Nope, and that is why most of the country is now leaning towards only supervised driving until 18. There are lots of laws in place or in process to further restrict teen driving because the evidence is in: they aren't mentally mature enough for it.
Brain maturation would probably be preferred to puberty in most of the western world, as that is why the accepted age is no longer anywhere close to puberty. (The idea being that consent cannot be formed by an immature mind).
It can't actually be helped. There is no treatment other than castration for such thoughts at the moment, and castration (chemical or physical) has serious long term consequences (are you willing to say, for example, that the penalty for such thoughts is a 20 year long session of torture ending in death...)
And for women who have such thoughts, they really don't know what to do at all.
Sorry, but how do you come to the conclusion that the cost/benefit ratio favors legality here? The costs in socialized services for survivors of abuse are enormous. The costs to prosecute and incarcerate offenders are comparatively tiny.
So if you have books designed to appeal to toddlers, children, teenagers, teens and twentysomethings, and adults, is it really wrong to invent a category name for the teens and twentysomethings? After all, we invented names for all the rest. Young adult has been in use for a LOOONG time (more than a hundred years), so at this point I think it is pretty ingrained. If you'd like the world to switch over to 'old children', you can feel free to campaign for that, best of luck to you.
Not a huge difference though... you'd be better off spending the price difference elsewhere in terms of wattage. Buy a more expensive power saving cpu or display and you'll save way more than the 1-2 watt difference between a conventional hard drive and an SSD. Though I suppose if money is no object, you do both. But if money is no object, why not just buy a few more solar panels?
I don't know where you print your pages, but my school charged 9c per page, and it would not be uncommon to need to print out 50 page/day to do your work.
There is a reasonable goal, though, of offering up front pricing to your students. There are many students on tight budgets for whom an extra $100 in printing costs that come as a surprise may mean dropping the class.
Are you seriously claiming you can move your mouse hand from the mouse to the keyboard, type several characters, and move your hand back to the mouse, click on something, faster than you can do that one extra click and mouse motion?
I think you need a new mouse rather than vista. It seems to have something serious wrong with it.

They will outsell hard drives in 4 years. No one will be willing to put up with how slow a hard drive is in 4 years. In 3 years it will be a tough call. Hard drives rule for the next 2 years.
Seriously, in 4 years time you'll be debating between a 6 TB hard drive and a 1 TB SSD at the same price that will be better than 10x as fast at EVERYTHING. Which will you / basically everyone choose? There just aren't enough people who are storage constrained at 1TB to keep the conventional HDD as the preferred medium for that long.
Good odds of that happening in 2009 actually, 2010 at latest. 250G SSD's that are faster than 5400rpm laptop drives are available now at NZD1600, and prices are projected to fall at least 4x in 2009, which gets you within spitting distance of your NZD 150 price. 2010 is almost a certainty to reach that price.
He certainly did not agree to any such licensing (i've heard of no outlet that offers such a contract), and the UCC has pretty strict requirements around point of sale, so he owns that copy of the movie. He can do whatever he wants with it provided it doesn't violate something like the DMCA.
Because corporations aren't single entities. They are comprised of many people, and sometimes those people don't agree on the best path for the company. Also, some people are territorial, and may insist on maintaining their path even if it ISN'T in the corporate best interest. It is very hard for corporations to weed out that kind of behavior.

I think the whole point of this prosecution was to STOP people from thinking of the imaginary children.

I find I have to print like 500X over to make the ink raised enough for a braille reader. On the plus side, they don't know they have inky fingers.
I'm pretty sure most people would describe that color as green.

He did not buy any such license, he bought the physical copy. The distributors would like people to believe that, but it simple isn't true.
Please read the UCC.

But the supply for nuclear is so vast, it would cover significantly more years of civilization than there have been so far.
If we haven't gotten off the planet and eliminated our need for mined resources by then, we deserve what we get.
