This isn't anything new. The RIAA has been policing campus network traffic. USC's campus DC++ hub was busted by the RIAA after the RIAA came in and convinced the University to allow them access.
All the RIAA has to do is politely ask (more like......we will hold you harmless if we are given access to investigate) and the Universities usually will bow in and allow access to the campus network.
As for stopping campus filesharing, it's pretty hard to stop as long as it stays within the borders. And moreover, with students in such close physical contact, it's fairly easy to set up rogue networks, or even just swap burned DVDs/memory sticks.
However, youll find that going above your boss' head is not the best way to get ahead, in public sector or private sector. Public sector has always been about politics, rather than who is "right"
Hey, if they don't want federal funding, they are free to abandon it and be unfettered by restrictions on who they talk to.
It's "freedom of speech", not "freedom from consequences". If you go into work and talk shit about your boss, you can't whine about freedom of speech when you get fired
It seems like what they are complaining about is that the Bush administration doesn't want people who work for them to talk to the media and espescially don't want them to field questions on public policy.
In effect, a non-issue. Most of you already know you shouldn't go to the media and make comments about the job your boss is doing, or make comments about what they should do instead. I really don't think it's out of the ordinary for Bush to put a collar on his subordinates.
I do think there is something to say with college exposing people to new viewpoints, but as a college student, I look around and see mostly rich WASP kids with white man's guilt, or kids getting a lot of government money to be there, so no wonder these kids would be liberal (essentially what im saying, is that correlation =/= causation).
I don't know the technical reason, but I can always tell the difference between a picture that's just been desaturated, and an actual B&W).
It's generally because film has much higher contrast and noise, and most people who try to convert to black and white simply desaturate their files, which makes them look very flat
Obviously Nikon Capture can't match Photoshop, but Nikon Capture or other 3rd Party RAW converters can do the most common things need to photos pretty easily (Sharpen, Adjust Contrast, Adjust Brightness, Curves, Crop, and some can apply Noise Reduction) and most importantly, quickly.
When I need to take a tree out of a picture...i reach for Photoshop. WHne I need to get a couple hundred RAW files handled, I grab C1 Pro or Nikon Capture for their far superior suitability to the task.
Adobe asked Nikon, and Nikon said NO to a licensing deal.
Anyways, notice how Adobe is the only one complaining. I believe it is because Nikon's competing software (and software that other 3rd parties have made) has made Adobe Photoshop less relevant. That is why CS 2 is coming out....to correct the deficiency Photoshop has with regard to digital photography.
Other 3rd party software companies have worked around the WB data, and aren't complaining like Adobe is. There is more to the story than this.
In addition to making a camera bigger and heavier, adding a HDD and Bigger Screen would kill a lot of batteries, which adds another consumable product that weighs a lot. Carrying More batteries is NOT fun.
Medium Format Digital cams usually have a tethered HDD for storing gargantuan files (The Hasselblad Digital SLR at 22MP generates a 140MB file).

To answer your unrelated question:
Comcast has been having major DNS issues. If you have another DNS server you can use, try using it. People on another forum were giving out DNS server IPs that supposedly were verizon's (they said Comcast made a deal to share DNS so that Comcast wouldn't be badly fucked).
It _would_ learn about hacking. Come on. Such an entity would be born in a pure data environment. Getting through a basic firewall would probably seem like jumping over a small fence does to a 6-years old. Getting to jump over better firewall would probably take time - in the sense that the entity would need to learn - but, since it would become a survival trick, it would happen.
In Halo (books and game), they have AI's that are at that level of awareness and such. Cortana, one of the AIs, is quite an adept hacker, because it is necessary to get information that her handlers ask for. And they came up with a clever solution for trying to stop AI hacking: Have the network controlled by a dedicated AI. They would learn just as fast.

Of course that's the way it works in theory.

Godwin'd already!

Statistically speaking people with collage educations are more likely to be liberals.
Statistically speaking more than half of students at four-year colleges -- and at least 75 percent at two-year colleges -- lack the literacy to handle complex, real-life tasks such as understanding credit card offers.

No one country/entity can turn it off.
The United States, and probably China/Russia/etc can. Not in the "flicking off a switch" way, but in a way that requires explosives
(Well, maybe it is possible with some sort of memory erasing device.)

Infact, I wonder if an apt-get implementation could have solved the foam insulation problems of the shuttle in much the same way.
I look forward to the community's response!
Goatse man has that angle covered.
Or potentially, bury a large water resevoir, and let the ground cool the water.
Put in a pump to pump that water up to the fan and through the system.
You could even have it run through multiple fans.
You can think of $100,000 as 5 teachers, which is pretty damn good. That's what Microsoft costs the school.

Yeah, I know...they have just been dragging.
I think CS2 will fix a lot though.

Exactly...Photoshop is becoming less relevant now, and Adobe knows it.
Other 3rd party RAW converters (and Nikon Capture) have mostly removed the need for Photoshop in a workflow.
Adobe asked Nikon, and Nikon said NO to a licensing deal.

The problem with not keeping logs and telling the FBI you don't have any as a result: They'll just physically take your servers.
If that happens, I understand it is a major bitch to ever get them back.
