In most (all?) states, universities that receive federal government funds have an absolute requirement to protect privacy-related information. That's one of the reasons nearly 20 years ago the California State University system switched from using SSNs as student ID numbers to some non-related numbering system. I know, because I was part of the group that challenged the use of SSNs. As IANAL, I don't know if what happened in the article email _might_ constitute the same thing, not do I know if the same would be true (i.e. whether it would constitute such a breach) if the system has a "If you use this system, you consent to monitoring" banner that pops up at login.
What about things like BSD's Talk? Doesn't that basically do the same thing? Doubly so for ytalk, etc. They allowed for 'sharing data among many connected computers so that all users see the same digital environment'
Assuming their site was built with their tool, I have some doubts about a product that doesn't render pages correctly with older browsers like IE 7 - Yeah, we know it's not secure, that sites like YouTube, etc. are phasing it out, but they haven't and users still have it. When I was doing design, I don't recall dropping rendering support so quickly for older browsers (hell, the client wouldn't let us.) So sorry, the product may be great, but it seems like it's great in some regards, and in this case, not one that matters.
While taking the cash is an option, taking the laptop or using the cash to buy a laptop that he then uses for company work (and storage of company data) put him in the same position. If they want you to work non-traditional hours, have them give you separate equipment, or VNC or whatever in and work on their system, saving their data to their remote boxes. (And obviously regardless of whether it's a laptop or cash, it still means paying the extra taxess.)
One of the listed improvements (not the word, but can't think of it right now) is the installation is considerably smaller than previous OS'. Assuming that's not because there are fewer new things in it than in 10.5, will an upgrade install reduce the amount of space currently used by the existing OS?

The bigger reason for this is "Meet at Castle Whatever for 25-man Raid. Gear check." It's impossible to learn the raids, get the equipment, etc. unless you actually get into the raids and get the equipment. I'd love to do some of the raids - I hear they're a lot of fun. But it's generally not possible with raid leaders checking to make sure I'm wearing Epic Underwear of Beelzebub. (And it better be clean, because you know mom always said to make sure you wear clean underwear in case you get hit by a Tauren.)

Don't know if it was 20 years ago, but that's simply not true. If you were dumb enough to not shred the stuff, the minute it hit the garbage on the curb, it was fair game. It's no different than in this case. Find (and use) reliable encryption (or whatever) and you're taking stronger steps to protect yourself - just like shredding your documents.
I found and started playing around with iseek for my Master's classes and have been impressed with the results. Being able to ask questions using natural language is really helpful when I'm not sure exactly for what terms I'd be searching when I first start looking for answers.

That's what she said.
Which explains Fox News.
Are you nuts? Can you imagine the toxic fumes all those hippies will give off when they're on fire?? ;)
In Soviet Russia ... this doesn't happen ;)
Hell, I'd watch them if they were all in the same movie. Or at least the same scene ;)
I'm giving up being able to mod this article just to say that was a damn nice ST reference :)
So ship it but don't charge for the license.
It will, but it will only support jetpacks. And Snow Leapord ;)

Nah. Seemed kind of rhetorical

Depends if you want it to stay the whole night.

Yeah, next time try Bing

Well maybe in your universe
Kids! Kids! Stop arguing or I'll turn this universe around and we'll go straight home!
You're right! That damn map at the mall kiosk ... always knowing exactly where I am!

You mean if it's above a certain level?
