Perhaps because the idea that regular people can hand down information to the next generation or to their peers is quite a bit older than the education establishment. People instinctively know that the idea that ony "trained educators" can teach others is preposterous.
The good news is that if your 40 year-old friend consolidates that loan quickly, she'll be able to lock in a rate, and possibly repay it over a long (30 years) period of time. (I'm assuming we're talking about a Federal loan here.) Also, if she dies owing, it won't come out of her estate.
Once they become aware of searches for questionable information from this request, they then have probable cause to subpoena Google for the identifying information.
And either way, this is going to have a deleterious effect on Google's ability to collect accurate profiles. Users who never would have before are going to start zapping their persistent Google cookies, thinking twice, then thinking again about what strings they type into the search box, and using TOR. If Google had visibly caved, the situation would be far worse.
Except you don't get hits on searches that reference the display content. What people who operate some sites want is the ability to have their content indexed, and hits returned, but not displayed in the summary or the cached copy. Sites like expertsexchange go so far as to embed JavaScript in the cached copy that causes a redirect to a copy that hides the content until one pays or registers or what have you. (Bugmenot and disablement of JavaScript are the remedy.)
They want to have their cake and eat it, too -- content indexed, but not accessible outside their site.
Exactly. Eye-tee has figured out the same thing the government has figured out. Few dare question anything done in the name of security. And those few can be dealth with harshly. It's how they're going to turn corporate computing back into a priesthood.
Yes, they were. It's settled fact that IBM sold Hitler's government the infrastructure of Hollerith cards and associated systems that the Nazis used to round up the Jews.
. . . all the way up to Gates if he authorized it, need to be brought to the Hague in chains, tried, and hanged for crimes against humanity. I hope they have enough gallows for the execs from Cisco and Yahoo in the bullpen.
Ad hominem aside, what evidence do we have that people will not tend towards being sheep? It's sheep like yourself that will enable and make inevitable the scenario I've described.
I hope your right. But as the surveillance culture becomes more engendered, I bet 95% of people will think nothing of having to show their drivers license/national ID as a condition of getting one of these cards. And the stores will have no problem dismissing the concerns of the "paranoid" 5%.
So you lied about your personal data, and based on that, you're saying the cards are no big deal. Do you really expect that it'll be that easy to just fib about your name forever?
No, those cards are a mechanism by which you allow the stores to build up a personal profile on you in return for not having to pay a surcharge for not using the card. Yesterdays "sale prices" are today's "card prices."
Seeing things won't cost you your job. Using the things you've learned that way might. And as an "information security auditor," you ought to be familar with laws like the ECPA, etc., that constrain the poking around you are supposed to be doing on the network. Yes, I realize there's no practical enforcement against peeping -- assuming there's no one watching you (quis custodiet ipsos custodies). But your use of that information, should you be caught out, can get you in trouble, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.
As for me and my privacy, I route my relatively innocuous traffic through TOR or JAP just to make people like you curious.
So, I guess you could say that I am worse than ANY of the NSA agents! In fact, every single damned ISP is 100,000x worse than any NSA agent because we have NO constraints on what we do with the information. I can send in anonymous tips about a drug deal being planned via email or IM, they can't. I can notify a wife about a cheating spouse.
True, you can. But if you get caught at it, you lose your job, never work in a position of trust again, and maybe even go to jail. The NSA, OTOH, doesn't operate under those constraints.
Heh, I remember that. Only my high school was a little more liberal -- if it was printed double-strike, it'd be accepted. I hope you at least had true descenders:).
Like I said, I don't care about his motivations -- he's getting attention drawn to the abuses as well as results in court. If I were a New Yorker, I'd vote for him in a minute. At least he's not the typical government official slavishly trying to serve big business.

Realdoll (not safe for work) just as good as real woman.
Because most people don't have the time to teach their own children because both parents work to provide a basic standard of living.

You're kidding, right? I've found more solutions to problems on Usenet than in all the search-engine-spamming "answers" sites put together.
A gramme is better than a damn.
Yes, they were. It's settled fact that IBM sold Hitler's government the infrastructure of Hollerith cards and associated systems that the Nazis used to round up the Jews.

Competition from U-boats, LOL.
I'll stick with Usenet.
. . . put the kibosh on it. He wasn't about to have that logo on his pretty new Intel Macs.
One man's paranoid is another man's vigilant. And I see you still don't have anything meaningful to say.
Apparently, the kind that make people like you unable to argue and substitute lame retorts implying mental illness.
