Oh no, it's the Pocket President program in real life!

Not until they stop paying children of postal employees $10-$12 per hour to "work" at "summer internships". The pay has probably gone up, too. I had an internship in 1997, and until a few years ago it was the highest paying job I'd ever had.

There's actually a list of countries, organizations, and individuals that a company that does business with the US federal government must agree not to provide products or services to. Iran is on the list.

If you're a girl geek, the gender ratio is dramatically in your favor, and you're guaranteed not to stay single for long. My male friends often ask me for advice on dating/relationships on the mistaken assumption that girls instinctively understand that stuff. I've made similar suggestions to wonkavader: find a social hobby/activity where the gender ratio is in your favor (dance is a good one) and get to know people. The only thing is, women generally still expect the guy to make the first move, so if you're really shy, that could be a problem.

I would argue that it's also possible that a preference for staying indoors is correlated with undiagnosed asthma. Especially when the weather is hot and humid, it can be very unpleasant for a child with asthma to play outside. Kids would very likely prefer to stay inside their climate-controlled house, where they're more comfortable.

Finland generally does have strong privacy laws, and even this law gives employers very limited rights compared to, for example, employers in the USA. The law would allow employers to log who users are sending mail to and who they are receiving it from in cases where they suspect an employee is leaking company-proprietary information. Afaik, the actual contents of the message are off limits. There has been plenty of public controversy over this, so I am still hopeful that the Finnish people value their privacy and are willing to stand up for it.
