If this was a million dollar heist or a premeditated murder case, I'd have agreed with you but considering that the case was some robbery in a public housing and the accused was a teenager, it seem extremely likely that he'd actually gone through all that trouble to setup all of that just to update his facebook (and the arguably remote chance that it was admitted as evidence).
Maybe OP is asking the wrong question, how about asking your instructor to print/scan the note for all the students? After all, students are the 'consumers' in class, especially given the relatively high cost of University education this should have been a given (assuming that it is in a country that wasn't free).
What about the brain drain in Canada due to the USA?
Or look at it from another perspective, you can argue that the US was a brain drain on China and India (and the largest resource drain on the rest of the world)!
You want a sci-fi fiction that actually is science dependent, look at novels by Phillip K. Dick, or check out the anime series Ghost in the Shell SAC. They depict plots where technology plays a much larger role in the story and fundamentally affects how people think and behave, to the point where they start to question their own humanity because of infusion of technology.
People associate glory with things like winning a battle (in the old days) or winning a champion (nowadays).
People DON'T associate glory with things like having 2 routers able to ping each other or displaying some graphics on a computer screen.
It is obviously a personal choice, but the fact that you are asking here means you haven't really make up your mind. Personally, at the age of 39 (currently I'm 29) I'd be seriously looking at management. Not necessarily because you love it or for the money, but for the simple fact that staying on top of technology requires A LOT of time on self-study. As you get older, you have other priorities assuming that you are married with children (if not I suppose all bets are off, do whatever you wish:) ). But yea you have to keep in mind with ageism also. At the end of the day though, if you hate management or simply can't do it, don't force yourself doing something you hate (you don't have to LOVE your job, just don't hate it!).
Most people play online on bnet. The only issue I can see is how will they host those Starcraft tournament in Korea, will they have to login to bnet also?
Stop pretending that online voting will not become the norm in the very near future. The fact that some previous implemented systems are inaccurate and insecure doesn't mean that ALL future systems are. I have yet to see a satisfactory e-voting system where they incorporating existing security technologies like encryption for eavesdropping, digital certificate/signature for identification, OTP like RSA for authentication. Combined all these security measure would be a good starting point, in the future potential technologies like quantum cryptography may even offer much higher security.
And if you somehow think paper trail is somewhat more secure, you are just delusional. Unfortunately, the current implementation of the internet is just not very secure. So ultimately, it is all about how secure the process and implementation are, and not whether the medium is on a piece of paper or through the internet.
You better have a damn good GPA, otherwise you have neither the social network nor the academic marks. From my own observation, often high intelligence individuals who are extremely focus on their works exhibit lack of interest in social matter, they prioritize it to be lower than their work.
I knew one of my physics classmates, who were the Gold Medal winner (top graduating students for academic achievement: highest mark in the entire University) doesn't have Facebook so obviously taking the sample size of college student who doesn't face a Facebook account would seriously skew the GPA result. Beside I doubt he has much time to spend elsewhere if he really wanted to understand quantum gravity.
Think about it: how many ladies can say that their Valentine's card runs at 14 MHz?"
Clearly this is a trick question. No such girlfriend ever existed in the first place.
Ghost in the Shell is technology feasible?

I thought Ghost in the Shell is technologically feasible given a century or two, and I'm not joking either. The main technological breakthrough needed there is the mass adaptation of BMI (that's brain-machine interface). We have fairly primitive working device on that already.
Now why on earth would people adapt these you ask? Well, the one single reason is if they can delay death or other aging phenomenon. Obviously, the BMI would have to be integrated with the future Internet, but given a century or two it should be doable.
Although as a network specialist, the current state of computer networking is REALLY far from anywhere close to it. I call it around 2150 to be death wrong.
... where X is the closest to rival the power of the US. In the old days, it was always the Russians. Nowadays, it is the Chinese.
Now it could very well be the Chinese, but if it was then they did a sloppy job. Infiltrating a computer network using a virus is probably the worst idea in terms of being low profile. Perhaps a passive network sniffer, a backdoor, some MAC-layer attack or just plain old social engineering or spies are much lower profile.
By the tone of the original article, I call FUD.

How did you get put in charge of such a project when it is obvious that you have no clue on carrying out the tasks?

Bring in the money, then science will become popular again.
$0.01 / email is WAY too much, even with spam filter on. A price range of $0.01 / 100 emails is more realistic and cost friendly.
I always wanted to do some "ghost-hacking" and "stealing someone's eyes" like they did in Ghost in the Shell SAC!

Plain old signature is getting obsolete, they need digital signature for authentication + something like TACACS/RSA for authorization.

This has been around for a few years. Their wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_5's earliest entry is from 2005, as was the earliest event date listed in the company web site http://www.cyberdyne.jp/English/events/index.html.
Perhaps it is the new C.R.A.S.H HQ? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampart_Scandal[/url]
Is there a life-time /. achievement award? Maybe they'd get a CowboyNeal icon or something. =P
that associated the name 'Ponn Farr' with 'Porn Fan'???
I'll believe it when we have a flying car! ... OH WAIT
