Think of it this way: if a potential employer googles your name and finds the results offensive, do you really want to work there?
We're talking about a workplace where the management and/or HR goes behind each worker's back and snoops around their private lives. And then they change their professional opinion of you based on whatever personal information they found
The casual watercooler chats? Detrimental to your career.
Your political afflictions? Determines whether you get a raise of not.
I wouldn't work in a place like that even if they invited me.
Legally change your name to John Doe, or something similiar. Then break into all the databases used for the name change, and delete the information. Just to make sure, kill everyone who knows you changed your name. Burn down your house, your parents house, all the schools you went to, all the places you worked, your classmates houses, the auto license bureau, the Social Security Administration, and anyplace that may have you old name on record or any photos of you.
No, no, no, the fires will leave a whole trail of information that traces back to him. It would be trivial to connect this string of arson to him.
He must burn down every house, every school, every workplace, every auto license bureau, and every SSA to clear his name.
If you don't think academic scientists work for a living, you are WAY WAY off base. Becoming an assistant professor in a science discipline at a respected research university is currently one of the hardest and most time consuming undertakings you can take on.
I think he was referring to the common misconception that a tenured researcher has guaranteed pay, whether he actually "works" or not.
"Thank you for calling the malware eradication center. Please wait while we look up the address associated with the number you are calling from. Press # to manually enter an address."

I'm relieved to hear that this man is going to jail without any chance of appeal but allow me to play the devil's advocate here for a minute.
In this instance, he was having cyber sex with a 12 year old, which though icky, isn't illegal. However, he told her he wants to do it for real some day.
What if by "someday" he meant the day when the girl reaches 18? Since in this particular case there was no evidence of a specific data or time, we cannot just assume the worst. The burden of proof lies with the prosecution; the prosecution must proof beyond a doubt that he intended to meet the girl within 6 years.
If a parent walks in and sees this in the chat window, the guy is A OK law-wise, unless the parent lets him keep going and sets a specific time and place? I would pull the plug ASAP and call the police, and be deeply offended that he walks because I caught him trying to rape my 13 year old daughter before he set a specific place to meet her!
Again, by "13 year old" you implied that he intended to commit the act within one year. I completely agree that it's a fair assumption to make when you're the parent but it is definitely not OK to make that assumption as a judge or a jury in a court of law. Without hard proof that he intended to meet her for sex before shes reaches the legal age of consent, we cannot jail him on the assumption that he will "do it soon".
The following countries also sells milk in bags: Argentina, China, Colombia, Hungary, India, Israel, Montenegro, Nicaragua, Poland, South Africa, and Uruguay.
Also milk rarely comes in bag in Western Canada. It's more of a Eastern Canada tradition. When I lived in B.C. I never understood the whole "Canadian milk comes in bags" joke.
I was fed up with the general consensus that Linux is oh-so-secure and has no malware.
Just because it's a consensus doesn't mean it's correct. As you have demonstrated, it's very much possible to write malware targeted at Linux.
In fact, there are plenty of viruses and malwares specifically targeted at Linux, and their numbers are rising: http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3601946 However, because desktop Linux has an extremely small market share, malware for Linux has a correspondingly tiny market share.
Think of it this way, a few weeks ago you woke up and came up with the idea of writing a piece of potential malware directed at Linux.
But there are a hundred who woke up with the same idea, except they wanted to target Windows. In the end, 101 new malwares are born, with only one of them intended to harm Linux systems.
Anytime an operator finds duplicate IMEI numbers on their network, they immediately ban that number and report the offending number to the CEIR, which in turn ensure the offending IMEI number is banned across the world.
But in order to do that, they first need to buy a fake ID and steal a CC. This forces them to commit two extra acts of crime to meet their objective. These two extra crimes will result in more eye witnesses, more tracable cash flows, and higher chance of them getting caught by a security camera. The longer the trail they leave behind, the easier they are to trace.

Seeing as how Jake's case went all the way up to the 6th Circuit, charges were definitely pressed, unlike the submitter's case.

Scientists are like sharks and lame hypotheses are blood in the water.
Do they have frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads?

She should get the death penalty or, if I'm feeling really really pissed, have her listen to my mother complain why I don't call enough.

A "bogus IMEI" is defined as any IMEI found in the CEIR. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Equipment_Identity_Register
Anytime an operator finds duplicate IMEI numbers on their network, they immediately ban that number and report the offending number to the CEIR, which in turn ensure the offending IMEI number is banned across the world.
