Really? Where do you live? Just about every grown up I know is working hard, sometimes 2 or 3 jobs. People with graduate degrees are busing tables, college graduates are working retail, people who used to make easy money are taking what they can get.
Much the same way that many firearms enthusiasts are BETTER shots than the cops. For many cops, qualification is a yearly obligation. For the target shooters, it's their weekly practice ritual and as such are highly skilled.
It doesn't matter who's the better shot, it matters who's better in a firefight. The vast, vast majority of weekend enthusiasts would fall apart in a real firefight (yes, this means you, whoever's reading this). Similarly, a non-professional driver might have better reflexes than a professional one but that doesn't necessarily mean "better."
Cops are skilled as they need to be;
Don't feed the trolls./. people are convinced that Macs are more expensive than their PC counterpart. This is just because you can't find a cheap mac, but you can find craploads of cheap PCs.
Because they are. Apple skimps on the specs to maintain an absurd profit margin. The "Apple premium" is sometimes lower than other times, typically because there's some gimmicky thing that Apple mass-manufactures that it's hard to get elsewhere (in the imac's case, the especially high resolution screen), but the fact is that you are always paying a premium, typically anywhere from 20%-50%.
Exactly, when it comes to sitting down and relaxing with a book for a few hours, a glowing screen is annoying. I can deal with it at work because I rarely spend more than 30 minutes reading a single document, but anything other than that and it's uncomfortable.
(5) Knowingly and without permission disrupts or causes the
disruption of computer services or denies or causes the denial of
computer services to an authorized user of a computer, computer
system, or computer network.
Authorized user? Who is authorized, who authorizes. Wouldn't giving out the password to numerous people in the room not authorized to have it break this part?
The head of his department was an authorized user under both the law and the policy. He refused to give the password to him. Your position has been tested in court and it lost. Don't be a sore loser.

Trust me, if a bank manager opens the bank vault in the morning and all the money's gone, they will go above and beyond their "long-standing policies."
Wow, whoosh, you have no clue what's going on, do you? The jury already found him guilty. I no longer have to presume he is innocent (which I certainly was doing before he was found guilty). The jury (which included a CCIE) clearly knows more about the case than you or I, considered the arguments of both parties, had the law shown to them by the parties and the judge, and came to a decision.
Funny how many people say this but when challenged on it, fail to come up with what "crime" he would have committed by giving the passwords to his supervisor. I'll ask you, but of course you're not going to answer it.
We both know I'm an experienced, certified chauffeur that has been in your employ for many years,, but unless you have the proper license, I'm not legally permitted to let you drive this vehicle yourself.
Exactly! And unless you are a police officer acting pursuant to rights given him or her by the law, you have absolutely no right to prevent me from driving the car. Chauffeur does not equal law enforcement officer; it's my car, get the hell out and give me the keys. What I do after that is none of your damn business. That's what Childs and you don't understand.

Extorts? So the labels threaten to break their kneecaps if the artists don't sign over rights to their songs for absolutely no compensation?
Record labels want to stop an organization which makes money from their copyrighted work without compensating them for that? That is just shocking.
What I have never understood is the appeal of buying gold with real money for a game. I mean, what's the point?

Because I am a better driver then most "professionals".
No you just think you are.
I have a feeling this guy thinks he's more important than he actually is.
Come on, when have you ever heard someone in IT with an inflated notion of their own importance? I mean, that is completely absurd.

Considering the two macs I've owned have both failed after a few years because of connectors, I can do without Apple's "engineering."

You should try Wubuntu, which is Ubuntu built on the Windows 7 windows manager.

It's also amusing how much of a religion opposing Apple seems to be. I have to wonder if the grand irony is lost on you haters.
This story made you angry, didn't it? As a fanboi you felt personally insulted, admit it.
Trust me, if a bank manager opens the bank vault in the morning and all the money's gone, they will go above and beyond their "long-standing policies."
By the way, when a law conflicts with a policy, guess which one you're required to follow?
The Department Head WAS entitled to the password though, but Childs refused to give it to him or anyone else except the mayor.

Huh? People don't lose the right to face their accusers and to a fair trial just because the OPTION of plea bargaining is there.

Gorgeous. Not sure if Colombian courts will enforce the judgment.
