The CTO said what he said because the department TRULY is out of touch with the real world if it believes that hacking is an 'extreme example' of 'behavior that is unacceptable in a computing professional'.
Hackathons, which involve unusual solutions to problems, often using hidden, undisovered features of various products, are becoming increasingly popular, and often you'll have BIG companies sponsoring these same competitions.
Moreover, the dept is wrong in its comment because CS as a profession is rather different from software engineering. I don't think formulating more efficient algorithms and solving various mathematical problems (basically CS RESEARCH) has much in common with do with software engineering. In fact, I'd rather that my employee found a problem with my system than an end user doing so.
In India, we use metal chains to attach the luggage to some solid fixture. This, along with locking the luggage (obviously) mostly deters any opportunistic thieves.
312,000 million is a large number of people for any country to have.;-)
Also, how does Bollywood come into this discussion? That's the Indian film industry.
Actually scientists have to make compromises ALL the time. Lack of funding, meeting grant requirements, etc. all force them to compromise in a certain manner, say on work hours, or overtime, w/e, while ensuring that the quality of their output is NOT compromised.
Which is exactly what most politicians fail to do. They compromise on the output, while extracting huge sums of money from taxpayers, thus making scientists better policy makers than politicians.
Moreover, science, by nature, is ever changing, and a scientist HAS to be open to different viewpoints, which is more than can be said of any politician.
Actually, when you have just a a couple of apps open at the same time on a iPod Touch on iOS4, say Safari and a game in, say Temple Run in the background, I notice significant lag when Safari renders webpages. In fact, even when I don't have any any other app open, just a couple of heavy pages, Safari lags. A lot. I take good care of my device, and ensure that memory usage isn't high by clearin RAM through SbSettings. Scrolling the through the song list on the music player on a touch is certainly laggy when you have 1000+ songs.
I have experienced lag firsthand on iOS devices, and on poorly designed Android devices.
As I said, there is no perfect OS. iOS devices, by virtue of their powerful GPUs, make iOS feel smooth, but when the system is strained just a little, you do notice the lag.
Having spent significant time with iOS devices, I can safely say that the notion that they do not lag is FALSE. Having just installed iOS 6 on an iPhone 4, the lag between just opening and closing basic applications is definitely noticeable. Hell, even my father's iPad 2 lags, and it runs on iOS 4!
My S2 Skyrocket, on the other hand, runs Jellybean 4.1.2 just fine, and cases of lag are rare, if any.
The fact is, all devices, get laggy with use, and your bias against Android makes you ignore the lag that the shiny animations of iOS induce.
Actually, it makes a lot of sense, because Google is involved in a larger number of technologies, such as mapping, search, big data and so on.
Apple, meanwhile, focus mainly on hardware.
Makes sense really.

Yeah, heat death is most probably how the world will end, unless some radical new insight is thought up.

I was calling out the ISPs for their poor service, not Google.
Sadly this model does not look like changing any time soon.
The Internet IS DATA. I don't get ISPs. They provide low quality service at exorbitant prices, and then complain about clients using their services.

Isn't that what's actually happening now? ;-)

There is no perfect, lag-free device.
That was meant to be 'its', before any Grammar Nazis appear.
Seems like Nintendo's trying hard to interest the adult gamers in it's consoles.

Apophis was a large evil Egyptian snake demon that opposed order, and wanted to eat the sun.
Well obesity is now a major problem in most developed countries, so no surprise here.
But sadly most police forces are actually incapable of gathering such evidence,
Actually, wouldn't the evidence just be rejected, instead of the case being dropped entirely?
