My only experience with Unity is seeing how its Oculus Rift support has made rapid prototyping of games possible. The headset was out for literally days before the first demos started popping up.
The only math I use at my job is doing Euler problems during breaks... Other than discrete math, and another class called something like math for decision making. Calc 1-2-3, applied stats, linear algebra? Never use 'em for actual work. I know they're useful if you want to go to grad school, though.
Some wheat scarcity would do good for my state (Kansas)... down with GMO! Up with wheat prices!
My only real issue with GMO is the company that designs it claiming infringement when it's their own damn plant's fault that it spread with the wind into another farmer's field.
My parents bought one when it came out in 1986, but I didn't start programming it 'til around 1992 (I was born in '86). My brother was studying computer science in college at the time and he'd come home on holidays and in the summer and teach me how to write code in BASIC.:) My parents hung onto that thing until it finally broke in 1995, and they got a Pentium 1, which I started using Visual Basic on. I didn't actually use a bracketed language until C and Java in college. And now I have a job working with VB.NET... hah.
If you read the patent, I'm pretty sure 2-factor auth methods that are actually used today don't apply.
According to a first step, the user sends a qualifying identification of the data input apparatus together with a request for the generation or for the selection of a transaction authorization number TAN or of comparable password from a data file from the data input apparatus to an authorization computer. In a second step the authorization computer generates the transaction authorization number TAN or the comparable password or selects them form a data file. According to a third step, the authorization computer sends the transaction authorization number TAN or the comparable password over a second transmission path different from the first transmission path to a monitor, for example a pager. According to a fourth step, the user reads this transaction authorization number TAN or the comparable password from the receiver and enters the transaction authorization number TAN or the comparable password into the data input apparatus. According to a fifth step, this transaction authorization number TAN or the comparable password is transmitted to the authorization computer. According to a sixth step, the authorization computer verifies the validity of the transaction authorization number TAN or of the comparable password in order to establish or switch free, according to a seventh step, a connection between the data input apparatus and the receiver unit.
Some of those steps just don't apply to modern 2-factor authentication. In all two factor auth I'm aware of, you send your request, password, -and- generated key all at the same time. I'm mainly thinking of how my 2-factor auth works to sign in to work remotely - I have a fob that generates my key for me, I don't have to request it. I'm sure a properly motivated tech expert could skew things to make it look like this type of authorization is covered by this patent, though.

Shocked? Have they heard of youtube? Not to mention drain cleaner + aluminum foil produces a toxic gas - much safer to use dry ice + water(though you have to transport the ice I suppose)
Just because nobody was hurt doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly stupid. Though I agree the punishment was harsh, certainly if anything the science teacher should be in trouble for allowing this to happen.

Hate to break it to you, but lots of people do this. Just go wardriving with a packet analyzer.
Raise your hand if you just went to your favorite domain registrar and tried to get westorange.org, com, net, etc.
*raises*
(btw, westorange.xxx is available, but that's a bit much for me for just a prank)
You need to work on your math: 15*4 = 60, 15*5 = 85.
You need to work on your math
15*5 = ?
Just sayin'
Because I'm easy come, easy go
There better be a prize for this, or I just wasted a number of minutes of my life reading the challenge.
Go argue against these guys.
You and I clearly hang around different kinds of Mennonites. (I attended a Mennonite college for a year, vanity was not lacking :P )
But how would we get our live video feeds from storm chasers!?
Can Maxis sue Broad Sustainable Building for prior art?
...
(yes I know Maxis didn't come up with arcologies, it's a joke)
(afterthought: realistically, of course, they'll just cut your service after you hit your overage cap)
I'll take your minimum data plan, please.... -sets up wireless hotspot-

Just imagine a scientist going "nobody move! I've dropped the stylus"

He wants to hang on to the option for when he eventually loses majority in the Senate.
Just dump the whole lot into the blast chamber, reduce it all to plasma and condense whatever you need from the atoms as they cool.
Where we're going, we don't /need/ roads!

I'd like to see the scavenger hunts you've been on.
ending with the proof of self being required at polling places
You mean I won't be able to vote as Tom Cruise anymore?

Probably more out of boredom, like blowing up GI-Joes with firecrackers.
Exactly! That was more of a 'oh look, a way for my friend to make money.'
