It's got a market cap of $18 Billion and the controlling stake is held by Fox. I don't see that happening.

Airports are private land aren't they. So why [legally] can't they decide who to allow access to (within the bounds of discrimination laws and such of course)?

Turing was sentenced to 1 year in prison. He was give the option to avoid prison by undergoing hormone therapy.

They already do things like game design - eg using Scratch in ICT programs.

>"Some basic training for all in the fundamentals of programming might very well improve the overall attitude to computer use and security." //

Unfortunately computer _use_ and secure _use_ of computers is not really a part of computer science; that's more ICT really and ICT is what's being killed to make way for computer science.

Yes, rather dishonest to categorise Information [Communication] Technology as only secretarial skills. DBAs, video producers, sound technicians, web designers ... all secretarial positions apparently.

I'm all for encouraging programming and consider that an element of programming can be a great boon to most people. However, this is being done at the expense of ICT which is also a great benefit to people. The majority don't need to be concerned with low level programming, algorithm efficiency and such; they probably don't have the nous for it TBH. However, nearly everyone can benefit from being able to produce a spreadsheet or edit a video or put together a simple web page.

AFAICT, and having talked to an ICT teacher about it, it seems there is a dearth of qualified and motivated teachers to teach computer science too.

IMO if more programming was to be introduced to the curriculum it should have come in with some algorithms in mathematics initially, some simple programming mixed in with ICT for the higher achievers. Then let the A-level Computer Science curriculum pick up those who have decided to take those elements further.

>*Cannon were not mentioned in the 2nd Amendment. Rockets were not mentioned and they were around (if relatively ineffective) when it was drafted as well. That would mean a rocket launcher would not be considered a firearm.* //

Which specific arms were mentioned, not semi-auto pistols surely.

It's called contributory [copyright] infringement.

IME formula fed babies diapers are stinkier. When they hit solids though, man-oh-man, took 2 weeks before I decided we had to start potty training! (It worked to some extent too).

Preach it brother.

>"If you seriously think that Fathers have less of a bond with their children than mothers [...]"

Working for ourselves, breast-feeding aside, we've been able to arrange equal shares of parenting and income supporting work for the two of us. I go ga-ga over little babies too.

I would strongly agree that "Fathers generally have less of a bond with their _babies_ than mothers".

Having never felt a child grow and form inside me and not having the provision to directly feed a child from my bosom that seems quite normal.

>"She isn't even taking care of the child for the most part during her 'recovery' period, its only after that when she starts doing her job."

Apart from often hourly, and often initially painful, breastfeeding and very regular nappy (aka diaper) changing.

I'd agree with your assertion that for an entirely uncomplicated labour a 1 week recovery would be sufficient for someone seeking to return to a sedentary job. But that's only if the woman can't feed her child and isn't responsible for their ongoing care. As it happens though a child requires their mother to be close at hand for the first 5-6 months as they're the direct providers of their food - initial maternal bonding is to a large extent about ensuring proper nourishment for the child and this initial period has very real health and well-being repercussions.

AFAIK elective c-sections are consider less demanding on the mother than regular birth.

You don't need to dig them out, you can just use a magnet.
