I might be wrong, but I think Cyc was done "by hand", by people - typing axiom by axiom. This is automatic (except that the 'caretakers' remove blatantly untrue stuff here and there)
See if you can answer any question, or, better yet, see if you can ask any questions that have still not been asked (for example about template programming, which you should learn if you are into C++, btw)
By answering unanswered questions and asking unasked questions, you help the community as a whole.
Probably you mean something different than what you say.
Computers are good at solving mechanical problems, which are exactly the opposite of "logic and how to solve problems". Indeed, the process of "telling a computer how to resolve a problem" is usually a more interesting thing to know than the solution of the problem itself.
You say that computers make it "easier" and that is "what we don't want". You are mixing "hard work" with "boring work". It's not that the children don't know how to multiply, it's just boring has hell.
If you were my teacher and you were trying to make me "learn the difficult way" then I'd do my best to override you. I'd have like 4 different calculators hidden in various places.
Also, think about the doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, firemen, police and morticians who would lose their jobs if the rate of accidents suddenly declined!
Interestingly enough, what cars are begining to have these days are machine overrides. The sleepy human unadvertedly strides out of the road and the car self-adjusts. That kind of thing.
Chances are that 20% of them are infected with some crap. Just use an antivirus on them. Maybe (if it is a free antivirus) copy the antivirus installer on them, so they can bring it home.

Thanks!
And yes, the article not citing the relevant websites just sucks.
Yes. Go to stackoverflow.

This is by far the simplest way of contributing.
Horror! Panic! Aaaaaah!
Yes. Each army rebels and kills all their respective politicians.
Everybody wins.
What country? India? Have you worked with them on developing software?
Linux has a "keep user from doing dumb shit" button. It's called non-root access. And it works.
It's not security by obscurity, it is real security.

I thought she was the victim of Twin Peaks.
Unless the classroom *is* the teacher.
But... they classrooms *are* quite broken. They need fixing.
Maybe you just need to meet more people.
Hitting people, as the upper post recommends, for whatever reason, is violent.
Reality doesn't suddenly change when you give it a nice name.
They are already driving.
At top speed.

I don't like it either.
Whenever I'm on a highway, I can't help but think "This 1 tonne thing moved ten meters while I was blinking".
I choose to live on a big city with good public transports.
If you are talking about 10, or maybe 100 registers, I'm with you.
But we are talking about 100000 records. If you are treating that with Excel, just might as well try to do it by hand.
The trouble here is not the technology.

Stop using supply depots and start using pylons.
Oh, but they'll find another place to secure.
Yeah, Japan is pretty random sometimes.
I mean, the guy that designed this is still alive, isn't he?
