    Neither Mac OS X nor FreeBSD maintain the microkernel structure pioneered in Mach, although Mac OS X continues to offer microkernel Inter-Process Communication and control primitives for use directly by applications.

    Probably not. c'est la vie.

    And whether or not I can afford $40/month on eHarmony is beyond the point. The question is, would I be willing to pay that much even if I could afford it. The answer, surprisingly, is NO. I would not pay $120+/year ($40/month is a low ball figure) for a dating service.

    Though I wonder how I'm off-topic, considering this is about a Linux vulnerability.

    Unfortunately they aren't accurate. When you have a known decay rate for three different materials, after you calibrate for those differences in decay rate you should get the same answer between all three. Instead what you get is three wildly different numbers. How can you call that accurate?

    I can understand your aversion to the term junk science, and you are right it is real. But, like meteorology, it's a statistics game. The difference between meteorology and psychology is that in meteorology, no one has any delusion that it's anything but a calculation of statistical probability.

    You do realize that Mac is built on a FreeBSD kernel?

    I was a kid and it wasn't told to me specifically (I also didn't have the knowledge then that I have now). Definitely something to keep in mind if I ever have kids (looking highly doubtful right now).

    I too went to Catholic school until around 2nd grade. They didn't want me back because I was too much for them to handle (I was hyper, but I doubt it as ADHD/ADD) or they just didn't want to. Unfortunately those years (K-2) were the best years of education I received. I didn't start to really perform well until college (I then failed to adapt at a curriculum where the theory and lab were supposed to be linked, but lab was 2 chapters ahead and the only solution was for students to read ahead on their own, even if they didn't understand).

    Totally agree, but I think the high school AP courses are meant to address that.

    Which is unfortunate. Schools with high graduation rates, or a lot of over-achievers should be rewarded.

    agreed. There used to be a taboo against diagnosing kids under the age of 18 because so much of being a kid could be attributed to any number of DSM-IV illnesses (such as ADHD/ADD and bi-polar disorder, to name a few).

    Psychiatry is mostly junk science. It's based on unprovable theories of how the brain works, half-known ideas of what chemicals the brain produces and how they make us feel, and generalizations made about groups that rarely hold true when applied to individuals.

    I had the same issue. Teachers wanted me on ADHD meds because I was bored in school and wasn't challenged enough. My parents refused, though.
