And I think it really depends. They have books in Prison I think, and you gets load of opportunity for conversations and friends. You can even buy drugs, and I imagine liquor.
So in some ways you are not that badly off.
Depending on the book selection, I would not mind taking the next 8 years off to catch up on my reading.
better than throwing away 40 for a shity retirement plan that your CEOs sell out from under you, while they buy themselves new 100 foot yachts with their bonuses.
Probably depends on the prison, and how much you dislike/like sodomy. But in my opinion, in general, I would rather go to jail for 5 years, then have a 9-5 boring job for 40 years, earning peanuts besides.
So basically, either we have the most incompetent poisoning of all time. Or they were never meant to harm anyone.
Can you even charge someone for attempting to poison someone, when their chosen methods had no possibility of ever hurting anyone? You would die, for example, if you drank enough ink. But you would not consider a normally printed letter as poisoned, as letters are not designed to be eaten or rubbed on food.
Email is so incredibly useful, but far less useful if you have to change email addresses with every ISP.
I have entered my email in far too many important sites, let alone given it to people/organizations, for me to recover from having a change of address.
Yes, but you would be hard pressed in my opinion to fund more than a few hundred regular websites that contain around or more than 1000 pages. Add in every medium or larger sized forum and it really seems like 1000 is a lot. I think the mode (type of average) website would have something like 10, with a bunch more at the 50 range, and still quite a bit at a few hundred. But I really do not see many websites that have over 1000.
I guess news sites that keep every article they ever published in the last 100 years up would balance the scales with tens of thousands if not more, but I still find it a large number.
So will they being getting legal permission to host all of this copyrighted material. Doesn't all the individual websites won their own content, how does archive.org even get around this? And what about the illegal porn, cracks, hacks, and viruses?
Yes, but if these subcontractors have data that they are responsible for, they legally cannot just say, well I don't really care, hack away. Even if they signed a contract that permitted this for all computers they hooked up to the network.
It is possible that this employee is just not aware they they signed away this right, but this is a hospital with doctors and theoretically with patient data. Which makes it a whole lot different from a regular company that owns outright all data that it holds.
I have worked with Psychiatrists in the past. And worked alongside data that legally could not leave a certain, specific, room; Without opening up the department to whoever wanted to sue them from a group of a few thousand people (let alone the government, who might also of gotten involved). They were just employees of a larger branch of a far bigger company. But that company could not even remotely scan these specific files without breaking the law.
These seems to be a divide in how to interpret this article.
1) A third of the responses seem to conclude that these are friends and any and all attacks are simply a standard IT security test. 2) The other third seem to interpret this article as, these are separate, but connected, companies. Where one is actually trying to hack into some small time competition. 3) Then there's the few others that inexplicable seem to be saying "So What". 4) Hack them back.
The article clearly points out that these are separate companies. Even if these are just security tests it is highly illegal and if they are ever successful even more so (and letting their patient data be compromised opens up the hacked company to legal issues as well). So I really I do understand where #1 is coming from at all. As for #3, these people should not be allowed on/. Since when has it taken an incompetent IT manager to allow hacking to be successful? Any system can be compromised, and not caring about the security of the data that you were hired to protect is insane. As for #4, I hope you are all joking. This is, theoretically, a legal law abiding institution and no IT person should be engaging in illegal activities on the job, using the companies equipment, if he values his job.
The problem is understanding the saving system based on the assembly that you get and creating a scoring and retrieval system. Which is orders of magnitude more work than turning a `if(connected){play;}` into `if(true){play;}`. But even this first one is challenging in assembly.
I really do not think that Sim City is a big enough game to get people to rewrite large sections of its code to get it to work offline. When servers are used to do more then verify a copy of the game it becomes very work intensive to create a crack. And from what I understand some of the game logic is even done in these servers.
There simply is not enough cash for this to ever be an option. It does not matter what laws they enact, when only 2% of all US money is actually backed by physical currency you can never have a vibrant physical cash economy.
Yes, you could be those things, but you could also be a burger flipper, or get any of those jobs without the PHD. It is possible that in some instances at least that a literature degree would help you, but it is far from 100% applicable. In particular I would imagine that having a literary degree would make you unable to be a reviewer or a talent scout. Publishers are not looking for people who a literary professor would find appealing, and a book review site is not looking for the type of essay that a literature professor is used to producing for Shakespeare. I think at the very least that a literary degree would hurt you in your ability to interact with popular fiction.
I do not think that a PHD in literature necessarily makes you author material. I think in many ways they are completely different things.
That is the major problem with some of the degrees you can get in academia, some of them are only good for becoming a teacher of the degree in academia and not much else.
At my university we have AI that continually checks our essays as we write them. It even points out the specific mistakes, gives suggestions to fix them, and allows us to rewrite that section of the essay.
Actually it did fly for people working in the concentration camps. All of germany was not considered war criminals, actually only a very very few people where. And only very very few people in the entire country offered any resistance at all to the genocide.
That is why we conducted studies like the Milgram experiment, that clearly show that the average person will torture someone to death or commit mass genocide if simply asked to by someone with the appearance of authority.

The way people were talking I was expecting bigger. What is that, that explosion looks about the size of a medium sized firecracker.
Specifically, A shift to what we continue to use for the most part today.
Which might of flown if sublabels did not exist. But they do, so "label" is just Googles name for folder.

That unpossible!
Note: Chrome thinks that unpossible is actually a word?
So the average website contains about 1 thousand pages then? That seems like a lot...

Then instead of this article we would get one condemning MS for firing an employee because of a personal tweet.
Ah, well implementing a saving system seems like something that would be doable, but it would put a large delay on any cracks obviously.

So basically they feed the essay into Google spellchecker and count the number of underlined words?
At my university we have AI that continually checks our essays as we write them. It even points out the specific mistakes, gives suggestions to fix them, and allows us to rewrite that section of the essay.
We call this advanced AI MS Word.
Am not surprised in the least.
