Yes. This is an excellent. I can't wait to see the sociopathy test:

You see a rabbit get hit by a car in the street. You immediately:

1. Check to see if the rabbit is OK.

2. See if the rabbit is owned by a small child and try to comfort them.

3. Free rabbit stew!

4. See if anyone caught it on video and immediately send them DMCA takedown notices.

5. Pull out a gun and shoot the driver of the car.

You're assuming the average person getting multiple degrees is smart when in reality, the average person getting multiple degrees is in the 110-120 range (read it a long time ago, don't have a link). After working in mortgage for many years and watching the agents (who are typically in this range), they fall for every scam and "latest thing" that comes around.

He's too smart!

No $30 console license fee. I got Arkham City and all the Lego titles for $29.99-$34.99 when they were $59.99 on consoles. That's 50% off.

And that difference is the "console license fee". It's around $30.

This was already decided for books in the 1800s. They can say it all they want. Doesn't make it true or legal.

Not true. Most games that are $59.99 on a console are $29.99 to $34.99 on the PC. Which means the consoles are charging $25-$30 per game.

A three-day suspension would have been reasonable, with a warning that any sort of experiment like this must involve the science teacher for safety reasons. Expulsion, arrest and criminal charges are ridiculous.

If you want to see Homer Hickam's story, you can watch the excellent movie October Sky. In the movie, they definitely accidentally blow some stuff up while inventing rockets. And they got in trouble, but they didn't get expelled, jailed and have their lives ruined.

I still think it's more of a "I might have to sue because I have no money to operate." He really doesn't want to do it, but I can see how people can read it as a thinly-veiled threat, especially given his background.

I'm pretty sure they said it was valid in a dozen countries and that Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are international companies...

First, Ballmer throws a chair at Assange but he catches it and stands on it to make sure that he's bigger than everyone in the room. Dotcom then eats Mcafee but immediately has a heart attack because of eating too much salt. Ballmer charges at Assange but his plan of attack is all screwed up and he hits the wall instead. Assange writes about the deaths of all the others on a Wikileaks exclusive.

Nope. Just potential causes of MS symptoms, blurred vision and Alzheimer's...

And this is EXACTLY why I like Kaiser's model. Since they own everything, they want you well at all costs. They want you out of the hospital and not going back.

This, exactly. The US has tons of Canadians coming across the border and paying through the nose for procedures that they can't get in Canada when they get "really sick". While it looks completely different in theory, it's exactly the same in practice.
