There are three things that are required for slander that SCO fails to meet.
1) They have to know the statement is false. Ok, maybe they do actually meet this, but it's damn hard to prove.
2) The statement has to be issued with the intent of causing harm to the party suing. IBM could sue them, not you. Saying someone is a criminal isn't slanderous to the friends of the person, even though it could reflect badly on them.
3) It has to be said. If it's in print it's libel (thanks, Spiderman).
As always, I, ANAL. Offer void in continental US, Alaska and Hawaii. Your mileage may vary.
The article didn't say they were solid platinum. The muscles are composed of platinum atoms sandwiched between two layers of some other kind of substance.
Lots of people are comparing this to making it legal for someone to come into an unlocked house and eat the food.
That's a bad analogy. Why? Because there is a widely growing movement of setting up open networks that anyone can connect to. There's no widespread movement to leave homes unlocked and free food in the kitchen.
This bill doesn't give people the right to break WEP encryption or spoof MAC filtering. They probably couldn't even use it for defense if the SSID had the word 'Private' or something similar in it. The bill simply recognizes the growth of free connections and tells people that if they don't want to be mistaken for a free connection then it's their responsibility to do something about it.
I've heard this question before. You don't need to know which is lighter and which is heavier. That actually is part of the problem.
You do, however, need to state how many marbles there are. I think in the usually phrased question its 12 and you can accomplish it in 3 weighings.
Its a fairly stupid thing for a test though. Either the person answers quickly because in the past they've read how to do that problem or they once spent a few hours solving it before, they don't answer because its honestly a pretty difficult problem to work out, or they take at least 15 minutes to half an hour in rare cases and solve it.
So 95% of the time you get someone who can regurgitate something they read or who doesn't know a solution to an obscure problem. I guess its good for locating that elusive 5%.
Then again, perhaps some of the questions are designed to check the character of an applicant. How many gas stations in the US? Does the person make a guess or just admit that they don't know?
1) Consumers don't need to remember the exact shape of their key. They just need to remember to take the key with them.
2 I'll bet you're wrong. Few people would design keys with easy to determine schemes. Why? Because there's no point to it. You can't really make a pretty pattern and its no harder to remember one pattern over another. You just have to remember to take your key.
3) Most locks are ridiculously easy to pick. I read a web site, ordered a series of lock picks ($30) and in half an hour I was able to pick your average house lock. Your average lock is a perfect example of security through obscurity.

.50 a gram.
That said, I'm still sceptical about

The fact that he is in the Ivy school is proof enough that he must have 'somthing'in that brain of his!

I don't know what's scarier; that your auditors were able to demand a list of all passwords or that you were able to give it to them.
Passwords should not be stored in plaintext format. Only the results of a reasonable one-way hash of the password should be stored.
Then again, you did say this was many years ago.
Of course you also said it was for a bank.
