I believe you're referring to the Edutainment movement, where we were supposed to think that solving math problems to shoot down little alien ships with numbers on them was going to make a generation of geniuses.
If you're too young to remember "Schoolhouse Rock", then kindly get off my lawn.
She'll get a probation plea of about five to ten years, which will include never stepping into a Regal Theatre again, no contact with the little brother, no ownership of any recording devices, and, for good measure, standing in public with a placard saying what a hobble person she is.

Back in the 80s, when mice were being used in the mainstream, I saw people instinctively picking them up and placing them on the screen to make the computer work.
Flashforward about 20 years, and the local Borders kiosk needed a sign to remind people to use the trackball/clicker, and that the screen wasn't a touchscreen.
Hmmmm.... so, can we see, in the near future, a ragtag group of Russian college students upsetting a group of American professionals in a sports event?
It looks like the RIAA is really pushing the defining line between collecting a civil debt (no contract with the accused) and threatening to bring a civil suit. If you do settle, you get to sign away your right of freedom of the press and freedom of speach in the same settlement.

It includes a gag order agreeing against your will that you will only have nice things to say about the RIAA.
All in all, I'd rather a toaster point a gun at my head and sign a death warrant for 200 people.
I mean, I haven't ever had sex, but since age 14 I'm sure I've had THOUSANDS of orgasms. (Okay you didn't need to know that - would it help if I mentioned that I'm a girl?)
Yeahm but Carl Sagan had BILLYUNS and BILLYUNS.....
His employer, being that it works in the "politics industry", had a policy forbidding employees from political activity to avoid any impropriaties. He violated the policy and was fired.
It was interesting to see Hillary and Obama doing a verbal paso doble on how to react before he was 'outed'.
They both let out a sigh of relief and went with the standard "my opponent was behind thisCHUFFCHUFFCHUFF!"/"I never authorized thisRUNAWAY!!!!!!" responses.

We're a planet of immigrants.
Next time someone tells you to 'go back to where you come from', tell them to write Congress to increase the space budget.
Have it go through a drug test and then we'll see how valid its 'streak' holds up.

Any violation means a trip to jail for a year.

Perhaps they can share stories as members of the "Veterans of Format Wars".
They're known to teenagers as 'helicopter parents'.

Who needs censorship when you have economics?
I was glad when Voldermont's head was crushed under the weight of the Weasley's Ford Anglia.
But Ginny took forever to land her broomstick outside the diner.
So you're the frakker that fathered the Cylons!

This says to me that the reason women don't go into IT fields is partially cyclical.
They don't want to deal with the monthly Microsoft Patch Cycle? Smart.
Hammers don't kill people; Carpenters do.
Don't be so dismissive.
One time, they used a hammer against a Carpenter and He came back.
I'd rather have people talking on phones than screaming kids, and they never seem to do anything about that.
Unless it's screaming kids talking on phones.
Does this make the people who pushed this patch out the door.... ANI-Maniacs?
