Some people want more means than is provided by a fryalator.
A major injustice today is the requirement for professional legal help, at great personal expense to the individual, for every-day legal interactions. This means that while the individual might have rights on paper if they don't have the money to enforce those rights through legal recourse then they don't have those rights in effect.
Well the problem is that such restrictions won't just be for children. It will be pushed to extend across the entire internet from restrictions to outright ban.
Of course this issue will have some heavy hitters behind it as the major media corps are going to be for it in order to put their own restriction schemes on the internet and turn a profit off of those schemes.
If only there was a way to have the computer record everything that a kid did or set things up so the kid was on a restricted space from home and that they couldn't get online w/o parental approval.
Well I suppose such things will never come to pass we should just hang all of the nasty pornographers, hate groups, satanists and atheists and anyone else who makes us feel icky!
Yeah, one teacher spread over a million students. Granted with TA's around who will be paid less than teachers are now.
The problem is that Math isn't entertainment. It requires hard thought. Which isn't really encouraged in today's schools. Spirit is what is taught to children.
The problem is that would almost certainly circumvent the purpose of privacy policies.
That purpose is to allow those companies do do what ever they want to the customer's privacy with few to no options for legal retaliation from the user.
Eh. While it isn't good, remember this is one of the cooler portions of Earth's history, and we are technically still in an iceage. So it can get quite a bit hotter and life will still be sound.
Sure our civilization might not like it but life will go on.
We've got a long way to go before the run-away venusian greenhouse effects are seen. Still that doesn't mean we should do nothing.
Yes. The "free market" does cut both ways; however, both sides are rarely equally sharp.
For instance for a worker to leave his or her job that worker would have to take a loss in income. With rising debt and unemployment currently seen in this nation it is unlikely that many could afford to leave their companies. Also such high barriers to entry still largely apply to employees leaving one company and moving to another. It will still take months to learn a new code base.
Companies don't have families, they don't need to eat, sleep or breath and they can't be sent to jail. Also they don't have balls.
The first qualification to run for President or any high US office--and I suspect this goes for any current republic/democracy--is that the applicant have no capability to feel guilt what-so-ever.
What does Obama's campaign or his supporters have to do with the trend of governments taking more power and privacy away from their citizens?
1. The current congress isn't heavilly Democratically controlled. They can't pass whatever law they please w/o some Rep support.
2. Bush and the congress he had in his earlier years were/are Republican, and that administration doesn't have exactly a sterling shining record. A lot of freedoms were happilly taken because they were dangerous in a "post 9/11 world."
It happens on both sides and should be fought on both sides.
Most people would laugh at a lot of things that when thought about are true. People laughing is not a good test for truth, veracity, or factuality in nearly all cases.
The term 'racist" carries with it strong connotations of ignorance and bigotry, and it is unfair to call someone who it honestly attempting to be fair and equal with all people regardless of race racist if they still possess some small racial bias outside a strictly academic field.
That order was from the US government and they were turning the screws, perhaps not that hard but they were turning.
Now I don't think google is the great force of good, but it so far is at least neutral which is more than can be said for most companies its size and scope.
When it comes right down to it, no we are not 100 percent sure, richer countries WILL try to get more water if it does work, mother nature is a non-existent entity, that's what expiriments are for and it probably will, probably but it probably won't do the job.
In the end having the data and knowing if/how we can alter the climate will be far more beneficial than not. We're changing the environment without thought, this is changing it with thought.

Erm there is a term for why this is bad. I bet the law students would know. Something about conflicts and interests...
Or the RIAA is realizing that they might get backlash for the extremely frivolous lawsuits and is further outsourcing its attacks.
Though this wouldn't be it as it is not under the R in RIAA.
It appears to be a software rather than a sound and/or music recording (RIAA), or movie and/or motion picture recording (MPAA) claim.
Still I am very interested in who the heck these people are and what records can be found about them. Hopefully some slashdotter will do some digging.

It is FOR THE CHILDREN!
Yeah but Linux users often have to work for that smuggness. True not as much work now-adays but it is still there.
Linux thing?
Leave us out of it meatbag! That's what distros are for!
No, but fear not, or fear more!
The US Gov or/and(if you are not in the US) your Gov is no doubt working hard on bringing you that very feature!
Internet non-necessary... When was the last time you were in college?

Don't hate the US people for Bush. Less than half of them voted for him.
Everyone knows Canada isn't big enough to be a state. It is just a large icecube.

Seems like cheating as he isn't actually launching from French soil. He's just flying over the English Channel. Eh.

Yeah the lesser evil is in the unelected part of the cloud.

Nature as a unified entity yes. The division of humanity, or anything being unnatural and the natural doesn't exist.
When it comes right down to it, no we are not 100 percent sure, richer countries WILL try to get more water if it does work, mother nature is a non-existent entity, that's what expiriments are for and it probably will, probably but it probably won't do the job.

Soon enough roof mounted license plates might be in order.
Remember, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
