8) Buy your own insurance. Depending on your age and medical history, this can be had for as low as $100 per month. I've done this when I was "between jobs" and the coverage was pretty good.
Although if you have a bad medical history, such as my cousin that had cancer, expect your coverage to be in the $1000-2000 per month range.
"Lawmakers today announced new legislation that will take away more of our civil liberties, in response to recent attacks by the groups LulzSec and Anonymous."
It SHOULD come down to a simple business decision.
Is the advantage of adding those devices going to bring in more revenue than the extra effort and lost/compromised data is going to cost?
Actually the question should be, will it reduce the costs associated with people bringing rouge devices onto the network, or using their work PCs to visit a lot of insecure web sites?
We already have phones and even PCs that can access this kind of stuff from their own 3G networks. Hell, I bring my personal laptop into work sometimes already.
Hell no, bucky, prison is a for profit industry these days. Prison is the new plantation. In California, for instance, prison industries are exempt from environmental and safety regulations. And state agencies are required to buy from a prison industry where one exists, even if the products are inferior, unsafe, and more expensive than those available on the free market.
The powers that be have every incentive to create more, and more ridiculous, crimes. After all, if you are wealthy and politically connected, you can commit any crime you like with impunity, so what does it matter to you that everything is now a crime?
Ok, so then what about porn in which girls are portrayed as being underage, when in fact, they are not? This has happened and the courts have ruled that it is legal.
I actually like conversations in small groups, but when there are more than 5 people, my stress level usually goes up.
I suppose it also depends who is in the group - a lot of guys talk about sports and cars, and these not only don't interest me, but they also feel like less of a man for knowing very little about them.
I agree with #3, just route all traffic through Tor.
If you have a Linux server, you could set up Squid to reduce web bandwidth usage. To reduce torrent bandwidth usage, you could also host an FTP server on one of your PCs, so they don't have to go out to the internet. But then that opens up a whole new legal can of worms.
Reminds me of a time when I worked at my school's I.T. department, and they were considering whether we should block pornography in the dorms because it was consuming a lot of bandwidth. My solution? Host our own porn server!
Couldn't students just major in "English" and take all of the CS/Engineering classes as "electives", and then just change their major at the last minute?
We expect the world population will be in decline by mid century, due to the liberation of women, access to birth control, etc. If given the option, women prefer having fewer children and investing more effort in each child.
Have you been outside the US and Europe? Most of the undeveloped world does not share this philosophy.
No matter how good SSL is, you can always just remove it with a tool like sslstrip (also developed by Moxie Marlinspike). I guess you could have banks and other web sites instruct the user to look for the lock icon, but like Moxie said in his Defcon talk, he tested it on hundreds of users by running a Tor exit node, and every one of them still logged in after being sent an unencrypted login page.

Didn't Trump try to trademark "You're fired"?
Maybe if he did I could sue my former boss for trademark infringement.
"Lawmakers today announced new legislation that will take away more of our civil liberties, in response to recent attacks by the groups LulzSec and Anonymous."
And were the managers making these decisions subject to the same rules?

Kids these days are sending me text messages. This used to annoy me, before my company started paying for my phone.
For me, it was generally ICQ for friends I met online (Kali), and AIM for IRL friends.
You can still see its effects in my use of acronyms...
Yup, so they are shedding employees, like any other business that faces reduced demand for their product/service.
Ok, so then what about porn in which girls are portrayed as being underage, when in fact, they are not? This has happened and the courts have ruled that it is legal.
Not that I would know...
If only it were this easy to get rid of *real* garbage.

I also think there's a big difference between having lunch with your work friends and having lunch with your boss.

My proposal was rejected.

State schools are government-run and not free market though.
There is currently a shortage of Engineering and Science majors, so charging more for these degrees is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Yeah, but AT&T rocks at it's other main service: telegraphs
You do realize that on EE, you can scroll to the bottom of the page for the answer?

I was 11 at the time, and I would always ask my friends "Do you have Windows 95?" They'd often respond with, "No, I have Windows 94."
