First you have to convince people that what someone does in their professional capacity is more important than what they do in their personal time. Unfortunately "Politician does bang up job, everything is going swell!" doesn't sell as many papers as "Politician caught looking slightly towards school playground while driving past in pervert scandal shock!"
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, mate. You want to interrupt my movie-going experience to tell me you're doing a bang-up job throwing out people who interrupt my movie-going experience?
Approach the guy quietly, remove him from the theater, and say nothing more about it. We will all notice it happen, don't you worry.
Do you spend more than two hours at your desk without eating? Then you can do it in a movie theater. Put the hotdog down, leave the nachos behind the counter, don't go for the jumbo popcorn. Your arteries will thank you in later life.
Saying that, your idea of "Stay home and watch the movie" is appealing to me, but my SO likes "the experience". Shame she doesn't see that "the experience" is sitting in a crowded hall on cheap seats listening to other people masticate during quiet scenes and check the time on their phones when they're bored.
... [A]nyone can [ verify the code], and... someone is likely to have done so.
Yes. The NSA guy who wrote the patch, and three of his astroturfing friends.
The "Many Eyes" fallacy is important here. Unless you can verify the authenticity of the code yourself, you need to verify the authenticity of the person verifying the code. Do you know all of the kernel devs personally? How about the X / Mir / $module devs? How many people actually write code for kernelspace? How many modify it for their particular distribution of choice? Do you trust those people?
Your professor was wrong, or at least only partly right. The "internet" (WWW) as we know it will just shift to darknets or anonymous distributed hosting systems like Tor and Freenet, and the WWW will be exactly how it was meant to be. Just one layer higher on the OSI model.
Nope. They pointed it straight up, meaning all that happened was the desk now has a dent 1x10^-9m deep where the bracket was, and someone on the floor above got a slightly warm bum.
Nobody, not one single person is using Oracle databases in a personal capacity. It is always in connection with business. Therefore, I expect there to be a mention of pricing.
I have an Android HDMI dongle for my TV. Cost £40, powered by a 2 amp USB wallwort if you want powered peripherals but the 500mA feed from a regular USB port will suffice for the device itself. Runs Android 4.2, has app store blah blah.
One of these in the monitor HDMI socket and a USB hub on the VESA mounting and you're set.
I'm doing a degree now for this exact reason. I'm coming up on 15 years in IT, but I'm still stuck at the bottom of the ladder because everywhere above where I am now wants a degree. They don't even bother saying "Thanks for applying" anymore.
Since they get to win votes by looking like the good guys for once.
Any opportunity to give the appearance of caring what the serfs think of them, at least until the next series of America's Top Next Factor Voice Brother starts and this whole mess can be forgotten.
You emigrate to somewhere. A person who comes from somewhere else is an immigrant. It's like that line in Apocalypse now (Paraphrased): "If we evacuate them they're evacuees, if they come to us they are refugees." Just FYI.
Want to skip non-fast-forwardable content? Start the DVD as normal, then press Stop. You'll be returned to your DVD players boot screen. Press Stop again, then press Play. The DVD feature will start immediately.
That's why there needs to be separation of those roles, if not production and testing systems. It should be a request to Systems to reboot certain equipment, not a decision made by a person without any responsibility to the rest of the company. The first thing I'd do in a place where someone other than the sysadmin / tech team got to control Systems is drive several nails in that coffin. If you can get access control then fine, but at worst you can still disconnect the power / reset switches from the motherboard.
I'd like to point out, though, that the user rarely interacts directly with the sysadmin. You "incur his wrath" when you do something moronic, like run test code in a production environment or open that email attachment from UPS saying the details of your uncollected package are inside. Helldesk may hate the users, but it's rare that the sysadmin will know one user from another.
To paraphrase Gunnery Sergeant Hartman "I do not look down on HR, BeanCounting, Dev or Housekeeping; To me, you are all equally worthless."

Nope. Slashdot has been reporting on it for 10 years.
Ladies and gentlemen... A prime example of why you need several sources of information.
Someone suggested sewing infra-red LEDs into the brim of a baseball cap to throw off facial recognition / CCTV cameras.
:-\
The bright light from your head will make you look like the Second Coming on footage, though. Plus, IR filters
Stop the movie first

Our enemies couldn't be sure that the press reports were right, not without confirmation from classified sources.
I approve of your choice of words. That's exactly how they see every single person, everywhere. Guilty until proven innocent.

I could have used MySQL, but I wanted to learn and practice with Oracle because that's the industry standard for large database applications.
QED.

That's a problem with the application name, not with search. How about Firefox? Do you type "Internet" or "Google"?
Purposely facetious.
Why not try Ubuntu? Unity was made for touch screens.

Off-topic.

Can't your brother just divorce this hag? She sounds like an absolute peach.

You can thank me with a +1 Informative mod.
Nuh uh.
Magic.
1million seconds ... or about 11.5 days
Well, which is it?! Don't leave me hangin', bro!
Kind regards?

Yeah. We just love creating work for ourselves.
