Not be slightly evil.. I guess google needs some sort of balance..

But who knows what the future will be like, futurama, Idiocracy or maybe end up a frozen dinner for another alien race. I'm going to just stay unfrozen instead of risk it... not that futurama isn't a bad place to live in.

Looking back the only real advantage of school was learning to read, basic maths but not much else other then social interaction. I learned just about everything else much more out of a class enviroment, taking things apart and building things with lego, like a JCB digger, helped more with the profession of fixing laptops and other equipment and leading onto hacking things together like homebrew projectors. I never learned much in school in electronics class other then making a few very basic things.. I would have found the same things at home with a basic breadboard, leds and wires but I guess they would have to be around the house. I think it's a better idea which allows the child to foster creativity rather then ROT learning but the things the child wants to learn have to be accessible, The advantage is the things required in electronics were around to spark interest while at home I wouldn't even see electronic equipment, other then taking apart a few things like the parents VCR, so items need to be accessible to the child. If anything School ruined my interest of mathematics it was only when I later started to look for myself that I found such subjects fun again like reading "The Birth of Numbers" and other books. Having enough support and things to play with at home, for me, makes me wonder if I wasted the time at school getting bored of the same thing all the time when I could have been at home tinkering and reading what I can. The Internet, also slashdot, exposure from an early age made school so boring that I wondered why your forced to go through school and learn by sucking through a straw when you can take knowledge by the fire hose. The only issue I see is degrees you would need school education for grades.. but just how relevant are degrees now days? with information doubling soon at a stupid rate a lot of courses will be outdated by the time they reach print in a university. At least self taught people have the passion and drive to continue learning rather then the learn what you need, get a peice of paper and stop learning approach; they would soon find themselves outdated. I don't know, I think visual learning, tinkering and hands on approaches far outweigh the benefits of rot learning, considering that soon information in your field will be impossible to just "ROT learn" but more knowing how to index and search for things when you need it. Is it me or do self taught people learn more by building maps of the tasks at hand rather then memorise just a set of needless bits of information spoon fed from school.

The only solution I thought of was to have spam traps in place over twitter. If they keep using buzzwords then they can catch the amount of spam and other rubbish that keeps following people. Marketers are OK but the amount of other rubbish is mortifying. Hopefully they already have something like this in place?

Seems like a perfect time to go back, at least with the data from the LRO the chance of a gas eruption blowing up the base camp are much smaller. Lots of different materials can be used from mining the rocks but I did hear that due to how dense areas of the moon are it's feasible to mine the top surface with just a powerful electromagnet. Will search again for references.
