I went to a University in the US starting in 1996 and graduating in 2000. My first engineering class required the HP48 from day one and it was the calculator we all used for the next four years of Electrical Engineering curriculum. I have still used an HP (use an HP50G now) through my entire engineering career. It appears there have been American universities out there for a while that can appreciate the product that HP produces.
If you want to make a game to encourage kids to be healthy, make a really shitty game like the orginal E.T. for Atari. Kids will play it for about 2 minutes before turning it off and going outside to make a tree-house.
In my opinion, making a good game and encouraging physical fitness and healthy eating are mutually-exclusive activities. I can tell when I have bought a really good game by the amount of time I have been stuck in the house glued to the game and all the garbage food I eat while playing it because I'm too busy to get up and prepare a healthy meal.
The only thing that I can think of is submitting the same password hundreds or thousands of times, and averaging the amount of time. I'd think that this would appear to be a denial-of-service attack.
This would be the way to do it. Just spread the attempts out over a week to not DoS and get a good cross-section of different network congestion times. Considering that OpenID is a "single point of failure" spending a week cracking a password is definitely worth it to get access to a ton of sites for one user ID.
It seems to me that this article is completely based around the iPhone and the AT&T data plan subscriptions. Does this guy forget that desktops/notebooks will still outnumber smartphones 20k/1? Almost everyone that owns a "Smartphone" owns at least 1 (if not more) expensive desktop/notebook computers that are connecting to the internet through the cable company. Also, I get the feeling that the smartphone subscription model might just be a re-hash of what happened in the early days of the AOL-style dial-up internet. Maybe things will start up this way and open up into much more free content and services as the market grows....just like the original internet did. Horrible article.
What a coincidence! Luckily, we have been pouring hundreds of thousands of tons of ordinance into Afghanistan for the past 9 years so the soil should be nice and loose to dig up the ore. Genius plan.
I'm not very impressed considering a billion-dollar industry is founded mostly on sending "the general public" unsolicited links (in broken english, no less) in World of Warcraft that they willingly visit and then volunteer their login credentials.

they are watching scat porn, roman showers, and even some kinky shit.
If scat porn and roman showers don't fall under "kinky" in your world, I would hope to never view your harddrive contents or web history. Carry on, soldier.
"Paris Hilton's former business partner in Orlando's Club Paris has a history of accusations of sexual misconduct or rape.
The Orlando Sentinel has uncovered at least three other incidents in which women claim that Fereidoun "Fred" Khalilian sexually abused them. In 2005, a passerby called police to report that Khalilian tried to rape a woman outside the club. The alleged victim turned out to be Khalilian's girlfriend at the time, Heather Dodt.
The entrepreneur was not arrested at the scene, after he claimed he had diplomatic immunity. "I'm a diplomat. You can't arrest me. I own Club Paris," the police report states. After investigating, police discovered he didn't have immunity and filed a misdemeanor battery charge. The case has not yet gone to trial. Meanwhile, TMZ dug up some video showing "Fred" at work in the club.
Fred Khalilian Also in 2005, a 21-year-old employee of the club told police that Khalilian invited her to his home, where he allegedly pulled down her pants and had sex with her. The victim says she didn't immediately call cops because she was fearful of losing her job. Weeks later, she says Khalilian punched her in the face, twice, after keeping her at the nightclub after closing. She then filed a police report against him. It's not yet known how this case was resolved.
In another incident, a female patron at Club Paris attacked Khalilian after thinking he sexually fondled her from behind while she was dancing on the stage, but an investigation failed to pinpoint Khalilian as the molester.
The club owner was arrested yesterday on charges of battery, sexual battery and false imprisonment, stemming from allegations made by a 20-something woman, who says that he raped her at his home last Friday. "Fred" was released last night after posting a $6,000 bond.

No one is selling this as a perfectly clean war. It is orders of magnitude cleaner than previous wars thanks to smart munitions. It wasn't long ago that we were firebombing civilian cities in large scale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II). Think about those civilian casualties against the meager casualty rates today.
Other examples:
Operation Linebacker 1 and 2
Hanoi
Nagasaki
Hiroshima
etc
I was kinda thinking this same thing also. I think it might be some kind of benefit for jumping on the technology early because it seems like once they release a new iDevice, the next generations are released at 6 month intervals after that with much more stable and robust software (i.e. iPod, iPhone, etc).
I personally wait a bit after new tech comes out for the problems to get smoothed out, etc. Sucks for me in this regard.

...can only be described as 'insanely great'. Take my word for it.
Most of the reports coming in describe the alternate dimension as 'insanely lonely." ;)

Love it.
Never look back.

child porn, utility hacking guides, and terrorist activity
Well, that narrows it down.....except opposite.
IDWSLFOID (I don't write security libraries for Open ID) but I would guess that it's because they use a stream cipher instead of a block cipher.
Genesis made a really good song about this...I think it was called "Land Of Confucian." Check it out.
That movie makes me cringe.

Jessica 6: A friend of mine went on carousel. Now he's gone.
Logan 5: Yes, well, I'm sure he was renewed.
Jessica 6: He was killed.

Please, kind sir, don't bring facts and objective figures into a sensationalist iPhone/Apple business-practice-criticism thread.
then only the penultimate fool would see this as responsible investing and not patent gambling and recreation with your surplus funds.
Explain to me how the "second to last" fool plays into this scheme again.
How many servers and what is the approximate amount of data that you need to backup?
Someone let me know when they decriminalize the use of unsecured automobiles and females and I'll start packing my stuff.

Even if they did, multiply that half hour to hour of tour across an enterprise, and it is significant.
Block facebook and other garbage sites from your users for a day or two and you'll more than make up the time lost.
