No, you can't *make* them work. But you can hire them, provided that they want the job. I don't see why this should be against the law. I know a lot of kids my age (~16) that break the labour laws of their own free will so they can make more money. It works out well for everyone involved.
Yeah. And if they ever figure out how to detonate explosives remotely, we're screwed! At least with Al-Qaeda's current M.O., bombing becomes a self-correcting problem.
No, I wish I was able to get such a featureless phone. My phone only supports what is known as "polyphonic" (coloquially: loud and stupid sounding) ringtones. These can be composed from any sound, but not on the phone. These can only be downloaded at their exorbitant data rates, with their browser that I can't be bothered to figure out. Also, the color screen seems to be specifically engineered so that it's either obtrusively bright (indoors) or impossible to read in any kind of sunlight.
The problem with this is, at least on my phone, all the default ringtones are shitty. Why can't they just provide a ringing phone ringtone? I have my phone permanently on vibrate, and that's the way it stays because I'm so fucking sick of the ringtone selection.
Ummm... except for Ebola virus and other such nasty diseases, I don't think viruses or worms would cause blood everywhere. But anyway, enough pointless criticism of a sarcastic post.
Hell yeah! I'm doing my PPL course, and am planning to go into commericial aviation. We still use the E6B. When I was doing my Physics final exam this year, there were questions involving vector addition basically using the example of an airplane and wind pushing it a certain direction. What wouldn't I have given to have my E6B there! Much better at what it is meant for than my new-fangled TI-83. And, yeah, we haven't yet moved to digital stuff at all in terms of flight computing.
Not true... I have a widescreen monitor (1280x768) and X.org does not want to support it no matter what I do... any advice about that? Do widescreen monitors need to be set up for a specific monitor model (in which case, I haven't been able to find mine)?
It is my prediction that, during my lifetime (I'm 16), people will forget about smoking, and the current anti-smoking frenzy will be replaced by something else (I'm thinking anti-obesity frenzy, it's already starting), and it will be considered healthy to smoke three cigars a day. Everything causes cancer or death in some way, and we only care about what we discovered most recently.
No, you're an idiot. If you can't tell the difference between a racing game and reality, you a cretin who should not be allowed to have a driver's license. My parents have nice, fast cars, and I just got my driver's license. I also just bought Gran Turismo 4, and I play GTA regularly. Now, here's the thing: I never speed by more than 20 km/h unless I'm passing, and I always try to go with the flow of traffic. I can tell the difference between a game and real life, and I could care less when a tiny-dicked Honda Civic ricer-wannabe passes me as I'm driving my Dad's SLK320. Idiots are the problem with the world, and IMO video games don't enter into it.
A real flight simulator? Now, I know some nice flight sims can be built, but one that gets close to actually simulating the feeling of flying costs a hell of a lot of money. I say this as an avid sim pilot currently undergoing real training to be a real pilot. Bad habits in the sim are more likely to fuck you up than they are to help you, trust me. And unless you spend more than a million dollars on a Level-D sim, I don't think sim hours can count toward actual training. (not to mention that, until you start flying jets, it would be more economical to just buy a Cessna 172 trainer).
Ooops... I hadn't checked the link in a while; it doesn't work. And since I don't feel like sacrificing my bandwidth to see it, I guess you'll just have to google for tribute.wmv until you find a working link.
You, sir, are a pussy. And not a bright one either. Sure, there are places where the speed limit is the way it is for a reason, but this does not apply to 99% of speed limits. As another poster mentioned, this is because they do have to pander to the lowest-common-denominator of drivers. They also like to write tickets. I have seen places where a speed limit goes from 100 km/h to 90 km/h, then to 80 km/h just because of changes in jurisdiction. Consider this: the Trans-Canada through most of BC has a speed limit of 90 km/h. It's a 2 lane undivided highway for much of this, but then consider that the speed limit on provincal highway 6, which has no difference other than less upkeep, has a speed limit of 100 km/h. You are naive.
You look too far into my comment. I thought I might get modded funny, or perhaps redundant (yeah, I saw it coming...), but this reply... seems to be written by a person who can't tell when another is joking. If you do this for every useless one line comment, I don't envy the carpal tunnel syndrome you will develop.
It's funny because it's true... snobbism has probably led him away from listening to other good music, because it doesn't fit his image of what he should listen to.

That is doesn't protect humanity from the Terrible Secret of Space. What use is it then?
It may hurt, but it is the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts. Just think of how Canada feels: we have to live beside them...
1) The parents permission, at home.
or
2) The prescription of a doctor (I've actually heard stories where this has happened).

And, lo, they might have even been able to spell!

And, if they needed the input of another computer, what was their bandwidth like?

Also, don't take my comment to mean that there aren't some videogame playing cretins who definitely shouldn't have driver's licenses.

Not to mention that you spelled "genius" with one o too many. I think that pretty much disqualifies you.

You'll either end up on the floor laughing, or think I'm a horrible person who deserves to go to hell.
It had to be said...

I wouldn't want anything running Windows to be implanted in me either!

Well, "gun shot" could be included. It is only W that is longer than what it represents, as G and S both have only a single syllable.
