and it is very possible he is indeed "too good". Autistic kids can be blinding geniuses at complex tasks that require conceptual thinking. First off, I doubt seriously the kid could manage the procedure to "cheat" since it involved downloading and installing. Their minds race all the time, and they would find this very frustrating to do.. But, they are all stellar at seeing concepts and patterns, and they can focus 100% on what they are doing, for hours at a time, and block out everything else.
For example, I played a gig at a "Home for mentally "disabled" kids". A boy there, about 10 or so, was fascinated by the Hammond B3 we had. He sat on the edge of the stage, swaying back and forth for an hour while we played, lost in his own little world. We took a break, and the boy could barely manage a conversation, but he got across to me that he loved the last song we played, and wanted to play the organ.. With the OK of the B3 player, I let the kid get up and play. And he played back EXACTLY what our keys played played in that song, INCLUDING his solo. No mistakes, just as if somebody had recorded it. Perfect. Jaw dropping. And in an "aww" moment, the kid hugged our keys player, then he retreated into his own little world on the edge of the stage.
The point is this: an autistic child can catch onto a game much faster then we normals can - they see patterns we don't, and they can exactly duplicate patterns they just did. like walking from their room to outside, in exactly the same footsteps. I will guess about they boy's success at gaming- the boy made mistakes at first, but saw some of the patterns in the game. He duped the patterns up to the point of the mistake, then figured out how the "enemy" behaved, since the "enemy" has a behavior pattern that the kid saw, and figured out how the game operated well enough to exploit anomalies we do not see.
MS owes this kid an apology, and of they were smart, they'd watch him play the game. they might just learn something from an autistic kid. I did.
People from simply removing all of their clothing when they are "hand searched"? Or demanding that a LEO be present at the search? Or demanding that the search be video'd? If the search is "public", then can someone tape it? Or getting the name of the employees who search you?
By the way, where did that 'bagger come from from up thread? What a parrot.... Prove a negative, indeed....
1- Determine the scope of useage- how many copies of it were made (like one image, put into a thousand brochure / instance, how much they are charging per instance, and if there is a chance of future printing. In the case of digital, then determine how many hits on their site where your image is being used.
2- Determine a fee based upon how much usage, and make it on the high side.
3- Send the company an invoice, pay in full within 30 days of billing date, with late fee for past due, along with a copy of the CC notification. Add in a note that says to the affect of you will not charge them a late fee for time used before billing, but you want to be paid in full within 30 days. Include a note that says failure to respond to the invoice will be grounds for going to collections. If they do respond, but do not pay, re- invoice, (include the previous late fee, PLUS late fees from the original time of usage, and a fee for future use - this can be pretty hefty) this time with a 15 day notice, and another late fee, and a warning that non payment will result in legal action for unauthorized use of your works and failure to pay usage fees. You do not have to send them any more bills, etc., after that 15 day period.
4- Then go to court. If you plan on doing this one company at a time, then you can probably just go to small claims. But you have an option to bill all businesses that used your work, then have an attorney handle all the lawsuits, and see if the attorney will add his fees on top of what you are asking for. This is where the offending business sits up and takes notice, because suddenly, their mis- appropriation of your work have snowballed into a 5 figure lawsuit. But be careful, and make sure you have given the business proper notice and have your ducks in a row, when it comes to claiming your work as ours, and any CC laws applicable.

that has the three cylinder 2 stroke, oil in the gas tank, no starter solenoid, no oil pump, always on electrical system, suicide doors, it would win that competition hands down. I had one (quick, you have been playing in a club, drinking all night, and are really sloshed, but you have to get gas on the way home. So you pull into a gas station at 3:00AM with US$4.00 in your pocket- back when gas was $1.80 a gallon. Now, how much oil do you put into the gas tank?). My SAAB just slid on top of the snow, like a sled, and the front wheels and skinny tires steered just great. I miss that car- the grey goose, we named it.
They are deeply addicted to nicotine, and nicotine is a proven killer. But smokers, just like crack heads, will go to all lengths to rationalize their drug addiction. Ask any former drug addict or alcoholic about what drug is the hardest to kick and they will tell you that it is nicotine / cigarettes.
MRGO is only one reason the city flooded. MRGO should have never been built in the first place.
BUT
the reason New Orleans failed is because the levees were not maintained. Levees age, they erode, the sink under their own weight. They are made of dirt and are not monoliths. The sad truth is that Bush destroyed New Orleans. In a nutshell, he stole the money slated to fix the levees in three years' budgets, in spite of warnings of the catastrophe if the levees gave way. There was (still is) a program that was created to rebuilds the levees (SELA), and Bush defunded it. Work on the levees slowed or stopped, and the weakened levees broke.
FACTS::
February 2001
Bush's first budget proposed more than half a billion dollars worth of cuts to the Army Corps of Engineers for the 2002 fiscal year. Bush proposed half of what his own officials said was necessary for the critical Southeast Louisiana Flood Control Project (SELA)--a project started after a 1995 rainstorm flooded 25,000 homes and caused a half billion dollars in damage.
Bush did this to offset the tax break he gave to the top 1% of rich Americans. The first major economic initiative pursued by the president was a massive tax cut for the rich, enacted in June of 2001. Bush signed his massive $1.3 trillion income tax cut into law-a tax cut that severely depleted the government of revenues it needed to address critical priorities.
February 2002
Bush provided just $5 million for maintaining and upgrading critical hurricane protection levees in New Orleans--one fifth of what government experts and Republican elected officials in Louisiana told the administration was needed. Bush knew SELA needed $80 million to keep working, but the he only proposed providing a quarter of that.
February 2004
The SELA project sought $100 million to repair the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain levees, but Bush offered only $16.5 million. The Army Corps of Engineers asked for $27 million to pay for hurricane protection upgrades around Lake Pontchartrain--but the White House cut that to $3.9 million. Gaps in levees around Lake Pontchartrain & the Industrial Canal, which were supposed to be filled by 2004, were not filled because of budget shortfalls. Repair work on the levees, including the ones that failed, was stopped due to lack of funds.
any town on the MS river, CA for earthquakes, FL for hurricanes, the midwest for drought and tornadoes, the north for snow storms, etc.
Are you trying to show how little you know about why New Orleans flooded?
It was not Katrina, but the failure of the levees. And they failed because they were not maintained, and the reason they were nto maintianed is becasue Bush stole the money to pay for tax breaks for his rich friends.
It's what is put into the time in class. Trying teach one class composed of bright students, dull students and don't care students wastes everybody's time. The concept of grades needs to be rethought into levels of achievement, and students should be supported if they can work and learn faster. School has gotten dumber over the years- it's time to reverse that trend. I think that school days should be longer, but they should add arts classes, and, above all, classes in critical thinking, and how to think, both conceptually, and linearly.
Oh yeah, and reduce the emphasis on football. School sports are fine, but to a limit.
One more thing: double the teachers' salaries & make sure they can teach. Eliminate the dumb ones, the ones with personality problems, and keep the ones who care and are of sharp mind and quick thinking.
at a major CA dept. store. I asked the security person if she would sign a a letter of indemnity- if anything came up missing or damaged, or data copied from my laptop, or laptop turned on without my written permission, the store would replace at full retail any damaged items, and would be responsible for monetary loss from copied data or loss of data. The look on her face was beyond priceless. I followed up with: "well, if you take possession my stuff, then you are fully responsible for it. If you refuse responsibility for my possessions that you demand I hand over to you, then I will not shop here any longer." They said they were not responsible for any loss or damage while they held it.
Just sayin' hypothetically that a laptop was confiscated and the contents of the drive copied. And just sayin' a hidden virus was copied, like one that would not self activate until after it was copied. And theorizing this virus was designed to wipe the hard drive it was copied onto, and it goes to work and does its damage. Or what if the laptop was already unknowingly infected with a virus or trojan, and the infection was copied. Then what happens?
If this woman can collect and repost this information from public sources, then what's to stop a criminal from searching the same databases as she did? Nothing- in fact, the smart criminals do that already.
First off, Katrina was just a CAT 3 when it went through New Orleans, and it was not not a direct hit. The levees should have held, but---
Katrina, aka the flooding of New Orleans, was caused by George Bush. Follow this: In 19945 a federal program, called SELA, was created in response to a flooding in Louisiana, that was due to deteriorated levees. This program included a full inspection of all the MS river and Lake Ponchartrain levees, then repairs and upgrades to meet current demands, as needed. Well, the first thing old George does when he gets into office is to cut taxes for the rich- he immediately wasted the surplus Clinton left him. That wasn't enough to balance the cuts, so, and here we get to the heart of the matter, Bush cuts the Army Corps of Engineers' Levee repair funds (SELA) to less than one fourth of what is needed. And not for just one year, but for three, in three seperate USA fiscal year's budgets:
June 7, 2001
Bush signed his massive $1.3 trillion income tax cut into law-- a tax cut that severely depleted the government of revenues it needed to address critical priorities. Bush's first budget introduced in February 2001 proposed more than half a billion dollars worth of cuts to the Army Corps of Engineers for the 2002 fiscal year. Bush proposed providing only half of what his own administration officials said was necessary to sustain the critical Southeast Louisiana Flood Control Project (SELA).
February 2002
The president unveiled his new budget, this one with a $390 million cut to the Army Corps. The administration provided just $5 million for maintaining and upgrading critical hurricane protection levees in New Orleans (SELA) --one fifth of what government experts and Republican elected officials in Louisiana told the administration was needed.
February 2, 2004
White House on February 2 released a budget with another massive cut to infrastructure and public works projects--
this time to the tune of $460 million. The Southeast Louisiana Flood Control project sought $100 million in U.S. aid to strengthen the levees holding back the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, but the Bush administration offered a paltry $16.5 million.
On top of that, Bush refused to put emergency relief in place before, during and after the storm, unlike Nixon, Clinton and Bush 1. He also turned away relief efforts, like a private bus co. offering to come get the people still in the city, the red cross, and stopping the USS Bataan, a hospital ship, from going from MS to NOLA, to help.
Gates can't make a dumass in charge do the right thing, but Katrina didn't flood New Orleans. Stupid George did.
---the national debt climbed while taxes on the super rich and corporations declined. And every Republican President since, repeated this pattern; then Clinton came along, and left little Bush with a budget surplus, the first since WW2, which Bushie immediately squandered. And he reduced corporate taxes and taxes on the super rich, with no regard where money to run the country was coming from. BTW, Bush stole the money slated to fix and upgrade the New Orleans levees, stopping work in progress, and the levees failed. So we have now, thanks to Bush and the Republicans, the largest national debt ever, a huge part of that debt in Communist China's hands. That's right, we are in debt to the Communists- they have us by the short and curlies. Obama has to do something to pay off the debt, and have money to run the country, so closing tax loopholes is one part of the plan. He did, however, give a tax break to the middle class- the biggest one ever.
So all those against Obama's plan to close corporate tax loopholes and end off shore tax havens- would you please post your plan on how to get this country out from under the debt that Bush dumped on Obama? if you have none, and nothing but lip flap, then sit down and shut up, and let a smart man fix this. A Black man, once again, is cleaning up the mess made by a rich, stupid, white man. History repeats itself.
isn't this the 20th anniversary of the TV show, making them all over the age of consent? If chronological age is ignored and appearance is used as the child porn yardstick, then what about women who like to dress up as high schoolers and have sex, i.e. be 28 years old but dress as fourteen? Is that OK? Could Dave Vitter, with his sex preference of wearing diapers, be considered a child since he dresses (and acts) like one? And, since the Simpsons all have yellow skin and disproportionate features, can a court properly classify the Simpsons as human, since no humans have skin that color- they are better defined as humanoid- aliens, therefore non human.
Did anyone in Oz figure this out?
Fox News? You know they are not a news source, with no obligation to tell the truth, don't you? They stated so in a court of law. FYI, if you get it from Fox, it is spin. "Fair & balanced" has nothing to do with facts and lies, something Fox can't figure out.
The essence is a school employee was slandered / libeled by a student outside of school, making the S/L a personal issue, not a case in in school discipline. The employee chose to misuse his power to suspend the student - essentially treating this as an in school matter. The legally correct thing to do would have been to issue a take down notice and send her a letter from an attorney, then, sue her personally. Of course, since she is a minor, that won't go anywhere, a fact I bet he knew, so he chose to suspend her as punishment.
The girl should not have posted what she did. What she said is actionable, and could have cost her parents money. But we have a misuse of power issue, and the principal did the wrong thing, although he has a right to stop the libel. But since he used his school power, the school district is now liable for damages.
If customs loses / deletes / holds your laptop and causes injury to your or your company, they usually escape liability...
So what about simply telling them that your company requires the name and contact information for anyone who accesses your computer, and, further, requires a written and audio recorded statement to the affect of anyone who accesses the computer becomes liable for loss, damages, copyright violations loss of proprietary information etc.
Once they give the information and sign the form, then they can have the computer.
But, if it was me, I would turn on an audio recorder at the first sign of trouble, and get them to say their name.
OK. So let's ask a few questions:
What do they mean by the stereotype of "White"? Do they mean anglos? Do they mean Caucasians? Italians? French? Yugoslavian? Irish? Portuguese? Danish?
Did they do a study on the number of Indians who play games and the number of Indian game creators? How about Jewish?
What I see here to begin with is the all too typical stereotyping of "whites". I have a light skin, but I am mostly Italian- does that make me white? In New Orleans, at the turn of the 20th century, Italians were lynched & slaughtered by so called "white" folks. And there were a lot of mixed race people there- called Creole. You want to use your race baiting- make sure you have your bait straight.
what I see here is a report that is designed to pit the stereotype of Black against the stereotype of White. There is no "white".

If customs loses / deletes / holds your laptop and causes injury to your or your company, they usually escape liability... So what about simply telling them that your company requires the name and contact information for anyone who accesses your computer, and, further, requires a written and audio recorded statement to the affect of anyone who accesses the computer becomes liable for loss, damages, copyright violations loss of proprietary information etc. Once they give the information and sign the form, then they can have the computer. But, if it was me, I would turn on an audio recorder at the first sign of trouble, and get them to say their name.
OK. So let's ask a few questions: What do they mean by the stereotype of "White"? Do they mean anglos? Do they mean Caucasians? Italians? French? Yugoslavian? Irish? Portuguese? Danish? Did they do a study on the number of Indians who play games and the number of Indian game creators? How about Jewish? What I see here to begin with is the all too typical stereotyping of "whites". I have a light skin, but I am mostly Italian- does that make me white? In New Orleans, at the turn of the 20th century, Italians were lynched & slaughtered by so called "white" folks. And there were a lot of mixed race people there- called Creole. You want to use your race baiting- make sure you have your bait straight. what I see here is a report that is designed to pit the stereotype of Black against the stereotype of White. There is no "white".
