I'd say the larger danger to American children is the religious brainwashing that is so prevalent. America is just too damn religious. It gives children easy answers instead of prompting serious thought and discussion. There are few things more ignorant than using 'because Jesus says so' as reasoning. Whether it's evolution or abortion or even something as simple as what appears on tv, religion has far too large of a say. Weren't we supposed to be free from the impositions of religion? I think we've fallen prey to the pressures of many different religions.
Competition will find a way. A game will come out with a 'load roster from internet' option and then you will have the exact same teams, names etc probably at a fraction of the price. People will only become angry enough to do this now that they have been forced.
I agree, but with a multiple mile radius you could have access to thousands of cars. It's more than just likely someone will have similar tastes to you especially if the application can correlate tastes and try to pick things out for you.
You're talking about some kind of Ponzi scheme here. Your servants kids then reach the same level as you and then what? Are they supposed to each have a servant with kids to do the same thing? At what point is there such a class structure that revolution occurs?
You'd think with only 50 results that would be easy to check by hand or automatically since you could probably just subtract two weeks from the election date (or however far back you want to go), and compare it to the date of death and then you've removed any chance that those 50 individuals died after filling out absentee ballots.
But if the RIAA were to sue someone for downloading from allofmp3, a company that claims to have the rights to resell licensed music, they would cause themselves a massive headache in having to explain which of the many avenues of music acquisition are legal. At that point I think many of their customers would just give up and take it since there's a very good chance paying for it was just as wrong. Basically, you're almost certain to be fine after buying from allofmp3 because it would be difficult to catch you, and secondly if they did catch you they probably wouldn't prosecute because it would undermine their internet distribution.
They're not worried about most of the commercials you don't watch, they're interested in that one commercial you do watch or just receive through sublimation and later recall it's 3 pizzas for 15$ on {insert day of the week}.
50 cents a show is totally unrealistic. You're probably looking at 1.99 or 2.99 if itunes charges.99 cents for a song. Or even more likely than that you'd get access to the library for 9.99 monthly recurring charge.
The real thing holding back this type of setup though is the number of people that it takes to distribute something internationally as you have many different companies licensing the content for their airwaves and fearful that new distribution methods will hurt their viewership. I'd be surprised if it didn't. You also have syndication and dvd sales to worry about.
On that note it seems like quite a few people lose/upgrade their phones on a yearly or semi-yearly basis. In that case the cost of moving the songs over in time would be a large burden. Also, it seems like with people gravitating toward smaller and smaller phones it seems difficult to believe that someone will come up with something small enough to look cool and sleak with a hard drive to store thousands of songs that doesn't significantly sacrifice battery life and hardware durability. This seems like something many years down the line.
How about someone come up with a figure for the loss of productivity when no one in Kansas knows what evolution is.

I agree, life is way to short to get hung up spending all that time working. The best work I do is when I'm fresh and creative. I'd say I get half as much done every hour working after 10. Also, it's important to have priorities. 10 years from now do you really think those extra hours are going to make even a small difference in where you are in life? Jobs have no loyalty to you; don't think for a second that anything you do for them will bring you any loyalty when they're looking for someone to lay off. Everyone is replaceable.
It's pretty shallow to concentrate solely on one thing like work. Why not pick up an instrument, read a book or play a sport?
Your comment seems to imply that no one wants to travel. At least from personal experience it seems to me that the young, single people in general enjoy traveling for work and the married people (Especially with young children) would do just about anything to get out of it. I love traveling, some of my best stories are from all over the country, especially when I can do it on someone else's tab.
No matter what happened the fundamentalist has an explanation of why God chose that particular outcome. If he'd been working on towers for 10 years the odds are not incredible that the one year he didn't do it something bad would happen. If he had done it and someone had been seriously hurt he probably would have just chalked it up to luck and not figured any of that into his thinking.
Analyzing mathematically a 2000 year old book translated through various languages and authors is an inherently flawed process especially when bringing infinite time arguments into the picture. Seems to me as ridiculous as worshipping a 2000 year old carpenter.
I am utterly amazed every time I read a story about {insert random southern US town} removing teaching about evolution for teaching something that is entirely based on religion. If you don't believe evolution is perfect, raise other issues and addendums to the argument like punctatated equilibrium and hopefully a bright student will sit down with the evidence and figure out what they believe in.

I thought the purpose of H1-B's in the first place was to provide labor in positions where the American labor pool can't fill the positions. This obviously isn't the case if the national unemployment rate for coders is higher than the average. Sorry if I ruffle peoples' feathers, but I've worked with H1-B's before and although they are hard working and usually very able, the ones that I know how much they make make far less than the average. Simply forcing them to work for one company and limiting their mobility ensures that they will never be fairly compensated and hurt the bargaining power of all, H1-B or not.
In college, we had six guys playing a franchise of Madden. Sitting around in the living room drinking discussing trades/signing and the draft was easily one of the coolest things to do. You wound up playing each once or twice a season and it got really competitive especially with your player's stats. Everyone got so personally involved in their players that I remember a buddy of mine needed a few yards to have his QB set the yardage record. He drops back to pass with seconds left in the game, his lineman gets pancaked and the QB fumbles the ball. We had 6 guys standing up screaming as the DE picks up the ball and runs it in eliminating him from the playoffs.
Since she logged in as the professor, she should have changed the email address to contact, then made several seemingly random grade promotions in the class from somewhere where her ip couldn't be traced. Then, a day or two later she should go in and change the emails back. Doesn't sound that hard and it's definitely easier than studying.

This is simply a game of PR. What's worse for relations, one layoff of 10-13k or the recurring layoffs of 2k 6 times making the news each time?

These valiant citizens braved all the hardships including death to make it to the polls... don't you feel bad now?

It'll all be moot when these scientists get off their lazy collective asses come up with a way to live forever.
