You're saying that vandalism is acceptable and doesn't warrant arrest? That's the problem with the world today, kids misbehave and you're not allowed to punish them.
Wtf has the opinion of the paper 70 years ago go to do with it now when most if not all of the people who worked on it then are probably dead?
Reading the paper today, it seems like both the writers and readers from the 30s are still alive. In fact most of them probably fought in the war. For the Nazis.
Banking is important. Imagine they're trying to send you an important message but your computer is broken or you've reached your ISP's monthly quota. This is why snail mail is important.
So because Cedega allowed you to use Windows games, you will no longer buy Windows games? Yeah I'm sure the game industry is going to change their business model to suit one weirdo.
That CIA fact book's a sack of shit. How do you test the literacy of a population where most people don't go to school and live in areas where even the police are scared to go?
Perhaps they walk into a favella in Rio and ask the local crack dealer if he wants to do a literacy test.
I have been to Brazil and Argentina and it is the same as it is here in America, several cities bursting with industrial, urban life
So which American cities in particular have half the population living in favelas that make trailer parks look like Beverly Hills in comparison? Many Brazilians don't have electricity at all, they live in houses that are literally six foot across and made out of cardboard.
And considering the endemic corruption in Brazil, this scheme is likely to do no more than line the pockets of the local politicans as they sell the laptops on to the wealthy half of the country.
It doesn't matter if you're a Linux user if you're buying Windows games. All the develop sees is people buying Windows games. I don't know why you're having so much trouble understand this, it's an incredibly simple concept. I'll spell it out for you:
THEY DON'T NEED TO MAKE LINUX GAMES IF LINUX USERS CAN RUN WINDOWS GAMES.

Cedega and Linux Games
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
In my case, thanks to Cedega, there's now one more almost-purely-linux gamer and one less Windows gamer. Now that I game under linux instead of in Windows, companies do have more incentive to make linux ports of their games.
Incorrect. If Linux users can now run games written for Windows, then there is ZERO incentive to make Linux ports at all. Why make a Linux port when the Linux users can use the Windows version?
If you mistrust your children to these kinds of extents, then you have failed as a parent and nothing can fix this.
Parents who don't control what their kids eat have failed as parents. Teaching kids to eat properly is one of the most important things a parent can do, letting them eat crap is one of the worst forms of neglect.
Kids who have their driver's licenses and are nearly the age of majority, yet they can't pick their own lunches?
I agree, schoolkids shouldn't be allowed driving licences. Not until they're around 20/21.
Schools feed kids crap because they contract out the catering to companies who realise that it's cheaper to throw a frozen cheeseburger in the microwave than it is to cook a healthy meal.
How does a child end up stunted by having to eat vegetables rather than cheeseburgers for lunch? Seems like the opposite would be more true, that allowing them to eat crap every day is more likely to stunt their growth.
All this 'let children make mistakes' is crap. Let them grow up on junk food and they'll end up eating junk food into adulthood, and they'll feed their own children on junk food. Let them grow up on healthy food and they'll eat healthy food into their adulthood, and feed their own kids healthy food.
It's a US cultural thing, look how geeks are reviled & marginalized.
Geeks are reviled and marginalised because they're arrogant, unsociable and boring.
People expect technology to just work, with no effort on their part
Yeah, it's as if the point of technology was to make things easier for everyone. Don't they realise technology is supposed to be awkward and complex, and the whole point of it is to give geeks employment?
Actually Lebanon has no control over Hezbollah, it is an independent rogue organisation. Bombing Lebanese citizens because of the actions of Hezbollah is like bombing American citizens because of the actions of the NRA.
You don't know how lucky you were to miss The Godfather Part II, that really sucked.
The fact that you can call a film magnificent, great and absorbing, and still say you wouldn't mind if you missed it, suggests the problem isn't with sequels, it's your own hangups.
So how exactly are people less ethical and rational than a hundred years ago? Go on, explain how there's more 'misery' today than in the age of slavery, imperialism, workhouses, consumption, 80 hour weeks, racial segregation, no women's suffrage and ethnic cleansing.
Slashdot Mirror
Where is the science in this? They're just using existing science and technology.
This is Britain, if you do that you get stoned or knifed, and then sued by the kids parents for infringing their rights.

HD's a lot more important in sport because the camera's very far out.
Dunno, perhaps they'll use them for the million things that were done before the internet was widespread?

On the other hand, being part of a film with a poor script, atrocious sound and poor acting could actually damage an actor's career.
Parents who don't control what their kids eat have failed as parents. Teaching kids to eat properly is one of the most important things a parent can do, letting them eat crap is one of the worst forms of neglect.
I agree, schoolkids shouldn't be allowed driving licences. Not until they're around 20/21.
So you're saying that parents shouldn't ever monitor the diet or behaviour of their children, because then they won't need self-discipline?
Schools feed kids crap because they contract out the catering to companies who realise that it's cheaper to throw a frozen cheeseburger in the microwave than it is to cook a healthy meal.

To be fair the Israelis started it.
Actually Lebanon has no control over Hezbollah, it is an independent rogue organisation. Bombing Lebanese citizens because of the actions of Hezbollah is like bombing American citizens because of the actions of the NRA.
On the other hand, a $600 PC laptop would be $10 a month.
Then you'd need the graphics card in the computer to create the data that goes through the ethernet, so you've solved nothing.
You don't know how lucky you were to miss The Godfather Part II, that really sucked.

I can assure that that a third world place with a call centre with no labour rights is much better off than if there was no work there at all.
