however, as younger children would be far more likely to suffer serious emotional problems from getting held back IMHO
In my informed opinion, you are wrong, kids should be held back as soon as there is a hint of trouble. My parents held me back in first grade, against the wishes of my teachers.[1] I'm better for it. I was not ready for school at 5, and that extra year helped me mature a little so that I could handle school.
Children are adaptable. Sure they may suffer some emotional harm today, but better a little pain now that major pain through life as they are unable to deal with things that should be basic. Remember by not holding kids back who need it you are forcing them to take lower grades because future education relies on knowing the past material that they don't know. They cannot learn today's lession because it depends on yesterday's, which they don't know. They can't catch up without missing today's lession, so they are always behind, and it shows in their grades. These poor grades mean they won't get into a good college latter on, which in turns prevents them from getting as much pay latter in life. So by not forcing them to suffer a little when young you force them to suffer throughout life.
[1]The teachers didn't want the fact that I couldn't read mar the report on their new experimental education system. Three years latter there was a big battle, and the parents forced the school to drop that system. (I would have likely failed with any system as I was not mature enough for school, there were others who were passed who would have done fine in a normal system)
HP printheads did wear out. They lasted longer than one tank, but you were lucky to get 2 refills from a cartrage before it was too worn out to use. I'm sure it cost HP 7 times more money to make the print head wear out that quick, than it cost to design to printhead in the first place.
Planned obsolesce is expensive to engineer correctly, but if you make money on the replacements it is worth it. It would be easier, but they need to make sure there are few warranty issues.
Experts expect human population to peek at ~10 billion in 60 years. Your math is correct, but is starts from false assumptions - past growth is not continuing into the future. Many countries in Europe are shrinking in population before immigration. (that is the locals are not having enough babies to replace the people who live there) The US is likely to hit that in a few years. As India improves (and they are improving fast) their birth rates are dropping.
Those who really know population grow are at least as worried about population loss as they are about growth.
Actually the majority of Americans who voted for Bush were concerned about issues other than Iraq. The alternative (I voted for a third party, but I was well aware that my choice had no chance. Realistically there were two choices) to Bush was significantly worse in many ways on internal issues. If you are not an American you don't care about those issues, but they are more important to us. Most of the media was surprised when exit polls showed the economy was considered more important than Iraq to voters.
There were many justifications to going to war with Iraq, not just WMDs. WMDs were the most visible, but they were not the only one. The ruler of Iraq was a thug that most Americans (Not just a few neocon) were not happy with even before 9-11, several months before that attack there were still people who seriously believed that the US made a mistake in not taking him out in the '91 war. I don't know many Americans who thought there was a direct connection. (though he surveys say it is otherwise) The Americans I know saw a thug who was happy to see anything against America, who was sorry he didn't pull that off first.
Don't forget ethanol. Some claim it costs more energy than you save, but those claims are not well backed up. A regular car (anything since the 1970s) can run on pure ethanol with just a change of the injectors. Buying a car that can run on E-85 sends the same message. Plus you save ~$.50/gallon. (though most cities don't have pumps)
Said rental contract cannot legally say anything about your use of the 802.11 bands. They might be able to get your for stealing if you use their service, but if your AP conflicts with their service there is nothing they can do.
This only applies in the US of course, other countries have different laws. Even if the US things vary from state to state and city to city. (This case is more clear cut because the FCC has control over radio bands) They cannot do anything about your use of 802.11 because they do not control it. Of course they can find other ways to make your life miserable until you leave,
Management cannot do what you say. They can try, but there are laws that are more powerful than them. In the US (and most of the world has similar laws) WiFi is on a public band, any provision that I won't put something on the WiFi band is illegal by federal law. They also cannot search tenants space without either permission or an emergency. Fire/flood is the only reason they can enter my space without my permission.
If they want to charge for WiFi they can - but they have to secure their end, or accept my interference.
Now the facts in this particular case are more complex - I have not examined them all.
I intentionally leave my AP open for anyone to use. Please return the favor. It might be technically illegal, but it doesn't cost either of us anything so why care?
Sure you are unlikely to be near my house, but I'm unlikely to be near yours too.
I get my power from a co-op. Back in the 1930s the farmers in my area realized that they would not be served by any utility because there was no profit in them. So they got together and started a co-op and wired the county. We are now one of the fastest growing utilities in the nation (Minneapolis is growing right into our territory).
There are likely to be some old laws on the book in your state that you can fudge to help you. Have a lawyer look them up. You will need a lawyer before you get very far, so best is if you can find one to be a partner now, and hire him.
As the other guy said... The T-Mobil is on 1900mhz ONLY in the US. 900 and 1800 are used in most of the rest of the world, but no cell phone in the US uses either.
You should choose linux friendly hardware even if you decide linux isn't for you. By doing so you leave your options open should things change latter on.
Perhaps today linux isn't for you, but what about tommorrow? Your boss (might not be your current boss) may say you need to know linux for some project. Perhaps Microsoft donate money to fight your religion. Perhaps you will want to learn something new latter. Perhaps you will want a piece of the Linux job market that is currently (currently as of that day in the future, not today) paying better by a lot. Perhaps...
Even if none of the above come about, a medium or large company should insist on only Linux friendly hardware so that Microsoft does not dare to call their bluff when they ask for lower prices. If your hardware is linux friendly the only thing standing in the way of moving the company to linux is training, and that effort is generally overestimated (compared to training to move to the next Windows version). If Microsoft does not believe your threat is serious they are a monopoly and won't need to treat you like a valued customer.

1993 was not the year of the LAN. However 1993 was the year columnists realized that the LAN was everywhere despite never exploding. Linux will be the same, just around the corner from mass adaptation, until suddenly it is everywhere, yet there is no one year of linux.
I might not recall the exact years LAN started and ended as topics of "next years big thing", but it was around the ones I mentioned.
That is dangerous. If a semi cannot safely go the speedlimit of the faster car, then the faster car needs to slow down. Speed variability is what kills, not speed itself.
Change the last line: When there were already 20 firefighters who could do the job better than me on scene? Better for me to stay out of their way.
Though if it happened exactly as the above I'd question the sanity of someone who could fill out a college application knowing a near relative is on fire. Assuming we ignore that part though, my line fits better.
There are many things to do, but that doesn't mean I can do a good job on them all.
Compare cars of the 1970s to the cars of today. Even the best cars of then stack up badly to the best cars of today. Once in a while you need a complete redesign to take advantage of new technology. Ideally without the politics of course...
While I don't agree with the hold of prisoners in Cuba, that does not violate the Geneva convention because these prisoners never were covered by it - they (their government) did not sign such a thing.
I'm sure you do. And I'm also sure that you cannot name a single item that is "impressive" that she has accomplished since she was appointed to either of her jobs.
... Thinks...
Nope. Come to think of it any adviser or cabinet member who does something impressive is failing at her job! Their job is to tell the president how to look good, so if they look good they failed at placing all the credit on the president. If they look bad, well it is their own stupid fault for the stupid idea they were proposing. Hard place to be in, but they get a lot of behind the scene power.
It has happened, not on the supream court, (that I can recall), but to the other federal courts. Several judges have been impeached for things like taking bribes. Several others avoided impeachment (and many of the rest avoided conviction) by resigning.
I can read - I have read the decision. I have also read the 5Th amendment, not just quoted it. I also read the discents, which quite clearly state that with this ruleling the public use clause disappears because there is no such thing as something that cannot be called public use under the ruleling.
It is Thomas's discent that considers the idea that property can be taken without compensation, so long as it is for private use. (He rejects it, but isn't positive the others will)
There is no way this can be called a public use improvement. Perhaps jobs will be created but the people living in that area already have perfectly good jobs (or are retired).
I'm once again glad I don't have flash installed on any of my machines. There are good uses for it, or so I'm told, but in generally you don't need it.
Obscurity is good. I ran a Slackware 3.0 firewall at home for years without a problem. We even challenged people [script kiddies] to shut our connection down. Amazing how little effect WinNuke had on a mac (68k) protected by a Linux firewall.
Now I run *BSD, which is likely to be secure against someone with a clue as well. (Slackware 3.0 is old enough that most things were not)

Well since you mentioned it, I'm superior to you because I don't watch TV. :)
Well you did ask for it.

You are thinking the wrong RAID Try This one.
Apparently Intel had a termite problem in their offices, and the EU had to step in before the problem spread to other companies in the area.

Or will the TV stations roll out internet service themselves, since they have the license?
