I'll admit, there's a huge difference between being "too stupid" to compete and being "too I-have-a-family-and-I-need-to-keep-my-work-weeks-to-40-hours" to compete.
Second, you speak of their "rights" but fail to mention their responsibilities. They have responsibilities to their parents and to the community at large. Why do we laden kids with responsibilities and obligations, but no rights?
But of course! That's what Web 2.0 is all about: turning simple applications with a bit of necessary networking into unmanageably complex monstrosities requiring a full data-center and a plugged-up, memory-gobbling web browser to support one measly user and brought to life by the power of Great Cthulhu.
In his defense, the Middle-East in particular is fucking rife with Windoze lusers. Not because anyone particularly likes it, but because each country buys one legal copy and every citizen just pirates off that one. It's one of the few public services offered in the entire region.
For some reason, none of them have caught on that most Linux distros are free-as-in-beer in the first place.
So I don't blame the Egyptian minister for asking if it can run their pirated Windoze.
Hey, Reddit has theme-trolls! On there you can meet: Death, George W. Bush, Paris Hilton, Ayn Rand, Zombie Jesus, the 9/11 truther troll ("WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!1!" makes for major lolz), the sheeple ("I'M AWAKE!"), and numerous others!

Gentoo, or Linux From Scratch. You should use it.
No, seriously. This isn't exactly news. Though I suppose it *is* for nerds, since nerds can never leave well-enough alone regarding religion.
There is only one true goblin: THE GREEN GOBLIN! /me laughs maniacally.

Thank you, thank you. We try our best.

Yeah, how do you explain how far ahead of everyone else the Jews are?
By which you mean, Mr. AC? You have no idea what my life is like.
IOh well, rather than reply to an AC I should be comparing my research job offers for this summer.
And YES, I left high school at 16 to self-study.
Get off Slashdot, Mr. President. This place is for nerds!

Yeah, because school will really stop kids in ghettoes from joining gangs and peddling narcotics for a living.
Not necessarily. Depending on the state, students may require parental permission to drop out of school.
Yeah, because kids not going to school is so fucking horrible we have to place them under near-house arrest.
Fuck all this. Make school optional.
It was a "Planet of the Apes" reference.
You've never been to the Middle East, have you? There's no such thing as a safe suk.
You need guns. Lots of guns.
Even though he baked them a cake shaped like the internet!
OW MY SOUL. My precious, precious soul... Why have you so ruined it?
Pssst... Nyarlathotep and Shub Niggurath are Outer Gods, not Great Old Ones.
You are *so* getting tentacle raped for all eternity when you die. Sorry.
I'm sick of web-applications. Why can't someone just write a damned native program anymore?

Depends. Does your beer suck?
Just don't call a string-theory lab!
