If modems are made illegal, could ssh be made so, too? Basically this is a case where a person who has discretionary authority to act in a responsible manner to complete his job duties, granted to him by his position, being charged with not relinquishing that authority when he was terminated on grounds that had nothing to do with the performance -or lack thereof- of his job.

If that had happened, we wouldn't be talking about the failure of both the prosecutor or the court to understand complex technical issues for which they have no understanding.
If Apple counters, it will be with a cuter, younger, "widdle girl" who will code an insanely great iPhone application in fifteen minutes, post it on the app store, then proceed to make enough money in an hour from sales of her app to pay for her college tuition and pay off her parent's mortgage at the same time.

Without it, you are wasting your money. Unless you can train your staff to integrate technology into their curriculum on a daily basis it simply won't be used. You will have the hardest time convincing the more 'experienced' members of your staff to use technology effectively -instead of just as an 'electronic babysitter'- and to get them to breakaway from their old methods of lesson delivery. Using technology to teach requires a lot more preparation then just running off a few dozen problems on the copy machine for the day's lessons. There will be those that will resist; how will you deal with them?
If you knew anything about the BiPO4 process that was used to produce the Pu239 at Hanford in the 1940's, you would be more concerned about the potential for a real problem had that bottle broken open and scattered the LaF3 -which is one of the 'carriers' for the Pu239 in this process and a fine powder- which would have "explode[d] into a fine powder, raining down 'all over the landscape'." The huge amounts of radioactive chemical waste that was generated by this process is one of the reasons why Hanford is the 'dirtiest' nuclear waste site in the world.
The picture of the safe, the one with the purest Pu239 ever manufactured -99.96% purity- sitting in the 50 year old bottle of LaF3, the safe with its back ripped open by the idiot running the backhoe, yeah that one. What do you think this article would have been titled if that dumbass had broken that bottle and scattered that Pu239 all over the landscape? It's just dumb luck that it became a 'historical' find and didn't become a nuclear disaster.
Professor Brown explained that Einstein simply 'skipped' over that minute and arrived in the same place at a different time. The DeLorean -and hence Einstein- still had their combined velocities of the reference plane (place) that it had when it did the 'timeskip'; that's why it was still going eighty-eight MPH when it reappeared one minute later. If the combined velocities of the 'time traveler' or the 'place' do not change during his trip, then he simply arrives in the same 'place' just at a different time. However, if the 'place' from which he leaves encounters a sudden change of velocity at the exact moment of departure, then he could return in a very different 'place' upon arrival.

Most poorly written educational software is for Windows.
There. All Better.
From years of experience; the most any, average, K-12 student needs from a software standpoint is, a web-browser, a word-processor, and maybe some presentation software. Everything else that is purchased by schools, unless it is for a specialized curriculum/class, is a waste of money. Why? Because unless it is integrated into the curriculum -meaning that it is a tool that must be used to complete course assignments- it is simply employed as a way to keep students busy doing something.
Why education still buys Windows is by-and-large driven by the fact that commodity x86 hardware is sold by major vendors with Windows pre-installed. Most schools that desire technology are interested in getting the most for your tax dollar as they can that still has a familiar 'feel' to it for the adults. The kids; they don't care, as many of them have been exposed to a greater variety of OS/machine combos then the average teacher has, and they are sufficiently adaptable to figure it out for themselves.
Global dimming specifically measures the reduction in the amount of sunlight that reaches the surface of the Earth because of atmospheric aerosols. It has only been measured for fifty or so years and does not take into account the reduction in surface irradiance that has occurred because of natural or man-made causes in the the nearly two hundred years prior to when record keeping started. Aerosol Optical Depth as well as 'plain old' Optical Depth, are measures of the transparency of an optical medium -like the atmosphere- at optical wavelengths and have a greater effect on dim, point-sources, of light -such as stars- than they do on brighter extended sources of light -the Moon and the Sun- since small aerosol particles in the atmosphere have a greater tendency to scatter the light -which reduces the apparent brightness and increases the extinction- of point sources. If the atmosphere was truly 'clean', then the only phenomenon that an observer would have to contend with is 'Rayliegh Scattering'. A short article over at 'Sky and Telescope's" site, ties it all together. The reduction in atmospheric transparency since the Middle Ages due to man-made pollution has, by some estimates, reduced the brightness of the stars in the night sky by as much as twenty-five percent. There was an article published last year -that may have been mentioned here on \.- that discussed this very situation. Unfortunately, it escapes both my memory and that of Google.

Jeez people, get with the program already.
That gives me plenty of time to install the latest BIND distro from source...

No. They are statute.

Sputnik was launched with an ICBM -an R-7 to be exact.
