Ah, but I wasn't wondering why they went to school at all. I was wondering why they were so keen on extracurricular activities which as their very name implies are additional (and not compulsory) to the regular curriculum, IF they require such unusual invasion of privacy and freedoms. In other words, what makes being in the band, or the [some sports] team, or debating team, or yearbook, so valuable that students will sign papers that limit their first amendment rights, requires them to piss in a bottle on demand, or whatever else some administrator came up with?
I wonder how this will stand up in court. Would having students participating in extracurricular activities sign a pledge be sufficient to give the school authority over matters unrelated to the school? Of course that would still leave it flapping in the wind with regard to students who do not participate in e.a.
That just leaves me (a non-US citizen and fortunately more that a decade out of highschool) wondering what the big deal is about extracurricular activities. In other words, why would any sane kid subject themselves to silly pledges, ill conceived policies, random drug testing, etc, in order to spend more time at or around school? Is it really that difficult to find something worthwhile to do on their own or with their own friends?
"Next he'll be sucking down information just in case he needs it--and that's the type of action that upsets a user's rights."
Maybe forgotten, but that's part of what police work is about. You walk the beat, get to know the population, learn the patterns, and when something happens you probably have some idea already of where to look or who to talk to. It's the whole idea behind having regular community / school / campus officers rather than having patrols by whatever unit happens to be around.
Having been on the inside of digital police work, we should be damn happy that people leak information and hubris, and are generally clueless as far as digital security is concerned. People get caught through their own sloppyness and boasting, and hours of hard work from officers, rather than from the police being particularly technologically advanced. The referenced article is another example of this: regular officers spending time going through lots of potential evidence rather than advanced technoly.
A new mainboard revision will be out (expected) late Q1 or early Q2 2006. Of course you're SOL on raid controller support under Solaris anyway until Solaris 10 update 2, expected Q2/Q3 2006, unless they release a seperate patch or package earlier. Solaris applies to both sparc and x86 versions by the way, for example X2100 and X4100/4200 series do have the controller on board but currently not supported under Solaris/x86.
We've got 3 T2000 running, and I'm trying to hold off on purchasing more until the new mainboard's out. They're nice test boxes. I hope there will either be an upgrade/recall or some creativity with the maintenance contracts to upgrade the boards of the current ones.
That 2 depends. I have my hands in 2 markets: financials (stock traders) and automotive. The financials tend to have the latest and greatest, but as standard as you can get. The faster stuff is the more opportunity to make (or lose) money, and being standard reduces the time spent on stuff that doesn't work as expected and that you have to look after. In that market you're unlikely to have to support more than the 2 most current versions of IE and Firefox/Mozilla. They do want everything fast though - a second delay can turn a good trade into a bad one. The auto people, especially smaller shops, tend to run equipment and versions that are on average much older. If it works, why change it. It's a business tool, and you wouldn't replace a servicable lift or compressor either. When looking at small independents computers are often set up by a local computer guy (often a customer) too, so they're much more likely to contain whatever flavor of software the computer guy likes - and if he explained it well the shop will be happy with it. So if you're trying to sell automotive supplies to professionals, you better support a larger variety and more versions of browsers. A second delay isn't life threatening though.
In other words: look at your particular customer base and what they're running, then tailor your efforts towards their expectations.
I think you're overestimating the value people (with some exceptions) attach to the history of a room. It's a motel/hotel room. Who knows what happened in it?
No, I don't "want" to sleep in a room where someone was raped, or killed, or whatever. Assuming the establishment keeps up with cleaning however, I don't "not want" to sleep there either. It's a room I rent, for a night or a couple of nights. If it's clean, what happened prior or subsequent to my occupation of the room is of no concern to me.

Sounds like rather a lot, but maybe that's a.us thing? My experience (.nl) is usually about 2, maybe 3 interviews.
current job: 2 job interview plus a 3-hour interview for my security clearance
previous job: phone screening plus 2 interviews
job before that: 2 interviews
3 jobs before that (all on-staff with contracting companies (Ordina/Syntegra/Parity)): 1 interview per job
job before that: 2 questions, 4 minutes, hired on the spot.
Fabs actually depreciate quite rapidly. By the time you've got your fab running the next step down in component size, or the next step up in wafer size, will already be waiting and you get to do it all over again. And the big boys (Intel, AMD, IBM, Motorola, &c) have little choice but to stay on the cutting edge.
If the problem remains unresolved (and the domain unusable for the original purpose) maybe selling katie.com to a porn company would be a good way to get both some remuneration for the trouble and some one-upmanship at Penguin and Katie Tarbox.
I'm guessing that domain might be hot property by now. Dealing with a "niche" porn company (I'll leave that to y'alls imagination) might be even more profitable, and a lot better still at raising bloodpressure at PP.

And how long will it be until an enterprising concerned citizen (netizen?) will prove that it's insufficiently secured and post this data on the internet, for all to see?
Next step, sex offender type posters?
