MPs voting their conscience and/or constituents' interest is what's supposed to happen. The one blindly voting the party line is technically a traitor.
Your adult brain learned the rules from its environment with no assumptions about what those rules were.
So very, very wrong. Well over 90% of what the brain does, even consciously, is either instinctive or a behaviour learned almost entirely from instinctive triggers.
Study someone with autism to see what the brain has to deal with when even a few of the built-in assumptions are missing.
I believe the abuse is far more important to employers than the low salary.
We see this with the H-1B phenomenon. Employers are actually perfectly willing to pay fair wages for a 40-hour week if they can make the indentured servant work for 80 or 90.
Because they want someone who isn't entry-level but who can be treated that way. They may, however, settle for entry-level quality work before giving up on the low salary and poor working conditions.

The point of Muslim iconoclasm is that Mohammud is merely God's messenger and is not divine himself. The Muslims who are "offended" are the ones who don't actually understand why they have the rule in the first place. And why the rule doesn't apply to non-Muslims in the first place.
(Ironically much like Christian iconoclasm while it lasted.)
Very little of the qualities identified are in any way unique. Lots of places around the world (Waterloo, Canada, for one) have created very similar environments, simply on a smaller scale. Silicon Valley is merely the first and the biggest, and will keep its place with a little bit of effort, or lose it just as easily.
A fifteen-year-old cannot be expected to think through the long-term consequences of his actions the same as an adult, but a fifteen-year-old is perfectly well aware that tampering with grades and arson are wrong and are actions that will be punished.
It's not all or nothing. He can get some leniency because of his age but neither he nor society would benefit from pretending he could not understand what he was doing.
And, like it or not, Gates did actually have a lot of talent at what he did. His problem was that all he knew were personal computers - personal as in standalone and non-networked.

My guess is because he knows how to use a dictionary. Such as the Oxford English Dictionary.
Well, you cue several lawsuits to queue up.
The left-wing assumes people never abuse a system, and are shocked when they are forced to acknowledge that it happens.
The right-wing assumes everyone will abuse a system, whatever it is, and usually starting with themselves.
If it benefits the client 50% of the time, we should assume it's error.
(So obviously it's not error.)
*Threats* are already crimes. Opinions are protected by freedom of speech.
Let me be the first to say that the mayor of Granby is an idiot.
One of times when Bush said something so stupid that it was actually true.
No-one hates freedom, obviously, but a lot of people hate Americans for their attitude that freedoms are theirs and no-one else's.

But that could simply be a function of something else as well.
Now you're getting it.
The age of the infrastructure is definitely part of the situation, but there is more to it than that.
I'm not sure noticing massive re-occurrences of the same IP address really counts as using 'forensic tools'.
Microsoft has lowered the expectations of the whole of human civilization.

I'm pretty sure they meant "digital naive".

It might not look as good, but it's good enough.
The PHB may think it's good enough, and on rare occasion be correct, but mostly be horribly, horribly wrong.
No, the correct answer is to walk out of the interview and call a lawyer.
Obviously they didn't invent warp drive.
Warp drive works by warping space-time. An artificial inertial drive is something completely different.
Unless it turns out it isn't...
the new cult that thinks mankind was created by spaghetti.
Not just any spaghetti.
A synagogue is private property. Guests of a synagogue are subject to their rules.
Now, hold the BBQ next door to a synagogue, and if it provokes an *armed* response, then we have an analogy.
Otherwise you've merely underlined the barbarism of mainstream Muslim thinking.
And if your thinking is "Muslims can't help themselves," well, you're a worse bigot than the "Draw the Prophet" people.

You have so completely missed the point of why these people are heroes.

What kind of kid who at least *thinks* he might be capable of hacking the school's system wouldnt be aware of cloud storage/backup?
A kid much better informed as to how antiquated his school's computers are than you are.
You gonna destroy the childs life because of a stupid mistake a child would make....
You gonna destroy an adult's life because of a stupid mistake an adult would make? That's what the criminal justice system is *supposed* to do.
That's unfair - Gates was also very lucky.
And, like it or not, Gates did actually have a lot of talent at what he did. His problem was that all he knew were personal computers - personal as in standalone and non-networked.
