You mention both the caste system and the test system, but I thought the whole point of the standardized test system was to get away from the caste system to something more meritocratic. Perhaps the British did a little bit of good to India in this regard. I know it's possible for a dalit to become a professor, provided ze scores well on tests. So at least in academia, the test system is having some positive effect.
Of course, it could be useful for a future job, depending on what that may be. You'll never miss that skill that you don't have, because you'll naturally move yourself into what you are capable of. You won't need much math for front end stuff, user interfaces, accessing a database, code monkey stuff. Actually, you don't need much CS either. But if you want to get into physics simulations, signal processing, graphics/audio processing, finance, video games, writing a database,..., that math knowledge would come in handy.
Precise guidelines for arrest and conviction are definitely a good thing, except if you are white and privileged. You would rather simplify the law and leave all the special cases to the prejudices of the cops, which suggests you've had it easy.
AFAIK, most of the flavor comes from the fat, not the muscle. Add some lab-grown fat to a nice soy-burger and I bet it will taste a lot more meaty than lab-grown muscle, which will probably turn out to be a dry, tasteless, block of protein.
/. would be up in arms if the government mandated that ISPs had different prices for access to different websites. Want the xxx domain? Better get the premium package.
Bad laws are almost never repealed by petitions, demonstrations, or legal means. They are only repealed when brave people are willing to break the law. Then, the laws can judged in the courtroom, and hopefully be rendered invalid. Kinda weird system we have, but breaking the law is your patriotic duty.

But it's probably better for KYAnonymous to make a ruckus before sentencing
for example, "And Yet It Moves"

if you really believe that, you are worse at probability than those people who buy the tickets.
It's also against the rules to assassinate enemy leaders outside war
Well that's not surprising. The "rules" were written by a cabal of leaders.
Simple. Put the ICBMs on a ship or sub 5500km away.

Manufacturers try to cut costs, not add them.
Blame is definitely on a sliding scale. Bullying is terrible, but not equivalent to homicide.
It's kinda pointless if everyone shares shitlists because then every company would be on it because every company is shitty.
Yeah, not long ago I got Psychonauts on Steam for $2.50. I can't imagine buying it used for that cheap.
If they offer the option of encrypting the email, it's not going to work for 99.9% of people anyways.
Naw, you'd still have people talking about it, just like you have people talking about cell phone tower radiation and water fluoridation.

Yeah, you can work in prison... for 12 cents an hour. Let's face it, it's basically slavery.
I think most of us grew up learning in school that kicks, threats, and robbery aren't really taken seriously. Drugs, on the other hand
Probably to prevent scalping.
all the niche programming will go away, and you'll be left with just a few popular channels.

It seems every week we manage to extend the life of mice or rats, but it never makes its way to humans.
