I'm thinking more about the legitimate uses of this tech; real-time 3D data visualization and such. It's crappy to have to load a desktop app to do anything in this department, especially relatively simple stuff. With a ton of intranet apps being developed to run in the browser, why not add this capability?
If it was a water gun, that student was obviously hell-bent on finding any hydrophobic students in the population and terrorizing them mercilessly. Won't someone please think of the children?
You have to hurt the bunny to turn it into an effective writing implement, which may lead to the need to find another bunny to replace the one you just wore out.
Now that I'm really thinking about zero-tolerance idiocy, there was another case of a student who got suspended in DeKalb County, GA a few years back. She created an exhibit on African art for a student fair, which happened to include a 7 inch ceremonial knife mounted to one of her displays.
Hey, if it had been my kid you can bet your ass I would have been calling attorneys the same day. Like I said, this was my friend's daughter, and I found out about the mess about a month after it went down. This happened in Georgia, Cherokee County to be precise. The very same state where I went to high school with guys who had rifles in their gun racks in the school parking lot (different county, though).
Everything got really jacked up near the end of the nineties; all of a sudden, everything that had even been mentioned in any news article related to crime was considered a weapon. What's that? Gang members beat a kid to death with a bicycle chain in downtown Atlanta? Whoah, we gotta outlaw ALL CHAINS right away! That was pretty much the mentality, and still pretty much is. It's really sad.
Yes, the fact that schools are allowed to get away with these policies does indicate failure on the parents' part, but I think it also indicates a systemic problem in our country. This is commonly referred to as "apathy" and "it's someone else's problem," until it happens to them, of course.
This case reminds me of the time a good friend's daughter got suspended from high school for a week. She had a chain on her wallet, which was deemed a weapon. They were actually trying to expel her for a violation of their "zero tolerance" policies, but failed. Unbelievable.
Developers can always design games around players' actual physical usage patterns, even if that means dealing with a bit less real estate pixel-wise. What a crazy idea, designing games to fit real people and real devices.
If you allow ssh access from the wide internet, and you have a weak password for root, you are probably still vulnerable..
This is why disallowing password logins is a good thing, and an even better thing is restricting access to SSH enabled devices by IP via firewall rules.
It's been a long, long time since I ran a system that let just anyone have a "crack" (ha ha) at an SSH login...
Oh my God, that's good stuff. You didn't go far enough, though...
You see, all global data loss incidents are actually perpetrated by a shadowy cabal of operatives loyal to the American President, with the goal of putting honest, hard working I.T. professionals out of work and on welfare. As the welfare state increases, those poor lost souls will be thankful for the support they're receiving from the system, encouraging them to vote for the candidate most likely to support ongoing benefits.
For those that resist, the Obama Operative Group has proven means of persuasion at their disposal.... "What's that? You were using Ext4 on your ex-employer's file server? Tssk, tssk... it'd really be a shame if they found out you were actually hosting a fifteen terabyte mirror of The Pirate Bay in their datacenter..."
And thus, the world is rid of another hard working professional who has just trying to promote open source software in the organization that he was so loyal to.
There is a lot to be said for simplicity of interface and richness of content. That has been the hallmark of most great websites.
I couldn't agree more. All these "hot new technologies" companies are trying to push really just serve to build upon the foundation of what the Web is all about: easily accessible content that you can reliably view with a wide variety of devices (both high and low-powered).
Submitting a DMCA counter notice is a good first step, provided of course you'll willing to fight the good fight if they continue to protest.
Funny thing is, a lot of organizations actually back down upon receiving an intelligently written counter notice. Apparently, even attorneys hesitate to deal with folks who might actually make them look silly.
Not to diminish Colbert's fame or anything, but just about anything trumps Scientology. I've got a broken toaster that I'd rather consult for spiritual advice.

You're right, and the fact that someone signs an NDA sure as heck won't be a valid defense when the law comes knocking with warrants and subpoenas.

Any object in the hands of an angry wife can be dangerous, especially when hurled at one's head.

+5 Funny.
Don't worry, if it passes in Texas your fearless leaders will probably be fighting with Louisiana for who can copy it the fastest.

I'm really hoping to see a large bitch-slap style ruling against the school district. This whole thing is just shameful.
That's a really good point. The Nintendo DS uses one pretty effectively, what about other mobile devices?

Is that before or after you lick its skin?
they would rather commit Hairy Curry also known as Sailor Fuku than eating corn pizza.
I don't even know where to begin on this one...

Limited liability or not, why not just submit the content to Wikileaks? Good luck to any lawyer trying to send them a take-down notice...
Better question: did the fact that you ate it in Japan make it taste different? :)

That's like saying CiCi's Pizza is the best dining experience of all time. It's not really pizza, but it is edible...
To more directly address your question, the article features her picture. Personal preferences may very, but my answer is "yes."
