Our society, our entire world, has become obsessed, gripped by an inoxerable (sp?) fear of anything we can't quantify or control. No one bothers to stop and think. No one takes the time to consider what they are doing.
If I was in this kid's situation, locking me up for 10 days would make matters a thousand times worse. I think the same could be said for just about everyone. By doing what they did, the powers that be just bred for themselves a bigger problem than the kid would have been in the first place. You can be sure that he has zero respect for authority, zero respect for the intelligence of our government and our criminal justice system after this incident. He followed instructions, he did his assignment, and for that he was thrown in prison.
When are we going to realize that this is not working? When is it going to sink in that such rash overreactions make matters infinitely worse, and certainly not better. Locking up a seventh grader for over a WEEK for something like this is obscene. The teacher LAUGHED when he read it aloud; I would hope that she is feeling guilty for having informed any higher authorities of the matter now, I imagine that she certainly did not want such severe action taken. If anything, she simply wanted the kid to get any help he needed, not to get locked up for a week.
We need some kind of regulation, some kind of measures put into place to stop this kind of abuses of our justice system. The American system is giving itself a bad name with these obscene overreactions, and something has to be done about it.
That's my $0.02, from someone who has been there and done that. Got the T-Shirt too.
What I can't understand is why the need is always felt to make things easier, to make them "more accessible." You do that, and you destroy the entire point of switching to a more powerful OS, because you rip away some of the power to add ease of use.
Instead of spending time to make the OS itself easier to install or use, why don't we make better documentation and simply EXPLAIN the current process better. This way it becomes more accessible, and the power and flexibility remains totally intact. I'm sure you can get to it with the "easier" distros, but I would wager it is harder to get to.
Just my $0.02. And probably not very good, 'cause I'm a BSD user myself:)
The Apache mod_perl module does all kinds of fun insane pre-compilation and caching of Perl for you automagically. You can write Perl modules or CGI to be run in the Apache::Registry wrapper which will be compiled once and cached by Apache until you run it again. This keeps systems running slick and smooth, and is largely what Slashdot uses to the best of my knowledge. I've deployed it on a somewhat large scale myself for totally dynamic content, and it has worked great. Just about every page of a specific portion of my site is generated on the fly with information users have authenticated with and corresponding information from an SQL database with very little performance loss. I couldn't be happier!
You can find mod_perl information in a number of places, including perl.apache.org.
If you actually read the article, it quite clearly explains the process of being eliminated. People don't actually "die" or "survive" other than surviving the tests without being kicked off the island. The screening process is quite intense, so hopefully no worries about lunatics. It is always possible, but not particularly likely. The regulations (and application) can be found here.
The fact of the matter is that this all depends on your point of view. A total technophobe might tell you that the end has already come in this respect, whereas a technology junkie would tell you you've been smoking some pretty powerful drugs to come up with ideas like this.
It is really hard to generalize on something that everyone (or anyone) will agree on with this topic. For me it is easy to see that technology can become too much; the guy next door might think he can never get enough, and maybe he never will. We need to step back and look at the overall picture of what the technology is doing to the world as a whole; once we get there, it may be possible for those of us with differing opinions to agree.
As I see it, technology, as a (rather big) whole, has improved the way we see ourselves going through life. Whether or not it really IS easier, we still perceive it as easier. Running a dishwasher and getting it fixed every couple of years as opposed to doing lots of dishes every night seems like a pretty good trade, even if it does end up costing a couple hundred dollars each time the thing needs fixing.
It can be too much though. The point at which our productivity falls, at which point the technology HINDERS us, is where the problems begin. That point is different for every person, for every technology, for every situation. It can't be easily quantified or measured. That is another place where we, as a society, run into problems. We, by nature, want everything to be identifiable by a number, a measurement, a reading, a specification. We don't like the ambiguity of this, and so we tend to say it is all good or all bad. Either extreme will not work, and will only lead to conflict. We must find our OWN levels of tolerance for the technology, for the situations we are in.
Whether or not you can set up servers on a cable modem connection depends on your particular cable company's policies more than anything else. I know that Time Warner in the Central NY region (I *think*) has "servers" forbidden (but not ever DEFINED) in their user agreement. Also, to the best of my knowledge, they block inbound port 25. A friend of mine has had lots of problems trying to get them to open this port, even on a case-by-case basis. In a lot of cases, they just don't care about the customers; as long as they get their money, they are happy.
Mind you, this is not always the case. The San Jose Road Runner service from Time Warner (sorry if I am wrong about the area, I last heard about this a while ago) will open port 25 on a case-by-case basis after determining that the user doesn't have an open relay. This is a sensible procedure to prevent problems with spamming abuse, and should be a stand that more providers take.
Basically, make sure you check out policies before you do something like running any type of server; you might get screwed out of your connection and payment if they decide to shut you down.
Now if we could just get some additional, good, free, open-source operating systems ported to run on this chip, it would be even better.
LinuxPPC is there, and good; I've been very impressed by what it can do. But wouldn't we all like to see FreeBSD, or other Linux distributions ported to run (and run well) on PPC chips? And even better, now on the G5. I can just see the performance of a full 64-bit native OS running on that chip... *drool*
But then again, we have plenty of time before they come out to do the work!
In reality, he did have to know something about the politics. But Katz does have a point; in our governmental system, the supporting framework of advisors and other politicians is structured such that any one link without superb political knowledge can get by, even do well.
In fact, helping end the cold war could arguably be said happened because Reagan wasn't a bullshit politician, he was a bullshit actor. For any of us other than the idealists, politics is just an extension of acting anyway, and should be treated as such. Reagan could probably have talked his way out of anything.
I don't want to talk trash about Reagan; he was one of the better leaders of our time, and as you pointed out he made much progress. But this doesn't mean he had to fit the typical stereotype of the politician with so much political and economic savvy. Acting is a big part, and Presidents need to be given credit for that.

: Is being treated differently because you are : younger than 18 discriminatory? Hell yes, but it : is also the point at which the LAW determines : whether or not you're an adult. As arbitrary as : it sounds, the law says the day before you turn : 18 is different than your birthday.
Well, actually, in most if not all states, you are considered to have reached the age of majority on the day before your 18th birthday. Therefore the day before and the day of are the same, but two days before would be different:)

The problem, if you had read and paid more attention to the information in the articles about this issue, is that the content IS aimed towards Chinese citizens, both here in the US and abroad, including in China...
Also, in case you also somehow "forgot" to learn up on Cisco before posting totally off-topic about it, you would know that Quality of Service tools in Cisco routers are by no means new, nor by no means a problem when used correctly by scrupulous service providers.
And playing with DNS like that is neither fun nor easy, and not a solution to the problem. The fact still remains that the Chinese Government (or whoever it really is) is attacking a machine with neither provocation or reason... so it really means nothing at all to just change which machine is getting attacked.

I currently go to high school. I live in a small area of New York, go to a small Catholic high school. I am about as close to a hardcore nerd that you will find around here, although I will not claim to be as into it as some. But enough.
I assume because of the size of my area and school, I have not had nearly the trouble that is described here. I do fit the description though, every last point of it. I'm a nerd, a geek, whatever you want to refer to us as. But I am certainly no killer. I have played my fair share of violent games. But I am certainly no killer. It takes a heck of a lot more than that to "make" a person into a killer. There have to be pre-existing conditions, other problems, with deeper roots. Simply spending time in front of a computer screen doesn't turn a person into a cold-blooded killer.
I also know what it is like to have high school as a living hell. Middle school too. For years I have been singled out as the geek, the smart one who no one likes, but everyone suddenly is best friends with when they need help on their homework. It is, by no means, fun. Others are envious, jealous of the abilities of the geeks, the nerds. They turn that jealousy into hate, rage, and insults. They take out their own percieved inadequacy on us. For what reason? Simply because they are, themselves, too weak to handle it!
I, however, am somewhat atypical in a different way. I have found a way out, an escape from high school, away from the mindless peers who feel the need to raise themselves up by putting others down. No, I'm not going to kill people and go to jail (interesting, but stupid idea). I'm leaving high school, and going to a more conductive, productive environment at college/university. I want everyone to know that you can do it too. It is possible, and even sometimes encouraged, to leave high school a year early, go to college, fulfill your freshman year there, which concurrently filling your senior graduation requirements and graduating with your class. Some special programs exist for people wishing to do this. The ones I have encountered are at The University of Southern California and Clarkson University. Despite my acceptance to the Clarkson School (their special program), I have decided to take my education to the next level at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, whose support and project-based curriculum caught my eye.
So, my point is, you can do something about your situation. Those of you still early in your high school years, maybe there is less you can do. But there is hope ahead. Never give up, never forget who you are. Do not let yourself be defined by what is "in" or "cool." Be who you are, and do it without hurting others. Be persistent, and you will be heard.
