The word around here, is that the best dog for that is not the big dogs, but rather the small terriers. They are small, but they can be very fast, very loud and very nasty, when they believe it is necessary. They were originally bred to be hunter/killers of big rats, going down into dark rat-tunnels underground.
Yet when they are not in defence mode, they are "cute lapdogs", quite smart and friendly (in their own way).;-)
(And, learn how to safely and accuratly handle a gun.)
Part of the problem here, is that no one at colleges rates except the degreed Professors. Others are Students, who are paying and therefore have some small status, and Serfs. Who, is everyone else!
They are generally good people. But if you deal with them, keep in mind that you are dealing with the local aristocracy and act accordingly.
And in many collages, they know nothing about anything technical...
It sounds like someone else setting up the account used Williams's personal email to link him in, and he never removed it (likely because a lockout could ensue)....
If the password was set up on the laptop, and he used the laptop to access it, he might never have known what the password was. It would just show as a line of "stars".
They probably wiped the laptop when it came back, as usual, and screwed themselves.
It sounds like a "standing wave" in the winds over the mountains. Which could maintain pressure differences that extend much higher and remain for a time.
Such waves can even have their own internal circulation, such as a horizontal rolling wind that is like a "tube" downwind from the mountains. I have seen such things near where I live, and I have seen videos available online.
But when the wind at lower levels changes, the standing wave could dissipate quite quickly.
Have such waves been seen in earth's upper atmosphere levels, from the ISS?
... There is considerable doubt over deterrent effect of the death penalty - I suspect that the deterrenc effect of disenfranchisement is pretty small.
The death penalty has one definate effect: The criminal will not commit any more crimes afterward!
... For example, I worked for a company that was growing 80% per year, becoming a leader in a new business segment. They would quickly duct tape together some software that would allow them to expand into another chunk of the market, a chunk that will be worth $20 million in four years. Later, they can spend $1 million to go back and fix the duct tape mess. They net $19 million that way, incurring $1 million in technical debt to quickly grab $20 million of the market before competitors do....
This is true. But everyone involved should remember that if the heap of duck tape and bailing wire collapses just before the big demo, then they have all failed anyway. This is the real cause of all those last second "disasters", like the blue screen of death at the Microsoft big reveal of a version of Windows some years back. And at demos of some very promising new companies, that are no longer even heard of...
Hijacking an aircraft comes under the international laws on piracy, that were originally written for piracy of ships. They are in generalized terms, though, so they also apply to other large carriers of cargo and people.
At the time this event was called piracy, but (as they do now) the news media changed it to "dumb it down".
If you call your government "fascist" and don't get arrested -- then your government isn't fascist. Try cursing out Hamas' leadership from inside Gaza.
Now that is a point that should get modded up. But I'm out of mod points...
If you were a frequenter of venues with live audio, you likely qualify as someone who can't hear high frequencies.
We wore earplugs when going to concerts, and they were so loud that we could hear fine through them! You couldn't talk to friends, whether you had earplugs or not. Many people got used to using hand signals. 8-)
I used to be able to hear 24Khz, but nowdays it is only to about 12khz. Might have something to do with a jet fighter landing about 60 feet away, when I was in the Navy.
Interesting. But I would say: Separate the cameras by the same distance as a human's eyes. Shots that are farther than 200 feet should be shot with regular cameras. But make use of relative movement for 3D effect and known objects (like people) for indicating size. Like the movies used over 50 years ago!!
Regular movies are in 3D, they just don't use binocular vision effects. It's all in the camera use and scene composition.
By the way, for those who site-see, that's why some real scenes seem so flat. Too far away for binocular vision effects, too large to estimate size and distance and no familiar objects near them to compare. For your mind to start seeing the Grand Canyon in 3D, you might have to walk back and forth 30 or 40 feet to get enough difference for your vision to "click-in".
I heard (from a drunk potato-digger in the pub last week - an unimpeachable source) that the KGB got a hack so they can apply a HCF instruction to the Aurora using an NES and 3 miles of barbed-wire.
He got it wrong, the 3 miles of barbed wire is for ULF transmissions to nuclear submarines.;-)
I watch 3D shows at my local theatre. Live people and in 3D. I believe the blood and guts story Titus Andronicus pulled then in in the 1500s to make the theatre cast's salaries better than normal - violent 'porn' . I see no reason to spend on electronic devices that do not give me the same realism, and ability to talk to the cast afterwards.
Yes. My father was in live theater, and it is a real thing and real "3D".
When 3D TVs are that real and that convenient, maybe they will succeed.;-)
The impressive scenes in Avatar were at long distance, beyond the range of human stereo vision distance sensing. All of the 3D effect in those scenes is from the relative motion, as you say. So 3D screens would not be able to improve those.
The 3D movies and TVs only make a difference for things that are up close, closer than about 200 feet. That's what always leads to the directors "throwing things in peoples faces". 8-P
It has failed before, but the id10t hollywood people didn't remember. Remember old photos of audiances wearing wierd glasses with different colored lenses?
1. Throwing things at people's faces.
2. Clunky glasses.
3. The human bifocal vision is only part of the 3D effect, relative movement (parralax) is already in regular movies. So they are 3D anyway!
4. Human bifocal vision for 3D only works out to about 200 feet, farther than that it makes no difference.

A dog IS a reasonable precaution. ...
The word around here, is that the best dog for that is not the big dogs, but rather the small terriers.

What others say on slashdot has no relevance to what I say on slashdot.
Someone mod this up, I'm out of points. ;-)

,,, The caveat to that statement is he wiped a laptop that was not HIS property. ...
He says he didn't wipe it. They almost certainly wiped it (routinely) when they got it back, but don't want to admit it now.
"Not repairable" probably just means they wiped the OS and it won't boot...

He worked remotely using that computer.
He says he did not wipe it before sending it back.
Likely, the IT at the collage wiped it (routinely) when it came back, and now doesn't want to admit it lest -they- get fired.
He also says that he was not the one who set up the account, someone else set it up with his name (for the collage).
If he used the password set in the computer, after they sent it to him, he might have never known what it actually was!

Both parties backed sociopathic liars. It's all hopeless.
They (almost) always have. But now that more people know about it, maybe there is hope...

You must be new here! 8-)
No one but you and I read the original articles...

True, it's not possible to test every combination in a huge system.

The modern engineer prefers an appreciative smile over a tawdry handout. :-)
Usually, yes. But the modern "pointy-haired manager" practices simulating "appreciative smiles", in front of a mirror...
Money is more real! 8-)
Different people have different ethics, you shouldn't push yours on other people.
You're confusing ethics, which are based on principles and are not relative, with morality, which is relative and malleable.
Look at it this way: slavery has never been and never will be ethical but it is, at some times in some places, moral.
Note: Slavery was advocated by humanitarians, in ancient times, as a way to avoid the slaughter of capured enemy soldiers.
"If Engineers built buildings the way Programmers write programs, the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization!"
And if you did it that way because your "pointy-haired boss" said to, then it is still your fault... ;-)
Moore's "law" is a trend, not a law or theory. Trends change... ;-)
