Often the only reliable up-to-date documentation is sadly the source code itself.

PHP or Java?

PHP has a number of CMS frameworks built in it.
Java has the JavaEE stack.

First thing I thought after reading the summary was... less money to law enforcement budget == fewer cops. I don't see that as a bad thing.

You example could be an unfortunate result of a technology grant. The school get a nice technology grant and they can't spend it on books even if it would be a better use of the money.

In governments and large corporations buckets of money often come with strings attached limiting the end use. In government, departments will fight for part of the capitol budget or even worse frivolously spend surplus because once the capitol sees a department has surplus it will be reallocated to another department never to be seen again.

The whole economic theory used for balancing government budgets is ridiculous. Spend at a deficit for years because the economic theory says the economy will swing back up and the budget will be in surplus and balance it all out.

That was my first thought as well. I loved playing and being a wiz on MUDs back in the day. Sounds like a good idea.

Really the gatekeepers shouldn't be the ones being sued. The applications in question often are set up to prey on children. Why on earth would you charge $50 or more for a stack of bobbles? In most cases the kid doesn't realize that they are spending real money. They are just pushing buttons to move along in the game. The endless stream of popups with a nearly invisible close button asking if you want to buy a stack of bobbles doesn't help the situation at all.

Hah! That's nothing. My 4 year old daughter purchased $150 of smurf berries in about 5 seconds. The stream of email alert tones sent me flying across the room to see what on earth she was up to.

That should have been your stance from the get go. Law enforcement only has the power that we give them. Make them do their job without taking shortcuts.

Officers swear an oath uphold the law. Ideally, they do that in an honest and moral manner. If you innocently invite an officer into your house but you forgot to wipe up the ganja flakes off your counter and the officer notices they are bound by their oath, depending on local law, to investigate.

If you consent to a search what is the point of requiring a warrant anyway?

Anybody in their right mind would just tell the pigs to fuck off and get a warrant but I digress.

Maybe students will fully understand the ramifications of going deep in to debt to with student loans.

sounds like a shitty job

Try again. Cellulosic ethanol is made from cellulose(corn stalks, wood, etc.). Production of cellulosic ethanol in the US is very low compared to corn and other grains.

Thank you. Nice, lightweight alternative. Only add the features you want to add.

Thanks for all the good years. Keep whippin' the Llama's ass.
