That exactly is the reason why you should never give hacking ideas to idiots. Would you really raise the bar from doing something for which you just can be fired to something which implies at least 2-3 crimes (circumventing security measures, sabotaging, wrongly planting evidence suggesting that others are involved in criminal acts) and at least 3 possibilities for civil lawsuits (for trouble finding, possibly for compensating you co-workers, a contractual punishment, and abuse of your working time)? And this just for torrenting something?
Then you are an idiot. Believe me. Do this and you will most likely get caught and get a much harsher punishment.
If you don't believe me, then google for: "Displaying MAC Addresses Detected by a Switch" procurve
If you don't believe that you admin will be a little on red alert after seeing the highly erratic network behaviour and go to such kind of low-level diagnosis, well, thats your choice.
The university computing center where i studied did that a long time ago. I found it overall quite non-intrusive. I was an admin of a smaller group there and received the complaints from the central if something weird was going on. I preferred this much over some cease-and-desist clauses because it made sure i could collaborate with them wholeheartedly instead of referring them to go via the administration to reach me in the official way.
If they sent me an email telling that one computer transferred 500GB in one month (that was in 2004/2005) i would just call them to figure out who is the culprit and what happened (and fry his balls). Instead when they forwarded me an email from some copyright troll claiming something then all i would say is: "i verified that this service is not active right now on this machine. For further legal steps call the dean of the faculty"
just talk to the top ten users, if they have no explicit reason for consuming so much data. If they cant explain it, search their computer, if they have done something wrong fire them and make sure everybody in the office knows why.
Depends. The combination of influencing android devices quite directly, combining with gmail id (many people dont like to sign on multiple times), map services, services like latitute, google places with cheking and money to acquire a lot of companies who have local competence and bussinesses already listed there makes them a serious competitor.
My interpretation of the beta for google+ is that they need to figure out
a) how to monetize on it
b) how not to step on the feet of their own customers
c) prevent any really big data protection problem (which would give the a bad name)
like flying into certain low-altitude (under the radar?) formations and certain intervals in certain paths trough valleys (helicopters) with increasing or decreasing number of helicopters in the chain during an hour, and different, but systematic procedures of leaving the valley in the range directly visible from the border or flying into another (connected) valley.
To me it looked like going in a controlled way into the radar range and confusing about the numbers of helicopters in a specific valley. I always thought it was to test procedures to confuse their radar systems and verify the effect by eavesdropping (which i know they did, at least when it came to the thing directly at the border).
But i am eager to hear if you have another, simpler explanation (i mean maybe if was just normal pilot training or the pilot where flying it for fun - it is for sure an beautiful and interesting area to fly).
You never kill innocents while playing for one side. They are either camouflaged GDI agents or NOD Terrorists. Only if you play the other side you realize you may have killed civilians.
And in that respect its may a very realistic game.
I am not sure how "one does not need a gbit connection". Even a small file server in 2006 could output more than 70MB/sec (practical test on large files).
a) it is completely acceptable that a student checks the work he turns in. Often this work is a collaboration. I personally was involved in (at least) two situations where my grade or the acceptance of a homework/lab course report i handed in was endangered by my co-worker recklessly copying (what was worse than that was that this was silently tolerated by the supervisors, wherefore the worst 25percent of the students all did it). Whenever you hand something in which is partially not written by yourself, it gets dangerous. Would i study now and know what i know now (that people are idiots) i would use such a service for self-protection.
b) Usually it is easy to spot plagiarism is you have feeling for language. I personally find it more difficult to blend a piece of text of somebody else into my work than just writing it from my own understanding. The typical transition in a students work which contains a plagiarized paragraphs is so extreme that it hurts my brain.
Why should the plane demonstrate whether it has ability to navigate under a certain type of jamming? I lived close to the inner-german border at cold war times and i saw the funny patterns which were flown, obviously to test the enemy radar capabilities and confuse them.
You only remember the titles from 10 years ago which where good but not the 90% of crap in the shelf. Not you look at the shelf and wonder why there is 90% crap.
I would say: it does hurt to read it even if you dont program relational databases. Some of the thoughts there also dont hurt for general programming (e.g. the section on undefined values)
Interesting approach, but the linked article is so bad even i had to scratch my head for a few minutes and follow the link to the company to understand it (Sapphire is a nearly perfect insulator, even at low temperatures, what the linked article calls glue seems to be the (epitaxially grown?) HTC SC material).
to address some comments here: the use of liquid nitrogen is not the special thing here. Cables cooled by liquid nitrogen have been in test for a long time.
What i am missing is a comparison to other superconducting cables, so AFAIU:
Normally to make HTC SC wire you grow HTC crystals (a dark art by itself, much like cooking), crush these and press it into a metal band to be able to bend the conductor and you essentially hope that somehoe the grains inside the filaments touch each other (they do). The current is only carried in the surface of the grains anyway and these HTCs are brittle, so you can in principle use a very stable insulator core (like sapphire), grow a thin layer of HTC on it (of which you can control the composition perfectly) and save the effort of providing additional mechanical stability.
The problem is: its getting worse with each restructuring. They try to push in more "own content" to the front pages. Earlier they have been an excellent directory/new aggregator, now the only reason to go there for most people i know is the fact that they have a old email address there...
The last 5 years they have been completely without a concept what to do long-term with their site. Various attempts of offering things beyond and more and more irrelevant directory/search have been half-assed and could not compete even with shots of small companies at the same topic.
Yahoo had attempts and some thing going in the direction of social networks going on before others, but they they did not make it a round thing.

first demonstrate you can deal with google+ then we give you money.
playing it for 3h per day instead of learning theoretical physics in the 3rd semester was actually good for me?

i also find it weird. Potentiostats are standard lab-course projects.
that there is a button to completely turn off metro and switch back to win2k-style menus (yes, i am doing that usually).

Well lets buy it from Russia then. IMHO one plant to produce Pu238 is enough.

make sure you computer is 100% clean, no cracked soft etc.

There is no way to learn without failing. Start something small and let it grow as needed while trying to maintain quality.
If google now starts to throw local competence buy buying local companies into that scheme, then it gets scary.

Or android and bada at the same time.
But identifying a problem is not identical to finding the correct solution.
I talked about uncontrolled systems.
No because email depends on many more uncontrolled systems which can be hacked.
