Sitting back waiting for the intelligent, insightful and informed posts explaining the merits of the two sides. Looking for the Anonymous Coward post by the informed insider.
The FBI has also learned that talking face to face us being used in nearly every criminal activity of two or more people (gangs). Henceforth all conversations must be recorded on your official government recorder, which will relay all conversations in real time.
Until you receive your recorder, refrain from I monitored conversations except in the designated monitored talking booths.
There is something wearing an American flight suit in the Cantina scene. But you know how the sand people will buy any old junk the Ferengi pick up that fell through a wormhole backwards in time.
I've refurbished dozens of business computers for kindergartens, families and senior citizens that can't afford a computer.
Install the latest version of Ubuntu. If you absolutely have to run a Windows app that just won't work under Wine, use VirtualBox.
Don't let your preconception limit the children. I've seen competent use of Blender at 8, Impress at 6, and GIMP and OpenOffice at 4. Without any guidance from adults. It doesn't hurt to have an app available.
If your video card supports them (it almost certainly will), consider some of these - I haven't evaluated them for suitability for K4, as the machines I get are much older and less powerful: # sudo aptitude install stellarium flightgear chromium btanks extremetuxracer fretsonfire neverball nexuiz openarena planetpenguin-racer rrootage supertuxkart tremulous warsow xmoto smc torcs glest vegastrike warzone2100 scorched3d supertux
The above list hasn't been updated since March 2009, I'm mostly dealing with school age children. For them I use the following, althought this is also the set my 4 year old daughter has been completely comfortable exploring and using:
My full set fits in 20 Gb. I have a remove list when I need to fit into 10Gb drives. I welcome any additions to the list.
I found it surprisingly difficult to find a comprehensive list of games and educational softwatre for young people on Linux. I hope my list helps someone. This list is in addition to the software that comes with a standard desktop install of Ubuntu. I don't use Edubuntu. I thought their extra software choices were paltry and that anyone could do much better. I think I have.
My parents choose to have my extreme shortsightedness corrected at birth instead of it being detexted at age 12 when I got glasses.
Instead of burying my head in books and learning logarithms and teaching myself to do maths in different bases, I could see the ball in sports.
Instead of hiding in the library I played cricket and rugby. I became a jock and captain of the rugby team.
Instead of studying computer science and going to university I tried and failed to be a sports star. Now I supervise the road construction crew in my home town.
Thanks mum and dad. Not that I'd know how my life changed thanks to my cure.

...you can't fix stupid.
At least, not yet. Science, genetics specifically, still offers us a little hope of finally leaving superstition behind us.
But it sure is difficult to watch the deluded go about their hand waving, crystal gazing, and ancient calendar worshiping.
That's just the sort of thing a Capricorn would say!
Earth's next trick is to move 3 million miles farther out from sun to stop that pesky overheating problem
What sort of commands are we sending?
"Keep going"
"Just keep going"
"Don't turn around and come back"
"Just a little bit further - just keep going"
"Nearly there - keep going"

I look forward to the day when American scientific research can generate tonnes more scientific research.
And how many tons are there per Library of Congress?
OK. I have poster's regret. Can I delete this now? ;-)
Good news! The delete comes with the permaban!
Hooray! Everyone wins!
The first person to make the "go at night" joke should be permabanned.
That sounds a little dark.
You ain't seen bold until someone funds my manned mission to the Sun.
As a cost saving measure, we'll go at night. As well as reduced insulation expenses, it's downhill all the way.
Off-site backups are _always_ worth the hassle

Provable losses is hard. Lower (or negative) profits versus just what exactly? Expectations? You need to run a parallel Earth. But you may find this interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sione's_Wedding#Copyright_violation_case Here http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10444843 it is suggested the film made $4m with a budget of $3.8m to make. So $200,000 profit rather than the claimed/expected $700,000.
I'm going to need a Plan B...

You insensitive clod!
My experience working in a hotel...
Business person (men and women) leave laptop in hotel room. Contact said person to return it.
"Oh, no, don't send it back - it's a year old - I claim on insurance and get a new, faster, better laptop. You can have it."
I can't help thinking an airport is a better place to "upgrade" your laptop - none of those pesky hotel staff trying to return it to you.
Just not true
