The fact that a no-name college felt it had $175K to burn on PR tells you everything you really need to know about college affordability: there's plenty of fat at the top. Cut that first and maybe people can start buying their education with proceeds from their summer job (and have a little left over for beer) again.

I wouldn't look at cybersecurity as a guide, but I would check how the government's doing with the Veteran's Administration (VA hospitals, etc.) as a guide to what future health care might look like.
I swear I went to a theater laid out like that when I was last overseas. At first I wondered why my nice cushy reserved seat was up high and in back of the unwashed masses, but then the movie started and I understood.
"Getting around the encryption" should be "intercepting data before it got encrypted or stealing passcodes with keylogging" or some-such.
>> They persuaded a judge to let them remotely, and secretly, install software on the group's computers to help get around the encryption
I really have no problem with this. Here, the FBI went through a legal process to get permission to monitor a suspect to look for specific messages. This is a lot different than law enforcement grabbing all data passing through an area and then fishing around in people's private business for suspicious or embarrassing activity.
Forget "rouge" WiFi networks - now IT can finally strike back at BYOD users who insisted on connecting their iPhones into an internal corporate network.:)
If you want to get serious, Google Calendar, then fucking fix "decline and suggest alternate time" already. It's a staple of office (and Office) life, so its time to get into the 2010's.

For what it's worth, in Minecraft "slime-powered" dicks can be built to move slowly across the sky, travelling horizontally.

I'll have to look into that. Maybe I'll finally get some peace and quiet - it can't be worse than an "open concept" office.
