    Leaving aside the fact that I mentioned physical access to the device[1], how many computers have you seen that have a usb port exposed to the wild outside? And you dare to suggest that I need to do a bit more thought? Seriously?

    perhaps when the constitution was written, a 35 year old would be pretty much done with child rearing

    Back then, men didn't do much child rearing. Neither did women, if they were at all wealthy.

    It's totally different. In that case it was a German company, so the entire management team should be dragged away in handcuffs. GM is a good 'ol American company, and so it's just business.

    I am a current student at ITT. Went to campus today to study and was kicked out. The dean stated they were closing campus early for the holiday. I sat in the parking lot and watched staff go in and clear out personal affects. [...] other rumor is its prep for the shut down. [...]I am one of several students that are suppose to graduate 9/29

    And nothing of value was lost.
