If I see you bent over, I'm guna kick you up the ass.
That's just how this world works. It's my fault, but your at some fault for bending over so easily. Good and Bad in black and white forms doesn't exist, in reality there a number of parties at blame for this.
For usablility reasons. Remember Buisness Requirements are more important than technical ones. This way the security guard for the building could sit at his desk, with solitare on screen and IE open with the web client in the other.
Clearly they got caught knapping!
I think the real problem here is the "fewer than 30 percent of the agencies using the tool had researched any legal implications."
There has been no formal consideration of storing of "personal" / "private" data.
In this case I think that a little common sense shows that it's not a big issue for drivers, if one at all.
On the other hand, as a member of that state I would expect to know what data my authorties are obtaining and storing, and how they intend to use it.
There are hundreds of "privacy" cases like this popping up all over the world. The most important thing in my opinion, is that the people obtaining the data do so according to the laws, i.e. Data Protection Act ( I assume there is a US equivilant).
This way, when someone "hacks" the stupidly insecure databases and gets a bunch of our information the authorties can inform us, and remind us that they are within the law, and then they can sleep at night. Which is important!!!
Even if this was true, and programmer's were now considered "cool", Apple wouldn't be the reason. Apple has managed to presuade a lot of people that a "good" product is what they need, and choice and variation and controll over their products is not needed. But I don't think they have made Programmers cool.
Not to stab at Apple, they area great buissness, but then so is Ryanair.
As every generation is born, the knowledge and understanding of computing in gerenal increases. Programming is taught at younger age and it's now a socially understood concept, and now it's understood I think there is an increased respect for programs and hence programmers.
Which is good, I guess.
I agree with everything about this statement except the word "never."
Never is a pretty bold word. It puts you in a pretty gutsy mindset; one that isn't entirely productive to rational scientific analysis. The word "never" is pretty commonly seen in the company of "famous last words."
There's a big difference between Collaboration and Plagiarism.
Of course, at University level it's only right that peers work together to learn, espically in programming and development as it's how we work in the real world.
Despite this one needs to take tests and produce personal course work to graduate, and these should be done alone.
At university we use to work together on similar problems to the course work we were assigned. Then we'd go away and do the work on our own.
Unfortuantly this is a grey area, because on the one hand we are trying to learn to be developers, collaborating, working together and learning off each other. On the other hand you need to produce work by yourself to prove your abilities.
Of course if Degree's were like the real world we'd copy off each other, all try and take the credit and the person that actually did the work would probably fail.

I assume that a tech guy set up the system: "here your current password is 'Password1' Please change it, for security reasons...

Some sort of Brain Cloud? Are you sure your brain is not being clouded? Also the phrase "brain chips" makes me think of food, a strange canabal food.

I've never even heard anyone's famous last words.
My latest idea is the next "My idea is the next minecraft" Just like in MC i'm taking this s**t to another level! Cue a post about recursion...
Or about those yanks that pronounce beta as bay-tah.
I say potato, you say potato, as long as we never speak in person and communicate soley over the internet, everything will be fine (TM).
