The problem is that the federal student loans, while genuinely useful to some, have been exploited pretty much to death by the for-profit colleges. Those do powerful marketing and have pretty much established the idea that everyone should go to college, no matter what.
Hmm, methinks you have cause and effect reversed. Years of civil rights (and many other factors) has led to the college-or-die culture. The for-profit colleges are a natural market consequence of a high demand.
Journalism is a global business and works the same everywhere.
Wrong on so many levels. For example there's no 1st Amendment in France. Privacy laws in France are also way stricter than in the US, so photojournalists (including "paparazzi") have many rules about what they cannot photograph.
I suggest you rethink your statement that XXXXXX is a global business and works the same everywhere. (Substitute a variety of global businesses into XXXXXX and you'll see how silly your statement is).
Hmm. Okay, can you give me some examples to help put this in context? What I'm interested in knowing is if those privacy laws affect which photos taken out of country are legal to run. Thanks.
I don't know in your country but in mine (France) if a journalist publishes pictures that are staged like this one and passes them as depicting a real event, he would probably be fired.
Journalism is a global business and works the same everywhere. I seriously doubt the photographer would be treated differently in France, as the papers there and elsewhere buy and sell photographs from all over.
I'm not convinced that Facebook likes translate into election victory yet. When the President is re-elected, it will be because he's still far more charismatic and interesting than any current Republican contenders. I don't like his politics but I like him more than Romney, Perry, et al.
The generation that lives and dies by Facebook still doesn't show up at the polls in significant numbers.
When a Microsoft Windows machine gets infected by viruses/malware it does so mainly because users forget to update the Java JRE, Adobe Reader/Acrobat and Adobe Flash.
Update early. Update often.
Alternately, you could simply not use Adobe plugins.
Cultures who outlaw dickwads are at the mercy of those who define the term "dickwad." Wait until your favorite religion/race/affiliation/cereal-brand is a "hate crime."
This is why, as a morally and theologically conservative Christian, I would describe myself as libertarian. The more power you give the government to enforce your views, the more power you give the government to use against you.
they are still JRPGs, and the industry (outside of Japan) has grown. Western RPGs keep growing and innovating. I feel like Western developers learned from Japan back in the 16 bit era, but Japanese developers are stuck in a time warp. There is more to life than turn based combat and angsty teenage heroes.
Yep. I have (somewhere) in my library the gospels of Peter, Thomas and Mary. (No, not Paul - definitely Thomas). These were 'excised' from the canonical bible over the last two thousand years or so. Were this the middle ages I'd be posting as an AC to avoid being burnt at the stake.
Have you ever read the Gnostic Gospels? They don't sound anything like the rest of the New Testament. They sound like they were (surprise!) written by Gnostics.
Is that these robotic workers won't be spending their hard earned cash in brick-and-mortar, mom-and-pop, stores.
Or maybe, just like with online retailers and digital distribution, there really aren't big downsides. Cheaper production > cheaper product > people have more money to spend elsewhere > more disposable income > more markets and more business opportunities.
How about the people who footed his cell bill the whole time he was using cloned numbers? He says all they had to do was dispute the bill, but he's assuming they had the time/energy to dispute and that the carrier agreed to drop the charges.
He conned countless employees into wasting who knows how many hours of productivity.
He installed backdoor software at every turn, leaving the systems continually compromised.
He continually abused people's good faith and manipulated them into doing what he wanted. He says he wants to give that one Social Security worker, Ann, a kiss. I doubt she would take him up on that offer if she realized that the whole time she spent on the phone with him, he was a fugitive who was using her to carry out vendettas against people and stake out his own fraudulent identity.
He lets himself off the hook too easily

I really enjoyed his book, but it's clear that if you ask him, he hardly ever hurt anyone. It's hard to believe a lot of what he says, since it comes from someone who achieved most of his goals by nonstop lying.
I could pardon someone for being carried away and emotional while recalling actual molestation. It's excessive and counter-productive, but it's understandable.
Slashdot Mirror
the hackers never actually misused their control over them in any way
Can we agree that that hacking into a satellite is, by definition, misuse? That there is no proper use in this scenario?

I don't get it. If you don't have a rocket to get astronauts to the fuel depot, what good is the depot? Can someone explain this to me?
A simple, "... I hardly know 'er!" would suffice.
Truck drivers. Military (and before you cry about being killed, there are--surprise surprise--four branches and many jobs in the military).

You have to remember that your company has no loyalty to you.
He works for a small company, and that's not always the case.

I like having the keys, but I haven't tried touch typing on the new one, either. It may be sufficient for the few times I use the KB.

I take it you don't have kids
I don't want my kids to learn things from Shrek.
Those unassuming little RC cars on mars that survived so long did a fair bit more extraterrestrial data gathering
Opportunity is still going.
I would not trust the electric company with my refrigerator either.
I hate to break it to you, but unless you generate your own power, the electric company can still shut off your refrigerator.
Are you suggesting that $330 million gone missing is a small problem?
They will have more:
processing power
ram
program space
I/Os
The reason someone torrents from work is because they can do it while hiding behind someone else's liability.
Because that season of True Blood is worth so much more than your job.

Seriously, if you ever want to despair for the fate of humanity being placed in our youth, go creep around Gamestop for a few tens of minutes.
No thanks. In my experience they tend to smell like middle school locker rooms.
