Sure, just take the labels off the behaviors you judge as such. These are all words with negative connotations.
Because they come with heavily negative consequences, especially when acted upon by a child who doesn't know when (or why) to stop. If these behaviors were good and wholesome, they would be given hallowed status for adults in most societies.
I know you're asking about Linux, but booting Windows into a kiosk mode makes it boot faaast.
Just alter
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell=pathtofirefox.exe
and whatever auto-logon guest type account for that shell.
Downsides: you won't be using it for anything else.
Upside: Two minutes of (reversible) changes, so least amount of work.
A two year old is not selfish. This is a projection happening because we adults do not properly understand the psychology of the undeveloped human brain. Some skills develop before others, and that's predetermined by nature, not the child's choice. At the age of two the sense of "self" starts emerging. The child starts feeling their own will. Lots of experimentation, discovery of the world. Strong feelings and desires unmanageable for the child. A 2-year old does not have control over these and it will be years before it learns to self-regulate.
What you're saying is: "You weren't hit by the boulder rolling down the hill. It had no choice in the matter, so it didn't 'hit' you."
Just because children have no choice but to act selfishly does not mean they are not selfish; it instead means that their core _is_ selfishness.
The right to privacy, the right to eat when and however much you want, the right to sleep when you are sleepy and use the bathroom when you are ready, are taken away from you when you are a child.
Can I live in your world, where children aren't naturally narcissistic, messy, gluttonous, and willful creatures?
If you're a fan of evolutionary theory, homo sapiens sapiens stems from a hunter-gatherer small-tribe society, and we only recently banded together into unnatural large groups where we have to learn to work with others doing very specialized tasks (instead of everyone hunts/gathers/fights).
If you're a fan of Judeo-Christian creationism, homo sapiens sapiens was created as a hunter-gatherer-farmer small-tribe society, and we semi-recently banded together into unnatural large groups where we have to learn to work with others doing very specialized tasks (instead of everyone hunts/gathers/farms/fights).
Point being, Pippi-Longstocking is a fictional story about childhood freedom. It's not real. Children would die if we let them do whatever the *#$^ they want (although from an evolutionary standpoint, homo sapiens sapiens might develop an instinctual aversion to drinking from plastic bottles with caustic chemicals after 40,000 years. Oh, wait, society would have crumbled due to the I AM generation [being the next logical step after the Me-generation] so there wouldn't be plastic bottles).
I don't care if her training bra was padded out to Dollyhood proportions with bags of cocaine. Teachers should have sat her down, and watched her closely until the police arrived to arrest her (and strip search her -with her parents present- if they could get a warrant from a judge).
Drugs are not deadly weapons. The administration had nothing to fear letting her continue to "hide" the (imaginary) drugs as long as they watched to make sure she didn't throw them away or eat them.
If the schools are not a governmental authority, then this wasn't a search so the 4th would be irrelevant: it was criminal confinement and molestation, because "search" does not apply.
Now, now. No need to threaten violence. Just post wanted-ish posters with "Pedophile?" in the caption around their neighborhood... every time they move. Eventually they'll off themselves.
Some teachers are good people. Some teachers are also perverts with weird fetishes (five of whom I can name from my old HS and/or adulthood; and I'm not talking about mere rumor). The worst of these chose teaching to get close to a certain age of kids.
Every good teacher I know does things in a mega-CYA way. There's no way they would have strip-searched a minor; that is left for police if it's a legal matter. My guess is the female teachers know each other "real well" outside of school, and that their CYA-mode was turned off because they were turned on by the power trip.
Technically you're not suppose to resell most software, period. Consider an online game like World of Warcraft. You can't resell it legally, the new "owner" would need to purchase their own key for online play even if you gave them your box + disc.
When you buy software you're buying a license to use it, that's it. It's not a physical product that you can use however you want. I'm not saying this is a good thing, it's just the way it is.
Bullshit. I'm not even going to use punctuation characters to mask that (when I usually do). Bullshit.
If I buy a box copy, never accept the EULA, you're saying I can't resell it?
If a store owner buys copies from EA/Valve/Whatever, you're saying they can't resell them?
Bullshit.
I do NOT, however, pay for bottled water at the movie theater. Preposterous!
I'm sorry sir, we only allow stillsuits during opening night for Dune re-showings. I'm going to have to ask you to relieve yourself now and open the release valve here in the lobby.
The servers are backed up. The workstations, where all the real data is, is ignored.
The places I've seen with extreme lock-down don't allow writes to the local disk. User directories are mounted remotely. If the network's down, they can't even log in (no local cache). It makes workstations very hot-swappable. Of course, people using VMs or other large-IO stuff got special dispensation to use the local disk, along with stern warnings about making their own backups. Collectively, there was a lot of wasted HDD space, but low-rung IT didn't need any skills beyond "ghost machine; replace machine; request Dell technician; babysit Dell technician". But they still required a BS or BA for low-rung, which made for a lot of bored IT kids & hijinks.
This is/was false. Years ago, two minimum wage jobs I had both gave me MMPI tests before hiring. Neither was dealing with national secrets, but one did require high levels of trust in me (in my position, shoplifting would have been easy). Not having done minimum wage since then, I don't know if they still use it.
Not necessarily. Back in the day people had no idea how beer was made (and it wasn't always directly repeatable) but somehow the fermenting process started and beer was formed. Only later did scientists realize it was free flying yeast that got into the vats of mash that were out in the open.
Free flying? Ever notice that most of the beer and bread makers of old were women?
50k potential addresses, some of which are quite possibly already in use for legitimate sites? Or simply registered under false pretenses? Any one of which could potentially have been r00ted already? Until zero-hour, there's no way to know... so we've got 50k potential command and control servers that need to be either intercepted, blocked, or checked for infection if we're actually planning some form of action 'beforehand'. This is a non-trivial enterprise.
Also note these are domain names. Even if all 50k are checked and clean prior to 2009-04-01, a little DNS poisoning near an infected machine and legit URLs are now control servers.
Couple that with the fact that the more 'pious' people that I've met are generally the worst Christians. They're judgmental, opinionated, closed-minded, bigoted, and full of hate. The most laid-back Christians I know are more liberal and open-minded, and follow the teachings of Christ a lot better.
Perhaps when faced with their impending death, some of them realize just how much of assholes they've been, and how badly that's going to look come judgement.
The truly pious (your second group) are more familiar with the concept of forgiveness, and thus believe in their own salvation. The rare(?) judgmental hate mongers within a church tend to intellectually understand that they are forgiven in a cold academic way, but may not really believe it.
Speaking of proprietary cables, it's time Apple take a clue from the rest of the cell phone industry and switch to a micro-USB connector on the phone. Last time I said that in this forum, someone replied that Apple has been providing USB support for some time, which just goes to show how misunderstood this issue is. All three of our phones, and the company phone when I have to carry it, will charge from the same charger despite being different manufacturers. The ipod touch needs that proprietary stylish white charger with the stylish white proprietary connector. Where the hell has that thing gone now... Apple, please hear this. Proprietary data connectors are so last century.
I can connect to any standard USB charger. And of course connect to any number of useful external peripherals that make use of the base connector you dislike. It's a cable you have to carry either way.
No, it's two cables he has to carry versus one cable. The iphone cable may be USB on one side, but it's proprietary on the other.

With this built-in GPS, would chimp-mounted lasers be more accurate than shark-mounted ones?
Yes, but the chimps tend to drown when you throw them in the water. Something about their density and not having gills.
Maybe they happen to like traveling in straight lines, and researchers are assuming that "point B" was the intended destination.
