Ever heard the expression 'locks are there to keep an honest man honest'? Maybe it's the same with 'no guns'-laws for bars?
A depressed and paranoid person with a gun will be more likely to do something after some drinks, than he would if the bouncer said 'no guns, sir' earlier.
That said, I was recently on a longer plane trip, and the security theater really is over the top, sometimes. My backpack was searched several times - and every time it turned out to be the metal frame of my headphones. OK, that seems thorough - but it would not have been a problem for me to bring in a hardened ceramic blade on my thigh...

In case someone takes this at blind faith -- the ~/.adobe folder also contains Acrobat data.
But kill ~/.macromedia, and ~/.adobe/Flash_Player =)
According to my father (who remebers phone prices before 1990 -- I didn't think about them back then), local calls were never free. And remeber that the whole of norway only have 4.5 million people -- so local calls were _very_ local.
From that, we went to a flat price for the whole country. Since there is only one landline network in norway, it doesn't really make sense to differentiate all that much.
Despite all of the rhetoric about big brother and loss of privacy, I'm quite comfortable knowing that unless I'm actively trying to destablize the government, they don't care about what I am up to.
The problem is, who decides what 'actively trying to destabilize' means?
This comment is not interesting unless it's shown that depositing carbon in diamonds from thin air will deposit more carbon than will be produced by creating the nessescary energy.
This can, of course be debated.
Personally, I would like a curriculum like yours. But at the university I attend, the focus is more on design and modeling, with object-oriented coding (a C course is also mandatory). And I can't say that it's all bad.
PS: Currently the OOP is in java. Some years ago it was in Simula =)
- why should the RIAA set the price (and not, say, the market)?
RIAA is one entity in the market. They (on behalf of their members) have a monopoly on licensing replication of certain artworks. This is called copyright.
RIAA's suggestion is bad for many reasons. But saying "let the market sort it out" is just plain stupid, sorry. If you abolish copyright, there will be nothing for the market to sort out. And if you don't, well, the marked created the RIAA.
Actually, I think you chose a really bad example for showing how Java is a bad first language.
For someone reading their first lines of code, I would argue that System.out is more readable than cout, and println("text") is more readable than
Don't get me wrong, I don't think Java is a good university language either. We use java for most compulsory courses at my uni, and I think it's a worse fit now (2nd year data structures) than in the introduction courses. I struggled with creating a hash function with no unsigned value, and a lack of pointers (specifically, you can't do "this = other_obj"). Maybe I'm just too used to C though.
I find that just `cd` (no argument) is overlooked. It changes to your home directory. On scandinavian keyboards, you have to hit the meta key to type ~, so it actually matters =)
Nope, not good enough.

Yes, being a metal guy means that you classify grunting swedes as music (regardless of that swedes gender).
I think you buttume too much about bots -- they can be quite sophisticated.

Well, no.

Well, 9 years ago you could have gone with version 1 of the standard...
You have not mentioned the cost of mining, processing and transporting uranium. Fancy that.

OK, strike automatic rifle, substitute "easy-to-hide handgun".
Noone is scared of the masses of law-abiding citizens. We're scared of how easy it is for a soon-to-be criminal to buy an automatic rifle.
