That show was Penn and Tellers "Bullshit" and I was extremely dissapointed with that demonstration. Thier "Hero" marine appeared to give the child no instruction in the proper technique for the use of the firearm. And he specifically failed to correct the child who was holding the weapon in an inproper firing position. As a result it appears that he was struck in the face or glasses by the charging handle, or triangular projection on the left side of the weapon (sorry I havent used that (or any model) since my army days so I dont remember the proper name of that part.
What Pirate Bay does could be called contributing to, conspiring to, inducing, abetting or some other variation of helping other parties engage in copyright infringement.
They host a file which in turn points to servers which maintain a list of people sharing parts of a given file (which may be subject to copyright protections in some jurisdictions). If someone chooses to use this information for the purposes of copyright infringement that is not Pirate Bay's problem.
Actually as far as I know it is completly legal for you to write a script to instruct your computer to request the document located at a given URL.
1000 times a second, or whatever...It would be stupid for the provider to actually respond to all of your requests. And in fact Google has click-fraud checking mechinisms to prevent them from billing for things like this.
Immoral != Illegal
The definition of immoral (and illegal if you want to be technical) depends upon intent.
I'm not sure what you're looking for here but the only one I would find unacceptable is example (a). And this certainly wouldn't be a civil matter, but an example of inappropriate behavior in school (and punished as such).
As in next year your agency gets a 50% budget decrease...and NO ONE will ever be confirmed to an executive position who doesn't espouse the belief that Net-Neutrality is anti-market whatever...
The RSA/Passmark system used by many banks for "Multi-Factor Authentication" (it really isn't) uses fingerprinting as one of the many factors.
I used to have to do support for an installation of this system provided by ITI (a banking industry software provider, now owned by FISERV).
Anyway part of the MFA process checks the fingerprint to see if it is one of the ones saved in a users profile...if it is not then they get asked for the extra security question.
We sometimes had odd issues with the detection when the customer had an old version of flash (5 ish) , or was using an odd platform (Apple).

Clearly from the lameness of the title they chose the acronym first and then found a title to fit it. Why anyone would think its appropriate to use the acronym AEGIS for something that doesn't involve defense or a shield I dont know.
back in 10th grade I had an assignment to do a book report with associated musical accompaniment. I wasn't into music at the time so I consulted with a friend, I ended up using 'Sabotage' to go with Tom Clancy's Op-Center (the first one).
It is really pretty amazing how well the song lines up with the events in the book, the comparisons I made would hardly qualify as metaphors...
It was quite surprising to my classmates as I didn't appear to be the Beastie Boys type, and everyone else's presentation was quite lame...the teacher liked it...my parents, not so much.
This story makes me wonder if something more complicated might be going on.
Imagine if you had a library of standard sounds (notes, chords etc. from different instruments) and the various voice clips, and modifiers (echo, distortion etc...) needed to create an equivalent sound recording.
In effect an method for creating a virtual cover band.
So imagine you buy OMG_Famous_Track, ran it through some sort of computer program, which selects the best samples from your library in order to stitch together an equivalent sound recording. Then an human comes along and touches things up until its virtually indistinguishable from the original recording.
You then proceed to sell THE [ARTIST]'S - [TRACK] by [Company]. That is you sell the equivalent recording made up of all your properly owned samples, with a name that indicates that it should sound like the famous [ARTIST]s [TRACK].
Hell for all that work, I'd probably just start a site for cover bands.
Click on the track you want, we'll give you a list of cover's that we sell.
One place I worked, we had to impliment a 30 day retention policy, AND scan the network for any *.pst files (and report the user and delete the file). Of course there was an ever expanding list of "important" people whos *.pst files wouldnt be scanned/deleted. CEO, Legal, HR etc...
The official recommendation became that it was acceptable to archive email in *.txt or *.html formats, because this was no longer E-Mail, and thus was not subject to the retention policy...
Silly policy, but it became an interesting programming project...
Sure WOG was hyped, but so are many terrible games. I've recently gotten to the point where I won't buy any game without trying it either in the form of a demo (yay xbox live), or through GameFly.
I know now that that I have played it that WOG is certainly worth more than $2 to me. I would consider it to be in the $15-$30 range in terms of fun and satisfaction.
So here's my thought, let me play the game for a couple days, if it totally sucks you'll only get a token sum. If it roxorz then you get the lucre...

Your talking about Passmark (bought by RSA in 2006). As some other posters have metioned the security provided is questionable. It is also typically sold as "Multi-Factor" Authentication. It includes a computer fingerprint generated with JS and Flash. There was a major push for all banks to buy this software in 2007/2008. If any cares for more infomation I was responsible for supporting MFA (Passmark) at a $1B community bank for around a year.
The "About" page doesn't really contain any more infomation than your post. Certainly nothing that justifies the use of the word "Methodology".

Awesome turn based strategy game, it used to let you pick any of the Candidates running in either primary, I dont know when they changed it, or what else they changed.

Yeah I just got a great deal from the Dell Outlet.
I've spent more on games from Steam (on sales) than I did on the computer itself.
There is also a ridicoulsy long article (1/2 the mag) in this months National Geographic.

There was an article about this in this months Popular Science
I can't belive you didn't post a link.
I mean this is slashdot...getting your site slashdotted is part of the fun.

That is essentailly what they tried the first few times. Apparently there are problems due to the pressure/temperature at this depth.
They might be talking about the FCC's jobs...

The Atlantic has a really interesting article about the FBI's multi-year investigation of Stephen Hatfill for the same crime.

Thats funny, ING Direct was a standard example in various "How to do Web Design Right" books for years.
Why exactly would it be a documentary sent back from the future?
