"Carrying on families within a frame of legitimacy that bestows a family name, inheritance rights, etc." can be done within a homosexual marriage. And there is no shortage of children that are unwanted or unable to be cared for by their biological parents.
What if it isn't unusual spending patterns, though? Let's say my xbox redrings, so I sell it on ebay and buy another. Then the person I sold it to fixes it, grabs my credit card number and goes on a 360 game buying spree. It isn't rare for my family to go on 360 game buying sprees, across multiple accounts and even multiple IPs. So it wouldn't be noticed quickly.
"And even if it did have it, I think there's better ways for bad guys to get credit card numbers then buying an Xbox one at a time, using a modding tool, grepping the filesystem and pulling out numbers."
The thing is, there is already a fuckton of used xbox 360s floating around out there. Just do an ebay or craigslist search for "red ringed 360" and you will see people selling multiple and buying them (which probably means they have multiple). Heck, I have 2 used 360s in my house, and more have passed through. They are given away or sold very cheaply by people that don't know how to fix them to people that do, a simple fix is done on them and they are sold.
It's different because you would have to violate other laws to break into the intercom. And what if you're saying true things? What if you believe the things to be true but the other person does not?
Give it a try, it isn't as bad as one would imagine. You can increase the text size, and the fact that you have to "turn the page" more times becomes unnoticeable, especially to kids who have had less time using larger sized books.
Personally I think it would be more efficient to give each kid an $80 kindle or tablet, which can be used their whole school life, and use free textbooks. Then maybe have those families that can afford it pay back the cost (which would only need to be $7 per year). Apparently the current method isn't working since we are paying for prisons and welfare anyway.
I went to school in the United States and gave my books back at the end of the year, and yet I paid a textbook rental fee every year. Every kid was given a copy; those that "couldn't" afford it were on welfare, which paid the fee for them.
kids want to use them, and there are lots of games that make learning fun. Whenever a kid wants to do something and it is fun, they are a lot more likely to learn from it. It will only cause ADD in the sense that if a kid is sitting still using a tablet most of the day, they aren't going to want to sit still and listen to a teacher talk for the rest of the day; and maybe if they realize there are better ways to learn, they are going to see the absurdity of the way most schools do things.
There are free-from finger paint and coloring applications. In a world where many parents are too busy or too lazy to clean up the mess of real finger pants and such, it is a good thing.
Some kids (a lot, in fact) don't read books - is it wrong for schools to force them? The parents have the choice to send them to a different school that doesn't use technology, or to no school at all, if they don't like the methods.
Bullshit right back at you. Using computers saves me a lot of time, and my class size is very small - 4 - so I'm sure it would save teachers with 30 or 180 students a lot more time.
Well, they may be selling less shoes, but now in addition they sell things like hair accessories, fancy jackets and hats for horses, and expensive, supposedly pretty riding skirts for riders, etc. etc.
It wouldn't be any extra work to note those lesson plans in a virtual "book" instead of a physical one, or to enter the grades into a virtual "book" instead of a physical one. With the right setup, it could be less work. Then simply make those virtual "books" available to parents, and you're already way more connected than the current system.
1. Once people realize that textbooks, knowledge, connectivity with experts - including people trained to teach children - etc. is free legally on the internet, it will be a lot more difficult to get them to pay for it.
2. Textbook companies have a choke hold on schools, technology is a threat to them.
3. Schools are paid based on attendance. If it was as easy to remotely get an education, attendance may drop.
I only use youtube to "pirate" Japanese music videos, because I have no legal way to view them. Amazon has been getting more and more mp3s of stuff I want to listen to, and once that started I began buying them to support that. I'd love it if I could pay some subscription fee and get some kind of streaming Japanese MTV, or if Amazon started selling music videos in the same way they sell mp3s.
Horse shoe manufacturers are still pretty relevant. It's just that we now use horses more as pets and luxury items than as tools. Horse shoe manufacturers evolved to meet current customer desire. The recording industry did not, and that is their problem.
Notice where he said they called him first? If this happened while you were away from home, you could simply say "wait a week until I get back home" or "can you fedex the new card to [where ever you are]?"

That was the gas station being compromised, not Xboxes.

Oh please. Cameras and resizing software are so good nowadays that things are still discernible in a thumbnail.

$20 a month for access and then you could get the textbooks for free... or $200+ per book, per student, per class. Which is cheaper?

Kids are already using those sites anyway.

I'd be willing to bet they have a cellphone with internet access, or a computer they don't tell you about.

You must not have been around American "poor" in awhile. They have internet access.

But that isn't what he said. He said the crooks would have to pay his bill before they could use his card.
Hint: they're all true
