So, since the Gold Shop and the Real Money Auction House were the primary reasons they were giving for requiring the always online, does this mean that they'll be patching that "functionality" out as well?
Did you miss adjective "UnPaid" in his sentence with respect to the types of internships being discussed? There are paid internships too.
However, IANAL, but from what I recall there are no legal differentiations between "paid" and "unpaid" internships. Under the law they're both the same thing - which means there's nothing stopping employers from making all their internships unpaid.
Even if the picture in question was released under a Creative Commons Attribution license, you'd still have to include the attribution. If you don't include attribution in the first place you should be expecting to get sued.
Totally. Actually, Gearbox should have gotten in touch with Gamestop, and put the names of the people with the longest active pre-orders in the credits under "Thanks" or "True Believers" or "You can stop holding your breath now" or something.
This is why you encrypt your wireless network. Now, I'm hoping that Google has the good sense to implement the changes requested by Ms. Stoddart, and to go the extra mile and delete any collected data from other countries as well. If they don't delete it, I won't be surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised.
I'm going to give some quick information on the kind of material Mr. Black was selling (aside from DVDs for his crappy wrestling promotion). The DVD's contained material depicting simulated rape that was billed as actual rapes, participants who were advertised as being minors (with the DVDs and web pages not containing the legally mandated text that said that they confirmed that the participants were of legal age to take part in the video), along with your standard 2 Girls 1 Cup level scatological stuff.
Oh and apparently there were some problems with how they were storing it as well (they were storing it in the building they'd leased for their promotion - the former ECW Arena/Viking Hall, then called the New Alhambra Arena). Apparently there was something wrong with that as well (aside from possibly being a violation of their lease).
As it is, Rob Black is a giant inflamed asshole, and I have no sympathy for him at all.
Also, this is, to a certain extent, a betrayal of the trust of current students at the high school, it sends a message that, even if you leave town, we know where your family lives, and if you do anything that, by the moral standards of that community is untoward (even if the rest of the world doesn't find it unethical - like saying you don't like your home town and you're glad you left), your family can and will be punished for it, outside the law, by the community.
Thus is the tyranny of small towns. I really wish the girl and her family had appealed, because I suspect if the case had reacheda court that wasn't as "tainted" by the region, she might have gotten an actual fair hearing.
You're assuming the Parent lives in the US (though, mind you, there isn't any evidence to the contrary). If he doesn't live in the US, it doesn't waste a dime of his tax money, and may not hurt him a bit.
I suspect that it's probably drug-related hallucinations from Valkyr. One of my friends suggested that it was a visual metaphor for internal demons (possibly related to Valkyr as well - in the game Max gets dosed a couple times unintentionally).
Anyway, as plusses:
Mark's got Max's tone of voice down pat.
Mona Sax looks good, though it looks like they exchanged her red outfit from the first game for the black outfit from the second (which I have a minor quibble with, because it made for a nice visual metaphor, but I digress).
The snowstorm looks alright, though I wonder if it will have the same sort of "character" as it had in the game.
We only get a glimpse of Jack Lupino briefly, but he looks good.
Gunfight in the Valkyr building.
Minuses on the other hand:
No Two-Fisted Gunplay from Max.
No sign of Max's slightly-over-the-top metaphors in his dialog.
It bears noting that the positives outnumber the negatives.
I definitely agree that having Wi-Fi in your car is definitely a bad idea. However, I can think of legitimately positive use for it - your GPS can use it got get download new maps whenver it needs to when you go to a new area that you haven't already gotten maps for (like when I occasionally have to drive down to Salem, for example).
So please don't get defensive about OS X because if you just bury your head in the sand and do nothing about it, then you put yourself more at risk of a malware attack getting onto your system.
Any piece of malware is a risk to any system but good security is about limiting that risk as much as possible - so it's about putting firewalls in place, putting updates on systems regularly, scanning systems regularly, etc. etc The sad thing is that there are enough casual users who are running Apples that aren't running security software at all. Every time I've gone into an Apple store, I've overheard Apple Salespeople telling customers who ask about getting Anti-Virus software that "Apples don't get viruses." Heck, the implication that Apples are immune to viruses has made it into the Switch ads. Stuff like this leads to a culture of complacency among casual apple users, that makes the likelyhood of a major virus outbreak more likely.
For the record: Gene Simmons is the lead singer of Kiss, one of the most popular horrible "rock" bands in the history of merchandising. The band is known by it's copious amounts of merchendising, their flashy stage shows, flashy face-paint and costumes, and rather poor music (the sole exception being "Rock and Roll All Night").
To give credit where credit is due, they've certainly done a helluva job of selling out.
I dunno... Kiss tends, from what I understand, to make more money from Kiss Nation at live shows, as well as their copious amounts of merchendising (action figures, comic books, video games, pinball machines, etc.) Especially considering that their albums are, in general, crap.
Murder is already a capital crime in a number of US states. People are already being executed in many countries for crimes other than murder. Drug trafficking, serious sexual offences, could it be a relatively a small step for internet crimes to escalate into capital territory? I'm going to say this isn't very likely. At least in the US, people are only executed for crimes where they cause direct physical harm to another person (generally murder and occasionally rape). For other offences you generally get a life sentence, or defacto life sentence (say 135 years in the clink).

We can call these Hack-Back Utilities "Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics" or "ICE" for short.

I'm not sure the local pizza joint is worried that I'll be able to see where they are.
End users might have complained (in a "Big Broth-er-Google Maps is watching my every move!") sense.
I'm guessing the feature was dropped due to privacy complaints, which just goes to show that you simply can't win.

IANAL but, you can be legally compelled with a warrant for the safe, or one that includes the safe. This isn't such a case.

Just because a city has a lot of IT jobs doesn't mean it's a good city to work in.

23 downloads from the Falklands... so, the whole population uses Firefox then?
Somebody needs to write a hardboiled geek private investigator novel. (And if they did, would somebody mind directing me to the title).
Nah, it's not definite. Actually, after made my post, the usefulness of the WiFi for passengers came to mind as well.
