There is a growing recognition that child labour elimination and the achievement of universal basic education are interrelated challenges – that one cannot be achieved without the other.
In a seminal study, Myron Weiner (1991) accords compulsory education the principal role in eliminating child labour, past and present.
If I had mod points you'd get one. Some parents prefer their children at work instead of at school. They want the quick buck now, and don't put much thought into their kids' future. Obligatory school attendance can help cut down on child labor.
You should have told that to a fellow student at university, back in the early nineties. He sped in town, noticed a flash, stopped the car, ran back, and destroyed the camera. Apparently he didn't do a proper job, though, because police were able to recover the film just fine. They got the licence number from the last picture taken and paid the car owner a visit where they found enough evidence to take him with them.
With this new setup in Maryland he might have a chance to end up in one of these "dumbest drivers" shows.
"And now look at this guy, first unsuccessfully trying to destroy the speed camera, and the failing at disabling the security camera."
Use the phone's IMEI to block access to the (phone) network. (Italian provider TIM outlines the procedure here.) No matter what operator the stolen phone is used with, even if the SIM card has been changed to one of a different operator in the meantime, the phone cannot be used anymore.
Of course, an IMEI can be spoofed or changed by the technologically inclined, so a thief could still get away with it, but I would guess that for the majority of cases it simply works.
I just looked up Matt Taibbi's column, and he was actually able to describe Naked Short Selling in a way that I could understand (and find engaging). I'll make sure to read more of his articles, thanks.
Thank you for this concise translation! Why can't journalists write more down-to-earth like this? Makes things unequivocal und is certainly much closer to reality.
Microsoft can sell a five-year-old variant of OSX, Apple can sell Windows 2030.
The interesting thing about your thought experiment wouldn't be selling an existing product, but being able to implement some features into our own products without being afraid of stepping on just another patent.
But don't limit this move to a single nation or continent; try to make it global: the advancements in all areas would be great, and the majority of people would take great benefit. No holding back or artificial price inflation for much-needed medication, faster development cycles at less cost (less legal battles), musicians would be incentivized to keep coming up with new stuff (and performing live), and tech companies would concentrate on delivering solid products with great service.
The enterprises that are benefitting from the current system could adapt or take a nosedive, but I would like to think that over time a fair number of smaller companies will take their place.
But I'm afraid I getting carried away by my idealism.
Chromium is the project from which Google draws the source code for Chrome. You can get Chromium builds for various platforms, and they do not contain any Google tracking code (which is added to Chrome by Google).
AdBlock and NotScripts are both available, and I find them to work well.
I've been using Firefox for years, when it was still called Phoenix (actually, when it was called Netscape Navigator), but about two years ago I got finally fed up for a variety of reasons.
I installed Chromium and haven't looked back. It's lightweight and fast, the interface looks slick and stays out of the way, and the daily builds run stable on Macs and under Linux.
My thoughts exactly. I bought a Sharp Aquos 40" LED about one and a half year ago. The picture quality is fine (it's a model with the quad pixel tech), but if Apple just wants good picture quality, they might get it cheaper from somewhere else; they don't need and most certainly don't want the steaming pile of dung of firmware/software that comes with Sharp, unless they plan on getting rid of their customers. As a consequence of owning a Sharp I have mostly stopped watching TV; that's fine by me, but probably not what the manufacturer intended (definitely no return business).
I think you are on to something here... Compared to Emacs, Firefox has more than twice the number of LOC. And the former is considered to be a full-blown OS already by some authoritative/.ers, no less.

I didn't mean to generally relate homeschooling to child labor. I should have written "Some of the parents that opt for homeschooling prefer ...".

I think of Clever&Smart's Ophelia!
Fucking superspy.
I think you meant the other Peter.
Now there's a great plot! Please let me know when you decide to write a book, I'll buy it!
Apparently the anonymous GP is in dear need of this t-shirt.
Informative seems close enough since there is no +1 "Disturbingly True".

It's nice to work at a place "where everybody knows your name & they're always glad you came". ;-)
Sounds like the perfect slogan for a brothel.
The TSA info chart is quite interesting.
How long one can go without brushing before decay sets in? Which species of shark?
My sharks brush their teeth regularly! Independently of their species.

You're actually quite good at formatting badly! :)

And why go with Sharp?

You could give MyPaint a try. It is available for Linux, OS X, and Windows, and can be installed from the FreeBSD ports collection.
