There are always people who want to distill an argument down just to end the argument. I always wonder about the ones on Slashdot. In real-life it could be someone who just wants people to stop arguing around them. On forums though, it's more insidious as they had to take the time to read responses and then write one themselves. In this case, I've determined that the GP actually works in American manufacturing. It's plausible and makes the post less difficult to read past.
You jump much too quickly into the other students are negative. The other students matter _more_ because they can have an immensely positive influence. Only peers can challenge us in the best ways.
A hundred years ago did not have many hunter-gatherers around. Now that I've been around several pregnant women, it's clear to me the best pregnancies are had by women who stay in shape during their pregnancy. Roofing wouldn't be a problem as long as the women isn't going through undo strain.
Indoctrination and brainwashing imply that schooling is one-way, which is not true. Home school can deprive other students the privilege of having that child in school. I agree that the social situation in most high schools is highly insulated and meaningless in the real world, overton windows still exist, and your child would most likely move the window in a direction you like.
Any material that is age-restricted like that should not be accessible at public facilities unless they are also age-restricted..
That is where 1st amendment rights are violated. A library should be able to state that they do not have facilities for age-restricted material, which can then be overcome through funding and hard-work. Codifying this however, prevents such from happening, which is where I take offense.
It can, but it doesn't have to become a free speech issue. You must first prove that the first step reliably leads to the wrong step, otherwise you have built a Fallacy of Slippery Slopes.
No where is an inalienable right denied by moving someone elsewhere to watch their material. That this is a tax-funded organization does not change that.
They don't have to pretend. Congress gets to decide what the commerce clause means and only the supreme court gets to tell them otherwise. That bit of logic doesn't even require the 14th amendment.
The comment system deceived my eyes, I thought you had responded to a different post. However, I still disagree with your position. The Chinese underclass is not nearly as desperate for money as you proclaim.
This anon doesn't understand software or engineering. Software is a control system within a control system. The difference between civil and software engineering is that bridges have been built for thousands of years. Engineering methodology can easily be applied to software, and I'm not talking waterfall. High level designs should follow a similar method that traditional engineering does. However, too many programmers don't know how or why such methods should be applied, and too many programmers are titled software engineer. So we are left with poor engineering giving programmers a bad taste in their mouth for engineering. Then we get cowboy coders proclaiming their methodology an agile one because they consider the engineering aspect of agile programming unnecessary.
Zero-tolerance for bribery, fraud, and corruption? Certainly that's not the law. Catch it when you see it is the law. Zero-tolerance implies so much more than that.
Hackers only use the waterfall method. They happen to be the only worker, so it looks iterative. Real iterative innovation requires multiple eyes and close work with another developer/QA.
He's not in for anything of the sort. He recognizes he's a coder, not a software engineer. It shouldn't take him long to find real software engineers and learn from them, which any job worth having has at least 1 such person who is expected to help out the newbies. It's a fact of business these days that even seasoned professionals require time to ramp up on specific tech and structure. And if he's coming in with a Masters in Computer Science, I'd assume he's supposed to be more of a hacker than a software engineer, giving him ample time to develop those skills.
Slashdot Mirror
It's the cop who was wrong to stop the speeders. Not that following what someone else does justifies all actions, but this is definitely one of them.

New studies are disproving the hard separation many try to keep between intelligence and education.

It's all about context, not absurdity.

Blaming FDR is such an easy Red vs Blue mantra that fighting it is an uphill battle. I support it all the way though.
Why anonymous? That was the most insightful post on this topic.
They're wholesome because we can hide our personal prejudices behind states-rights. Or county-rights if it's the state that's offending us.
If you belive that the supreme court is obviously filled with statists, then I have to disagree with your definition for obvious.
Ok, so to be clear, UnknowingFool meant electronic devices, not electronic components. Thus the statement is still true.
I know that slave labor is not ok, but what is this "slave labor" you mentioned?

Yes, you implied that work is scarce in China. Which it is not. Good jobs are scarce. And in China, a Foxconn factory position _is a good job_.
Naw, we're more focused than inventors. But we will make that siege engine the best it can be!

Have people been calling this fictitious person a doctor for 10 years?
