Well, that's all of us subsidising these corporations to pay lower wages through our taxes and gov services through our social services. People shouldn't put up with that. I'm in favor of needed social services, but not so that companies can pass the buck.
Couldn't we do this with a 1% tax on the whole population? Those who earn less will pay less. And it shouldn't just be for college. It should be for vocational and technical training too.
I have a WRT54 running the original linksys software. I know you guys will say to push DDWRT onto it. In any case, how can i tell if my router's been compromised? It has been flakey lately but I figured that was just signal interference.
I think you are assuming that the cost of watching is too high for them to do it at scale. It's all software based, and CPU time is cheap and getting cheaper. Watching everyone is possible, if not today, then in the near future.
In the US, certain states such as Texas and Georgia offer free University education, and I believe there are other states that do similar. California?
These are socialist governments by any means. They just realize the practical benefits from doing this. I know people who sent their kids to live with relatives in Georgia their last year of HS so they could go on to University for free.
I'd argue that starting salaries are high enough, typically $50K to $70K in the USA followed by almost a complete fall off in wage increases with experience/age/responsibility...which is where all the grumbling is coming from.

it does increase immersion...which makes different demands on our cognition than pac man or super mario.
Sounds like you went to a more expensive school. Tuition was $3,500 a year. About $1,800 a semester. It is a top notch state university.
No. No limits beyond academic qualification (i.e. merit).
I graduated in 2000. College was $3,500/yr full time (although it was free for me via scholarship)
Now it's around $13,000/yr.
WTF.

Um, to graduate? To make money?
Going to college for free doesn't mean someone is going to pay all of your living expenses. It's still a net negative to draw it out.

and to destroy them.
Whoa, WTF. Just checked it out after seeing all the FUCK SLASHDOT posts.
I've been on Slashdot since the 90's and the BETA kills the community features.
Slashdot is not a news site. It's a community discussion site. Discussion is almost impossible in the gimped BETA.
Any laptop that HAS top plastic is ultra shitty shit.
it's only a matter of time before they're used...needed or not.
I would say so. Assuming you're trying to optimize for public safety.
It will be BYOSE, bring your own sound effects
oops, mean "not socialist"

Great analysis. Someone should hire you for that.
Businesses get lots of applicants, but most of them are fundamentally unhirable, because they’re morons.
Lol. Not under trained or ill prepared, but morons. love it.
Harsh...GTFO unless you have a side job? How do all those slackers that don't graduate on time manage?
Is there also a CEO shortage?
Yes! I hear they're rationing them now, only one per a company.

will the south koreans now see lines of north koreans on their borders dancing in front of the kinect sensors?
