In most cases I think the people who were able to succeed without secondary education did so by forging their own path. They went out, started their own business, and pursued a dream.
If your boys end up with the same desires and skills, they will likely go the same route and not need their secondary education. However, I think you are doing right in directing them to that education until the stroke of genius occurs.
Things like this are actually already commonplace in many internships, especially those in technology fields such as Engineering.
I know specifically, that many of my classmates in Engineering college worked for IBM on projects. It is actually beneficial to both sides in my opinion. IBM gets a task accomplished, and the individual learns and gets to pad their resume.
IBM is going with a trade-off in the internship case. They are getting relatively cheap labor, but at the potential cost of having the final product not be of the highest quality.
I agree the tinfoil hat crowd probably sees this as a problem though.
From what I understand though, it is only legal for you to use in the country with lax copyright laws. You cannot bring it into this country. Once you do, you are once again bound by our copyright laws.
Quit trying to rationalize unethical behavior. Either buy the CD or purchase the song online, or just go steal the damn thing like a good pirate.
"You'll never be able to yell to your 4-year old, "stop doing that!" two rooms away (because you heard silence, and silence=mischief) if you're used to direct feeds."
Especially with multiple kids, the only time they are completely quiet is when they are getting into something.
As stated by the parent and many of the others, I think using the high-tech tools would just be a crutch, working around the real responsibility of being a watchful parent.
Why do you think it is not the single most popular music site out there?
Why has there been no discussion of it in mainstream media?
Why do they need their magic "Russian Broadcast license" claim? If they were legit, why not simply be a US business and run ITMS out of business?
I agree with the parent, if you're going to be a pirate, at least own up to it. Don't go pissing away money soothing your moral sense without actually being moral.
I'm surprised as well, but for other reasons. Most of the low-end IDE RAID cards out there do not actually do any hardware RAID. They still use software RAID and are therefore essentially just IDE controller cards.
I didn't even realize this until I had already bought a Promise Highpoint card. It makes perfect sense though, considering you have to load drivers for your specific OS. If it was all happening in hardware, that wouldn't be the case.
So, you can guarantee from now on that because you heard about this accident and read that this man should be punished, that you will be less likely to have a traffic accident?
Have fun in your fantasy world where mistakes don't happen, and every "accident" should be punished. I'm sure you will be happy there.
Okay, first of all I am biased, because I work for Intermec (in wireless LANs, not RFID though).
Disclaimer aside, you're exactly right, this is not meant to be a submarine patent. We have put a lot of time and money into R&D and want to protect that investment. However, we did not wait until it was late and adopted, and then create some rediculous premise for suing the pants off everybody.
The strategy the company is trying to take is that of fair licensing to all who wish to use the technology.
I know the Slashdot crowd will likely rake me over the coals for stating all of this, saying we are just evil and greedy. However, we are a R&D-driven company, and it helps pay my paycheck.
Because you're not paying for the content, only the receiver. These signals are broadcast over the airwaves, unlike satellite where you need a subscription.
Later when all radios have HD included as a value-add, you essentially will once again be paying nothing to have digital radio.
iRiver is great about releasing new firmware though, and it is very easy to upgrade. They release 2 different firmware actually, one which requires Windows software to interact with, the other of which makes the device appears as a USB Mass Storage Device (UMS). If you use the UMS firmware it will work perfectly in Linux, Mac, etc.
(Note: This new firmware that supports ogg is only released in manager format, not UMS. The UMS version is coming soon according to the site. Also, with the new firmware you have to choose between having OGG/MP3 support and MP3/WMA/AAC support.

This option is available in my town now. In my case, the phone company is actually a co-op, rather than the Qwest monopoly in most surrounding towns.
This has led us to be able to have fast DSL, and now television at prices much lower than the Cable (Mediacomm) can provide.
If the service is anywhere near as reliable as my DSL, which has never had a problem, I will cancel my cable and switch over as soon as possible.
Fiber to the home is also becoming available, but I don't think they really have any services lined up yet to use it.
Wow, who cares?
See this post in this very article for a temporary solution. Works great.

Yep, just like the most important factor in choosing a Linux distro is finding the one that calls itself GNU/Linux.
Too damn funny, and so absolutely true.

IE can do this too, and has for a long time. Create a favorite and then type the name of it into the address bar. You'll go right there.
FUD, FUD, everywhere FUD...

Thank you. I didn't even have to post because you said exaxtly what I was thinking. Schools just don't seem to have a clue much of the time anymore.

Why not save one more character and just type "cd"?
Where do you live that volume increases counter-clockwise? Every device I own increases in a clockwise fashion.
Does this win for shortest Slashdot story ever?
Wow, come on out of your Apple world for a while. Nobody else commonly refers to 802.11 as AirPort.
Lame Ass.
I'll say what hopefully many others have said about this "news" item:
"Who fucking cares?"
Wow, what a difficult problem...
The solution, You don't have to buy every blooming movie that comes out!

Ummm, they have had AAC support for quite some time. Go check the site.
Correct, these are not expandable.
