I don't think YOU can understand why it is wrong. There reason you can't is because it isn't wrong. Your really want it to require a masters degree to teach a kid to add. You want that to be the case really bad, but it just doesn't.
Do you really think that it takes a masters degree to teach a child to add? To multiply? To solve polynomial equations? Let me assure you, you do not.
As for the amount that teachers make, you are using "Teacher Math", which is not very good math at all. You clearly did not follow the link. You dismissed it without reading it. You also used "Teacher Reading Comprehension", which also is not very good. Without following the link, you could see the statement "Here is a good example". Now, without a masters degree, I could easily teach a child that the statement "Here is a good example" means that one instance was going to be shown. A child that was taught be me, would not think that the link was going to show the national average.
You post links of teacher's salaries and declare them to be lower than the average, but you never post what you are comparing them to. For example, your link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the national median pay for a high school teacher is 53K, you didn't link to the national median.
Surprise, Surprise, your own source says teachers have above average earnings. Look all you want. Every source puts teachers as earning above average wages.
I don't think Sockatume wants a USB Bluetooth radio. What he wants is a USB headset that instead of being hooked into a physical speaker and a physical microphone, is hooked to the audio in on a Bluetooth transceiver. The PS4 would see a USB headset. It would not see anything Bluetooth about the adapter.
Gamers won't lose their Windows library. They just do what they do today. Play their Windows games on their desktop. That is the thing that Steam is doing right. They are letting you play the games you buy on the Linux based console AND on the Windows based desktop. History shows that console gamers have no problem losing all of their games from the previous platform. Usually, they will just add another console to their TV and play on both systems until they find they no longer use the old one.
I think many people are getting hung up on the fact that you CAN play Steam console games on the desktop, and think that this means you have to run Linux on the desktop to do this.
It might take a second court hearing, but it could be arranged. It will be intersting to see what the courts do about the mother refusing to comply with the court's orders.
Did you respond without even reading what it was you were responding to? You do understand how herd immunity works right? The chicken pox vaccine is creating the kind of situation we have been seeing with Measles. You get enough people immune, and it becomes rare that you run into the virus. Then people stop being immune, and it only takes one person to bring the disease into the community to cause huge outbreaks. Chicken pox isn't going away. There is no world wide effort to completely eliminate it. That means that it will periodically show up again. A temporary decrease in cases is exactly what you would suspect when the majority of the population is receiving a temporary vaccine.
What mechanism do you think is coming into play that would prevent adult chicken pox when the vaccine is temporary?
Show me a vaccine against dying from a home cooked meal, and I'll take that too.
It's called not cooking at home. It doesn't even require a needle. You actively have to, and do, take act to increase risk of death to yourself, and those around you. Fire safety also relies on the equivalent of herd immunity to prevent death.
It is strictly a matter of what regulation and the courts allow them to get away with. Do you think that car companies assume any liability that they could avoid?
Time will tell on how well it takes off, but I disagree with your analysis of what systems people will run. Valve is shooting to replace the console with Linux first. The Desktop would be a secondary target. With every Linux game also including the Windows version, Valve has made it so that you don't have to buy two versions to play both on the TV in Linux and on the desktop in Windows.
On the TV, Windows really doesn't have much of a lead over Linux. Games on Windows are simply not designed to run via a controller without a keyboard and mouse. So, both OSes are basically starting from scratch when it comes to market share on the TV. Windows currently has a lead on quantity of software, but it is all fiddly. It will only take a couple of dozen games that properly support controllers for Valve to surpass Windows in the category of games that properly run on a TV.
And you can avoid catching chicken pox by avoiding all contact with other people, which is about equally practical.
No. It isn't. You know it isn't, but you don't care.
So if vaccination were just pushing infection off to adulthood, we should be seeing a big spike in deaths and hospitalization from chicken pox in adults. Except we aren't [nih.gov]
As any rational person would do, I listen to the information available, dismiss the outright impossible, and then work with the most likely answer until further information comes along. At that point I do the whole thing over again.
Of course, that is besides the point on what you said. You said "If you ask and COMPETENT doctor,". In English, that means you don't consider anyone who disagrees with you to be competent. It is a tautology, and thus invalid.
So, I bring it back to you. Do you really accept every doctor's opinion?
What does polio, TB and similar have to do with what I said? Your "Anti-Vaxer" behind every tree mentality is clouding your ability to think rationally.
You need to re-read what I wrote without the Anti-"Anti-Vaxer" glasses on. I never said that Herd immunity didn't exist, and saying that the mantra of "Herd Immunity" isn't an end all be all answer is exactly the opposite of a sweeping statement. You are letting your bias interfere with your reading comprehension.
You can find info on it at the CDC and NIH. You will have to look at the data instead of the conclusions though. The chicken pox vaccine is a temporary vaccine. It only took 5 years for the NIH to find that the vaccine does not offer life long protection. The chicken pox disease is 10x more likely to kill an adult than a child. Pre-vaccine, 95% of all reported cases of chicken pox were in children, while 55% of all deaths were in adults.
Given that information, it is completely irresponsible for the CDC and NIH to be recommending vaccination for all children. The responsible thing to do would be to recommend the vaccine around the age of 16 for those that have not caught the disease naturally. By doing this, you would get about the same death rate as we have post vaccine, without the huge increase of risk to people later in life. The fact that shingles rates wouldn't be rising would also be a bonus.
Of course, this would mean that the parents would make less money because they would have to take a week off work to actually care for their children. It would mean that schools would make less money because the student would be out for a week. The doctors would make less money because it would be one less procedure to perform. The drug companies would make less money because they wouldn't be selling as much of the vaccine. Pretty much everybody wins financially by using the vaccine in childhood except the child.
You don't even need a vaccine to stop from being burned to death in the kitchen. (or worse yet, burning one of those innocent children to death) Just don't cook in your home. Clearly, you feel that your convince is worth killing children for.
You are wrong that there is no evidence to support the notion that vaccination pushes infection off to adulthood. The vaccine was introduced in 1995, and by 2000/2001 we were already seeing serious failures. While the medical industry has taken your approach of boosters, you are now condemning people to requiring life long medical treatments to avoid a minor childhood illness.
Do you realize how low of a risk 100 to 150 out of 314 million is? Again, you have a greater chance of dieing do to a home cooked meal. Over half of those deaths were in adults. The chicken pox vaccine does not protect for life. It has a limited lifespan. The death rate of adults who catch chicken pox is 10x that of children. So, skipping the vaccine isn't the selfish view. GETTING the vaccine is the selfish thing to do. Getting the vaccine means that you are trading the hassle of taking a week off work to care for a generally mild childhood illness in exchange for putting your child at 10x the risk when they become adults. Not to mention the large number of people you are causing shingles in.
The chicken pox vaccine doesn't create herd immunity. It prevents it. All so that parents don't have to take a week off work.
The societal benefit of not getting the chicken pox vaccine is that the you don't push the disease into adulthood where it is 10x more dangerous. You also don't increase the rates of shingles.
On the other hand, you do not need to cook at home to eat.
Be prepared however to defend against the "but one child saved" groups.
And that is what we are seeing with the majority of posters here. Think of the children'ers who would happily see two people die at 25 if it saved one child. Even if that one child saved is also one of those that die at 25.
You need to look up the definitions of "Starting", "Minimum", and "Median". You are throwing the word "idiot" around in a way that should be very embarrassing to you.
Loki fell prey to the chicken and egg problem. Steam has a solution for this. You see, a lot of people don't want to buy games on Linux because they don't know if the next game they want will be Windows only. This makes buying Windows games safer. Steam gives you every version available when you buy a game. This means that if you are running Linux, buying Linux games, and you have to switch to Windows in a year, you still have all those games. Running Linux for your games loses all of it's risk. You can even run Linux on the machine hooked to your TV and Windows on your desktop. Loki's system would have required you to buy two separate copies of the game.
The thing is, the reason software companies sweep defects under the rug is because they can. If they produce safety equipment, they will just have to do the recalls also. Car companies are just a likely to sweep any defect they can under the rug. Look at the parts of cars that are not safety related, and you will frequently find that they are crap. You will also find that car companies will happily make excuses as to why the problems are not really problems.

Fair enough.

Here is the the link you wanted. It shows income for both teachers, AND the rest of the public: http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#00-0000

Yep. Backward compatibility in consoles is the exception. Not the rule.

My first world problem is having to listen to people think they are being deep by dismissing problems by declaring the "First World Problems".

Yet.
You are looking at too short of a time period given the effective time of the vaccine.
As any rational person would do, I listen to the information available, dismiss the outright impossible, and then work with the most likely answer until further information comes along. At that point I do the whole thing over again.
Of course, that is besides the point on what you said. You said "If you ask and COMPETENT doctor,". In English, that means you don't consider anyone who disagrees with you to be competent. It is a tautology, and thus invalid.

The main unanticipated result has been a growing number of outbreaks of varicella among immunized children
The most cited risk factors for breakthrough varicella include the following: (1) 3–5-year interval since immunization
Given that the vaccine is temporary, it is no surprise that you would have an initial drop in disease cases, followed by an increase.
