What's your goal in writing the aimbot? If it's to beat other players, you're cheating. If it's not, then why not just write a script that prints: "You win."
I guess it depends on what the goal was. If you're out for revenge, then bad publicity is a great idea.
But if think you have a chance to get money out them, then the bad publicity may be what finally pushes them over the edge, destroying any chance of getting your money...
I'm pretty sure radio was invented by Marconi, though I believe there are some who would argue Tesla should get credit. I fear for your daughter's history education if you "correct" the textbook's version with, "I'm sure that's wrong 'cause I think I read something different on SlashDot."
As for praise where it's not needed, I think that's almost impossible when it comes to child education. Undeserved praise may be a problem though. In the case of the math games, it sounds like it may have been, and you did the right thing. Celebrate her accomplishment, and the work that went into it.
Awards in the subjective areas like the arts are another matter though. The goal of childhood art education is not to mold "prize winning" artists. The idea is to introduce children to the arts, and to let them realize that it's something anyone can do. You may not be great at painting, drawing, singing, dance, whatever. But they can still be enjoyable, enriching, fulfilling things to do.
Cheaters weren't punished solely on the basis of the professor's program. As the article pointed out, it's likely that as many as half the people who had identical papers actually wrote them, with the others being the cheaters.
The prof used the results of the program as a flag to indicate which papers he should investigate. The students he accused of cheating are now being reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
If you read the story, you'll see that he did assume that the students could be trusted until one of them came to him and informed him that others were cheating.
What I found interesting was that their attorney is one Archibald Cox. Now if that's the Watergate Special Prosecutor, then they're not exactly skimping on the legal firepower, are they?
Actually Archibald Cox Jr. is their president and CEO. Probably just a coincidence, or maybe Mr. & Mrs. Cox thought very highly of the original... (Depending on how old this guy is.)
I agree. Ethics, shmethics. Right and wrong is totally subjective. Do whatever you like.
Say, you use hotmail? I hate people who use Microsoft products. I guess I'll hunt you down and kill you. I'm certainly not going to let you live because some say it's wrong according to ancient rules of "moral" conduct.
Given the choice, it's much easier and more productive to go after a single target like Napster. But that's not possible with Gnutella, so they're going after enough users to (they hope) "educate" (read as "intimidate") all users.
I believe the computer responded to the hydraulics failure by shutting down the engine. The pilot was attempting to override that (or misinterpreted what had happened?) which was why he was trying to reset the computer.

Could be wrong, but I you'd have to go down to "Cup&String Net" to find cabling that *doesn't* run at the speed of light. As a practical matter, bandwidth has little to do with speed of transmission.
The article implies MS is doing this as a way to raise revenues which are currently flattening out.
Analysts said Microsoft is cracking down on licensees amid lackluster financials. After years of racking up spectacular earnings growth, Microsoft posted flat earnings in its most recent quarter compared with a year ago and has warned that earnings for the current quarter will be lower than expected.
"The teams are looking for every ounce of revenue," said Giga Information Group analyst Rob Enderle, who said client complaints about Microsoft licensing have shot up in the last six months. "It's been a tough market, and they're going to have to scratch for all the money they can get."
The question really is whether vicious kids and hostile school environments are turning kids into killers. It's a question neither politicians nor the media seem to want to ask.
Huh? Katz refers to a news story in his post, as well as comments from many government figures. Here's the results of a quick Yahoo news search (hardly an exhaustive source) on "bully":
(Reuters)...The shooting prompted a series of copycat incidents across the nation and sparked a national debate about bullying....

Colorado is set to require all school districts in the state to create anti-bullying policies, as many states and school districts look for ways to handle a problem which has been cited as a factor in recent episodes of school violence.

Sounds like the media and politicians are at least discussing the issue, Jon.
Ummm...where do you get your ideas of what "usually" happens? How many kids do you know of that have gotten life sentences? I can't think of any myself? And how many adults do you know of that got 5 years or less for murdering a child? Please cite any evidence you have for this non-existant "double standard."
Yes, things are definitely tough on kids. But it's not the "open season" your post suggests.
Censor: to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable (Merriam Webster)
That sounds like a perfect definition of what these products do. It certainly does not have to be an inescapable government activity to qualify as censorship.
I haven't dealt with censorware myself, but is it really that easy to uninstall? Seems like that'd defeat at least part of the purpose if it were that easy to get around.

Perhaps if education was a higher priority there'd be less "whinning" and "turmultuos" times.

Oops, my mistake. He actually is the son of the special prosecutor. Here's a Google Search link

Wow, great plan. Then you'd get to spend thousands defending yourself in court. And at the end of the day you'd have gained...nothing.

Nah, you'll just get modded down for having a typo on your sig.

But Verisign (and the MS lawyers) would definitely want to know what a window cleaning company is planning to do with certificates.
And of course no one cares about anyone who doesn't read slashdot.
If you think so highly of your employer , why not reveal their name?

Of course Motorola just laid off another 7000, and MarchFirst continues to hemorrhage, so saying Chicago's best may not mean all that much.
So that swap file is wide open.
