I guess the solution is having a 1930's vehicle to start. No two year old is going to know how to adjust the spark advance, pull out the choke, depress the clutch, engage the ignition, readjust the spark, shift into gear, ease out the clutch, and push in the choke once underway. Bonus for a hand-cranked model. Of course, I kinda think that the fact that all modern vehicles require the kid to either push in a clutch pedal or the brake while starting the car would be enough to prevent someone about three feet too short from hurting himself.
I'd like to read your proposal on how illegal immigrants could, rather than cross the border without filling the proper paperwork, participate in a foreign country's democratic and judicial processes.
They wouldn't, because they're not citizens. Do I go to France and dictate to them what their immigration policies should be? The democratic process is for citizens. Non-citizens must go through the proper channels. If they are truly dedicated to working (and maybe living) in the USA, they will go to the trouble. If they are just interested in a buck, they can stay away.
I imagine that if the tide of illegals was stemmed, that wage for berry-picking would go up and more strong-backed students would be willing to work. Of course, this is what people who don't understand that the laws of supply and demand apply to both services and products think is a "problem".
I think your terrible spelling, grammar, and attitude is probably why you're not succeeding. By the way, publically held corporations sometimes "work" the same way.
In new Mexico there are farms the pay over 10 bucks an hour, and have benefits, and they can't find anyone to do the work.
This is a phenomenon peculiar to NM, which has an extremely low population density. Of course you can't easily find large numbers of workers in the local area. Maybe you should send the farm trucks north instead of south. The issue here isn't getting enough people-- it's getting legal workers. I would be fine with nearly the same number of migrant workers if they were "documented". They would be paid better, since they are no longer working outside the law, and this would certainly not result in any fewer Mexicans willing to work.
Picking is a very hard, and supprisingly skilled labor. Most peopel would rather take there 5 dollar an hour fast food job rather then pick.

Heh heh... no it's not. I picked and planted when I was a kid, and it was mind numbing and not skilled (unless you count telling the difference between a vegetable and the plant or the ground "skilled").
Sneaking into a country to help your family maybe be illegal, but it is not wrong.
Based on whose morality? If we are truly a secular society, the law is king. If you don't like the law, change it through participation in the democratic process (and the judicial system itself, to an extent).
Optical discs are a joke - 4.3GB is just not enough. Larger formats exist but are relatively expensive. Tape is expensive per MB and slow, plus it isn't random access and not suited to anything but slow full backups.
Your knowledge is out of date. For example, a SuperDLT 640 backs up at 32 MB/s with compression. Slower than a disk, but not "slow". Sequential access: well that's a given. Only suited for full backups? That's news to my company. Even daily incrementals and differentials are usually hundreds of megabytes or a few GB, which negates the small spool-up time of the tape. Besides, most modern tapes now store metadata on an internal chip so that an on-tape index does not need to be searched.
use RAID 0 mirroring
RAID 0 is striping. You probably mean RAID 10 or RAID 0+1.
You would set up the third disk as a hot spare. The mirror would rebuild onto it. Your hypothetical 3-disk mirror would be safer (because no rebuild time would be necessary), but it's pretty impractical. I would recommend investing in an additional disk and using RAID-6 (aka ADG).
Your argument is what we'd call "poisoning the well". Many have successfully recovered data using Spinrite, so however much of a "hack" or "blowhard" Steve Gibson is, he seems to have done well with Spinrite.
Besides dedicating only about 10% of the page to actual content, the grammar is actually even worse than it used to be. Don't they have any native English-speaking editors?

Throw them in a big pile with "NIC card", "ATM machine", and "as per", then douse with gasoline and light a match.

Is there a Slashdot setting to mod all posts containing the word "neocon" to -6?
If you can explain to me how a kid who can barely figure out how to use a potty can start a car and put it in gear, let me know.
Being a parent doesn't mean you have to be a total asshole, like the strawman you just constructed.

Err... maybe you're thinking of Amish, not Quakers.
Don't worry; we'll send the waves of needle snakes and gorillas to clean that up.
I'm not about to stand up for the rights of aliens to violate our laws.

He was talking about Columbia, not Challenger.
