I think it can be beneficial. I think it causes the TSA's to be more alert all of the time because they they are being measured by these tests. Thousands of people will go through the screening before a red flag item goes through. This could lull the TSA's into complacency and they could miss a real item.
I'm sure if they miss several of the test images they could get fired or reprimanded. Just like any job, once you are monitered people are forced to work better, for example my job, if a copy of my desktop was captured and sent to my boss at a random interval I would not be making this post.
I think he should get the blame. He had a job, and failed to perform it, knowing that it will crash after X amount of days only means he knew what would happen.
This is like blaming the gun makers when someone gets murdered. Microsoft made a gun, the FAA decided to purchase it, knowing it was dangerous,and then they gave it to a lunatic with out a trigger lock. I'm not suprised the crazy guy fired it.
I actually had to sign a similar agreement that just said if I left I would not work in the same genre of software for another company for 2 years.
Granted there are only 2 other companies, but the point is knowing what I learned from this job, and what this company does, I would be invaluable to one of the other 2. The difference if I didn't sign the NDA, I wouldn't have gotten the job.

I actually got mine from Ebay. I got 500 composite 11.5g Chips, that were hotstamped for about $50 then 20 for shipping.
I would really check ebay, anyone with a high seller rating would be fine. And I am completly happy with my chips. Especially because 500 hotstamped chips should have been $200+
I really have no complaint right now with my cable, its upload is capped at about 50, and download I believe is ~250. This works for me, playing quake I get good pings, if I wanna download Redhat I just start it when I go to bed. I don't see how this needs to be changed to a limit of 5gigs, or whatever is agreed apon, Especially if they charge you for the extra bandwidth that is used. I guess what I would rather see would be fixed prices for what you get, unlimited upload/download would be one price, maybe getting your upload/download speed caps a changed a different price.

It wasn't until I read the article and began to think about it. But there are so many cases, and not even in the industries mentioned in the article. The two examples that came to mind was first McDonald's were if heaven forbid you can't have a 20piece McNugget with 2 sauces they get you for a dime a piece for a extra sauce. And at the local university, if you want just a cup for water its a dime, unless your purchasing something. Its kind of amazing if you stop to look around and see how many places have little addon prices.
Well, the odd part about the statement, is that it never defines 'film', it doesn't really have to be a major motion picture. It could infact just be something copyrighted that shouldn't be sent downloaded, like porn:]
I couldn't find the link, but there was another example of this that a professor at Harvard introduced about a year ago. The scheme was to have a satellite that did nothing but stream numbers to everyone all the time. So when someone would use a purely random number, at a random time, from the satellite to encrypt the message, at the same time the other user would also start recording the incoming numbers, and stop recording at the exact same time as the sender. Now they both have the key, and it was never sent, and due to the billions of numbers that are being sent from the satellite there is no feasble way to know what the key is, or to store all the numbers being sent.

All we need to do is strape a bomb to RocketGuy and the rest should just work itself all out in the end. I'm the OOP in Moop.
