This reminds me of a movie with Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx "Law Abiding Citizen". Gerard Butler uses his intellect to really screw with the system. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1197624/
Here is the difference I've found, a geek likes to sit and contemplate all the variables and think about the consequences. I've met very few geeks that make snap decisions unless they have been in a field for a long time and know it backwards and forwards... even then the snap decision will be on a basic item not a complex one.
On the other hand a soldier is use to making snap decisions carrying forward and locking stuff down and analyzing it later with an After Action Report so if it was the wrong decision why, if it was a good decision what can be done better or more efficiently.
1. You can read faster than a good portion of people can speak.
2. No one gets to know what you are conversing over. (teens especially love this)
3. No one has to hear about what you are discussing. (I'm talking to you Mr. really loud cell phone talker guy)
4. If you have a crappy memory it is there for retrieval instead of trying to recall what was discussed.
I hate texting but I ask my significant other to text me the grocery list so other people at work/bus/train don't have to hear/know that I need to pick up some rich chocolaty ovaltine.
Really? at University in the United States, Desktops - both Macs and PCs have regions set. This means the international students can't watch the movies they brought with them from home. It also means that a DVD loaned to a student from a visiting professor on Irish literature from across the pond to a student can't be played.
It also means the President's failure of a gift to Gordon Brown, a DVD can't even play on Euro DVDs for an extra dash of failure.
No it doesn't Electronic Voting with out a paper trail does. In my district we have electronic voting machines that spit out a paper ballet you then verify your vote and then walk over to the ballot box and place your paper trail ballet box. If it fails you contact one of the people that assist and start the process of finding out what is wrong.
One problem - How many Korean to English paper dictionaries have physics terms in them.
The best bet would be to get his test translated in Korean by a upper level class man/woman or graduate student. There should be an international student affairs liaison on campus that can get this done. Utilize your on campus resources (usually you tell your students this but staff/faculty need to be told of this as well apparently).
note: Answers to the test by the target student need to be in western Arabic/European numerals/scientific notation and readable by an English speaking/reading grader.
The good thing is that they are actually asking these questions in the first place. We all know other companies (not all) that wouldn't give some of these balancing ideals even a moment of reflection.
1. He could have contracted the item to be couriered and put a collateral of isk that was worth more than what the item was worth. If the courier loses it he loses nothing.
2. He couriered something while he was at war with another corporation.
3. He did not set up an instant warp bookmark for exiting the station.
4. He did not put a cloak on this ship.
5. He was in Jita. The biggest trade hub in the game. He did not have to pick up plex there.
6. There is no six (Monty Python and Eve University reference).
If you deprive somebody of it for 18-21 years then you get people going nuts and overdosing on it once it is first accessible. The internet was something brand spanking new and generation x ate it up like a junkie.
Similar to kids in Europe they grow up with less restrictions on alcohol and it doesn't seem to be an epidemic of kids drinking over there in excess. This newer generation can be less obsessive about how everything works and be on it all the time.
Wait you don't think they have a camera pointed exactly at this scanner with a timecode sync. It's trivial to rewind a set of video and find out exactly who you are.
Don't think for a second they do not know who is who. Maybe not the drones manning the station but the analyst will definitely have a clue. Now think of a celebrity passing through one of these. All one of the drones needs to know is the time the celebrity crossed the scanner (Yes most use private charters but there is the occasional public figure (Kevin Smith anyone?))
Israel. Airport security in the U.S. is a joke compared to what they have going on there. Remember when they were confiscating whatever the new apple product was. There security is armed to the teeth. I understand they are trying to keep their country safe and am not making a judgment; just pointing out that the U.S. isn't the only one detaining people at airports for questioning.
On another note.. would you let some one you know hacking your companies website go ahead and sit in the break room with administrative assistants without at least talking to him? The U.S.Government is trying to protect security and information leaks. This was an opportunity to grab for some low hanging fruit, hoping they would get lucky.
By being well informed of his own rights the target was able to stop any communication with out a lawyer present.
What about follow spots? The tech or stage manager is probably calling cues to the follow spot operators. Sure you can get a vari-lite to hit a couple of static spots but the tech is there for when things go wrong like someone is sick backstage they are going to do the next bit with out him, patch out or don't spot this part of the performance.
There are some people who enjoy going to the same live show multiple times. They relish in what is the same as well as what is different in each performance. A synth is not even close to a live performer. A recording gets mundane to those who go to multiple showings.
It is similar to the difference of using a code generator and point and click interface for a novice compared to getting in there yourself and seeing what the real code is and writing it yourself.
I use to think teaching any religion for H.S. and College was a bad idea. Then I took an intro to religions course as a core requirement. It will open a person's eyes up to different perspectives and has allowed me to open up new opportunities and better insight in business and personal relationships.
Do I have to believe what they believe? No. But understanding where their values and beliefs are compared to mine has been a valuable guiding compass.
A common complaint brought up in religion classes is that it leads to so much war.. Which definitely is true..however if everyone understands other religions then you take that tool of people's ignorance away from tyrants who would use religion as a device to initiate war.

spoiler alert. What he does with a cell phone is pretty awesome.

Depends on the state that your in. Florida has a lot of unions in the Amusement Park industry but one is not required to join them upon employment.
and then I got at angry at the human who arbitrarily turned the other robot off.

ballot*
No it doesn't Electronic Voting with out a paper trail does.

Forgive my ignorance but how do they do a credit check on you for a loan? Just name, employer and address?
Year book
Anyone have a link of an alternate source. Wikileaks where are you when we really need you.

and no I'm not a Google fanboy

depends on how close to shore it is. It's nearly a non-event if the ship is not close to shore.
One word: Cooling

People who do not know how to swap out Video cards are a good source of these machines.
For someone doing this manually yes however photosynth has made this an easy endeavor now a days. You will see what I mean from the 3:00 mark and on.

While what you say is correct
What about follow spots? The tech or stage manager is probably calling cues to the follow spot operators. Sure you can get a vari-lite to hit a couple of static spots but the tech is there for when things go wrong like someone is sick backstage they are going to do the next bit with out him, patch out or don't spot this part of the performance.
