If a site posts articles yet has them excluded by robots.txt doesn't that defeat the purpose of posting the article where it can be indexed and found?
In other words if an article is posted, but robots.txt says to not index it, that article isn't going to show up in a search. Its a bit like rebroadcasting an NFL game in a movie theatre with no one in the theatre to watch it.
I don't dispute the common sense but your phrasing is an example of the point I'm trying to make.
In your example fact is the propensity to violence from being raised in a violent environment or poverty? Is the violence purely environmental or is there a genetic component? Is the root cause of that violence poverty?
Its common sense that it could be the other way around too, no one employs violent folk for very long. Hard to not be in poverty without a job.
Rent a nice regular apartment, have some cash left and go to Ikea, still have money left, go to dinner and the theatre, still have money left in the bank. Work to live life and see things and do things, don't work to acquire stuff, especially rented stuff.
Fair points. Thank you for following up before we got into a flame war.
Term limits actually take away power from the voter. Say there is a politician who is doing a good job, who is regularly re-elected, and the people in his district are happy. They WANT to reelect him for as many terms as possible because he's doing good for his district. Now you have term limits, despite the will of the people they cannot choose the representative they want. I will admit that is a rare situation, but it can happen.
Term limits can also be abused to escalate a politicians power. Rather than staying in a low level office, they get term limited out. Now they can either retire and go home (HA!) or run for a new office. Rather than term limits acting as a limit, they actually act as a promotion. Term limited out as mayor? State senate. Term limited out of state senate? Governor. Done being governor? National senate. And so on.
It doesn't prevent politicians from staying in office and gaining power, it prevents them from staying IN THE SAME OFFICE and gaining power.
Elections are flawed because the voters don't realize the power they have. Adding flawed term limit legislation on top of that won't help.
Excuse me? I spent a semester in an intensive political immersion program (in the state capitol 3 days a week for class) and ran for local office on a Libertarian ticket. By merely running I unseated a 36 year incumbent. What are your credentials?
Every election I've witnessed where there was a long serving politico, there was ALWAYS some yammering on about term limits.
If that many people really want term limits, then vote the incumbent out of office. Democracy is a system that is capable of giving the people what they want so long as the people realize they can actually choose.
Wouldn't that be like Al Capone being busted on tax evasion? Oh, better yet, OJ getting acquitted in criminal court to be successfully sued in civil court.
So Chuck sends his lawyers after the author. But only because lawyers are a "nice" first option, better than being roundhouse kicked off of the moon, through a plate glass window, and into the sun. Those lawyers track down and sue the bloke who wrote the botnet and win, but the FBI/CIA/Interpol/Vatican can't actually convict him of computer crimes.
Because their computers used a CDROM based on a Flahbersen 3401-B chipset and Linux only has drivers for the 3401-A chipset if you set the ARS_BOGGLE compile flag.
In all seriousness, its because there are 800 computers, unspecified if they're servers or desktops, and it takes a LOT of time to recover that many machines. Varying speed depending on if you just need to recover My Documents (which should have been on a network share anyway) or the whole disk or just files requested by users.
I think its significant because it might actually help consumers make a better choice. In this case if I'm looking at a Kingston SD card and a SanDisk and the Kingston is cheaper, I'll probably buy it knowing its got SanDisk guts in it. It could go the other way, knowing that SanDisk gets A+ parts while Kingston is A-. But knowing that difference is important before dropping coin on something expensive.
SD cards are a cheap commodity, but there are more expensive anecdotal examples like LCD panels. There are only a few fabs in the world, so anything from a Westinghouse store brand to a Bang and Oluffsen uber-TV will have very similar panels. The difference is largely in the controller software, the remotes, the casing, etc. That shifts the decision from the panel quality to the other extras that a more expensive brand may provide.

Except taxes simply make it harder for businesses to operate at all.
The ONLY effective "green initiatives" are the ones that directly benefit the bottom line or personal space WITHOUT incentives, credits, penalties, or tax fudging.
Examples:
- drive less, spend less on gas, maintenance, etc.
- turn the lights off when you leave a room, less on electricity
- use less water, less on the water bill
- better windows, less HVAC cost PLUS better comfort near that window
- better doors, same as windows
- not buying new things when old ones work just fine
The things that our parents yelled at us to do are both cost effective AND "green". They work. They're proven.
1. Find something that the target group is aware of that "threatens" them 2. Build up a cover that you are in a position to make that happen to them sooner 3. Claim you can make it go away for $$$. Enough so you make some money, but low enough that the target can scrounge it up. 3. ALTERNATE Pretend to be on the targets side. Say you can call a guy and do them a favor and be all sly and help a brother out for a few bucks compared to massive fines or legal action. 4. Cover your tracks and don't get too greedy and be ready to drop and run. This is where the guy in the article failed. 5. Profit
I'd like to applaud you for presenting a well written, middle-of-the-road argument in favor of homeschooling. It's one of those things where I fear what I hear, because the only people making noise are whack jobs.
How do you address the social aspects of school? A valuable part of being in school was learning how to interact with new people, larger groups, and authority respectfully and responsibly. Its unfortunate, but part of being a productive adult is working with difficult strangers or at least working around them.
Where was the line for you between, "I'll do this myself" and "Extend/correct/expound/refine what they learned at school"? Of the teachers I know, the best students weren't always the smartest but they were the ones whose parents took an active interest in what they were learning and who added on to that at home. Even the ultra-religious, "Harry Potter is a sin", parents got some respect for actually being aware of what their kids were being exposed to.
Your thoughts? I know you don't speak for the entire homeschool community, but might as well draw some of your good ideas off while we've got someone who's done it.

Because these things are usually designed to be punishment to the defendant rather than a refund for the plaintiffs.

How did they rule out the possibility that children who are prone to violence might also be prone to playing more violent video games?
More importantly, what sources does he cite to genetics and poverty being risk factors for violence?
The things that everyone "just knows" are the ones that often must be validated with facts and evidence rather than anecdotes.
