You are correct that I have no children of my own, but I have babysat my aunt's children.

Did these people become registered sex offenders for unwanted sexual contact with another person or just for urinating in public? And is there a reason parents can't just teach their children to stay away from sex offenders' residences rather than just playing indoors all the time?

You're paying for buttons because SAT and ACT demand buttons. It's like the handheld video game market, where the developer pays for buttons by navigating the developer and game approval of Sony (PSP/PS Vita) and Nintendo (DS/3DS) for games in genres that aren't very suitable for a phone's touch screen.

You must be new here.

But seriously, you're right that many Slashdot users have younger relatives in their mid-teens, such as my younger cousin. So we have your anecdote and my anecdote, and the plural of "anecdote" is "data".

Unless the target market ends up not big enough, in which case the product never gets mass-produced or falls out of production because not enough people want it. This happened to 4" tablets priced for use without a cellular data plan (such as the Nokia N810 in North America and the three years of Android prior to Galaxy Player introduction in October 2011), it happened to 3-4" tablets with a gamepad (such as GP2X), and it happened to 10" laptops at the end of last year.

Is it like trying to teach the Bible if you aren't fluent in ancient Hebrew and Koine Greek?

You tell me how much it costs to find a job in a different city and move to that city, and I'll tell you why moving is or is not a problem.

So how should I search for works by whether or not their authors "want to share"?

Despite Wickard v. Filburn being what strict constructionists have called a blatant misinterpretation of the scope of "commerce among the several states" under the U.S. Constitution, it still hasn't annoyed legislators.

In legal systems that have the concept of binding precedent, the Supreme Court can completely misinterpret a statute and make its misinterpretation binding on lower courts.

Clarifying this situation is why laws like the U.S. Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (1998) had to be passed.

I guess from the fact that he published it. Copyright is a state-sponsored way to have a cake (publication) and eat it too (exclusive rights).

How is that possible when the movie studios control the means of getting into national government?

On a 1024x600 pixel netbook display, it'd mean a 6 pixel wide font. Currently, Terminal is using Droid Sans Mono 9, IDLE and gedit are configured with Liberation Mono 8, and Leafpad uses Droid Sans Mono 8.

In practice, 6 pixel wide monospace fonts haven't been painful to me, especially with subpixel antialiasing and the fact that a laptop display sits closer than the arm's length of a desktop PC's external monitor.
