I used to drive a car, and I almost died in one when it crashed! Cars are horrible things - I'm glad we still have horses!
I offered a real world example, you offered a hypothetical. Responses like that make me sad for society. Is that 'Cognitive dissonance' of which you suffer? I am sure your single payer system covers that.....after many years and many ruined lives confirmed a need to declare it a 'real' problem.
As an American, I used to be part of a single payer system of the US Government; I almost died because of said system:( Luckily, a hospital (outside the approved, previously mentioned system) had been built closer to our apartment; my life was saved there.
Sounds like your 'Single Payer' is the new 'Stockholm Syndrome'.
Personally I had a vasectomy once I'd had two children - that's one each to replace me and my partner. Me fathering any more would be irresponsible.
Thank you for limiting other people's choices in life. Now I am forced to have a child just to replace myself. Why can't I choose not to have any kids and let some other couple who choose to love 3 kids take on that responsibility?

So are the peers physically down, or just not announcing any prefixes? If it is a matter of (un)announced prefixes, then couldn't the points to which the peering points connect (or major points on the net) just statically route the blocks that were available last week as seen in BGPlay? Just wondering:\
FTA: "And why stop there? Lenovo has also asked itself how often users press the F Function keys. On the new laptops, the F Function buttons are reduced to secondary controls"
Cool! I can't wait until they evaluate the usage on the rest of the keys in order to put the most used key combinations closer together;)
I totally agree (on the UCM and the satellites). My wife is the sole admin for her company's (a power utility) UCM; only a very small part of her responsibilities. My wife is a civil engineer not an EE or computer engineer and her department needed a document management solution years ago. Prior employees had evaluated and installed the system. The IS dept is only brought in when an upgrade is installed; the hardware is managed by IS after all. The system is so easy to use that additional departments keep putting in requests to have their documents added to the system due to word of mouth around the company. In addition to increased productivity, the company has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in paper/printing.
Why not just charge him $10 for the price of a movie ticket
+ $25 (for the hour of lawyer time it took to research and contact the manager [probably with sort of form letter at that])
+ $25 (for the hour of Media Sentry time for monitoring the p2p transaction.)
While $60 might be a slightly expensive "movie ticket", the studio gets their cost recovered plus it is a low enough incentive that there will always be repeat offenders from whom to recover the lost revenue until a way is worked out to distribute movies electronically and on the same day as the movie release.

With that argument, then each student should get cubicle (or a console) from which to work since that is what they will be using when they get into the 'real world'.
I disagree. By hiring that linux/unix admin you get an infrastructure that is deployed across the school district and will require little administration. One (or two) people can administer the whole affair (I am thinking primarily network booting with the standard education applications [see k12linux or edubuntu])). The Microsoft and Mac approaches appear to necessitate a local admin at all times.
While I don't have a problem with the local teacher administering the computers, those teachers that only care about computers as a tool, can use them as such. Program to accomplish task X is installed at the beginning of the setup and reviewed with the teacher yearly, bi-annually, etc.
Teaching has been around for a long time. There is a cirriculum that is fairly constant to be met. Just as periodic reviews allow for said cirriculum to be updated with newer methods of teaching, so to can periodic review of programs result in better programs to fulfill said teaching need.
The object is to teach kids, not just teach them computers.
IIRC, here is an article that discusses finding books for boys in an attempt to keep them interested in reading. [I presume that there is an analogous paper on girls.] It is based on matching the personality of the boy and the archetype of the protagonist in the book (Subscription or purchase required:( or try the library)
"The Reading Teacher : October 2007 : Using Picture Books to... Using Picture Books to Provide Archetypes to Young Boys: Extending the Ideas... help you identify and select additional titles that address each archetype...."
Finding the right archetype in sci-fi might take them further down the path you are wishing for them:)
Oh yeah.. and 1 more vote for the 3rd Tom Swift series that I read when I was 10 and 11 yrs old.

Just like in the book _Player Piano_ , most of us will be 'Reeks and Wrecks'.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
The less racist way would be to test children's IQ's and use the number to set a goal for achievement.
IIirc, Player Piano (Kurt Vonnegut ) uses the idea of testing/jobs based on IQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_Piano

Or is IRC not the protocol you are looking for?

Plus take into account that I posted using a Mac mini, Safari and consulted the Mac dictionary, and it makes it even funnier. :)
