It is currently against the law for the government to pay for abortions. The money given to planned parenthood is for women's health initiatives, such as preventing women from getting cervical cancer from HPV. I would, in fact, support free abortions. I'd rather have someone irresponsible abort a kid that they can't afford to take care of instead of being robbed by that kid or having taxpayers pay tens of thousands of dollars per year for his prison time.
The problem is that we're all connected and unless you want to be responsible for providing your own roads, drinking water, electricity and defending your compound that is unsafe to leave, we need at least some level of government and socialization. Medical care in that world seems kind of pointless, as you would have no great methods of contacting a provider (no eminent domain to build a network of telephone wires, radio waves would be useless without a central body to set up channels), and they might not be able to reach you quickly through a patchwork of private roads. And you'd better hope you have something worth bartering for care without a nanny state to set up and maintain a common currency. But at least there would be no government to steal your money for taxes or control your actions...just robbers, pirates, criminals.
I'm not saying the government should encourage people to be lazy by any means, just that there are indirect benefits to providing some services.
Those gen ed classes don't go nearly far enough. Many programmers have terrible grammar, limiting their ability to work on anything public facing without supervision.
The test will also produce non-false positives in people that wouldn't have otherwise taken the test. It may also make it more affordable for people to increase their testing frequency for behaviors they were going to engage in anyways.
They might have a lower overall cost. Although since they're purely a thin client and not just web terminals, you might still need a bunch of far more expensive server hardware to support them.
Insteon works alright until one of the devices fails (which happens quite often). Then you have to factory reset everything in the system in order to get it to perform well again. Plus, they included X10 support in insteon devices which can't be disabled. The X10 support causes your devices to switch on and off at random depending on its hardcoded address and the electrical noise.
The next thing you know, the government will be totally involved in your private lives, such as making decisions about who you can marry and restricting your ability to make decisions about your own body.
The command line tools needed for ports/fink/etc can be installed without all of the rest of the stuff. So now instead of your 4-8GB download, you only need a 170MB download.
Basing such a system on so many systems with single points of failure which aren't designed to be fault tolerant seems kind of insane. There's a reason why your ECU isn't running on top of Windows.
IIRC, anything with mass can be accelerated to the speed of light with an infinite amount of energy. Anything without mass has a maximum speed of the speed of light.

So you're suggesting that the supply of education is entirely inelastic?
And this is an easy way for politicians to appear "tough on crime" when they need donations.
FTFY

Are you going to travel to the ER on privately owned dirt roads? Better hope the bridge owner isn't asleep for the night if you need to cross water.
What if you reduced the government back to its size in 1776? Imagine how much money you'd save personally if you didn't buy food!
I have to wonder if any of these cities had real plans for broadband, or if they just cry wolf in order to get access.
Doesn't Dish already pay licensing fees to the networks as well?

How thick is the insulation on your 22AWG wires?
We're all pooling together to rid this world of pure DHMO.
You're not going to get very good light if your filament is at 68 degrees fahrenheit when powered on.

I'm glad you've discovered their anti-psychologist agenda.
The morning after pill is considered an abortion by some. There have been attempts to outlaw it.
Are you suggesting that everyone chooses to get pregnant? Even women who are raped?
We should go back to private roads so this isn't an issue.

If you've got 2^64 IPs to choose from, just switch frequently.

Isn't Gentoo designed to always be bleeding edge and not built for any sort of long term support?
