You mean article 2 from the European Convention on Human Rights? Since you bright it up I pasted it below, since it has more to say on the matter than just that education is a right.
ARTICLE 2
No person shall be denied the right to education. In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religions and philosophical convictions.
Pretty much all the test cases from that video fail on MySQL if the sql-mode is set to traditional. MySQL will throw an error when data would be truncated, throws an error when you try to insert a NULL value in a NOT NULL column, refuses to alter a table if the existing data would be truncated, throws an error on an invalid date, on select only returns a warning for division by 0 but throws an error on an insert of division by 0, throws an error if you try to insert a string into a numeric column and so on.
I understand of course that the strict modes aren't enabled by default but they're easy enough to enable if you choose to. Via my.cnf, the command line when mysqld is started up or while connected to the mysql server itself (for just that session, or globally for all sessions).
I didn't run through all their examples, but mostly because I got bored and all their examples that I did try were throwing errors (except the select 1/0 one, which issued a warning) with the sql-mode set to traditional on MySQL (postgresql is also a sql-mode option but I didn't play with that one since I've never used it before).
7 lines with Verizon ($453.98, cousins iPhone 4S, brothers iPhone 4S, my iPhone 5, my Vaio Z, sons iPhone 4, sons netbook, daughters iPhone 4), 2 lines with AT&T ($135, mothers iPhone 4 and sisters iPhone 4). Cable is $367.75 (Comcast, all channels + sports package, 2 anyrooms, DVR, 105/20Mbs, home security and phone).
I can tell you why I don't replace my lighting. It'd cost me $2100 to replace every bulb in my home (not including the 8 flood lamps). I also rent, so naturally I'd like to take them with me when I move and there's that little catch where when I move out all bulbs in the home must be in working order (same as they were when I moved in) so that would (eventually) mean purchasing a whole mess of CFLs (or figuring out how to store 40+ incandescent bulbs safely until I move).
As an aside my home runs on gas so my winter time (when lighting would most factor in) electricity bill only runs about $40 a month. It will hit $90 a month during the summer but that's my A/C's fault. Therefore electricity bills aren't a huge concern of mine (especially if compared to my cable and cell phone bill which together hit over $800 a month).
Honestly, it looks more like a routing issue to me. Our production servers can't reach Godaddy's DNS servers at all, but other computers in the same NOC (different IP blocks) have no issue. Our in office server and desktops (as well as my home server and computers) also have no issue with contacting Godaddy's DNS servers.
I could be wrong of course. But I'm really only experiencing issues with contacting Godaddy's DNS servers from certain machines while others have no issue at all (can't get to their website from anywhere though).
I wish there was a moderator option of 'misinformed' but there's not, so I'm just going to reply.
You're not taxed twice (unless you started a corp for some reason). I've been a contractor for over a decade. My effective federal income tax rate was 15% and around 18% if you tossed in self employment tax (SS) and the like. (I'm not actually sure on the numbers, but know it was ~19% total). So hardly 30-40%.
I don't have a family, but my personal health insurance costs me $180 a month. That's a 10k deductible but I'm more than living with thinking that insurance is for unexpected things I can't afford and am happy to pay for the things I can out of pocket (besides, the insurance is a 100% write off and anything I spend cash for is a write off 7.5% of my AGI. Except I've never spent that much).
You also get those little benefits (if like me) you use your home to work, etc. Where you get to write off portions of your rent, utilities, phone bills, internet bills, etc.
And then there's section 179 where you can write off (most) recent tech purchases at 100%, or at whatever percent you use them. And yeah.
I work whenever I want, when I want and how I want.... I'll give you compilers, although I wrote my own x86 assembler in 1986...
Before there was degrees, there were those of us that just did it for fun.
Money came into it later. Phd's, never.
I don't want to argue about public school systems. I said I didn't get a diploma or a GED, and sure if I'd gotten either it wouldn't make me better at what I do now.
I don't know about Phd's, but I made $236k as a programmer last year, no high school diploma, no GED, no degree. So how impressive can a Phd be? That mean I beat out that 10%?
Actually, the cost burden ends up on the student but is already paid. Pretty sure with gov guaranteed loans the college gets the money up front. And when the student defaults it's on the student (although the college already got the money). I could be (and correct me if I am) wrong, but pretty sure that's how it works now.
I'm guessing for the same reason my bilateral hernia surgery was going to be 24k if I used insurance and only 7k if I used cash? (I had the surgery on May 58h by the way, so pretty recently).
Or why my parents old body shop could replace panels, cut out and replace parts with rust, and paint the whole car for $700 cash. But when a bumper had to be replaced on a car that was insured they'd charge $4,000?
And I'm not going to go into government guaranteed college loans (where if the student defaults and gets a lean against them it matters not to the college since they already got their money).
When money is guaranteed, there's no incentive at all to lower prices.
Same as the GP, I didn't finished highschool. Have no degree at all. Started small and now make a bundle (and hire CS degree holders to do the monkey work I don't want to do, 'cause honestly... they suck...).
My laptop (Sony Vaio Z) cold boots into Windows 7 in ~9 seconds (fresh install of Windows 7 minus crapware helps a lot). But to be honest I keep my laptop on 24/7 when it's on AC power and use sleep mode whenever I pack it up to bring it somewhere else. I seldom if ever turn it off.
When I was growing up we had (until I was 6 and the tube died) a combo TV with the radio, TV and turntable combined. And we had an actual "clicker". One button, when you pushed it it mechanically clicked, and the mechanical knob would move to the next channel.
And this is to much true. When'd you hear about fraking? 2 years ago? It's been going on since 1947.. Natural gas is now getting cheap and we now have an abundance of it. So the solar+wind+whatever crowd is now making a new item to bitch about (and they were all for natgas before). This is NOT new, we've been doing it for decades.
Shit, I should have written a longer response... You say chemicals although you eat that everyday. Fracking is mostly water, there's some stuff in there for lubricants but it's hardly cancer causing as you've been told Since you don't KNOW what those chemicals are, how do you even know they're cancer causing? Hell, the sun is cancer causing. You really think that companies (oil) are going to do anything to damage themselves?

So no, that number was about right.
Actually I was talking specifically about the Philips bulbs in the post I replied to (which are $49.95 a pop at the local home depot).

Busting in on someone playing in a chat room really has little chance of the guy having a rifle in his hand.

Was that your own nick for yourself? Because it sure sounds like it. Especially with your over the top reply to the previous fellow.
Since we built NY, I'm pretty sure we can also build a 1 foot tall sea wall.
I hate replying to myself, but I meant any medical spending that's over 7.5% of my AGI is a write off.
I wish there was a moderator option of 'misinformed' but there's not, so I'm just going to reply.

Funny enough most rootkits that replace ls, ps, etc also set those binaries immutable. Which is a pretty notable change.

Experience trumps paper.

There's an option in Windows to adjust the border width (it defaults to 4 but can be lowered all the way to 0).
Appearance -> Window Color -> Advanced appearance settings.. -> Border padding
And this is to much true. When'd you hear about fraking? 2 years ago? It's been going on since 1947.. Natural gas is now getting cheap and we now have an abundance of it. So the solar+wind+whatever crowd is now making a new item to bitch about (and they were all for natgas before). This is NOT new, we've been doing it for decades.

You're running on conspiracy theory stuff.
So I'm guessing you watched gasland, which has been dis credited so many times it's silly?
And we've been fracking since 1947... So 2009 (once it became a public icon) is some new thing?
You mean this scientific study that has no conclusions either way?
