What? If anything, it was the opposite. The Rich were transferring money to the poor so that they could buy houses they could not afford. Once the bubble that caused burst, the poor lost their houses (which they couldn't afford in the first place) and the rich lost their money (foreclosing on underwater mortgages == losing money!).
Of course, the rich had bet everything (including the deposits in your bank accounts) on those mortgages. This is when the government decided to give your childrens' money to the rich to prevent the crash from becoming a collapse. But the government's action is the result of the crash, not the cause of it.
Say the average table has four people, the average meal lasts an hour, the average bill is $15/person, and the average tip is 15%, and you serve 4 tables, on average, at a time. That's $36/hour in tips. If you work eight hour days five days a week you're earning $75k right there! If anything, $37k is an underestimate for a waitress position.
That's US Dollars, not Great Brittan Pounds. Starting salaries for engineers in the US are in the $50k-$70k range, and my understanding is that things are similar in the UK.
In most cities, one could make $37k without any education or degree simply by waiting tables full-time.
Forcing companies to record what you do online just in case the police want to investigate you in the future is the ethical equivalent of forcing companies to record what happens in their bathrooms just in case the police want to investigate something in the future.
Someone could commit crimes in either locations. Spying on people preemptively is a violation of a fundamental human right to privacy. If there is a crime and a warrant for a specific incident, plant the cameras and taps to record activities. But if there is no crime? Liberty should prevail.
Coders and managers of all skill levels are both rich and intelligent compared to IQ 80 high school dropouts who spent part of their youths in "juvie" and hope to one day be supervisor at the drive through.
The reason you can't explain it is because you don't understand it yourself. There is no line between "hacker" and "kiddie." It's just hackers (people who circumvent computer security) of different skill levels. Call a low-skill hacker any name you like, but he's still a hacker.
There was a recent article on slashdot indicating that there are satellites of dark matter orbiting the milky way; their effects are observable by observing our own galaxy.
There's no such thing as a hacker who writes all his own tools. To imply that people using tools written by others aren't "hackers" but are instead "kiddies" is absurd because it implies that no hackers exist.
If you don't know the difference between a single-quote and a backtick, you probably shouldn't be in charge of cryptographic systems (or anything else important on a computer).
That is not correct. 26x2 (letters) + 10x2 (num/sym) + 11x2 (sym) +1 (space) = 95. There are 95 distinct characters that can be used as keys/passwords by any software that wasn't written by a complete moron. In some cases, even tab can be used.
In English, words can have multiple meanings. "Hack" is such a word.
The word "hack" in this context means "circumvent computer security." He clearly 'hacked.' As one who hacked, he was a 'hacker.'
There is another definitions of the word "hack:" to cleverly use something in an unintended way. This may be what you are thinking, but this is not the definition being used in the article. Remember back to grade school and "context clues?" Use your context clues in the future to figure out which "hack" is intended by the author.
That's not relevant. There is nothing stopping the transfer of a VM mifi device between different accounts. Selling or buying one on ebay is no problem.

Twitter's popularity and reputation mean it is less likely to be blocked, and traffic to it is less likely to be scrutinized by security analysts.
All the time? No. I said "on average." There is a difference. They may have 12 tables at lunch/dinner and 2 tables in between.

Yes. At least give us the option of light text on dark background. This is like staring into the sun.
No. The MSRP is $250. This means they will actually sell for $200, which is midrange (I say $100-$200 is midrange).

Selling off control of government and military websites is all part of the new Republican program to shrink the government and balance the budget.
There will never be an Episode 3. The Gordon Freeman story will continue in Half Life 3.
In English, words have multiple definitions. A dictionary that fails to recognize this uncontested fact is useless as a citation.
A cracker is someone who breaks DRM. A hacker is a person who circumvents computer security.

So that somewhat contradicts your assumption.
There's no such thing as a hacker who writes all his own tools. To imply that people using tools written by others aren't "hackers" but are instead "kiddies" is absurd because it implies that no hackers exist.

You're wrong. There very much are random passwords. Random passwords are those selected via a method which can't be predicted meaningfully.
On an e-reader you can adjust the font and font size to make it easier on your eyes than most printed material.
You counted wrong. Perhaps you overlooked the space character? That makes 95. If your software allows tab input, that makes 96.
Fail. For every key you "don't use" it would have to be order-of-magnitude longer, not 'slightly' longer.
That is not correct. 26x2 (letters) + 10x2 (num/sym) + 11x2 (sym) +1 (space) = 95. There are 95 distinct characters that can be used as keys/passwords by any software that wasn't written by a complete moron. In some cases, even tab can be used.

You need to count again. You've still got it wrong. Just look at your keyboard--you can do it!
