Ha! Your son's sneakers could be used to freshen the room after opening a Canadian's hockey bag.

Yes, but in this case it does matter since String Theory is a scientific theory (or at least claims to be).
