I'm still not sure why the teacher is being blamed. I would assume that most K-12 schools would be using some kind of proxy server to limit access to 'questionable' content. From talking to some network admins in the past who work for a local school district, they treat the students as hostile users and try to limit the access as much as possible.
Classroom puter, I would assume wasn't something the teacher lugged back and forth from home....did the substitute teacher circumvent the network? how was she able to surf pr0n in the first place?
In the Bible doesn't it have a passage where it is more difficult for the rich to get into heaven?
What I am saying is that humans, like other organisms, are not altruistic. While the actions may look like altruism, there is more to it whether it is a perceived benefit (psychological) or indirect benefit.
siblings share a percentage of your genes, so helping them out to be viable means they're helping themselves pass on the genes they share, hence increasing their fitness. This stuff is covered in bio and zoo classes....pretty basic stuff.
I don't know of any specific altruistic behavior that is found in nature. There are some species of birds where the offspring comes back to the nest to help out its parents rear their new siblings. From a glance, this could be seen as altruism however, this is a "cheap" way for the older siblings to pass on their genes. It's about raising the fitness without investing as much resources.
Motivation by a sense of fairness, reciprocity, and altruism, that is a nice view to have however, I don't think you can mix in altruism in with fairness and reciprocity. With being 'fair', you are expecting the same behavior out of others. If you are the only one being fair and others are not, then you will lose...
If your expecting reciprocity, then how is that altruistic? By definition, altruism is being unselfish, not expecting anything in return. As I have stated, the cooperative behavior found in nature is not of altruism but out of an indirect benefit they receive. Is this selfishness? I don't think so but there is a definite benefit to the helper.
Being altruistic, I don't believe people act this way unless there is some benefit to them. It might not be a direct benefit to ones genetic fitness but might be one of psychological reasons. Why did Mother Teresa do the good deeds for the poor? It is obvious her actions did not raise her genetic fitness. Would she have acted the same if there wasn't the benefit for her soul in the after life promised in her religion?
Can you have altruism and reciprocity at the same time? If an altruistic action is motivated by reciprocity, is that altruism?
I totally agree with the use of canalphones. By cutting down 15-25dB of ambient noise, they'll be able to enjoy the DAP in a loud environment without having to compete with the ambient noise. I personally like the passive attenuation over the active ones since it cuts down on all of the ambient noise not just certain frequencies.
As the previous poster has stated, the bonus is the higher quality of sound with a pair of Shures, Etymotic or UltimateEars. Even if you don't buy into these brands, there are plenty of in-ear monitor types of cans that will provide you with decent attenuation of ambient noise at an affordable price. If you're using a DAP while commuting, I feel that even circumaural closed headphones don't provide enough isolation to provide a safe listening volume on a bus. Open headphones? Fo' get 'bout it.
Are there limits on how much a power amplifiers or integrated amps for speakers? no? so then why limit the output of opamps?
Will people switch over to isolating type of headphones or will they bypass the limiting function by using the line out with a CMOY or other type of amplifier? Should the mom & pop headphone manufactuers be worried about possible litigation?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this only affect the system at the user level? Unless the person is browsing the web as root....
I'm sure some clever person could do some damage with this exploit but to affect the system as a whole, you would still get a dialog box to make system changes.
More often then not, I find that the sales people that I've dealt with at large electronics stores don't know what they are talking about. Maybe it's due to the poorly written manuals or maybe it's that they don't even RTFM of the products that they're selling.
A sales person at one of these stores (sounds similar to a character on the Futurama show) began to tell me that the DVD-Audio designation on a DVD player meant that it allows you to playback mp3s that you've burnt using your DVD drive and left out the whole part about the DVD-Audio discs which is a competitor to the SA-CD format.
In last month's issue of The Perfect Vision magazine, there was an article that said a lot of these chains either have mislabeled or incorrectly advertised EDTV, HD Monitors as being HDTVs.
Having unknowledgeable sales people with a combination of mislabeled advertising at the retail level, does anyone here let his or her tech challenged family members buy electronics?
Considering that 71% of wireless networks didn't have any WEP encryption when warflying over LA and Orange County, the "outside source" already ownz your files.
I'm going to wager that more general computer users will have read the Lance Ulanoff article than the rebuttal. This in their minds will probably confirm what what they already believe in or don't care cuz they can "do email or internet".
I think in order to educate the general users, such a rebuttal should be printed in the pages of which the original article was published on (pcmag). Maybe letters to the Editor?
But on the other hand, if someone writes an article saying how great it is to live in a sewer and you happen to live in a sewer you'd prolly feel good about your living situation. The writer of this article will probably argue that houses can have backed up toilets and so a house is just as stinky as a sewer.
If Lance wants to live in the sewer, let him write about it and feel good about his situation.

This is... *roll* ...indeed true.

lol still early in the morning, I wasn't thinking this through. :)

Maybe I should have put a "smiley" on my initial post. Sorry if anyone took my post seriously.
Totally offtopic and mod me down if you must:
I take offense to the "hitting the slopes" comment, sir! I mean seriously, tech gear for the hitting?!?!?
LOL Pringles cans FTW!!!
FUD!!!! just gonna wear half a hat now...
What do you mean its not changeable? Once your all your finger prints have been compromised, you can always move on to using your toes. :)
All you have to do is sign up and buy 100 tracks at the regular club prices or sign up with MSN dial up for 5 years? :)
Cute Baristas. does that answer your question??? :)
Relax guy, I'm sure Lucas will give Vader a "Queer Eye for the Sith Guy" make over.

Of course, Phase 3 will be 'profit'.
Is she cute?
Right now, they mean it literally when they say "somone set us up the bomb."

Its a lose-lose situation for the parties involved except for the lawyers and Celine Dion.
