Lets see, if you're under 18 you face curfews (both late at night AND during the day when you "should be in school" even if you're home schooled). The drinking age has been raised to 21 almost everywhere,
Those are local or even state laws. You can change those by introducing new legislation and voting.
and the driving age
... is a privilege, not a right.
and voting age aren't too far off.
This is a Constitutional right. It would take an admendment to the US Constitution to change this. I doubt it will change any time soon.
You still have to register for the draft at 18
Ironically, this is also a "right". Actually, it is a "price" for your freedom. Don't knock its importance and certainly don't minimalize the fact that there is currently NO DRAFT. In fact, there hasn't been a draft since the end of the Vietnam War which means for those of us at about 40 and under are among the only Americans not to have had a draft over our heads. Also, we have a volunteer military which is a lot different than what other countries have.
Isn't it amazing that the generation that campaigned for youth rights in the 60's...
You should save your comment post and re-read when you turn 30. Read it again when you turn 50. Your life and the world changes as you get older. Believe me, you will have a completely different perspective on the world when you have kids and a family to support.
When did the phrase conservative replace the phrase "old fogey"?
Be careful. When you become an "old fogey" and someone your age then starts becoming critical of the world YOU created, what are you going to say to them? I know what you're going to say...
I did the best I could.
And they expect US to fund social security for them...
If you study sociology, you'll see that the child generation takes care of the parent generation the same way the parent generation takes care of the grandparent generation. It is one of those "example" things. If you don't take of your eldery parents when they need your help and your kids watch you not do it - chances are your kids (or worse yet, someone else's kid) are not going to take care of you.
Have you ever opened your case and saw the massive tangles of dust that line the nooks and crannies of your PCI cards, hard drives and mobos? Why would I want to see that stuff wipping around in the case all day? Ewwww...
Okay.. I checked my Red Carpet updater and bonobo 1.0 isn't there. You know what else still isn't there? Gnome 1.4 final that was announced last week. What is the point of Red Carpet again? I'm confused.:(
I'm sorry, but until someone kicks the palmvx's ass without me having to drop over $300 again and has USB hotsynch support for my favorite linux flavor, I see no reason to entertain Yet Another PDA.

Geekboy average Joe grocery-bagger astounds mathematician PhD's with a doodle from study hour.
Squeezed in the margin of his geography text book under a crude replica of a Limp Bizkit logo, a weird triangle with intersecting lines gives hope to millions of parents that their kid might actually do something meaningful.. even if the kid doesn't fully understand what they've done.
I hope some of you guys on the NEAR project are reading this.. I want to give you all a big *HUGGY* for your awesome work. Space travel has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. Reading news like this makes me feel young again and fills me with hope for the future.. not mine, but humanity. Cheers and rawk on!
A sound posting to be sure, but I have to take issue with the versions of Redhat you installed. 6.5 and 7.1? I thought they jumped from 6.2 to 7.0 and haven't release a 7.1 yet. Perhaps I missed a press release...
They (@stake, Microsoft, and others) don't make money off page views over at BUGTRAQ. They do, however, have the opportunity to make money off page views on their own websites.
I am not a user of this service but it looks very interesting to me. It falls into the category of fixed-location broadband wireless internet access. It might be worth a look if you are outside the range of DSL/cable providers in the US.
I had an old cell phone back in the day (1993) through a baby bell (Ameritech) and it sucked. After the contract expired I vowed not use a mobile until they were more in line with useful technology and had reasonable pricing schemes.
Just recently, I needed a mobile phone that would allow me to not get reemed on long distance/roaming charges in the Midwest. My mobile service is now through Verizon. Yes, I know verizon sucks but they had the best deal for my needs.:P
I used the website www.point.com to get educated on the current state of mobile phone technology and to price out plans/phones for North America. I recommend this website for getting an idea of what is out there.
Lets see... I want to work in City X because of a great job offer. But then again, City X doesn't have any kickass nightclubs like DNA. Oh well, I guess I'm going to have to settle for drinking my $6 watered-down drinks in some elitist-joiner-backass-backwater-wannabe-New-York- lameo-nightclub in some hick town in the midwest.
Poor jwz, besieged by his own fame. It is just a nightclub, people. It is just a person doing what they want to do. Why is this news for nerds?

If you could give giant ISPs more money NOT TO carry spammers than the spammer can give them TO carry them, then perhaps they might listen to your arguments. Until then, it is a simple function of money. Spammers pay to have their traffic carried, you all pay nothing and bitch. Gee, I wonder who the ISPs are going to listen to.
So what the people running West Point were finding was that the system that was in place was designed to basiaclly make their best leaders quit.
BZZZT! Wrong. The best leaders DO NOT quit. The "non-conformist" leader that can make it through the gauntlet of a place like West Point is the general you want. Not the ones that quit because they couldn't hack it. That is whole point of a place like West Point - (depending on your definition of "non-conformist") the best of the best rises to the top.
The president of the SADD chapter at my high school got drunk one weekend at a party her junior year back in 1993. She drove her parent's car (complete with a red ribbon tied to the antenna and a DARE bumper sticker) into a ditch. She totalled the car, injured herself, and injured two of her friends. Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt or killed. She remained president of SADD until her senior year.
