We don't have the infrastructure to support unlimited mobile data plans on a large scale yet. It makes perfect sense carriers would role out larger networks and cap data usage of mobile customers, because a handful of people would use a large portion of the data, and disrupt the reliability of the network for the rest of us. This is a neat advance, and hopefully sooner rather than later the cellular network will be able to carry the volume of data current stationary ISPs can, but we aren't there yet, and those upgrades will be expansive. The fact is that mobile data is expensive, it's expensive for Verizon to carry that data over their mobile network (and upgrade their network to accommodate it), and they're passing that cost on to their customers.
It's pretty simple, you can often force https simply by typing it in the address bar, if the site has some kind https cert set up, it'll bring you to a secured version of the site. https://twitter.com/ works and brings to twitter securely, as it does for many mail sites. All you have to do is add a character the html string, which isn't that complicated. For it to really be secure, the server administrator has to secure their site.
and because students can not always afford to keep their computers in working order (especially if their computer has a hardware problem), they need access to college maintained computers as a temporary backup should their personal computer fail. Even 12 hours without access to a working computer could be disastrous if it's the wrong 12 hours. All students having computers, and all students having working computers all the time are different things.
I've run XP SP3 on 256MB RAM before, it worked fine. None of the machines at my office have more that 512MB Ram, and they're all current, running XP SP3 and IE7 (but IE is disabled on most of them, with Firefox set as default). They run fine, so long as they're kept clean, however crapware and tracking cookies slow them down if they're not maintained well.
SUSE, like Windows is slow on a machine with 512MB RAM, I'm going try installing Ubuntu to see if that's better. KDE is crabby like Vista, Gnome is much better (and that's on a laptop with 1GB RAM).
Driver: Learn to drive you motherfucking asshole. Car: Please clam down, your aggravation is safety hazard. Driver: Fuck you Car! If you don't shut the fuck up I'm going to drive you into something. Car: That would not be advisable, attempting that may result in property damage and injury. Driver: Want to see... (Then slams car into a tree, in an attempt to teach the car a lesson)
Speak for yourself. If you'd actually had a girlfriend instead of hooker you'd know be more interested in her opinions than her pussy. If you don't think alike, and you don't like anything but her pussy, don't fuck her.
I can tell you this, no one who jacks off Palin is getting anywhere near my pussy.
There are plenty of key logger applications which can legally be used on a computer one owns and allows others to use. This is different, this is used to intercept data a person enters on their own computer, not on your computer, and there aren't legal uses for that, expect finding ways to prevent it.
No one said "sneak stuff in where it's business critical", in fact I've read the opposite many places here. The recommendation is that s/he use OSS where it's not business critical, where failure isn't the end of the world, to get people used to the idea that OSS works.
The teachers need to think about the consequences of their actions. No one is asking them to allow it, just not to treat a child in an undignified way because she was accused of violating the rule.
If a teacher found the bottle, that's another story (you're right, confiscate it and punish her), but no reasonable person can claim strip searching her is justified. The school should put her safety first, the risk to her of being strip searched is higher than the risk of her carrying the medication.
You must work at some kind of IT company. Where I work users are completely clueless, and few have computers at home, they share computers in the work place.
News flash: If one has proximity, anything is possible. If I have unfettered access to a machine then I can ensure that I can continue to have that access. No shit. Write up something worth reading when you can obtain the access sans my permission in the first place, or at least don't try to claim that it is a threat to *BSDs, Linux, OS X, and other secure Operating Systems. I know I'm missing one... Wind^H^H^H^H err... ahhh... no. I listed all the well known ones I guess.
Anybody who has total access can do anything, so if someone else gets access and you get it back, you should be able to undo what they've done, but not here.

A self signed certificate would be fine for most of what HTTPS Everywhere does.
End to end encryption is for stuff that really matters, not facebook and other crap that's public to the internet anyway.
I don't give a rats ass if somebody else in the cafe also wants to know the weather, or also wants to read about Linux concepts...
Don't use unsecured wireless for sensitive stuff.

Mac? I thought material goods were impure...

Naked pictures of yourself on the internet won't invite public ridicule?
Getting a cell phone without a camera isn't easy these days.
It's the other way around. They turned to crime in a good economy, and their crimes wrecked the economy.
If that's how you treat women, no wonder you can't get any. That goes for all of you.

By 11PM?
What about those who are so bright they can do the problem drunk? It should have levels.
Did you ever read the post I was responding to?
That's a new one. /sarcasm

National secrets are being typed on PS/2 keyboards though, so the last thing could be used. Granted, it's a stretch, and not something I support.

The rule might be stupid, but I'm not arguing over the rule here. Only the enforcement methods. I carried the same thing in school, and some.

I agree.
