    I think Steve is just as happy as Wox and as someone else just replied why can't they both be happy. If Steve wanted Woz's life their is no reason he oculd have it, he could retire and teach children too if he wanted to.

    Am I wrong or did I miss something? I thought it said student labs with laptops not having students to buy laptops. Did I miss something? I don'[t see any issues if you a half way descent(don't crae to spell check) service plan. Our company 100000+ switched from desktops to laptops a few years ago. No problems.

    Good point. their are cases for and against which is why analogies don't work well as I have said many times. If you lose your check card and someone uses it fraudulently even if you have your PIN number written in ink on the back the financial institution still has to reimburse you. I think it's the consumer credit card protection act or something. Anyway that's an example when you can be completely stupid and you still don't take any of the fault.

    In this case no personal data was stolen so they don't have to take responsibility for that.

    I just don't like people rushing to place blame on people or things other than the people who comitted the act. It's too much like victim blaming.

    The gun shop like all analogies on /. is ill fit to the subject. There are laws that gun retailers have to obey, they are no laws about securing a private network, If I am not mistaken.

    There are plenty of examples where unsecuring something doesn't make you culpible if a crime is commited by taking advantage of someone elses carlessness. Things like not locking your residence or your car come to mind

    I don't think it's a matter of beating the market or beating the odds. Comparisons to Vegas do not belong in this thread. Gambling is set up to keep the houses odds better than the player right. That's how they make money. The stock market depends on people making money to invest more. Look at all the money that is invested in to stocks. it's more than just day trader, you have pension and mutual funds etc all depending on making money over the long run.

    IMHO...

    Just wondering is it better to fix a problem before it arises or wait until it's about to bite you. I'm thinking of the /. issue with VIN's to run out soon It wasn't really a failing of VIN as it achived what it's goals were for the required time. Can't some of the same be said about IPv6.

    The article on CNN stated "The most debris-crowded area is between 550 miles and 625 miles above the Earth, Liou said, meaning the risk is less for manned flights. The international space station operates at about 250 miles altitude and space shuttle flights tend to range between 250 miles and 375 miles, he said."

    I'm guessing thats is higher than a LEO. The full article is here
