I believe that should be left up to individual teachers and librarians. What works for some does not for all, and I don't want the government to enforce a bad idea on everybody.
So everyone using Linux 2.2.6 and OpenOffice 2 is better than WindowsXP and OpenOffice? I fail to see the difference. Either way you have a staunch majority and lack the divertiy you seek.
We don't want to see Linux and OpenOffice dominate. We just want to see consumers have a choice.
Chernobyl is a bad comparison to the modern nuclear power for three reasons:
-It was a reactor designed for the production of weapons-grade uranium that had been converted to produce power.
-The situation that caused the reactor to explode was caused by tests. These tests are not part of standard operating procedure for any modern nuclear power plant.
-The safety systems were INTENTIONALLY DISABLED to prevent them from interfering with tests.
If anything, Chernobyl wasn't the failure of the reactor, but a failure of common sense.

Did you just imply that System Shock 2 sucked? How can you challenge a perfect, immortal game like that?

At least they'll admit they're enslaving you.
You misspelled Genesis.

This was the Supreme Court of Canada's basis for not criminalizing filesharing, IIRC.
Then you'll need money for indecent exposure fines. THAT can get expensive.

And humanity would wind up repeating the vicious cycle...
Apple does not hold near-total control over online music or MP3 players. Your point is moot.
If the aclu is so concerned about my rights, how come they don't protect my right to bear arms?
Maybe because the NRA already does that and the ACLU doesn't want to waste money that can be put to other causes?
I want a UNICRON T-shirt.
They said they would like to order one million space heaters. Or one million Intel PCs, whichever is cheaper.
The Fantastic Four must be pretty old at this rate!
Yes, but what was the question again?
Why? The car won't go.
Has anyone asked themselves why ADHD and other disorders are unknown in the Arab or [black] African worlds?
Perhaps because they refer to not conforming to a social norm as not conforming to a social norm, and not as a disease?
Police Quest never had copy protection. It didn't really need it; you need the information in the manual to get through the game.
All robots are equal... but some robots are more equal than others.
An entire topic about a red spot and no Goatse jokes yet? Is this Slashdot?
Well, at least he doesn't have to go far.
