$50 is not enough for your changes. You can open a ticket on Rentacoder.com if you really want to get those changes done and it would cost you between $150 and $2100 USD, depending on the level of quality. (and weather you got screwed)
Google's vision isn't truly understood by everyone, IMHO. Google knew that the Open Source community would fork and port Chrome anyway and that freed up time for developers to work out the system bugs and get the thing live. Releasing the source code is a redeemable action from the many gripes that flooded about Google not offering Linux or Mac support in Chrome on launch, among other things.
Now I personally would like to see a fork that would upgrade Chrome to remove any significant Windows reliance. I don't trust Microsoft to put my interests first and therefore I don't like the idea of a browser that relies so heavily on Microsoft for security.
I'll get far more playing time out of this add-on than I have gotten out of any other recent game purchase.
Meanwhile I've been checking out gog.com and I got Fallout 1 & 2 to mess around with until WotLK.
I'm pretty excited about the new content. I have an undead warlock with 4pc t6, plus 550 resil in my pvp gear. The game recently has become rather dull as you can imagine.
Warlocks in the expansion look like they will be amazing. I'll prolly lvl a Death Knight after my main gets to endgame, but likely not before.
I had a job where my boss told me to go redo the website using whatever technology and features I thought I needed to make it excellent. He gave me two weeks time to do the first phase of moving the old content over to the new framework and coming up with some cool new ideas.
It was fun. About six days into the project, a manager came down from another branch had an interview with my boss, sat next to me while I explained the site.
The two of them had a little meeting and called me in. "We're pulling the plug."
"What? Why?"
"You're doing it wrong."
"What are you saying?"
"You should be using Dreamweaver. Everyone uses dreamweaver and you're doing hand-coding. What language was that again? PHP or ASP?"
"PHP and MySQL."
"Dreamweaver does that automatically."
Anyway the whole conversation went like that. I was told that I had to change into their idea of what a programmer was -- and that's the big problem. Managers have no idea what a web developer or programmer should be because their idea of the job typically is distorted. They rule based on FUD.
I left the company, obviously. If you can't manage your people, you won't have any.
Controlled experiments are best when it comes to papers about crime-prevention, or you look like a criminal.
Alternatively, the guy could have discussed the sensitive nature of his experiment with his prof, in advance to get a sense of his grade-potential (many good students use this technique to gauge the prof's reaction).
The prof would have likely said, OMGWTF-NO!, and this wouldn't have happened. Or the prof would have said, WOWCOOL, and it would have eliminated the student's potential culpability, if there was a legal record of it (via email or something).
Also, it wouldn't have hurt to have notified the school ahead of time that he was testing their security system. He could have cooperated with the systems staff and also been given the opportunity to learn that they wouldn't want him using keyloggers.
He was prolly showing off to his dorm buds about what a l33t h4x0r he is, and it bit him in the *.
On the flip-side, only 35% of students at Carleton get beyond year #1. Only 11% graduate... so there is a good chance this guy did one of them a favour!
The scientists behind the £4.4bn atom smasher had already received threatening emails and been besieged by telephone calls from worried members of the public concerned by speculation that the machine could trigger a black hole to swallow the earth, or earthquakes and tsunamis, despite endless reassurances to the contrary from the likes of Prof Stephen Hawking.
Absent a court ruling to back that up, it isn't anything. It's a hypothetical because there is no case law to establish anything.
Yeah, just because a company delivers a DVD backup solution, that fact doesn't make the company complicit in copyright infringement. I could see it if the company designed a package that demonstrated how to generate money from selling illegal pirated movies using the hardware, but I doubt that exists to the extent people cry about.
Because everyone who has the time to make videos against the Church of Scientology has a legal dept and funds to boot. EFF will MAYBE fund something in the way of a class action suit (IANAL), but that doesn't mean the bulk of people will know how to bypass a DCMA take-down notice and get their lolz back.
Cams make you want to buy a ticket. Come on it's not that expensive and it's a better experience -- especially for big action films. It feels like you're really there!:P
Lawsuits typically start the same way wars do -- over someone's ego... and empire construction doesn't help matters. Ego usually blinds organizations long enough for ink to dry on any questionable document.
The more mud that is slung, the harder it is to see who is really dirty!
MSFT has a lot of power, and they can't use it properly. Sure they have incorrect philosophies, but they should at least be able to EXECUTE them... but they can't.
Personally if I ever get that much power, I would like to be able to use it to achieve what I want. What would you do with that much power?

Car dealers battle the costs to tool their plants and train their people. That's huge.
They have to break even and many aren't.

Brain Scans are for Star Trek. And the cultures that have used them in judiciary systems are always evil.
Therefore, India is in danger of antagonizing most of Slashdot's audience. Including me.

Time is money, friend.
Yes, yes you did.
It's true. They pretty much all fail.

Why is it that wherever progress goes, controversy follows?
Because if you are really anonymous, nobody will know you exist and therefore they can't send you spam. Problem solved!
Was the funniest person on the commercial. I want a granny who can fix cars!!!
It's pragmatic to not press the home button when doing home invasions or killing people, I guess.

When they use the threat of your wife finding out what your dirty laundry is to manipulate you into doing their evil bidding.
Something that could get people going wow again would be nice.
Instead we'll just get people playing wow and leaving keyloggers on the space station.

Fixed.
The irony is that teachers own Bell Canada.

When they used to say that the time it took a Windows computer to go from the first boot time to an infected state was about five minutes.
Coincidence?

These objects are in space, not on the road. Physical impacts are far greater on their trajectory, than they would be in Earth gravity.
