I think the real problem would be reading. Just look where your cursor is while you are reading this. I suspect it's not right in front of your eyes, as it would block the text.
Smarter? Getting yourself liable for hell of a lawsuit just to prove a point, isn't exactly what I call smart. About as smart as making nitroglycerin in your basement. Really cool to brag about, but so not worth the consequences.
I don't know much about the educational system in the US as I live in Europe. But from my experience (I've had both day classes and evening classes) it's a lot harder to get a degree outside the normal 9 to 5 classes and it takes a whole lot longer as well.
Going back to school after several years of working isn't that easy either. When you leave school, your life changes and unless you have someone willing and able to support you for several very costly years, it's not going to happen.
IMO get the masters, chances are it's the only chance you'll get to get them. To give you an idea: I'm working to get a bachlor degree through evening classes and taking exames for a number of classes in college. In total, combined with a full time job, a mariage and a child, I'll have spend about a decade on this. Compare that to the 3 years in day classes it normaly takes.
On the other hand, now I've got several years of experience, which builds self confidence and teaches some things you won't learn in school.
I also recommend walking in and setting the interviewer's desk and chair on fire. After all you need a way to distinguish yourself from other candidates. If you still aren't sure you'vet made an impression you can poke them in the eye just to be absolutely certain.
I followed your advice. I didn't get hired, but they gave me a great letter of recommendation when I mentioned I had an interview with a competitor of them later that day.
So suppose I start a company in which manufacturers pay me to give good ratings and write positive reviews of their products and negative reviews of their competitors. Now assume I have around a hundred costumers with very diverse products and I construct a few dozen ids for the important sites like Amazon.
Is it possible to detect this?
The way I see it, this would be only detectable if I would use one or only a few IP-adresses. Or if someone would analyse my writings either manual (time consuming and expensive) or automaticaly (if that's already possible)
And considering I thought this up in a few minutes, how many people are doing this already?
A dirty bomb isn't intended to kill a lot of people. It's supposed to scare and cause panic. Pretty much as using a needle to rob someone. You can't kill someone with it, but the fear of getting infected with e.g. AIDS is enough to scare a person in complying with your demands.
The idea that all sorts of little children playing video games will endure hours of magnetic field influence on their bodies should scare the Slashdot population. There are numerous cases where magnetic fields emminating from electric lines are blamed for increases in cancer rates, especially amongst children. Exposing children to more magnetic fields is probably a really bad idea.
Ever heard of natural selection? Expose the population to as many magnetic fields as you can power. Then in a decade of 3 everyone left will be immume. It's the same advice I gave to the lead-paint producers and they would still be in business if they had followed it. But hey, PR said that massive deaths would create a negative image for the company. I told them that's what the marketing departement is for, but they wouldn't listen.
Exactly. Both the jungle as the city require constant attention. Otherwise you get eaten by a random animal or hit by a car.
On cultivated land the worst that could happen to you is peeing on a electrified fence.

Yesterday I wanted to play Halflife during my lunch break on my laptop. Mind that this is my private laptop and therefore I've no internet connection at work. Ofcourse Steam decided that I can't play until I've reconnected to internet first.
Makes me wonder why I bought it instead of pirating it. I've had done the latter I would have been able to play.
Steam is a nice way to distribute games, but honestly the requirement to connect every so often is a pain in the ass for those of us who rarely find the time to play.

Bluetooth headsets are a way to make talking to yourself socialy acceptable. (ref. Dr House, the episodes where he's halucinating).

Except boring people with blogs.
There, fixed that for you.

I see a successor to the Chuck Norris facts...
Unfortunatly Mr. Jackson isn't available at the moment. Just leave a message after the beep.
I first wanted to sugest tar and feathers, but seems they don't have budget for that anymore.

That's no problem. String has been banned since last year. Kids could strangle themselves with it.
You have serious relationship problems. I'm sure my wife wouldn't turn me in for my illegal activities.

I can. But I'm not sure what that means. Can humans do this or am I Vulcan as well? We should have a poll over this.

Hey! How did you know I live next door to Dell? Euh. I mean...Hello, U-move? I need to rent a truck. A big one. Today.
Actually I like the idea. Just imagine the fun you'll have by yelling "select all! Delete!" on that plane.
