Our short life adds spice to life: you only have a few years. I hate to think of the prospect of 900 years here, I'd _have_ to go catatonic in front of the TV. No children, no older people, just a bunch of beautiful young people. Where's life? Sometimes the folks who run things need to die off and let younger folk with fresh ideas take over.
Sounds like the final nail in the coffin for the independant (non-corporate) American Farmer.
Monsanto is the true farmer's Sauron. Monsanto is about chemical factory farming (in other words, anti-Farming). My best friend is a small farmer. He has some livestock, he leases out his tobacco allotment (this is Virginia), and he raises some small "cash crops" which are all legal and vary from year to year. Unless he's not telling me everything. He steadfastly refuses to use chemicals and accept subsidies (except for that tobacco allotment thing).
Unrelated to this incident, Peter Rabbit was charged with Intellectual Property theft, after taking a bio-engineered cabbage from Farmer McGregor's garden. "It sure looked good, all big and green, but it tasted like wood pulp", stated the incarcerated rabbit.
Ha ha, I was watching the Peter Rabbit cartoons just last night. With my two youngest children, of course, but it's got that dry British humor and I like it. (The cartoons are funnier than the books.)
As a student, I'm the consumer. I'm paying the professor to teach me what he/she knows and then to rate how well I've absorbed that information at the end of the class. Assignments such as this one or classes which are set up as "cut down classes" just aren't consistant with that.
There's enough truth in your statement to ruin all of higher education (too late, it's been done already). Because it's not the whole truth.
Not having worked in the gaming industry, I know nothing about it, except that it exists. Which is truer: working as a developer at a gaming company means you play games all day long; or you work and develop code like the rest of the developer world?
Not knowing anything, I'd _guess_ the latter, while I'd _guess_ fresh graduates hope for the former. I remember studying engineering, and thinking we'd all go out and do super-cool design work. It's not quite like that.
If they can't handle the repsonsibility, they don't get the privilege. There are easy ways to see if they can handle the responsibility. Computer in a public place (family room); timers limiting time; chores and homework done first; Etc.

So if OpenBSD is a firewall box, you control the incoming packets on the internal NIC--redirect all incoming port 80 to 3128: squid as transparent proxy.

He means the book was dark and gloomy, not the flick.
As in, "look at how these awful parents have produced such self-destructive children!" As a parent who read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to my daughter, this is what I found: don't let your children grow up to be like these self-centred gluttons and spoiled brats, but like Charlie. The whole visit was about who could get through without wrecking themselves--they'd completely wreck the business if they ever got hold of it. And Charlie just barely made it.
Hard to imaging Burton/Depp getting that into a movie without being hectored for "letting Bush write the script."
The government school system does not exist to make intelligent, articulate, well-read (breadth and depth) people who have coherent thought processes and write well. If you want your children to be that way, hop to it--that's your responsibility.
I realize that a lot of people these days have real trouble understanding the difference between news and commentary, but there is a fairly significant divide between the two.
And it's hard when our Paper of Record, the New York Times, mixes the two promiscuously.
They are the future of unaccountable editorializing.
The bloggers don't have that Authority that comes from being a Mainstream Media Source to make people shut off their minds and just believe. It's the mainstream media that uses Appeal to Authority ("That would be us!").

Hit yourself in the head with a hammer. Notice how itt feels good when you stop!
Maybe they'll go into the online pr0n business. Microsoft Boob.
Just another try at a godless heaven-on-earth.

Almost makes me feel sorry for their lawyer. Almost.

A noble cause. But, as they say, no good deed goes unpunished!

It was so cold today I saw a lawyer with his hands in his _own_ pockets.
Not in the presence of a bricklayer. Or hens, I suppose, the PETArds will get you.
(I'm responding to this comment _before_ reading any other replies.) Don't worry, the failed car analogies will come out the woodwork. See my sig.
They need to read the papers more. About Iraq.

It's fair. I would go into more detail with lots of evidence and case studies, but it's not my job.

or really cheap. Then they own you.
The act of looking at the link then not reading the article was left as a mental exercise this time. This is /.

You mean like all the unsigned editorials in all the papers in the USA?
