Treating employment as a business transaction carries the risk of allowing market forces to transform the working population into a horde of soulless, placid automatons.
Why's that scary? The HFEA is a british goverment agency that issues licences to carry out research in this area, to prevent rogue scientists carrying out experiments that might harm any babies born as a result. It's pretty liberal as well, at least far more liberal than its US equivalent without being reckless.
This is how it works in the army (the British one at least). I'm not sure about infantry, but in the 'support' trades the instructors are the top few % of soldiers who spend a 2 year posting as an instructor. It works well because as well as their professional knowledge they also teach from a broad base of experience, and always have plenty of anecdotes to back up what they're teaching. They also command much more respect from the recruits because they have real-world experience and they are the end product that the recruits are aspiring to become.
There's nothing wrong with this class, so long as they subject ID and all other religious philosophies to the same critical dissection as scientific theory.
It also goes without saying that bias on the part of the teacher should be carefully regulated.
Pleo, from California start-up Ugobe, is a baby dinosaur robot that acts and learns like a real animal, remembering traumatic experiences and friendly owners. We peeled off its skin Gee, I wonder which category it uses to remember the PopSci editors?
My wife went and bought an EeePC while I was out of town. I was mad at first because she didn't consult me Let her make her own mistakes! She'll grow up a better geek for it!
Granted, 17" isn't as portable as 14", but you can still carry it around much more easily than a desktop PC so it still deserves the name.
I'm a soldier who travels around the country regularly, and I use my 17" laptop for watching movies and working (word processing and image manipulation), both of which benefit from a bigger screen. It has nothing to do with me being a 'n00b', it's simply a hardware feature that I profit from. The full size keyboard is also nice.
It doesn't matter how easy it is, that's not the point. In pretty much every western country, except for the US, this would be totally illegal. It amazes me how Americans seem (on the whole) totally content with not having any data protection laws.
Here's a good tip if you get pissed off by Chinese players in WoW/UO or any other mmorpg:
Set up a macro that spams: "Release Feng Yang! Freedom for Falun Gong! Democracy for Tibet!" and whatever else you think would set off the great firewall.
Why does the US, or any other country for that matter, still keep on talking about right, justice, democracy, or any such thing in their rethoric is beyond my understanding.
This rhetoric is directed towards their own population. As you point out, populations of other countries will not believe it at all, and the better educated of their own population will not believe it either, but it is useful to gain the support of the less educated majority.

I think you're over-engineering the problem, all you need is a spycam.

Can we sue your country for imitating our law?

More fool them. They don't seem to realise they're undermining their future vote.

When it's someone's political advantage to.

And oddly enough they missed a real Geek - Vin Diesel - who's into AD&D.

The UK stopped using "milliard" (and billion for 10^12 etc) decades ago. We now use the same denominations as the US.

No, the american way is put a carrot in front of the horse, then shoot him if he doesn't eat it.

No, she gets GHB.
Get rid of all the mexicans?
That's nothing to do with security, the CIA have a bunch of black hawk helicopters flying in formation at 10,000 feet.
They should wait until Google Maps is updated, and then move all the buildings around.
Shame there isn't a 'dickhead' moderation
