But the parent is the owner of the credit card and they most certainly can be held to contract. Take your kid to a restaurant and have him order whatever he wants. You, the parent, will be billed for it. Unless of course you go to one of these eateries that claims "kids under (age) eat free!". You cannot duck parental responsibility in this way. If you give your kid unsupervised access to your credit card this is an opportunity to actually BE a parent and establish consequences and boundaries. Not complain to the damned FTC...
If this were true, then you would expect corporations to ignore labor laws, tax laws and pretty much every other rule and regulation from how many toilets per employee to what goes in the First Aid kits. Yet somehow corporations manage to comply with all these little rules and regulations despite the fact that doing so involves a cost. Therefore I don't think the argument is as clear cut as you make it.
Now on the other hand if you want to argue that the guy in charge of hiring the techs in the IT department has no idea what security is and is relying on junior employees to "provide" security, then I am all for you.
Gee, here's a thought: old, seasoned folks one day will pass their knowledge down the line to the new generation. We can call it "education". Heck, we might even be able to charge money for it!
Maybe one day people will take little Bobby Tables seriously. Frankly there is no excuse for stupidity. But you must bear in mind also that we will never run out of stupid people.
These are also the kind of people who also need training wheels on their inappropriately named bicycles and warning labels on their plastic bags and even then manage to get into trouble.
We have a different definition of testing. Testing != compile it and see if it runs. Testing != hiring some minimum wage loser to tell you exactly what you want to hear.
It's only a stock exchange. Why the fuck should they bother testing it first, right?
This just goes to underline that QA does not exist in the software world.
You can. However even the best mirror absorbs some light even when most of it is reflected. If the laser is powerful enough to heat the reflecting surface the heat itself stops it from being "perfectly smooth", meaning it reflects less and absorbs more heat, warping it more, etc until you have burned through the mirror's backing and into whatever it is you wanted to punch a hole through.
I'm sure there are other ways to degrade a laser's performance, like using smoke or chaff, etc, which are probably much simpler than trying to maintain an extremely shiny, polished surface facing the laser at all times in this dirty, dusty world.
With the other minor technical detail that it doesn't exist. But when has reality ever stopped physicists? Give me a lever of infinite length and an immovable place to stand...
Er, you know that most virtual machines have a "snapshot" function, right?
You can just reboot with a brand-spanking new machine every time. That way all they can narrow you down to is anyone with a fresh install of whatever OS/browser you happen to be using.
From TFA: "Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward-looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space."
Replace planet Earth with Germany and space with Russia, and you have almost a verbatim translation of Hitler's justification for operation Barbarossa.
If I could I would remind the speaker than in the long run, there is no survival, no matter how many worlds we infest.
Of course we should be concerned. It's immediately obvious that these coronal holes are caused by driving gas-guzzling SUV's, the indiscriminate use of Vuvuzelas and of course Sharia law. I propose a new tax on all economic growth in order to solve this problem.

I'll just whip those Chinese children a little harder to increase production a few more percent so that you're happy.

Or perhaps speech recognition software has advanced to the point where files can be scanned for words like "my credit card number is"...

Funny, that's what it means in English, too.

All is well, provided Facebook uses the same time-zones as the phone company. Or she could have updated her page an hour or so earlier...

Someone tell that guy about the gamma-knife...

So that just means you need more cats.
Imagine if Microsoft wrote a EULA prohibiting the Blue Screen of Death (BSD)! Oh, wait...
Printed.... what part of printed and printing press and Guttenberg did you fail to understand?
However the Bible, the world's first and oldest printed book, fails to mention any aspect of this story, including the General's involvement.
Who are we to believe? The oldest newspaper, or the Bible?
Slashdot officially sucks.
What could possibly go wrong... Next, your phone's contact list is automatically forwarded to facebook.

Not to mention PETA...

Yes I am immediately inclined to believe someone who uses a word like "there're".
