"For gods sake, everyone who love's Socialism go to China and live there for the rest of your life! PLEASE!!!"
Well, at least you didn't say Russia. A statment similar to yours says that you don't know much about socialism.
"From Cambodia to the Chinese & Soviets - we should have learned that central planning, state ownership and control all lead to the same concentration of power into the hands of a few that in tern persecutes and enslaves the masses."
Read up much more on socialism, you will then know what is wrong with that statment.
Do two things:
1)Teach people that socialism is not bad
2)Make education a right, not a privilege
College/Post Secondary should be free in the US, for a number of reasons.
The math class that I was in this year was sad. It was the advanced math class, yet I was held back by the slower students. I did not need the THREE WEEKS of review that the class did on basic trig.
Last year, I was home one day browsing our schools webpage, and found that all but the top most directory on the web server was unprotected (you could see the directory listing). I was also lookinng for index.html on there top most directory, just looking for another way to see the main page, when I put in index.html in, I got a page containing a message from a 1337 h4xx0r group! I check the main page the normal way, and it is normal still.
Later, when I went to my schools webpage, I forgot the www part, and got access to the mail server's web interface. There was a whole lot you could do without being logged in, like seeing the name and email address of everyone there, even a few weird ones. (later, I would use this when I was sick to get the correct email address for one of my teachers, because the page where you would normally get it was incorrect) I saw the login part of the page, and just wanted to try it ONCE. I type in "web_master" as the username (because it was on the email list, and I try the password for our student account at school, (ever kid needs to know it to use the computers in class, etc.) and it works! The first thing I do is I quickly logged out.
I decide the right thing to do is tell a teacher about these obvious problems. BAM! The next thing I know is I am being questioned by the police officer at school. I am telling him about the the issues with the web server mostly. (he doesn't really care about the email thing) Next thing I know after I tell them about the hacker thing, he is telling me about how they know about people messing with the server, and he starts to accuse me of it (keep in mind, I had no write access, couldn't ftp it, or even get a directory listing of that directory). After lots of explaining I was let off the hook. (came close to deep sh*t)
But no, it just isn't done. A week later, I was called in again, this time for getting access to a teachers computer (I never did, the email thing wouldn't work because there name is too long, and I never tried to) The teacher was informed of a possible password breach, given my name and another students name who he didn't have in his class (I found out who person 2 was many months later) and he choose me, because I was in his class. This time, I am still trying to recover from the last experence, and this time I have no connection what so ever. I have to explain and explain and explain, etc. They keep saying that person 2 was saying that they were in it with me. I was like what the fu*k?!? I got off, but I nearly got into deep sh*t again.
Nearly done, I was much less curious at school after that, but I still found even more problems on the schools website. I also connected to my computer at home from school, showing a page that was modified to my advantage, and I got into Terminal in the schools computer, so I had some slight fun with man and ls. Only a few students found out, and they never told a teacher, though I got some requests to change grades, and I told them that I couldn't and so on. This time I used the leason I learned.
Leason:Don't tell anyone at school (expecially teachers) about any flaws you see, you will regret it, because they will take it the wrong way.
In retrospect, I am see how lucky I was.
Next year I will have a web design class that involves computer use, lets see how my free time will go.... I carry a knoppix disc around with me at school just in case.
CDs are cheaper for me than $1 a song. For $14 total online I was able to buy a great CD with 27 songs (and many of them are good) The really good thing is that it is from a independent label.
A 6th grader shouldn't need to know how to do the basics by hand.
If the calculator has a gcd function, then the not having a >Frac function is only a minor inconvience.
I liked my TI-89 Titanium in Algebra II (which I just finished). It helped to speed up slow functions for purposes(for checking your work, or for fun), but you still have to show your work, so taking away the calculator is pointless.
The kids need to know what a function does before they can use it.
Having a over-powered calculator can be good for you. It helped explore all the great fun in the Discrete Fourier Transform.

Reminds me of the pbs channels here in america. You donate money to the channel to keep the good programming funded. No commercials. Alot of it is educational, which causes most people to not watch it (that is wrong).
I believe all (if not, then most) of the content aired on the channel is made for pbs, by pbs, etc. So, it might be legal for them to offer the shows as a bittorrent download.
With the way that America is today, anything like this would end up as a flop. We like things cheap and fast, and this would makes things expensive and slow....
I see no way that this would help our 'security'. I think the last thing we need is our goverment to spend time and resources comming up with this, when they could be doing something more useful.

The blondes, there IQ is so low it can bring down the females' average IQ.
First comes the wireless driver and the TCP/IP stack, but the good thing is that there is a over $1100 bounty on it.
I smell errors.

I don't know if I would consider china a communist country...
I am waiting for capitalism to move....
I am sure someone will broadcast a analog signal for us ;)

1)Convince Gates that these laws are bad for Microsoft
2)Gates bribes these laws away
3)The people are happy

Why did this remind me of The Matrix?
I see that stuff alot in police departments, now I know why!

With Linux, you're automatically at a disadvantage - it's hard to NOT screw things up.
I disagree. With Windows it is easy to screw things up. With Linux, not so.
Sure, you can screw it up if you have the root password, but why would you give the root password to a child!?! You can do so much as a normal user.
I think if you had the admin password for a mac, you could screw thing up easily too...
