Why does everything on the planet have to be "fair"... ?
There are some groups in the United States who think they are the moral authority on everything. These people are often overly politically correct, and they see their mission as Good Americans to end all the injustices they see in the world. It is nothing more than that.
So they have your SSN for the user name. Just think of what they could do if they knew your mother's maiden name! Oh never mind, that's the password!

Your over-optimistic attitude completely misses something that every slashdotter knows: The machines will eventually take control of our bodies, become our overlords, and turn us into bionic batteries. Keeanu Reeves will then be forced to die in a desperate plea to save humanity... just as it should be.
Either that or super-intelligent mice will take over the world.
Mt high school had the Netware admin drives mounted by default for every user.
It was very easy to go into: My Computer -> N: (or whatever Netware was) -> [ System files ]. And yes, if you opened a DOS prompt by changing the name of cmd.exe to iexplore.exe, you could run netadmin.
The only time I ever told anyone about my system browsing was when I found some illicit folders resting in an admin-only writable directory. In that case, I came to the IT guy at our school and told him to go to a certain path on the *shared* admin drive. Of course he asked me what I was doing, having looked at the system files-I told him he better worry about how the illicit files got there before he worried about me. I never heard about it again.
Incidentally, our school still used token ring at the time, so the computers were also vulnerable to the pandora admin exploit.
This has been on my wish list for quite some time. I'm sure Apple knows that squirrelmail has its limitations, but I'm not holding my breath for them to come out and fix it.
I own an early 2008 xserve and I can tell you the entire cycle of releases from 10.5.1 to 10.5.6 was absolutely ridiculous. Services constantly crashing and rebooting the machine, file services not working, NAT stopping, open directory getting corrupted... the list goes on. If you want to read horror stories head over to the Apple discussion forums. Early 10.5 releases were NOT ready for a production machine.
Finally, in 10.5.7, they have a decent release. Because of their track record with the 10.5 releases, I am petrified over upgrading to 10.5.8. My stuff works as it is, and it is not a constant maintenance nightmare. I will only buy SL Server if the reviews are good, the cost is low, and the stability is there. It will take a hell of a good product in 10.6 to make up for the horror of 10.5.
Saying that, I have only good things to say about the hardware. For all the configuration I've had to do, it would have better to run Linux. The hardware is very stable and doesn't break, although you should know that an Xserve is not appropriate for a home environment because its fans are LOUD.
Yes, they chose to... But it's hardly their fault.
To add to the people picking this statement apart: Yes, it is the parent's fault for jumping in front of a bullet to save their child. They made the conscious decision to do that and ignore their own safety, therefore they are at fault.
Whether or not it was a rational decision is a different matter-- it probably was the best decision they could have made.. But your analogy just doesn't work. [/pendantic]
You need to download the 10.5.8 standalone installer and try it again. On some of the updates (10.5.6, 10.5.7?) your computer is supposed to restart once or twice before it boots up normally. I rarely, if ever, have problems with the standalone installers (the only issue is that they are big downloads).
SPICE is the software that does the simulation- it is not a front-end anywhere near as good as OrCad. That's like telling someone who wants to write a formal letter to use vi (or emacs). In fact, OrCad does its simulation through SPICE.
IIEE who uses a Mac, and I have looked into this. I have not found anything usable across all platforms, which is a real pain in the butt. As the OP already knows, PSPICE is owned by Cadence so the copyrights and patents for the software are locked up in that. As a result, there really aren't any viable open source alternatives.
The only thing I could think of would be to do something with LabView but that opens up a whole other can of worms in terms of teaching students how to work.
My suggestion is to get your ECpE department to subsidize VMWare or Parallels for students so that they can run PSPICE in OrCad. The world is just kinda crappy that way.
AT&T was most likely the cause of the removal of google voice. Apple probably has their hands tied by servicing agreements, so the only way they can get google voice (which would be great for the iphone platform) is through government intervention. I imagine there were some discussions between Apple and Google about how to make this work. Somebody fIling a complaint with the FCC is a good way for Apple to cover its contractual ass and for google to get their software on the iPhone.
Require network registration with a captive portal/walled garden. I experimented with this when the technology was very young. It wasn't great back then, but it should be well established by now.
What you need is a captive portal that takes a MAC address (maybe some other details) from a computer and maps it to a user's university login. The user should be presented with a registration webpage when he or she tries to access the Internet. This generally prevents people outside the university from accessing your network. The user should not have to register each time they hook up to the network- it should be a one time deal. You might consider giving people access up to five devices without filling out special forms.
Although it's not perfect, it is a very practical way to do access control. Some people have privacy concerns with this method. I'm merely suggesting a practical alternative that has worked for many other universities. YMMV
I know it's popular here to say everything that comes from Fox News is complete bullshit, but maybe just once and a while they have a good article. We should be thankful for that.
"I learned, from a trusted source, that Steve Jobs likes avocado."
In the beginning, it was my sig. I have since removed it as some of the newer slashdotters have thought it was a troll. Its underlying meaning is all too relevant to this article, though- the obsession is not just with apple, but with Steve Jobs himself. It's the tabloid mentality we live in today.
For the amount of money she'll owe she could have hired someone insanely good many times over. I'm not putting on my tinfoil hat yet, but this legal ineptitude is rather suspicious.
I was a TA awhile back for a Sophomore Java Programming class, and there was a particular incident where a student had turned in verbatim another student's work for an assignment.
It was extremely easy to catch, though, since the guy didn't even change the name of the real author in the code's comments.
While the Mona Lisa in MS Paint is certainly interesting, but it is most definitely not an original work. There's a big difference between creating something from scratch and emulating an existing drawing. One of the main reasons this drawing is notable is because it is *original.*
Nobody has seemed to touch on this- he is avoiding something that makes him feel unpleasant with an activity that makes him feel better.
He's the victim of a self-fulfilling prophecy. He probably gets very bad grades, tells himself he sucks, and as a result spends more time in a virtual world where he feels appreciated and loved. He subsequently gets bad grades (since he's not devoting the time to school), and the cycle happens again. This is the downward spiral you are seeing. It's actually quite common.
That's not to say he doesn't have valuable relationships outside of gaming, but right now he may not realize what he has until it is all gone.
At this point I would intervene and seek professional medical help. Get his parents on the phone and have them make an appointment to see a good therapist. The therapist will be able to figure out if there's something medically wrong with him, and they can send him to a doctor if necessary.
He probably knows he has a problem, too, but for whatever reason refuses to accept reality because his coping mechanisms aren't good enough. He needs a way to figure out how to cope that is less self-destructive.
If any case, you need to be cheerful and positive around him. He will stay in the virtual world if he thinks this one is annoying.

Absolutely no need to say what the parent said... anybody can differentiate between velocity and acceleration.
I guess some people can't be helped. :-(

P.S. - I'm serious.
I want to extend my congratulations to her ex-boyfriend for breaking up with her.

We don't have room for positive attitudes here.

The submitter's next logical question should be to ask how heart monitors are linked to pedophilia.

I'm not sure why this is modded informative.

One such exploit could be Microsoft ActiveX. (There are legions of people who authorize that stuff without a second thought.)

It's probably like one of those posters where you stare really hard and the desktop suddenly pops out at you.~ I was never very good at those.
If any Libertarian voted for Obama and expected him to carry out Libertarian ideals, that person will be sorely disappointed.
