So which version of human rights does apply in this case? Yours, mine, german, american or maybe that of an international body which would also be a version the governments of the involved countries signed?
Whose responsibility should it be to select a religion for those children?
Their own after they reached the age of consent. I myself was baptised as an infant (because my parents are roman catholic) and I find it unfair. I'm no longer part of that church nor do i view myself as christian. But for them i will always be one because being baptised can't be revoked.
I don't think that parents (who are working most of the time) can replace a set of teachers who have studied fulltime the two subjects they're teaching as well as pedagogy and didactics for 3 or 4 years.
So you're not counting the internet with it's plethora of protocols like WWW, XMPP, SMTP,... and services like bittorrent and MMORPGs? These things changed my life more than cellphones for sure. I almost exclusively communicate with my friends and family via instant messaging, email or voip.
Everyone always wants me to have labels on the graphs.
There may be a reason for that, don't you think?
I don't put them there unless you roll over the data, because I want you to see the patterns in the data without bias first.
How can i see a pattern if i don't know what your tuples consist of? An absolute minimum would have been "time" on the horizontal axis, "country" on the vertical one and "# of packets" on the z-axis. It could as well have been "coffee consumed at govt workstations while browsing slashdot for x mins".
There we go: Either a Microsoft shill or just another clueless moron babbling on about Linux without knowing the slightest thing about it...
Logic isn't exactly your strong suit, isn't it?
It's nearly 8 years since I found any hardware that wouldn't work under Linux.
Maybe you want to come out from under your stone, would you:
LG GH22LP20 (no DVD-burning) Toshiba Satellite A100-512(freezing SATA-port, no S2RAM, Fn-keys not working) some snd-hda-intel card on a friends laptop (raspy sound) Hama All-in-one cardreader (no SDHC) Scenic N300 i865G (X11 freezes after 1-3 days of use; yes: it has an Intel card. No S2RAM.)
On the last machine Windows 7 craps out with a BSOD several times a day. No issues with XP. And S2RAM never worked on any of my boxes.
Ubuntu.
And i was foolish enough to think your opinion had some merit. Ubuntu fanboys are worse than Apple ones, really.
Of course other Unix users think you are on crack and possibly lying about the whole "10 years" thing.
I don't care, because i know that i started using Linux with SuSe 5.2 or 5.3. There are other simple things that just didn't work, like a SATA chipset that just froze whenever there was high I/O or SD card readers which supported SDHC on other OSs - just not on Linux. Poor support for graphics and wifi cards in general. This burner was just a drop in an already full bucket.
10 years ago it wasn't as worse as it is today because there were no plethora of devices out there. You had an IDE or SCSI HDD, some optical drive (which may had writing capability), a floppy drive, a monitor with a svga capable graphics card, keyboard and mouse via PS/2, maybe a network card and that was it. Well, to be honest: customer grade printers were a PITA at that time (and they are still).
I recently quit using FOSS operating systems (*BSD, Linux) after 10 years because i finally had it with it's poor hardware support. Piece of hardware that didn't work? A simple IDE CD/DVD-Burner. The problem is: you'll not find much (if at all) information about recent, buyable IDE DVD-Burners and all you get from asking people about it is basically: "It's IDE, it's a fricking CD/DVD-Burner - nervermind, it'll work!". Since i get Windows for free (MSDNAA) i saved me 30EUR by using it.
Sounds familiar. I also don't own a car, i live 3rd floor without an elevator in the building, i usually cycle to university (20min) or walk in winter (45min). Taking the bus would take 40min, so there's really no incentive for taking it. Bad weather? I got good clothing.
More healthy solution I can think of right now: if you're equipment consists of a computer, move the "search information" (machine S) and "enter information" (machine E) function to two spatially separated machines (two consoles a meter or two away from each other). Connect only S to the net but connect E to S in a way, that found information can easily be displayed on E.
We need to rebuild our bodies for this environment - grow better brains, develop resistance to inactivity-related disorders, refine our dexterity for teleoperation.
I think that's exactly the reason why humans may be an evolutionary dead end. Our (comparatively) big brains allow us to build tools with which we can adapt quickly to any change in our environment and to survive in environments we never would without these tools (clothing, houses, fire, stashes,...). But our bodies won't adapt quickly enough to changed living environments created by our tools. We may be able to shape our bodies in a way that they are better suited for this living environment in the future (gen-therapy, etc.), but we wouldn't be human anymore after doing that.

Looks like the declaration of human rights isn't concerned with the exact method of schooling at all, eh?

prooobably shouldn't be taking risks with the whole (human rights) thing. Won't look good.
Maybe you can show us the paragraph in the declaration where it says that parents have a right to homeschool their children.
they are undermining their own freedom to oppose the Government.
How so? Opposing the government via their children?

I don't see what's so hard about this decision. Give handouts, of course.
ST10 sucked. ST11 was a "George Lucas" version of ST, which i refuse to recognize as ST.
I also don't get what he meant by "unique IP".

This guy is obviously trolling slashdot by posting a slashvertisment. I think it's right to mark him as that.
And when did the first stripe occur, say, 0600 Monday local time?
My first thought. I bet the first day of this 5-day-period is saturday.
We may call it an obelisk scheme, then.
What is this Star Trek 11 you're talking about? There are only 9 Star Trek movies.
Not here. It's as it was with 3.5.7: no acceleration. Did you update or reinstall?
What are you afraid of? That someone will say that they have the same hardware and OS and are willing to call bullshit on you?

Electrical current is the movement of electrons between atoms, it most certainly involves movement of electrons.
Electrical current is the movement of sources/sinks of the electric field. No atoms required.
