They weren't worried about the fact that HDTV wasn't ready to fit into an existing medium but they made it anyway. If there's no reason to push the envelope, innovation stagnates. You can't worry about the limitations of now.
I agree--and so does Jamie. When he was first contacted about making the show, he suggested Adam (who worked for him in the past) because Jamie knew that his own personality wouldn't be enough for a successful show.
If you'd be pissed off that someone forced your employer to keep your work hours down to 40 per week even though you're not getting paid overtime, you have a crossed wire somewhere. If your job wouldn't get done in 40 hours, they should reduce your responsibilities, allow you to delegate them to someone else, or pay you overtime. Obviously it usually doesn't work that way but that's because employers seem to believe that it's OK to infringe upon the personal lives of their employees for their own benefit.
...the students who never went to class, or didn't listen when they were in class, had a much harder time in school than those who went to class and paid attention.
I don't really understand your point. If a great deal of what you're supposed to be learning comes from the lecture, I would imagine that someone that didn't listen to that lecture wouldn't do well. You're also talking about students that weren't motivated enough to attend, or pay attention to, the lectures. Between missing something important and being unmotivated, it's no wonder that they didn't do well. Would you expect someone that's taking an online class to do well if he or she doesn't read the lectures and is unmotivated to do the assignments?
I went to brick and mortar schools--just online. The format works a lot better for me because it doesn't matter if the professor is boring as all hell. I'm not wasting time sitting through lectures and since it takes more independent learning, I know the material better. If they're properly accredited (i.e. not by Joe's Accreditation Board), what's the problem?
I don't even think that it's as specific as disallowing a camera in your own shower or something. Since the law prohibits the "unauthorized installation or use of cameras in private places," I think it means that you can't install a hidden camera in your neighbor's shower or hang around outside filming through the bathroom window.
As a salesman for a particular manufacturer, "I don't know" might not be acceptable. However in retail at $7/hr, nobody expects you to know everything. "I don't know" is a bit annoying. "I don't know but I'll try to find out" (and then actually trying) would be better.
Stream the data to tape. You can quickly and easily melt the entire tape in a small enclosure designed for that purpose. Melting the entire tape cartridge sufficiently might be possible but you could end up with a charred chunk with layers that are still readable. The device should run the length of the tape into the melting chamber (a slice at a time). It could even degauss the tape as an added measure. Of course, the fumes are a negative but something like that would probably be more affordable and probably wouldn't weight 125lbs.
Actually, you are bashing Linux by saying that you would need to go to your mom's house "once every 15 minutes to try to explain how to do something simple with her system".

Is that a take on George Carlin's "being stupid should be fatal"?

VLA, retail, and OEM media are different. Using a VLA key on an installation done with retail media won't work.
If I leave my front door open, I'm not implying that you may enter without my permission.

These simple steps will save you time and money, speed your computing experience, and, above all, avoid the vulnerability.
Considering that OEMs don't bundle the corporate versions of Symantec software (unless you specifically choose it), it does absolutely nothing.
The school is preparing the students to make the America of Tomorrow that we fear will happen.
