yes, i already mentioned many states give out vouchers, my state does, i am not sure about this girls. some states also allow you to choose to use a different public school at no additional charge (however you may have to provide transportation), they even gave this girl that option...though they had also offered to remove the RFID chip from her badge, and she refused both options.
and your property taxes pay for far more than just schooling, it also pays for other state infrastructure, you pay it regardless of if you even have a child.
You have a choice where to work and what conditions you accept in return for your salary. And this is the government doing it and withholding your education if you refuse.
by your own argument she isn't forced to use the govt's education system system either. she can either be home schooled or go to a private school. Some states will even give you vouchers to help offset some of the costs for the private schools tuition.
however i think this "choice" is mostly an illusion. most people don't have the resources to afford them the ability to refuse a job simply because they don't like the conditions. similar many people can't afford the costs of private schooling simply because they don't believe in not carrying an ID Card.
32 bit apps work fine. the problem is many 32 bit apps have 16 bit components, MS didn't include a 16 bit emulator in their 64 bit versions of windows.
and to avoid this problem in the future, MS won't give their "windows certified" logo out to any 64 bit apps that include 32 bit components.
It is a lost cause upgrade your app to 64 bit and move on. if you are really desperate run it in a VM, but then you are just delaying what really needs to be done. if it is a 3rd party vendor, dump them. (and yes i know that can be easier said than done)
but they need that $100k on hand to hand it to you...you then hand it to the person you are buying the house from, and the bank hopes that person then has an account at the same bank and immediately deposits it...then the bank can lather-rinse-repeat and hand it out to the next person.
so they don't entirely create it out of thin air, the bank does need to have some money on hand. so yes that money may very well come from your savings account. and may have been lent out multiple times the value of your account.
you are assuming the school actually cares if the students try to defeat the system. the school gets paid for having high attendance, it would be in their best interest (money-wise) to let a student carry around a dozen tags and claim they didn't realize it was happening if the state ever found out.
Did you actually read your own link? it doesn't really say that. nowhere do i see it mention a "skilled driver"
It says its main purpose is to maintain steering control and can often help shorten stopping distance in good conditions. In many parts of the US the roads can be icy, which i would also call real world conditions, and your Q&A says it often increases braking distance under those conditions. in those sub-optimal conditions the ABS increases braking distance for the purpose of maintaining steering control.
you are right ABS actually in most cases increases stopping distance.
however i say you are wrong on power steering. i have lost power steering multiple times in various cars from a 4-door sedan to a SUV. blew a steering line, blew a pump, engine cut out. you indeed can still steer without it. pulling off the road is easy, taking a sharp turn takes a little muscle, but you can still do it. if you need to do some intricate slow speed maneuvers such as parallel parking...then you are probably screwed. but general driving is typically not too big of an issue with failing power steering, though you are going to get a bit of a workout.
now either failed power brake assist (usually found in SUV's or Trucks) or a blown brake line...those aren't fun!
because the moment you start attacking their core beliefs they will stop listening to you, no matter how right you are and how wrong they are. this is true for anything, not just religion.
you need to approach it from the side, not a direct frontal attack.
yes actually digital photos do have mass. electrons have mass, so that means 1's are heavier than 0's
also for magnetic storage a few years ago, i believe it was IBM (and there as a slashdot article about it, i leave it up to someone else to find it if they want), calculated the theoretical minimum change in mass to change a magnetic bit. from 1 to 0. since E=mc^2 it means that there is a difference in mass between a 1 and a 0 on a hard drive.
so yes, digital photos, even if you only count the bits and don't include the storage media, have mass.
The importance of the big bang isn't so much that it created the universe or matter. the real importance is that it made it move.
I agree there is a lack of understanding of motion, but your kook has it more wrong than most. there are a lot of issues with his argument, but if you really read it you will see he doesn't really even believe in a truly discrete universe. more like a continuous universe with dimples the particles like to rest in. his explanation that particles need to accelerate and decelerate to jump between discrete locations is laughable and shows that he is really just trying to extrapolate his idea of a discrete universe to a continues universe. which brings us back to the infinite regression you seem to be so against. his idea of there only being acceleration just plain doesn't work.
please explain how a continues universe leads to infinite regression? and what is wrong with infinite regression anyway?
oh look i can post blogs from random kooks also, just because they are on the internet doesn't make it a valid source, or even make sense...
one more note a big technology to come out of SETI is techniques for distributed computing, which is now used for folding@home and other applications that could potentially directly benefit us.
This project may not ever actually find a Dyson sphere, but developing the technologies and processing techniques to actually run the search will still help advance or technology. and what happens if they find something that we weren't expecting, that we never would have found because no one was previously looking for heat sources without emitting visible light?
i would say SETI also is not a waste. the data they are gathering can still be useful to other people. and occasionally they find a strange signal that is worth re-checking out, even if it has never been contributed to an alien yet. also they need to think about how to detect an alien signal and so need to refine our signal processing techniques, this itself helps advance our technology and knowledge, and this knowledge may eventually be applied to how we broadcast our own signals such as for use with cell phones or wifi.
a great many discoveries were made while searching for something completely different.

any why shouldn't normal headphones be required to meet most of that criteria?
I would say a rather boring game at that. Even Progress Quest is more interesting as at least you can watch the progress bars.

so, what you are saying, is that if this is really about saving energy they should outlaw distributed computing clients instead...

black holes don't seem to have a problem crossing the barrier.
and an atom by definition cannot be broken down further, but now we know about sub-atomic particles.
sometimes definitions need to change as we learn more and need to add another layer.
the summary says:
the act violated SEC rules because the routed information was not being logged.
are they sure he wasn't logging the data?

that should be a perfectly valid command. i suppose now you are going to want a makefile that has target sandwich...
i guess sometimes it is just easier to make your own sandwich!
