Exactly. Mentoring a group of 10 relatively intelligent children is a lot easier than dealing with 1 mentally challenged one, in which half of the time you won't even be teaching academics but life skills. Social and life skills should ideally be taught separately from any classroom environment but that becomes even more expensive and time consuming.
This happens in College too. If you are in college check out how much they spend on Honors students versus the mentally challenged. In 96 my first year of community college I discovered the school I was going to, College of the Redwoods was spending like 10k a year on a kid with Downs Syndrome so he could get his Associates Degree in some Criminal Law thing but was spending less than 2k a year on the average student and nothing extra on the brilliant. I pleaded for a Linux server there so we could develop our own meteorological station because we had a ton of equipment that plugged into a serial port. I even offered to bring in my own computer and was rebuffed.
No, they are not losing a significant amount of users. Those same users are the ones who will likely fix and post a solution shortly. When I worked IT I never assumed the first time I went to fix someone's computer that they were tech-savvy but if they were they were the last people I checked in on after a major upgrade because by the time I got to their questions they had usually answered them for themselves and other people.
It is not just the government there it is the people. I visited Boston for a few weeks years ago and my friends seemed to go out of their way to tell me how much of the stuff in their house "fell off a truck" and which restaurants, clubs and bars they could go eat and drink for free in. It seems some individuals and groups of people out there take freeloading to a whole new level.
Well to your point I am ambivalent on militarism as it relates to technology. On the one hand we have truly horrific examples of technology being used in modern warfare to inflict damage on civilian populations. Israel for example has created weapons that are made to inflict maximum "collateral damage" such as cluster bombs and flechette rounds. We also have systems such as JDAMS which have likely saved 10's of thousands of civilian lives and a whole range of non-lethal systems that are being used now and will likely be used more so in the future.
As an engineer I am appealed at the desperation of the Israeli engineers who now make and modify weapons that serve no purpose other than to inflict massive civilian causalities and create psychological terror. Those engineers need to be held to account same as those who make the bomb vests for suicide bombers.
I am just an engineer and I would never work for a government that destroys another country just to rebuild it. They need to bring back assassinations and stop killing civilians to change forms of government.
Because if we had to test every single person for their ability to understand sex, driving or the like than we would something akin to a federal DMV for sex and no one wants that.
Exactly, here in southern Oregon people carry guns because meth has made a lot of rural people completely batshit insane. Our local tv station has a "MethWatch" for the really really crazy ones. I can't find the story online but about a year ago a methhead had to be taken out with a rifle as he was coming into town at speeds of excess of 120 mph.
You forgot one. I rent DVDs and copy them HiDef for my own use. Half the time I don't even watch the original. I have over 4 TB of music and video about half is ripped from my own DVDs and Blu-Ray.
Child abuse is a lot higher than 1% please do not trivialize it. Our only county safe house/shelter for children and mothers had to close last year because people don't like to acknowledge it.
People need to learn to solder as well. I can't tell you how many EE seniors I know that can't solder any better than I could when I was 10 and convinced if I hooked 10 D batteries in series I would be able to get a California radio station in Arizona with a boombox. Ah, precious magic smoke.
Just my own preference, I think 18 years old is a reasonable point at which to consider the vast majority of individuals to be responsible enough to make decisions on their own sexual lives. I used to be into teen sites when I was 25 or so it just doesn't appeal to me anymore.
Have you been to alt.sex newsgroups lately? Every group seems to have links to pedophile and "preteen model" sites if not actual pics. I used to download entire newsgroups at a time to peruse at my leisure but that is impossible today with at least a smattering of inappropriate images in each group. At age 30 I finally just bought a few subscriptions to porn sites because I am sick of seeing anyone sexualized under 21, thats my cutoff point. Get off my lawn!!
Corn based plastics are just the tip of the iceberg, we will be seeing dozens of new plant based plastics in the decade. Just because oil has been used for a 100 years doesn't mean that they will even need it in another 100.
The right thing to do is to find the children that are being abused and help them. Too much attention is paid to preventing people from accessing child porn and not enough on the actual victims. The same thing happens with rape.
Person gets raped and goes to hospital they perform free rape kit everything else medically the victim has to pay for in most states
Rapist goes to court if they catch him and actually prosecute instead of pleaing him out for minimum jail time
Rapist spends 5-7 years getting a degree and getting free counseling and medical care
Victim gets 1-2 years of free counseling "if" they have victim rights laws in that state, than must rely on charity if they can't pony up the money
Rapist is released into the community and gets free counseling and therapy in most states
If we are going to spend 100's of thousands of dollars on anyone after a crime it should be the victim and rape sentences need to be in the 10's of years for a first offense. I should not be meeting people in their mid 20's who are out of prison for rape. They should be old fat diabetic men when they leave those walls.
I got bullied once in Jr High School. Some guy threw a basketball at my head and proceeded to laugh and point at me as I saw stars and blood spurted out of nose.
As soon as the stars stopped I got up and walked around school to my bike and unlocked it. With that U-shaped lock I walked straight up the kid and began smashing it on the back of his head. Some of his scalp came out in chunks and he was knocked out. The coach for the football team wrestled me to the ground and broke one of my fingers and sprained my wrist, but no one ever fucked with me again in school. I am pretty sure other guys have similar stories.
The only way to DDOS Google would be to pool the processing and bandwidth of Yahoo and some other Big guy like Microsoft. These animals can be taken down by eachother one would think.

500 limit on the queue? I don't think I have watched 500 movies in my life and I'm 30. I pry have played 500 video games though.
I would rather governments attempt to kill leaders than civilians. What is the murder of one man against the slaughter of thousands?

Talk to your local construction companies that do commercial buildings. A lot of them use it on site to hookup the trailers.

Will they try selling us higher quality air to shoot the EM signals through?
Here is what they are talking about.

Fine than have 20% of taxes allocation determined by the taxpayers.
I think I could setup an OpenBSD firewall in 5 hours.
