When I was a kid growing up in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood, my Dad would take me to one of the Chicago museums every Sunday morning after I discharged my duties as an altar boy (no dirty jokes, please).
yep that's pretty much the point i'm trying to make - people should be judged by how they perform their jobs, not on what they do outside of their jobs.
You mean the guy who has trouble getting into the office before noon because he is always sleeping off his weed buzz from the evening before?
Like tasers, they say that they're a 'non-lethal' alternative to guns, but in reality they still use guns the same as they always did, but now use tasers when they would just have grabbed someone & handcuffed them, or just spoke to them.
Tasers are really good at killing criminals high on drugs.
Furthermore, cataracts do not fall under the definition of "permanent blindness" in the protocol. Cataract surgery is a common outpatient procedure and can certainly restore one's sight to better than 20/200 corrected.
The kid knew I was serious and started running, as did I. I jumped over chairs and desks while in pursuit only having one goal, to destroy that person.
It took 6 people to grab me and hold me against a wall until I calmed down.
That experience made sure that they didn't bother me anymore but it scared the fuck out of me.
Aren't you the guy who wrote that file system for Linux?
I guess you missed the part where the guy doing the repairs calls himself an artist. Simply going around doing free masonry work wouldn't be very artsy, would it?
How are these walls more functional? Did he build secret compartments into them? Is there something going on beneath the surface with lego mindstorms and underpants gnomes?
How do you think the gov't listens to your conversations?
That initiative usually comes from culture (house-hold culture) or... let's call it peer pressure. The chances for a kid having initiative to learn on his own (but hasn't learned this things from someone in the family) are slim to none.
I didn't learn it from any of my family or redneck friends.
There are a lot of educational games that are indeed fun. Before my kids were in preschool they had Sesame Street games (remember the Count?), and about the 1st grade I got them The Magic School Bus and Carmen Santiago, and some others I can't remember (my youngest is now 23 and managing a GameStop store).

Mention to my Dad, or many of my less tech-savy friends the concept of 'sudo' and they'll just glaze over.
The command line should never be spoken of outside the bat cave.
I don't think you realize how much electricity a G5 tower sucks up.

So... what's wrong with fiber?
Most people just don't get enough fiber.
Wrong word; prostitution is a revenue source that is untapped
I'm pretty sure they have been tapped. In multiple positions.
Start cooking all your meals with spicy peppers. Researchers are finding they are a natural pain killer.

I'm sure your discharge was very clean.
no.

I bet you object to spankings also.

Only for those who can afford it.
At Jupiter's distance, the Sun is well over a million times brighter than Sirius, the brightest star in the Terran sky. Barely distinguishable? Bah.
If you were standing on Jupiter, you would be squished by the gas pressure and not distinguish anything anyway.
Cheney is soooooo last presidency.
Undead Cheney is sooooooooo last century.
Everyone I know with an iPhone 4 has the issue(s)
And everyone I know with an iPhone 4 has NOT had any issues and are wondering what all this fuss is about.
Actually spammers don't mind paying small fees to spam forums as their credit card info is stolen anyway.
Depends on how hairy your palm is.
I guess you have issues using an Android or iPhone interface?

What does this mean, bullies not knowing how to interact are pent up with rage, and take it out on others.
You don't really think the atom bomb was developed for national pride do you?

I thought "artists" used their own feces?

And giving the kid a computer and broadband won't make up for a crappy parent.
Unless the kid has their own initiative to drive them.

Those games didn't get them into college?
