He has 3 physics degrees including a graduate degree from Stanford. He's not an empty suit manager type.

Really?

There is the guys post. What is the fucking context, asshole?

He is not saying he wants to blow up the airport. He is saying he is going to blow up the airport if they don't run their operations in a manner he deems fit.

How are reporters going to be paid? Do you think they will work for free?

He also said he found that approach so distasteful that he only used it a few times, even though it worked.

From my point of view, porn is more honorable, and less harmful. I considered matters, and decided I didn't need to try the approach Feynman mentioned. (Forget who suggested it to him.) I could tell ahead of time that I wouldn't like the results. (A couple of times I slipped into an analogous position by accident, and it was always something that would have been better avoided.)

Please understand, I'm not saying that it is an inherently unethical or immoral approach. If used honestly, it escapes those problems. But it's still something better avoided, because of it's effects on *you*.

That was my experience too. Of course, I identified several causes that made things worse, and which were, at the time, unusual. Moving every 2-3 years while growing up didn't help at all, e.g. Funny thing, that seems to have become more common.

So quite possibly teenagers are now less socially apt than they were. I don't know. But there are many reasons why this might well be so.

That said, it's quite possible that computer games render recovery more difficult. (Recovery? But what better word is there?) This doesn't make them the proximate cause. I'd be more willing to blame parents keeping their children locked in their homes "for safety's sake". Or moving around more. Or loss of neighborhood schools. Or... Please note that each one of these "possible causative factors" has it's own separate reasons for happening. So fixing the problem isn't simple, and fixing the problem would only help the next generation, not the current one.

Did you confuse Jung and Adler? If not, authority figures don't play a major role in Jung's theories. (OTOH, the definitely do in Adler's.)

Or possibly the teacher just has a large class. I really doubt that currently a computer can really replace a teacher, but I can easily believe that they could replace a lecturer, with LOTS of improvement. Computer programs may not be as flexibly interactive as a one-on-one teacher, but they can be a lot more interactive than a lecturer can. If a teacher has to handle a class of 30, some of whom really don't want to be there, then the computer can probably teach those who *do* want to be there better than that teacher can. If the class size is 300, then I'm certain of it. But if the class size is 15 or smaller, then if the computer is better, then the teacher is probably incompetent. Today. This isn't talking about three years from now.

A flat rate package is essentially impossible. OTOH, billing by minutes connected is something that will only work in a monopoly environment. Billing by megabytes downloaded is reasonable in concept, but I have my doubts that it would be fairly implemented.

FWIW, *because* I don't trust the regulators to make things better, I'm opposed to any suggested change. It's not that I don't think that change is needed, it's that I don't trust the monopolies and their "regulators".

P.S.: This is independent of which party gets in. They *both* are savagely anti-citizen, in many different ways. And this is one of the ways in which they appear to be equally bad.

Just use LXDE or XFCE with Arch or something, mang.
