I would be angry with this guy too if I was an employee of that business. Everyone already knows that people can get away with this kind of stuff, and it doesn't take anyone cockily calling it "social engineering" to change that. James already knew that people could steal shit if they wanted.
Even though we have seen kids learn difficult topic more easily by using a computational approach to learning, most instructors are reluctant to introduce these new ways of thinking into their curriculum.
Perhaps teachers have a problem with introducing this technology into their curriculums because they are perceptive of the very real threat which technology in the classroom presents to them. Schools across the country are continually laying off teachers; in my school district positions are constantly being cut (including the district's affirmative action director), but somehow there was money for a shitload of new DVD players and P4s this year. New technology can be great and useful, but it is only a tool and there will always need to be teachers to use it. As long as funding is too low to give teachers anything but shitty salaries (or fire them), it will continue to be a bizarre choice to invest significant amounts of school budget money in technology.
There are many different theories about the Venus statues - they are not necessarily all portrayals of the "fertility goddess", and it has often been suggested that some of the statues, with their exagerrated breasts + genitals, were indeed used in the same way that porn is today.
Interesting... as the page is now, if you go to Forgot Your Password?, type in your email (whatever it is, you don't have to actually have an account with them), they send you the info on "resetting" your password. If you go to the link you can make a password and then try and login with that username (your email addy provided)/pass - it seems to work except for the whole "The page you requested is invalid." you get then, although you'll notice if you type the wrong password it says wrong password as opposed to this (or if you type another email address it gives you an error), so it seems that this lets you create an account (who knows when it'll actually work, though)
You have to doubt Spamhaus' claims of being immune now to dDos when they just got/. 'ed... Kind of ironic that an anti-dDos-against-Spamhaus post caused a dDos against Spamhaus.
Maybe because the NRA sites argue for guns, while the others argue against... That would be the point of filtering it, wouldn't it? Filters are bullshit, but it would make sense for a filter designed to remove pro-violence content to block the NRA.
Except Kach has committed a huge number of terrorist acts in the past, and their website exists to solicit donations. It is clearly a website whose purpose is funneling money to terrorists. Anyone in the Jewish community who opposes the State Dept.'s actions on this matter will be acting very foolishly and will be discrediting themselves. Also, the JDL's acts could not possibly be called "minor" - read about them at Wikipedia

A "terms of service" section on a website people don't reach voluntarily?
But Net Exchange does appear to be who registered the domain, and they are exactly the sort of short-lived company the Pentagon would contract with to run this thing. Also not the link from Net Exchange's website. Can anyone confirm that Net Exchange is legit? Their site is pretty convincing. Also, the media has used a shitload more sources than just that website- the issue was in front of Congress.

if it was a hoax, those the NY Times talked to would have said so. Also note that Net Exchange links to the site prominently. Nice it's cancelled. http://my.netomat.net/catalyst/Catalyst3/

I remember reading a decades-old Popular Mechanics or similar magazine that also said that flying cars were "just around the corner".
Why would bosses abuse this for privacy invasion when security cameras will always be cheaper?
Yeah, but TI-89's have buttons and for this you'd have to feed input through on toilet paper. There's also the slight issue of portability...
So you can't watch pr0n on it?
Seems like someone would have put that domain name to use by now...
That version still has Real's obnoxious nagware and other junk :( ...it's all about the mplayer.

Not much of a surprise... first Asscroft came for the bongs, then he came for the porn...when he came for the warez there was no one left to speak up.
People died to let us read the New York Times through Google?
Why did you? Public education is where the $'s at.

Sure, let's widen the technology gap between rich and poor further...
