If England is ever going to be accepted as a state they'll have to learn to respect the first amendment rights of citizens. Oh, and while we're at it, they should be citizens not subjects. Drop the monarch.
If the problem was not being able to disable "tap-to-click", I had a similar problem. Eventually I stumbled onto a solution. I stopped messing with the synaptics driver and added 'moused_flags="-m 11=4"' to my rc.conf and let the touchpad be recognized as a PS/2. Voila, no more "tap-to-click".
"Really? They think people will be too interested playing Fruit Loop, or whatever it's called, to bother attempting to escape from an flaming aircraft?" Yes really. In 1980 in Las Vegas, Nevada, people were to interested in playing the slot machine in front of them to bother escaping from the MGM fire. Quite a few of them died.
I like to think it's more "tongue-in-cheek sarcasm" than a troll. The google charts you point to indicate that Chinese workers income is rising. But it's still a fraction of what workers in the U.S. make at current exchange rates. Sarcasm-off, I'd actually like to see both democracy in China AND living standards for working people everywhere rising. My post was to poke fun at those who see the rising call for democracy as a threat to capitalism-as we-know-it.
My portfolio started taking a beating when these democracy agitators started causing trouble in Hong Kong. If Beijing doesn't do something to stamp this out, it could eventually lead to democratic rule in China. Labor activist will start demanding western style salaries and living standards and voting and such. Something really needs to be done about this so as to avoid labor costs getting out of control.
Any one that the students care to discuss. If one of them were to assert that the FSM created the universe, and that the moon being made of parmesan cheese is evidence of it. I could at least give him credit him for putting forth a falsifiable proposition arising from his hypothesis.
That's exactly why I suggest that teaching about creationism IS appropriate for a science class. If I were a biology teacher (and my approach were permissible), when the subject of creationism inevitably came up in the class, rather than dismiss it with the arrogant assertion that "this is a science class, we'll not discuss your religion here", I would, instead, follow up with a discussion of Popper's criteria. Then I might request a short essay discussing how well evolutionary theory or creationism met the criteria for a scientific hypothesis. That, in my opinion, is part of teaching science.
I'm not a programmer. Lately I started reading through http://learnyouahaskell.com/. I haven't gotten very far yet. My only purpose was to get a handle on the syntax in my xmonad configuration file. I had no idea it could be used to make money.
Mostly the propaganda comes from the private sector rather than our government. For example, health insurance companies have Americans (or at least the stupid ones) convinced that a national health care system, or single-payer will result in substandard care and long waiting lines. My friends in Canada think we're chumps.
The FreeBSD Handbook and forums are awesome. I use FreeBSD on my laptop, but also have Arch Linux running in a VM. Arch Linux is also incredibly well documented. On the Linux side of things, the fragmentation means that what you learn for one distro may not apply well to another. To the OP I'd advise, just focus on the documentation that applies to the distro that you're running. If it's not good or it's out of date, then choose a different distro.
I notice the patent application is with US authorities instead of the Europe. Perhaps EU patent authorities saw right through the argument for originality like... well like they were looking through a transparent cockpit window.
"The shortcomings of US public education is a joint effort of teachers, unions, government administrators, and politicians." So what about the parents? Teachers aren't being given much to work with since people with 3 digit IQ's decided they don't want to reproduce anymore. They're getting blamed for failing to teach chimpanzees to do trigonometry.
I learned to weld, do electrical work, air conditioning and refrigeration repair, boiler operations, etc. through an apprenticeship. It's a good deal. You get paid to learn. There's a catch though. You've got to join a union. No knowledgeable journeyman is going to train you if you're someplace where seniority doesn't count. These days I've moved on to being a licensed professional engineer. Working my way through college on union wages, I graduated without owing any student loans.
Imagine that your a high school or junior high school biology teacher. Several times a day you are in a classroom in a rural southern state with an audience of 20 to 30 students. You know that more than half of the students in your class have been told by their parents and their pastors, that when the subject of evolution comes up, they should just tune out. Many of you keep saying that there's no controversy and nothing to gain by teaching the controversy. Well, for this class room full of skeptical students there's a lot of controversy. I guarantee you won't break through to them by ignoring it.

More likely wrecked by a typhoon, at which time, I'm sure all these Randian Galt Atlases will cry for public assistance to save their sorry asses.
It will empower us. And by "us" we mean we in the 1% who will use it to further entrench our power over you, the little people.

Check out the influence Sagan had on Neil DeGrasse Tyson:

Being cognizant of the consequences of his recklessness and having sympathy for him aren't mutually exclusive. We can do both.
There's nothing wrong with Mars the way it is now. We should leave it alone.
Let's put this on private aircraft too. What could possibly go wrong?

That's exactly why we must destroy what's left of the unions. As usual they're the last thing standing in the way of a fascist state.
Hey didja ever think what if we were actually living in a holodeck and didn't know it?
Woww! You're totally blowin' my mind, man.
