There are too many quacks loose in the fields of science as well as software industry.
I suggest a mock demonstration of cold fusion experiments. When the actors start talking about how others are doing the experiment wrong, but they can't release information, stop the whole charade and bring in Darl McBride so he can meet his forefathers in the snakeoil trade.
I don't care if they thought Stalin was Jesus. Until they made any movement (like killing people, or stealing) they have a right to walk the streets like anyone else.
Wake up. There is such a thing as the outside world, and whether you like it or not it isn't part of any society, it just is regardless of what influence one person has on another.
I don't want a paradise on Earth. I want a place where I can live and learn things you'll never get trained or taught to do or understand. I want a place where I can test the world to see what's true and what isn't for myself. I exist dammit. I'm not just taking up space. I am. Therefore I will think. Therefore I will not be molded without prior agreement. As if Lieberman will get elected in 2004. HA!

Doing this sort of "we don't really know what we're going to find but let's subject our children to more of that brick-in-the-wall feeling" IS the scientist's equivalent of being a brick layer. Frankly these scientists couldn't excel in any other field and now they're terrorizing our children.
Well, my son was suspended from kindergaten when he was 4 (a little early for him but they made all sorts of noise about him being placed in kindergarten). Something about him lashing out at another child. The school never told my wife of any problems and decided on their own they would assign some psychologist to him. The principal said that my son would never amount to anything.
The kid was 4, and the PRINCIPAL was passing judgment on him as to what he would turn out like in his future. Now think about that kind of attitude mixed in with data about kids who have no education in the finer things such as dealing w/ frustration, loneliness, phobias, wanting that other kid's toy, and name calling for example.
Researchers are not truly looking for knowledge here. They're looking for explanations which they already have given their attitudes. Having an opinion is their security blanket and they can't live without passing judgment. They just need data to support whatever models they have already put together in the back of their minds.
Do you want these kids to live with the stigma of whatever that data is going to show because researchers think their work is done once they pass judgment (research papers are nothing if you can't come to some conclusion)?
Already teenagers have no rights against being searched and treated like criminals or rights to criticise their school in a harmless webpage.
What do our children going to look forward to if we allow these myopic losers who make no distinction between a human being and an ant they are studying. Human beings deserve a chance to develop just because they do. Even if at the last day before the sun scorches the Earth into a giant piece of charred rock (does something burning stink if there's no one left to smell it?), none of the patience and rehabilitation saves mankind from its own destruction, human beings deserve it. I'd say so even for mistreated animals. It's part of human kind's right to free will - free will is something you grow and maintain not something that you either have or you don't.
Just when do we get to become part of the public?/me is going to turn 30 in about 2.5 years.
Do we get to be the public when we turn 30?
Cuz I think there's going to be a lot of changes if that's the case.
I don't think too many people love the media, so it'll be only a little while longer before Congress gets the message that the ppl who vote for them aren't buying from the people who lobby them. The money will eventually dry up.
We already know where his house is. We already know where the library is. And you can always go to unitednuclear.com.
What we need is a way to dissolve the sort of venom that these people like to build up.
I think that as long as the media play the lackeys they have been, there's going to be someone who can't take it anymore.
Now assuming the truth were able to pervade the common comunnication channels, then those other bomb making loons who can't handle the truth will find themselves laughed at.
Still no need for cameras. The switch will happen over needing a pencil, over telling a secret, over a closed clique insult about another kid, over an after school playtime event at the house of kids that the kid feels comfortable at. But having seen/heard of idiots who terrorize kids over left-handedness or the language they choose to speak, I think a study every so often would be fine.
It's the teachers who need to be studied to find missing brain cells.
Permanent sensors everywhere is not a study. I still don't why the equipment has to be there all the time.
I want to use computers not the other way around

I'll put this next to cloning a mammoth. Why the fuck a mammoth? Clone a dodo. You can have those as pets to fund the research. Researchers should be limited in the amount of time they can go w/o sex. They tend to accumulate a libido the size of mammoths.
Privacy means I own moi. How can children learn self respect and independent thought when everything is looking at them?
Researchers freak me out. I don't want to interact with a table. It's a fucking table. It's there to hold my plate... And other things.
Better instruct students? Hello! Instruction is one thing, managing students is a whole different thing. The presence of cameras will not help teachers teach better.
Cameras in classrooms that follow every thing in detail. Excuse me? How is that necessary for studying a child's behavior? Nevermind that we're talking about classrooms. Cameras on the kids every damn minute of the day.
This isn't science. This an act of monumental stupidity.
What parent would agree to this?

Wait this is America... it's for the children.
People think if they let fear run their lives willingly it will work out better compared to when governments used to do that forcibly.
No need for Planck time. Zeno is like a magician who leaves out important details.
Achiles does in fact pass the turtle. there's nothing that says Achiles has to travel short distance. Crry out Zeno's little joke to infinity and you'll find the place where Achiles and the turtle meet. Though these are infinite steps, the time that Achiles and the turtle take to finish them becomes infinitely small so the total time it takes for Achiles to meet the turtle if finite.
Gah! If it wasn't for technology like the Internet or TV you wouldn't know they were hungry (probably could by mail, but Americans are too lazy to become involved in mailed communication).
If it were for airplanes, you couldn't drop food shipments.
Priorities are fine. Food versus technology isa not prioritizing. It's basic neanderthal wanking pretending they're better because they're supposedly more concerned.
If a program can spit out code, notwithstanding code that does more than the minimum to complete the requested task, then the only creative element is the wizard user's decisions. Therefore it should belong to the user regardless what the license. Primarily because the wizard user has already paid for the creative elements of the development environment by purchasing the IDE.
If the code does more or differently from what the wizard user asks (like efficient design, or using one piece of code, where the wizard doesn't actually do anything but give the wizard user a security blanket), then stick that in a library and charge for the library. Otherwise that wizard is a contradiction in itself.
Stop trying to give users licensing heebie-jeebie, you can make your money otherwise (licensed libs), and quit trying to make creative people pay for their own creativity.
I have no problem making a buck on Free Software. Neither does FSF
I have a problem where someone tries to charge the developers. That's extortion.

Their lawyers are either crazy or geniuses. We won't find out until after the trial, as if there would be any.

Having the game guides is fun, dumbass. Reading printouts from a FAQ sucks balls. Like I want to run to the computer everytime I have some trouble.

HOW ARE PIXELS SPECIAL AND PROPRIETARY?
Forth filesystems have no proprietary components. They're just blocks of bytes.
Open block #
Send block # to port #
Close block #
The block looks exactly as it would in your computer's RAM.
There is no format in FORTH. There fore you don't need any special anything for the file.
You don't need a different camera. Just pretend it's a filesystem when the computer connects.
Forth uses numbered blocks. I have yet to understand why the camera should need a file allocation table.

When you turn up the volume to "YES I CAN MAKE A 104db sound" level, the soft notes will not be 104db. Therefore that will not damage your ears.
