IANAM (I am not a Medic), but apparently the bone density of a childs skull is less than that of an adult up until the age of about 12 when the skull stops growing.
(This is why you can push a newborn through a small hole, and they still pop-out okay).
I don't have all the details. It was a project I worked on about 8 years ago.
A child has a softer skull which hardens up to the age of 12 or so, when the head stops growing. Which is why pre-teenagers with big heads look kinda wierd:)
The penetration of a child's skull was around 7cm. An adults was a fraction of this, most of which entered via the ear canal.
I don't remember the details, this was 8 years ago, but I remember the penetration diagrams as a function of age, and there was a difference.
You aren't doing anything illegal? Are you sure? By the time you choose to "stop", you have already been tried, found guilty and charged or fined.
Laws are so complicated, chances are you are doing something illegal without relizing it. And, despite that a Lawyer needs 7 years of post-graduate training, for the layman, ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it
One example:
Sex toys are illegal in Texas.
Now, personally, I have no problem with anybody popping a Mr Buzzy into any handy orifice if that's what gets them off, but its appears to be a problem in Bush's home state. Maybe there's something in the Bible about it. No idea.
Sure, you aren't going to bomb a plane, or extort a million dollars.
There are already toll-roads who will fine you if the time you took between the entry and exit implies that you sped. You were never detected actually speeding, and you can easily get around it by stopping off at a gas station and drinking a coffee.
But, hey, suddenly you get a letter in the mail for jaywalking, because there was no legal way you could have made the trip between two sidewalk monitoring points without having crossed the road illegally.
Then you go to jail for buying a vibrator in New Mexico and then driving to Lousiana. You must have passed through Texas, right?
Extreme example, but if big-brother is watching you, any little seemingly unimportant infraction becomes revenue for the government.
Realize that if you are focused on 20 different things, not a single one will ever get done
I'm so glad you don't work for me. Take a time management course.
I actually worked with a group doing mobile phone testing. We found that the radio waves penetrated very deeply into the skulls of children 12 years and younger. At the time it wasn't a problem because there were very few kids of this age with mobiles.
As to whether it caused damage or not... no idea. We just did the physics.
You use GPLed code in an application. You didn't pay for the GPLed code.
What does the person who GPLed his code get? Your code.
If you don't want to give him your code, don't use his.
Why should you be allowed to use his code, and not give anything back?
Simple, really.

True,
One thing you will get from an MBA is a different way of looking at problems. We have an engineering perspective, that isn't always in harmony with the business perspective.
It helps you supress the "WTF" when marketing make some out-there comment.
The "Name Brand" MBAs give you contacts that the others don't. If you want to be the next Lee Scott, you need that. If you are a mortal, the knowledge gained is more valuable than the name of the MBA.
Sure, SCO has Samba, but its no competitive advantage for them.
If you can write software that gives you or your chosen company a competitive advantage, go right ahead.
Also, only by writing code do you become a good coder. You might have hard-drives full of applications that you've written, but who knows about them? And thus, who knows about you?
Nobody's forcing you to GPL your code, so why should you criticize those who chose to GPL theirs?

That was a coffee out the nose moment. Shame I don't have mod points.

You, as a business, can have limited liability.
You, as a person, cannot.
Um.. communist and fascist are as about as far apart as you can get using a linear political spectrum.
Not defending either, but all you did was reinforce the original posters point. "Communism is bad" even though you don't even know what it is.
More productive, but by no means as fun. :)
Good point.
