"The situation is unprecedented, so unprecedented extreme measures need to be taken" is a standard ploy for those seeking to exercise extreme state power.
Don't be so petty. The fourth amendment is so that investigations can't devolve into general-purpose evidence gathering sessions. It's to guarantee our privacy. Nice try, though, in your try to characterize the issue as law enforcement 'just being pesky.'
The sad part is where our resources have gone every time in the last century that somebody decided they had 'figured it out' and knew how to direct everyone else's resources.
Just as it is dubious to claim that mankind is all-powerful enough to completely destroy the earth, it's dubious to act like any human agency is capable of directing the 'whole show' to fix things.
Hundreds of millions of people died in the 20th century because of zealous 'leaders' who had the plan all figured out and achieved enough power to 'implement' their plans.
You are correct, that Minecraft is the perfect escape from building robots and programs. I cannot count the number of hours I have spent fighting mobs when I could have been coding something.
My choice, and I make it freely. But I don't sugar coat it.
Cyanogenmod is available for the Galaxy Tab, too. I obviously picked a Samsung tablet and not some obscure cheaper unit because it has a larger community, including hobbyists, etc.
There just doesn't seem like any reason for Google to exclude an SD card that isn't about control over their users. And it doesn't matter what good intentions Google may have had half a decade ago. Any entity that becomes big has the suits climb aboard, etc. In most ways, Google isn't any better than Samsung, and in a way, with the Samsung vs. Apple thing, 'backing' Samsung financially may drive openness more than giving money to Google.
I know I need more than the default because my 32G external card is nearly always full. And there's the added convenience that I can carry multiple cards and plug them in, i.e. nearly infinite capacity. It's patently obvious that Google specifically excluded an SD slot because of how they want to 'shape' the way people use Android Tablets. They make the bulk of their money by eavesdropping.

What about the expanded power grid to handle the level of energy that will be consumed when it scales up to equivalent energy usage with what is now used for gasoline? The expanded electricity generating capacity needed when every household is consuming whatever multiple greater of electricity per day than they are at present? It's probably a multiplier greater than one. The local connector to transfer the stored energy to a car is a trivial part of the equation.
A problem is the fact that the only alternative that some posit is a 'take more classes, and then even more' scenario, where the only possible outcome is to apply for grad school to take yet more classes. When the subject of study doesn't lead to an endpoint where the student can gainfully leave the campus eventually, it instead leads to masses of students scrabbling to be the among choice few who get to keep on studying indefinitely. Scholasticism can't be it's own end indefinitely for every student.

Probably they tried to type 'coherent' but a spell-checker misfired without them noticing in time. With auto-spellcheck it happens all the time if you don't carefully review before clicking 'submit.'

There is no need to 'outlaw' anything. Simply end what makes it a govt. monopoly, by passing Right To Work laws.

The dilemma, though, is that said 'alternative educational situations' become more and more expensive. Ending in the even more expensive endpoint of a prison.

Cuban education (at least, if you're Cuban) is only free as in beer.

Also, malevonent glass users can easily remove the light with a little dab of paint.
Steel-ankle boots? Even steel-toe shoes wouldn't help.
What a horrible metaphor. One foot in a revolving door generally gets chopped off, or at least results in a broken ankle.
Just the chicken farmers. The cattle and pig farmers are okay with owls.
And don't chicken farmers keep their chickens confined to little .5 cubic meter cages these days?

intellectual president? really? you think choom is an intellectual?
in favor of millions of people dying
Are you that much of a moron that you think what political position you support is going to prevent you from dying?
EVERYBODY gets to die.
But "Little House on the Prairie" almost sounds like something the bronies would go for. So let's just keep quiet about it.
It would be interesting to see whether animals would also kill each other to get another load of some drug after you get them addicted.
With a spare arena, and some guns, or simply knives and axes, experimentation on this matter could even help solve 'the meth problem.'
Until Apple sued them all out of business.
Near as I can tell, the people chiming in about Minecraft servers didn't go to MIT.

I mean 'not free as in freedom' actually.
