People (in Texas)... this is an *opportunity*... to teach your children how to use the site tools (such as blocking/ignoring) used to prevent this behavior. Sure, they might make "dummy" accounts, but keep track of the accounts and report all the accounts to the site admins (they can learn who it is and either boot or block them permanently).
No - instead we opt for more laws. That's it - I'm pushing my kids towards law (they'll be happy to take your money)
Based on this answer of "yes", I would be under the impression that ANY software development company would be overjoyed to hire you...given that the qualifications are "screwing money out of stupid, statistically illiterate and not entirely mentally stable people".
Speaking of which... I have to go and pick up my copy of Windows Vista.
Listen - I always question who funds these kinds of studies and what conclusions are yielded. I somehow suspect the layman summary is:
People Performing the Study: 41% of software computer is priated! Software Industry: How do we stop it? PPtS: We build better copy protection systems! (thus raising the price - yet again) SI: We love it!
It's like the coke (cocaine) commercial:
I do coke... to work harder... to make more money......... to buy more coke.
It sounds like a team trying to make a name for itself - especially when "virtual colonoscopy" is making such progress.
If this spider method is for more intricate pre-surgical "scouting" - - then maybe it has a place. But if it's only at the stage of a general colonoscopy - then I think it's a case of: "yes we can... but should we have?"
I read an interesting argument back in 2000 (the piece was actually delivered in 1995!) and titled "Taking the Next Step Beyond Spectrum Auctions: Open Spectrum Access". Unfortunately we'll be fighting an uphill battle: "Governmental agencies tend to be staffed by lawyers who view a frequency as a unique property right."
1. Who writes these Slashdot titles? Talks about damn catchy! 2. If your Photoshop guru has glasses thicker than a quarter inch, smells of last night's alcohol or has blood-shot eyes... get someone else to double check his work.
I'm a little rusty on my Dune (novel) lore but isn't the reason they don't have wide-spread use of robots because there was a man vs machine war in the history behind the lore of Dune?
Here's why I ask - so far, Science Fiction writers have been visionaries either predicting the future or paving its way (I.e., the Star Trek communicator looks a lot like the cell phone, space exploration, etc).
Let's ask ourselves: Why exactly do we want/need robots? Can't we build non-intelligent, non-combat capable solutions for what we plan on building robots for? I don't know... the lessons of the visionaries are being treated as "fantasy" and all the while - it's us who create monsters without thinking.
So, it looks like we are closer to the novel than previously thought? And rather than witnessing the "end of the univers" (with dinner and wine) we are observing the cleaning crew (black holes) picking up the... er... mess?
Because we (PC users) can't afford them! Lower the price already. Also: I wasn't raided with the "I'm better than you - look at my Mac" attitude - or a hippie, or drive a VW, or... you get the picture.
Wow... are we really that afraid of dying? Let's slide down this slippery slope and say that we actually solve the aging issue. Throughout recorded history we estimated our numbers at under a billion. That's a long relatively steady line. Then, at the 11th hour (11:59 actually), we see the historic "J-curve" of world population growth (putting to shame the J-curve of an inconvenient truth). Hmmm... could that curve coincide with other issues on this planet?
We better think in advance and make the "immortal option" come with a price - no reproductive capabilities. That's right - trade your testis and ovaries for immortality.
Prepare for a new wave of Earth destruction movies. On a serious note, anyone know a good page, paper, or interesting sites concerning the heliosphere?
This is an example of how quickly we select polar opposites. It's not one or the other -it's a balance based on results. If we really are behind and we (as a nation) really want to do something about it - we don't have only one knob to adjust - we have several (quality and quantity being two of them).
I lean more to the side of quality but where's the harm in examining what another month or month and a half does for us?... especially at a better quality level.
We all know better quality will help - but all I am saying is that it would be in our best interest to do some research into longer school years and let the data be examined. I'm sure someone in this country (private or other) are experimenting with longer school years - let's hear more about them.
There are probably lots of "code of conduct" items in place to warn against this behavior. The code of conduct has a way of breaking down (either through lack of enforcement or scrutiny) when it comes to higher "ranks". The work force is a reflection of the leadership.
I strongly believe this is coming to the US so I've done a little bit of preparation. I've got me peg leg, me eye patch, me hook, and me parrot. Now all me needs is one of dem snazzy pirate names. Ahhhrrg - the internet is me answer!
Hey - look at it this way: We are witnesses to history in the making (in a literary sense):
Over time the meaning of words have changed. Examples: 1. Awful used to mean "full of awe" (something wonderful or inspiring) 2. Manufacture used to mean "to make by hand" (hence the "man") 3. Nice came from the latin "not to know"...hmm... maybe this one still stands. There are a lot of "nice" people in my workplace. Anyway...
Now Twitter. It used to mean: "Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets" - Wikipedia.
In the future it will mean: "Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service for non-technical, non-questioning *sheeple who unknowingly love to air their laundry on wireshark.
* Sheeple is a play on people + sheep. Not sure where I heard it (sorry - no reference to provide)

It was just a mistake ... the "Report Abuse" functionality was incorrectly sending incidents to local Police offices. It's been fixed now.

Based on the title of the article - I thought the "behavioral detection" might have been based on the Slashdot "Karma Engine". I guess not.

Yes, my karma is currently "bad"

This problem has already been solved (by the Dutch no less). Put your finger in the dike!
Modernize the mouse maybe - but what about our hands? Every single one of those looked like a carpal tunnel nightmare.
