1) Either he predicted that his post would cause all these problems through his amazing powers of prediction...and posted anyway...making him a troll.....or

is not open source marketting...it is an lothesome technique. I once read an interview with a leading viral marketer (surf control prevents me from linking at this time) who was quoted saying something along the lines of "our customer realise it's not cost effective to have a product or service that is good enough to produce word of mouth, however we can hire people to create that word of mouth for a fraction of the price".
this is based on observation...so I can only explain it as maybe the developers without degrees get washed out of the industry if they're not spectacular (i.e. good enough so ppl overlook the lack of degree). We do a lot of industry stuff final year students, and predominantly the expectation is that they've done the hard yards (i.e. the degree), now it's time to cruise...now I'm just talking about my experience here, it's no doubt going to be different for others...so, all things being equal, I choose the guy without the degree because historically I've seen him continue for years trying to 'prove himself' better than his CS counterparts, whereas I've seen a lot (__LOT__) of CS graduates stop trying once they've settled into a job.
Again, just my experience:)

Well, someone has to pay.
Why not the company that's profiting from the sales of the drug? That would seem a lot fairer to me...or hey, I'm happy to pay through taxes if the research all goes into the public domain.
well, it's 3 years here, 4 courses per semester...so generally the only get to teach a little bit of everything...i.e a little java, a little c++ etc etc. IMHO, it's generally a waste of time.
My general experience, is regardless of who you hire, what they _actually_ learnt in school is pretty useless anyway. I talk to graduates all the time and seriously, the stuff they get taught is sooooo far from best practices it's laughable. So generally I have to train regardless. What I have found is that the guy without the degree generally has had to work a bunch harder to get a seat in front of me in the first place...which I respect...it also means you get less junk, that is, if someone hasn't got a degree, they generally have to be pretty darn good just to survive in the industry, however there are a lot of CS graduates that just 'coast' on their degree (not that there's anything wrong with that).
But that's just my observation for my particular situation.

actually, you'd be surpised how much of the R&D takes place at universities and research institutions funded by government, and is then licensed at a fraction of its worth in order to get it into the distribution chain.
I would take the one without...in my experience, the one without usually has more drive, motivation and enthusiasm for programming...and I always hire for attitude, everything else can be taught.
you're missing the point...brain scans have proven that a human being under 21 does not process information the same way as an adult...in every sense of the phrase, they are mentally handicapped when compared to an adult...a primary example is the stimulation of visual creativity when asked questions that would normally spur memory retrieval...especially when those questions relate to topics of cause and effect. So while you, as an adult, are aware of cause and effect from memories you hold, and underdeveloped brain doesn't access memory, but instead tries to visually imagine the impact of the cause and effect with no reference material to base assumptions on. What I find amazing is that someone who would normally think it inconvievable to make a handicapped person responsible for their actions would quite happily make a teenager responsible, where they suffer from similar disorders just at varying degrees.
Science has proven that teenages brains DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY...how can you impose the very adult concept of reciprocality on a brain that can't comprehend it. That would be like me (an australian) berating a frenchman for not knowing who RM Williams is.
recognize the distribution of responsibility to student as well as the teacher-duty
true, the 'practical' may argue this, but the 'educated' would argue that the synapses and firing mechanisms in the brain of a person under 21 are still unformed and fire completely differently to an adult, imparing their ability to judge and reason...just because they can look and talk like adults, doesn't make it so...which is why the legal term 'minor' exists.
Those who are 16, however, are very unlikely to straighten up by 18
Yeah, I had a public school teacher like you when I was 16...that's why my kids will only ever go to a private school. You have failed every student you have ever thought that about. Thank god my parents recognised the damage that attitude can have and yanked me out of public into private...where my grades soared, I went from D average to B's and A's and got accepted to Uni studying GeoPhysics...and so on and so on...I'm now extremely successful, however I'd probably be pumping gas now if my parents hadn't gotten me away from teachers with attitudes like yours.
....saying it's bad for your health to work over 40 hours a week...present it to your employer....if they fire you, sue their asses for unfair dismisal
actually, you can do that quite easily...check out the technology that aspectj was built on. AspectJ is a prime example of needed to extend that basic language functionality while adhering to the bytecode contract. Anyone who thinks they need to extend the interpreter (and change the byte code contract) has no idea what java is for...without a set byte code contract, you have no standard cross platform VM.
Go read the developer docs over at AspectJ, I forget the name (can anyone help me out?) of the framework it was build on, but it allows you to completely rework the java language introducing your own objects and syntax...and I'm guessing if you can pull off something as complex as AspectJ with it without needing to change the byte code format, then it'll probably handle whatever changes you need to make.
Unless of course, your objection is about the 'ability' to change rather than the 'need' to change...which is kind of like two kids arguing that if they happened to have an ice cream, who would get to eat it...kind of a redundant point IMHO.

HMOs don't work!
How can't you put a company, whose bottom line is profit and cost reduction, in charge of peoples health...it does not work...every day you hear more stories about it not working.
SO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD...GET MAD!!!!!!!!!
any one of you could be in a similar situation...and then it will be too late...make some noise that you want the system changed...get your friends to make noise...hell, do something radical...but don't allow health care to become a right of the wealthy...because guess what, if you get sick, you won't be able to work...and you won't be too wealthy then...and you'll have to do whatever the HMOs tell you to because you won't be able to take care of things yourself.
HMOs have it in the bag, because the only time you'll dispute their position, is when you have no bargaining power...you don't like their decision..they can quite happily say "ok, well, how about you die then"...I'm pretty sure your bargaining power is screwed at that point...for god sake Americans...dispute it now, while you're still in a state too.
Health is a right, not a comodity. This will not get better by itself...and for those about to argue that free market forces will sort it all out...it's suprising how little shopping around one does when they're hooked up to a life support machine.
So for god sake...MAKE SOME NOISE...CHANGE THE SYSTEM...before you don't have a chance to.
