If you do a GIS for "digital audio player", many of the products pictured would fit the analogy iPod:digital audio player::iPod Hi-Fi:ghetto blaster. Particularly the ones with more than eight buttons.
Evolution did a relatively poor job of protecting our species from disease for thousands of years. The little buggers just evolve faster than we do. The invention of antibiotics was the first time in history that any advanced animal species really had an upper hand.
No, idiot, nobody has a right to be present on any private property that isn't theirs. That's a privilege granted by the property owner which can be revoked. That's what "private" means.
Yes, when you are in a mall, you don't have a "right" to be there.
Of course, but you can't teach schoolchildren logic by handing them a textbook. That's why the class would have a structure to it, where for younger students the fallacies would be easier and they would gradually become more subtle. These aren't two wackos in the classroom, they are two teachers.
Current primary science education certainly does nothing to teach the rules of scientific logic. The current method of science teaching is based on a failure to distinguish between science as a practice and scientific knowledge. If your focus is scientific knowledge, what you will get is a bunch of people who think Intelligent Design sounds okay and who purchase shampoo with "vitamins".
There isn't a "right" side and a "wrong" side, there are good arguments and bad arguments. If a student could present to me a compelling argument backed with experimental evidence that showed phlogiston theory to be correct, I'd submit it to a Real Scientist.
The point is that you are trying to teach the principles of scientific thought and debate. It doesn't matter whether an auto mechanic "knows" that the Earth revolves around the Sun, but he's going to fall for a lot of bad advertising and propaganda if he can't recognize bad science.
That's why Timster's Official Science Teaching Method requires two teachers. Instead of teaching a fact (like how fire is a reaction with oxygen) the two teachers dress up in period costume and argue it out. The students don't know which is right, and are never told. The teachers could demonstrate experiments that supported their position, present video evidence, etc.
Thus the students learn more than an unimportant list of facts -- they learn how to determine truth in a scientific debate.
I don't generally see the point of books that abstract themselves away from the process so that you're looking at little more than sweeping concepts with a few cheap examples behind them.
And I don't generally see the point of graphics. The last video game I bought was a used copy of M.U.L.E. for the NES. Now THAT is a game. Quake was just a boring movie where you could move the camera around.
"You imbecile! You let that virus infect our systems!" "But I didn't open the file!"

He's talking about allofmp3, where you buy music from the Russian mafia for, well, Russian mafia prices. It's a heck of a lot cheaper to fund a crime syndicate than, say, a record label.
Silly FUD. The Edit menu is still available if you edit your gnome.prefs to include the line "UseMenuThatShallNotBeNamedBecauseItHasBeenDeclare dBad=1" in the "StupidAnachronisms" section.
The player is not emitting alpha radiation; alpha radiation is never called "alpha waves". This is in reference to the brain waves called "alpha waves". An MP3 player could not generate alpha radiation unless it incorporated some radioactive isotope (as smoke detectors do).
Merriam-Webster shows a better understanding of the fact that authority in linguistics is mythological. If you actually read the definition for "literally", it contains the following:
"usage Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary."
It would help if we could actually make a quantum computer (which we cannot, yet) and your post would be on-topic if the brain functioned at any level as a quantum computer (which it does not).
It's not clear to me what education has to do with learning. In my experience, many people with too much education use it as a substitute for thought. If brain exercise prevents Alzheimer's, the kind of education that teaches people how to NOT think could very well make it worse.
I'm sorry to say that your post is completely misguided, based on a misunderstanding of the terms involved.
For an object to move in an arc, there must be some force pushing or pulling the object toward the center of the arc. This force is known as the "centripetal force". When you turn the wheel of your car, you create a centripetal force. There is nothing special about a centripetal force.
When an object is moving in an arc, objects inside that object will notice that, relative to the enclosing object, they feel an inclination to move. This inclination is called a "centrifugal force". Clever people noticed long ago that this is not actually a force, but merely the natural inclination of an object to continue moving in a straight line; the reference frame of the internal observers is accelerating, and therefore not valid. However, it's often useful to speak as if an accelerated reference frame were valid, so we can invent a centrifugal force to cancel out the discrepancy. It is fictional, but a useful fiction, and in no way is it an invalid theory.
Of course, there is a reaction force to the centripetal force, as with all other (real) forces. This force is also called a centrifugal force, and is completely real.

The Constitution applies to all actions of the United States Government and its constituent states. It does not apply to any other entity.
Note that the 10th Amendment says "or to the people", not "or to the citizens".

I'm sorry, but saying that RMS is no longer connected with Open Source is like saying that Hillary Clinton is no longer a Republican.

And I don't generally see the point of graphics. The last video game I bought was a used copy of M.U.L.E. for the NES. Now THAT is a game. Quake was just a boring movie where you could move the camera around.
Yeah, I can see it now:
"You imbecile! You let that virus infect our systems!"
"But I didn't open the file!"
"Yes, but there was a 2 percent chance that you would have, so two percent of our data was affected... and included in that two percent was your entry in the payroll database. So I'm not firing you, but you won't be paid anymore."

Because alpha radiation and alpha waves are not similar in any way?

No, you're a troll because you suck at math. Stop hanging out in the hallways and go to class.
