Dumbing down the units results in missing information. If I say micrometers, then the unit of what I'm measuring is obvious. If I say 'the size of a human hair', then it's not.
Apache 1.2 or above supports CGI per user with SUexec. It's quite simple, just before calling the CGI program, the process calls a program to set the uid to the user who owns the CGI.
The problem described above is for non-CGI dynamic content. The whole point of mod_php and mod_perl and other similar technologies is to tightly integrate the webserver with the program. This means that the SUexec approach can't work - a process can't change it's uid to a user and change it back again in a secure fashion. What is possible is to isolate each virtual host from each other.
Before deciding to start over, you should decide if it's worth doing at all. Do we really need a manned space program? There is nothing that we can do which is worthwhile doing, which can't be done with an unmanned program.
Printing is a problem with any OS. Handling paper & ink/toner is a mechanincal process, and as such means that there is lots which can go wrong. Unfortunatly the majority of users won't think what to do when the printer displays 'paper jam' and just call the help desk.
The next biggest problem is probably spooling, sending their printouts to the wrong print queue, or a disabled or just slow queue.
Unix definatly has some challenges, for example the lack of a universal driver standard, but these are configuration issues, not user issues.
But I'll tell you right now that there is nothing better than this, that I can think of, that has come along in terms of blocking people from looking over the shoulder of bank employees.
Sure there is. You put the computer & the employee on the other side of the desk from the customer. This brings into play the non-x-ray effect, in that with the exception of Clark Kent, people can't see through the back of the monitor.
The UK plug design is plastic along the length of the blade, and only the end is metal. By the time you see the metal tip of the blades, the circuit is already broken.
This is actually a relativily recent innovation, first seen in the 80's, and not really common until the 90's. This was seen as a secondary safety feature, with the primary one being that the socket is switched, so that the user can turn off the power before removing the plug. Another safety feature is that all plugs have an earth pin, even for non-earthed devices (Sometimes the pin is plastic for these devices), and the earth pin is longer than the live & netural pins. This allows a shutter built into the socket to be moved out of place by the earth pin, so without the earth pin, no-one can stick something into the socket and get a shock. The same connector is used in Ireland, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other countries.
When you entered the music business, radio stations were diverse. In the last few years, this diversity has disappeared. Do you have any comments on this?
There are two reasons that insulin can't be taken as a pill. The primary reason that insulin can't be taken as a pill is that insulin is an enzyme, that is made from protein, and our digestive system breaks down all proteins to their consitutant amino acids. If the protein isn't broken down to amino acids, then it can't pass through the intestines into the body, the molecules are too big. You have to bypass the digestive system, meaning injections. The second reason is that insulin has to be very carefully regulated, either too much or too little causes problems. Pills can't be adjusted to that level, because the digestive system causes a delay between taking the drug and it entering the system. So, it's basically impossible for insulin pills to be manufactured.
You're talking about the collision between KLM Flight 4805 and PanAm Flight 1736 at Tenerife on 27 MAR 1977. This is the worst aircraft accident of all time, involving two 747's, all 248 people on board the KLM, and 335 out of 396 on board the PanAm died. The cause of that accident was KLM starting it's take off without clearance. KLM did hear the tower send "Papa Alpha 1736 report runway clear.", and the PanAm cockpit return "OK, will report when we're clear". These two singals were enough to give the KLM flight engineer enough concern to ask the captain "Is he not clear then?", but the KLM captain overruled him. The radio collision was between the tower & the PanAm cockpit, not the KLM's cockpit, and therefore has little in common with walkie-talkies. The offical probable cause was therefore:
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The KLM aircraft had taken off without take-off clearance, in the absolute conviction that this clearance had been obtained, which was the result of a misunderstanding between the tower and the KLM aircraft. This misunderstanding had arisen from the mutual use of usual terminology which, however, gave rise to misinterpretation. In combination with a number of other coinciding circumstances, the premature take-off of the KLM aircraft resulted in a collision with the Pan Am aircraft, because the latter was still on the runway since it had missed the correct intersection."

That works for the occasional traveller, but there are lots of people who spent a significant fraction of their time travelling. If you're travelling twice a week, then 12 hours of imperfect productivity is better than 0 productivity.
But it isn't illegal for Microsoft to have a clause in their contract saying they can view systems, it may be illegal for the hospital to use the Microsoft software with that clause. That's very different to the contract violating law.
The problem is that you can equally say that there are people who claimed to be other religions, who don't adhere to it other or affect their lives in a significant way. Even those who do adhere, may not do so to the level of others. Is a jewish person who doesn't go to synagoge, keep the sabath or keep kosher a jew? Some would say not.
Teaching is a set of skills and there should be no assumption that just because you've got a good knowledge of the technology you'll be good at teaching too. On the other hand, if you have got the skills required for teaching, then the better knowledge you have for the subject, the better you will be.

Perl handles inheritance. It's not ideal, because subclasses have to know about their parent classes to avoid stomping on the parent's private data.
There is very little incentive for a record store to keep a stock of non-pop/non-hip titles. They sell for less money, and far fewer people buy them. The problem is that this is a vicious cycle. The fans of a particular type of music are going to migrate to a store which best serves that type of music. That means that the other stores see less sales, and have less incentive to keep as much in stock.

You're assuming that it's got a function. It hasn't, because the possible serious uses got cut out of the budget as non-essential.

Which doesn't negate it's value. If you are legally blind, then any improvement in your vision is valuable, even if it still leaves you legally blind.
