A majority xBox360 gamers are kids and young teens, where as PS3/PC are where older generations seem to gravitate. So it would be interesting to see the age range of polled. A kid obviously is not going to be thinking about collateral damage.
Anyone who knows anything about computers turns off the reporting to Microsoft feature. I launch almost all of the.msc's by going to Start> and typing it in the search bar, I do the same thing for command prompt and powershell. Also why the hell is the Metro UI in Server 2012? Who the hell is going to managing a server from a tablet?
I mean this is a study by a bunch of guys who are promoting sleep, and they are saying more sleep is better for you because it can prevent strokes. Hmmmmm
Most engineering programs require students to take many useless classes in terms of that they will be doing in the real world. I was an Computer Engineering major and then switched into Information Science and Tech. Math and Physics I an say were beneficial in my thought process for programming classes. However, taking Chem my freshman year was a complete was of time that I could have filled with a more useful class. There were a couple other engineering classes I took in my first two years in which case I consider a waste of time not to mention a couple thousand dollars.
PSN going down for an entire month probably hurt a little. They refused to secure their network prior and then when it did go down they drug their feet through the crap they were shoveling to get it back up. Their customer support will continue to go down the crapper as they care more about the RIAA and MPAA than the customers.
Apple has had the benefit of so many years of being such a small market share that it did not make sense for people to create Trojans that targeted them. However, Microsoft has had to respond to threats over the years and had the time to develop processes to assess threats and work with security researchers. Apple has ended up behind the curve in this spectrum because of how long they had a small market share. If Apple is able to suck up their pride and work with the researchers they could end up being able to deal with such threats appropriately, but right now their pride is getting the best of them.
The device obviously got through security in Dallas thus it must not have been a threat. It isn't like that was something that was easily concealed or concealed in a bag if the crew found it. The TSA have stopped exactly zero terrorists while harassing and groping millions innocent people and have multiple lawsuits filed against them costing taxpayers more money then their already ridiculous budget. TSA is a waste of taxpayers money, plain and simple.
"If you buy the disc, it must be locked to a single PSN account." So I need to buy two disks to play Call of Duty on multiple accounts... say one for me and one for my kid. That model is absolutely ridiculous.
If you actually read the article and not just the summary which seems to have added stuff, the student said it was his own laptop in the Huffington Post article. It also says no where that he was on the schools VPN, but they use a surveillance software on the students to recognize all tweets when they log in.
I work at a company that makes electronic medial record software, where many of my coworkers don't have degrees in computer science. My team supports the integration of our software with Windows and Citrix. I would say about half of my team holds degrees in CS or something related. Someone has a degree in music, another in education, physics, and economics. I know that the the Implementation team has even fewer people who hold degrees in CS or something related. I also worked at a company where the security engineer on the network team held a degree in psychology as well.
I keep hearing about stories like this from my mother about my old school, as well as other schools around the country. Schools need to realize that they are there to teach as their main function not to discipline. If a kid is acting out on the school grounds and breaking the rules, then they can discipline the children. Anything that happens outside of the school is none of their business and they should butt out. Activities outside of school grounds should be handled by the parents or police if it is that serious. The school is meant to teach that is it.
Problem here, he wasn't charged with anything other than resisting arrest. He was not charged with failure to obey a dispersal order. Funny, because I was not aware that charge could stand on it's own. Being a member of the press, he was allowed to be there according to the First Ammendment " record matters of public interest in a public place.", meaning he was allowed to be there to document the event as a member of the press. The police then attempted destroyed evidence of their unlawful actions. The attempted deletion of the video is a blatant admission of their guilt, these officers should not only lose their jobs, but he charged with obstruction of justice and serve prison time.
Apple started making iPhone in 2007, then they tried to mess with a company that was making portable phones for over 30 years prior and were the main developers for the backbone all all the cellphone technology. Apple thought they were hot stuff and decided to kick a sleeping dog, they just didn't realize that dog was bigger than them in the cellphone business and would bite them in the ass for messing with them. Apple has a lot of good patents and a lot of bull crap ones, ie round corners on a rectangle. This one is an actual technology and doesn't apply to the 3G standards of FRAND so they are pretty much screwed on it. They asked for it though. Motorola left Apple alone, but Apple had to try to sue Motorola and every other Android phone maker. I guess their lawyers didn't think twice about suing the company that hold nearly every patent that involves the backbone of cellphone technology.
Wasn't able to read the article at first. That is great except it wasn't in front of the wife or kid (who is like 1 year old and I am pretty sure doesn't have a Facebook or can read). The wife who was blocked from his Facebook, was stalking him through someone who they were mutual friends with Facebook. If anything this is utterly invasion of his privacy. It is like getting a mutual friend to wear a camera when they come over your house and they say you are offended that they have a sign in his that says "My Ex Sucks".
Mice? Mice, a desktop GUI, using both hands to type and using the mouse when needed? All stolen from Xerox bro. The smart phone existed before the iPhone with these things called IBM Simon came out in 1992, Palm, BlackBerry, and Windows all had smart phones out in the late 90s into the 2000s. Tablets all existed before the iPad sport. Dynabook concept in 1968 and Microsoft had a tablet PC available in 2001 with HP, Lenovo, and Acer all manufacturing models. And Microsoft coin the term tablet. I would give you that Apple is the one who innovated the mp3 player. but that is about it.
Difference there is that you are following her around and the porn viewer is staying put. I find it hard to correlate sitting and watching porn as harassment. The woman didn't want to see it, couldn't she just as easily move to a different computer?
As socially unacceptable, as well as creepy as this guy is it is his right to watch it. If he were beating it, it would be another story. I think this fits into the First Amendment even if it wrong. I think back to when I was a kid and the library had plenty of National Geographic magazine, anatomy and sexuality books all of which displayed nudity, will these be banned next in libraries. Granted nudity is different than pornography, but someone could just as easily be offended if someone is reading one of the books right next to someone else. Will these be the next to be banned? I could care less about whether or not you can watch porn in a library, but taking away part of the First Amendment because people might be offended is opening a can of worms.

While the oil companies continue to make record profits as they keep the price of gas jacked up... cause that isn't collusion.

I feel like it will only be about a week or so until these begin getting hacked by someone wanting to mess around.

This was announced yesterday and I actually saw it in the firehouse yesterday. Yet it isn't posted on Slashdot til today.

It is cheaper in the US than most of Europe, but more European countries aren't oil producers.

We heard this before meanwhile oil companies were making record profits and politicians were lining their pockets.

I didn't know you can't bitch about someone on your personal page/blog... I wonder what the sex of the judge is.

My offer is $100, but if your rock fails me, you must use some of that $100 to buy a wireless router to kill the Lion that ate me.
