From personal experience, if I'm feeling depressed then I spend more time on Facebook and less on everything else. If I'm feeling pretty good, I'll have Netflix and about two dozen websites of articles, games, etc open and forget all about social media sites.
Opera Mini (not to be confused with Opera Mobile, their actual browser) is called a "remote document viewer" or something because it goes through Opera's servers, which handle rendering, compression, etc. So at any time, Opera Mini only ever connects to Opera's servers as opposed to a web browser which will connect directly to the web host. It's a technicality only from the user's viewpoint... under the hood, they work fairly differently.
It's not missing, it has stealth capabilities so advanced it can even affect inventory systems. The only known countermeasure is counting on your toes.
Most people in the US probably wouldn't notice if we were cut off from the outside world for quite a while. Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, etc is all hosted within the US I believe. I can't think of any sites that are primarily hosted outside of the US that a *majority* of US citizens use on a daily basis.
That's anecdotal and really doesn't represent the concept of "average". Another anecdote: My Bachelors from a state school cost about $11000/yr or under $45000 for four years. I've compared it to a majority of other state schools in this state and it comes out to just below average.

I've seen a few different numbers for "average loans for a Bachelor's degree", but they're pretty much all in the $23-$27k range, which isn't too bad for a ten year loan. The huge six figure numbers are usually the result of bad financial decisions such as repeated deferments, etc. I graduated with about $24000 in loans at the beginning of 2010. As of now, I have $3800 remaining in spite of being paid far below industry average for this area and having an nice townhouse for nearly double the rent of a basic apartment. The main problem most people have is a complete lack of money management. We have a Wii and a handful of games. We subscribe to Netflix but don't have cable and our 32" TV is plenty big enough. Most people make plenty of money to handle student loans, they just handle it poorly. Of course, there are some truly useless degrees out there that aren't worth it (I'm looking at most of you people with a BA) - I just wish a guidance counselor would have the balls to tell students "Are you sure that's the degree you want? It won't net you any more money than you'll make without it"

" It fucking depends on you."
That's about the size of it. College is great for some people, military is better for others, entrepreneurship for others, and just getting an entry-level job out of high school for others still. There's no "right path" for everyone. College will provide more opportunities for the vast majority of people (assuming they think about the school and degree they choose before committing), but no, it's not right for everyone. I've seen many people flounder and fail with a college degree, I've seen many people succeed without one and I've seen quite a few put off college until their 30's or later when they've already established themselves in their field of choice (an option many people overlook but it certainly valid).
Nowhere does it says they're unbreakable. Even the summary says "hard-to-break". It just says shatterproof, which is very different from not being able to break it at all.
Under the terms of use from the school, he/his kid were allowed to install software on the laptop. The only reason they didn't get to keep the laptop permanently is because they were moving prior to the kid's graduation.
That was my first thought, as I hadn't heard of Ouya before this. I was wondering how they managed to make a console out of a Ouija board. A tormented spirit in every box!
Err, did you bother to read... anything? They're not shipping units for sale, they're shipping dev units to people that backed them on Kickstarter. These units will almost all be going to the people who posted the money, not given away as gifts. The commercial product is still not yet for sale.
By your logic, every single nurse where I work should be an IT expert just because we also have an IT department. Oh wait, while they might talk to other nurses in their department about a non-work computer they probably won't bring it to the IT department to look at? How bout that, not everyone in an organization with an IT department happens to work in the IT department.
Kicking in a door is illegal as a private citizen and is not something you would expect a private citizen to do. Installing software to monitor his kid's activities is something perfectly legal and well within the realm of what a private citizen might be expected to do. As with many laws, there's a gray area that you have to actually use your brain to determine if something is reasonable or not. There's no slippery slope no matter how much you tilt your head.
It's sort of like an off-duty cop who happens to be in a store when it's robbed and takes action as a police officer. His initial being there is just part of being a citizen. Once the robbery started, he made the shift from citizen to law enforcement as would be expected even though he's off-duty.
Or not every single FBI agent is a computer expert and he just talked with some co-workers in his department rather than having the FBI's IT team take a crack at it. Which is why they would have taken it to an IT shop.

The atmosphere. Move Venus out to the orbit of Earth or even Mars and it would still be way too hot and toxic.

I wasn't aware that USA stood for United South America

2010... not long enough for inflation to account for a whole lot.

It helps when you own the company you work for
Apple's team is very skilled, so you can replace the 'or' with an 'and'

Which is... exactly what I said
Not everyone is that paranoid. Some people like the convenience of saving cookies and cache across sessions.
This is how Opera has done it from the beginning... I'm really surprised the others haven't at least made it a non-default option yet
You don't need a license to counterfeit money. Print money, sure, but not to counterfeit money.
