Not to mention printers have had full blown operating systems for firmware for years. The printer we just got can print via ftp, e-mail (pop access to remote account), etc. Printers are now computers that print and need to be secured as such.
That makes a LOT more sense. Although should a judge that doesn't know the definition of "function" from a software perspective really be giving opinions on how copyright should be applied to software? I completely agree with him, but he should still read up on the subject of which he is speaking first.
Games is kind of a weird on in College computer courses. Depending on the game*, it can teach you everything from 3d graphics to relational databases and client-server networking, but in the real world most "game" programmers make substantially less than most other CS careers (db admin, back-end coders, application development, hardware interfacing, etc). It can be a very good way to learn certain skills, but teachers should not be pushing people to become "game programmers" as a career.
* This is EXTREMELY important. Writing "space invaders" has little skill involved (hit-boxes and timers mostly), while writing a multiplayer racing game contains physics, graphics, networking, synchronization, security (anti-cheat), and possibly even AI (racing is particularly difficult to do well with AI).
Wait until he graduates and still can't change a tire, balance a checkbook, count back change or list his rights as an employee. As much as I wish computers were taught better in school, there are a LOT of more important stuff that has been missing for 30+ years.
Take a look at Urban Terror. Originally a Q3 mode, then based on ioquake3, the next version will be completely stand-alone. Quake3-like gameplay with ledge climbing, wall-jumping and reloads.
Just so you know, the main reason "changing the screensaver" is restricted in most corporate environments is because it actually IS a security issue. Enabling access to it allows them to A) change or remove the "locked" timeout B) us "effects" screen-savers that allow the content of the screen to remain visible.
Actually, in many areas google street-view already has 3d. Take a close look and you'll probably notice rudimentary 3d at a resolution of about 2 meters (groups of trees, fences, etc). It's not very detailed right now, but it's well on its way.
YES. Vaccinations only take 90-95% of the time. There are also people that cannot GET vaccinated (allergies, reactions, etc). Also, by not getting vaccinated, you are allowing the viruses to prosper and forcing FUTURE generations to continue the vaccines instead of everyone doing it now and the disease being extinct PERMANENTLY (see smallpox). It's because the vast majority of people were immunized against smallpox that you no longer need to get that vaccine. You can thank your parents for that one!
Not if the vaccination didn't take (there is no way to know until you GET sick). Sometimes the vaccine simply doesn't work for some people (I've seen estimates of only between 90% to 95% work).
Actually it does apply, but in its favor. The hygiene hypothesis works on the idea that exposure to mild forms of diseases builds up your immunity. Vaccination uses EXACTLY this mechanism. It's like taking a bath in mild measles, but more effective.
No, you are a flat-earther if you get your medical advice from celebrities and Fox News instead of listening to educated professionals and decide that putting every person your child comes into contact with in danger of contracting deadly diseases is better than dealing with a couple minutes of crying from a little pinch in the arm.
It's ridiculous to consider anyone playing the same game in 10 or 20 years.
You mean like Quake III (1999) or Star Craft (1998)? Both are *very* popular games at LAN parties, not to mention all the derivatives of Quake 3 out there.

I never said they should dissuade them, simply that they shouldn't PUSH it. It would be like pushing them to tech support careers.
Call up Amazon and ask them about their certificate. Maybe they should print it on the back of all their packing slips.
It may sound stupid, but with the current proliferation of QR codes, that idea isn't quite as far fetched as you may think...

Is your hatred of MSCE specific to MSCE or all certificates? For instance, what's your opinion of the RedHat certifications or even the Ubuntu ones?
Evolution also applies to bacteria, viruses, etc that all evolve MUCH, MUCH quicker than humans and have a HUGE impact on treating diseases.
That's probably because no doctor wants to be known for only having a medical license because they sued for it.
Do you also object to having the *theory* of gravity shoved down your throat?
So your plan is to turn yourself into the antenna that will send the lightning to your target. What could possibly go wrong?

And having a shared network folder mounted to f:\ (or /mnt/shared_files for *nix guys) does exactly that.

Do you have a link to this issue? I've been considering an SSD for my laptop, but any such issue may affect which type I buy.

a strict vaccination schedule trains every single immune system on the same precise schedule, with identical doses of genetically identical antigens.
And how is that worse than not training them against any of them?
The hygiene hypothosis doesn't apply.

And just what evidence did YOUR post provide?

What control does Google have over iTunes? Then again, they could always just issue a DMCA Takedown, that would be like double payback!
That's quite a bit larger than a "deck of cards"...
