With all those retired folks having lost much of their retirement in the stock market (wtf were retired or soon to be retired folks STILL in the market is beyond me), they have gone back to work: flipping burgers, retail, and other jobs that usually younger folks take - employers prefer older workers because they have a work ethic - usually.. Hence the reason why the unemployment rate among teenagers and early 20 somethings are well into the double digits.
Add in their race, which looks like African American from the video, that adds quite a few more points on to their unemployment issues - for various reasons that I won't get into and which we all know.
Now, I'm by no means condoning what they did: I'm just trying to promote some understanding. When folks get desperate, they do desperate things. Just getting a job, for many, is not an option - especially in one of the worst economies in decades.
There are some doing to support substance abuse, which being an addict precludes employment. They need help.
Now, there's the crowd that does this shit because "it's cool". They're just punks they should get their asses shot off.
Yeah. And the way they were slapping them closed and handling them, I'd be surprised if a few screens and drives didn't work well after this. It'll make it hard to fence them.
When I read these Cloud Computing articles, I have these thoughts of writing a program that mines the data of all those companies that put their financials and other documents up there. Then use that data for: insider trading, marketing things to them, competitive advantages, and a bunch of thing that can be gained with confidential and insider information.
I think I'm a frustrated crook or security consultant.
Don't you understand that Snow Leopard is God's gift to operating systems?

Folks accuse Apple of re-inventing Superfetch. That is non-sense. Everything that Apple does is new and unique! It only seams as if Apple copies stuff because others come out with their own versions so fast that it sometimes seams as though they invented it first. But we all know that it was Apple who invented it first because their the ones who drive innovation in the PC world!
Anyway, this story came out just in time! I'm on my way to Sunday Apple services at the local Apple store. The pastor was blessed by Jobs himself once at a MacWorld show! To be touched by a hand that was once touched by His Appleness is just spiritually uplifting!

Besides the sales assistants there have probably been brainwashed to outright refuse to sell any prepaid SIM cards they might have and do all they can to convince you to take out a 36-month contract even after clearly explaining to them you are only staying for two weeks
Commissioned sales reps or their manager is on commission and is forcing their subordinates to push that crap.
I am very wary of commissioned sales people at the retail level. Their mentality always degrades to a slash and burn - do whatever is takes to sell the highest commissioned items and who gives a shit if it's the wrong thing or if the customer never comes back.
I would like to add to the parent who is spot on. Do not give those "programmer" tests that are basically tests on how well you can act as a manual compiler. I took one of those for an interview in Ft. Lauderdale many years ago for a large video rental chain and it was just testing some made up logical problems and then decoding some made up "computer" language - it was a bunch of alphanumeric symbols that you had to look up the directions and exceptions for each symbol and come up with numeric codes. After a while, I got this horrible migraine, thanked them for their time, and walked out. I had a few years of programming experience under my belt too so I wasn't some newbie. I ended up with a much better gig somewhere else.
BTW, they are, at least back then, a Visual VB shop.
The major advantage is, when those rich parents are touring the school, the school's administrators can say "WE have a paperless library and WE will expose your child to the latest technology and editions of material preparing them for their future academic careers at whatever Ivy League College they choose to go to." (Notice that it's not whatever school they can get into like the rest of us poor slobs)
It's a marketing gimmick to get well to do parents to send their pampered gold plated snowflakes and spend the money and maybe give some money for the endowment to said school. With the hopes that their soon to be platinum snowflake will graduate and one day become the elite that rules over us peons and makes millions of dollars with their hedge funds, whilst feeling something like pity (feels like a little gas) when they see folks losing their homes in economic downturns because those folks actually bought into the myth propagated by the said elite that they could actually have a piece of the American pie by working hard, climbing that corporate ladder, and investing in their 401K.
Geeze! I'm getting really cynical and bitter. Oh well.
... will somebody victimize me so that I can put it on my resume?
Just look for nude pictures of celebrities - that's the only time in the last few years I actually got infected - AVG caught it. Or, visit porn sites and start clicking on links and when the "This site is a reported attack site." big red screen comes up, by pass it and start downloading. You'll get infected.
Considering the dismal state of science education in public schools, if you have kids and they have an interest or aptitude in science, home schooling or tutoring would be the only way for them to be prepared for college. Otherwise, they'll be spending their first couple of years taking remedial math and science.
The summary seems to be a description of a meta-search engine, which is rather common. (Dogpile).
The actual product seems MUCH more interesting than the silly summary. It compartamentalizes secret info, so if you are classified for level 5, you can still search and find info that is level 6, even if the file also has level 4 information. It can also tag information so that if your level 5 clearance is not enough to tell you how person A is connected to person B, you can still know that the connection exists.
Yeah, but if you are classified for level 5 and look at level 6, which presumably is above your classification, then you are in fact looking at classified work even if it has level 4 work - which means the levels of classification are being broken and the security is compromised. And if person A is a 5 and looking at classification 6 which is connected to person B it in effect blows any security clearances out the door. Of course, person C who is a 4 looking at person B who is a....I've gone cross-eyed, dizzy and I'm nauseous.
Sorry, I gotta call bullshit. This won't stand up in court in a million years for one reason: there are multiple ways of faking that and magicians have been doing so since before you or I were born; I can even cite the specific magic tricks where they bypass the "protections" you seem to think can't be bypassed. I'm sure your grandpa sold inventions but that method didn't protect him in the least.
It doesn't matter how you think it can be faked. If the law allows something in court then it stands up in court. period.

I wonder what the legal team will do? This is a derivative work and the guy did reverse engineer how things worked (a little) to get Linux on it.

Where's the oversight? When Microsoft looks at a company, Government starts sticking their noses in. I don't get it.
