As a culture we need to take a deep breath and figure out when our attempts to "protect" children are significantly more traumatic and damaging than simply leaving them to resolve their problems themselves.
And start by remembering that not so long ago, 14-year old kids would be expected by their elders and the community to have already started raising their own kids. Which takes a lot more than just looking at pictures.
Somehow we managed to survive that for many millennia.
Biased opinions like yours regarding millennials is what discourages younger generations from respecting those who are: already established, who didn't have to worry about a great recession caused by the previous generation that is constantly threatening the potential job and stock markets
Oh fuck off, 2008 wasn't the first, or worst recession during my lifetime. You get one about every ten to fifteen years, but if you're twenty you can't remember the last one and think you're uniquely cursed.
Absolutely. And the offshoring thing - which is relatively new - hits older workers just as hard as younger workers. The difference being that older workers get hit harder finding new work since then, but younger workers have the pleasure of seeing it hard to find work for their entire lives. Or at least until the Western countries sink down to Third-World levels.
I'd be more inclined to limit it to "all young people." The older they get, the more jobs they get fired from, the less likely they are to continue to same behavior (though some never learn).
And the less likely they are to say "If you don't like it you can just go get a job somewhere else".
Wikipedia was a better encyclopaedia than the best physical encyclopaedia. It's vast coverage and constant editing as new things come to light, outweighs it's flaws.

I cannot say what would happen if 4 different people were streaming videos at the same time, or even what 4K video would do. But Netflix runs very nicely over the Clearwire 4G wireless net for me and I pull a lot of ISOs and stuff without too much pain.
Forth was great for writing hardware control code on primitive micro-processors. I think a fairly powerful implementation could be done in about 600 bytes and then could provide a passably friendly "language" for things like telescope control.
No joke. The most visible parts of Windows 95 were - despite appearances - maintaining a lot of Windows 3.x compatibility underneath. The entire GUI app system was only capable of co-operative multi-tasking. It actually ran within a single virtual DOS box. The DOS boxes and virtual device drivers were pre-emptive multitasking between themselves, but not the GUI.
The Amiga, on the other hand, from Day 1 had full real-time capable pre-emptive multitasking. The Interrupt Services were themselves interruptible by higher-priority interrupts and the system timer did round-robin scheduling on the application tasks. Sadly, it was ahead of its time, so that while the lowest-common-denominator did include services like these, as well as hardware DMA, it didn't include hardware memory protection.
If he can't keep a woman around while being a billionaire I'd say that mental illness is called "ego".
I knew someone who was a "mere millionaire" who had the same problem.
It's not ego. Women don't come labeled with tags that say "sincere" and "gold digger" so you can tell who loves you because you're a wonderful person and who merely loves your wallet.
That's the real ego problem. Most of us would like not to have the "love" leave when the money does. Or, for that matter, when a higher "bidder" comes along.
Hmm...no, it's not. A Free Market just means that prices are determined by the forces of supply and demand. That's it, pretty simple.
Not according to what our local tax-is-theft basement dwellers say. They assert that any sort of restriction in trading is "interfering with the market." In other words, according to them, the Free Market includes interference with supply-and-demand by restricting the market. And that includes prohibiting a market althogether.
It's interesting that you think President Bill Clinton and Representative Barney Frank "got all Libertarian" when they did that.
So did a lot of Democrats. Of course back then, you were still allowed occasionally to cross ideological boundaries without being labelled a traitor to your party.
For the case where the entire OS becomes one big module.
"Modular" to the rest of us means that if we want binary logging, we install the binary logging package, if we want legacy logging, we install the legacy logging package, if we want some other custom logging, we can install that instead. There may be a default/preferred package, but distros can be built using alernative packages without tearing half the OS apart.
It doesn't mean we go the Windows route: 'Oh, you want to "uninstall IE"? Well, we'll let you turn it off --- IF you INSIST, but we'll keep a bunch of IE crap around littering up the system.'
I had trouble with init scripts. The systemd init subsystem was a better approach. The problem was, systemd also brought in a lot of stuff that wasn't directly part of the init subsystem that I didn't want, don't want, and don't see any probability of ever wanting.
Because Poettering doesn't understand "modular", I don't get just the good stuff - it's all or nothing. And because systemd isn't even modular as an overgrown bloated monstrosity, the only way to avoid it is to either run old distros or some other OS entirely.
You could also turn selected Cadillac models into decent automobiles by tossing the factory-installed diesel engine and replacing it with a gas-powered Chevy engine. There was quite a prosperous industry in doing just that.
Did that justify using crappy diesel engines in the first place?

I'm not leading an idyllic life. Are you?
It's not about "idyllic", it's about relative levels of psychological damage.
And you can "like to see" sex delayed until 40, for all most teens care. They may not be making mature decisions, but they're still making them.

You sell it to McDonalds for French Fry grease.
Seeing would be great. Smelling, on the other hand... I'm imagining elephant smell mixed with very large wet dog.

In real life, what's going to happen is the Chinese and the Russians will be the only ones strong in space exploration

Unfortunately, it's going away in about 2 months.

does it matter? get a vasectomy and have some fun.
Oh really now. I don't want to spend my time alone the other 3 hours of the day.
Don't be pediatric. Sloppy spelling by people who won't tow the line gives free reign to sloppy thinking.
When you garble the sense of the discussion, you loose it's point.
It's like putting a speed bump in the thought process. A distraction from the actual topic.

In the US, banks had been prohibited from selling securities ever since the Great Depression.
But that was against the principles of the Free Market. So Congress got all Libertarian and repealed that prohibition.
Banks started selling securities again and we ended up with the Great Recession.
We obviously didn't return to unrestricted Free Market principles fast enough, if it was only a recession.
