I can assure you, ISO is alive and well, and will be around for a many good years. Many different types of industries use ISO for some type of standards certification. Hell, there's an entire industry for registrars to do pre-auditing for ISO.
Comcast could do what they should be doing. Number 1 is using the tax-payer money that they were given to upgrade their infrastructures. Number 2 being that they could give a quality service.
Wow, anecdotal evidence of one person! Geeze. Doesn't follow the whole "unlikely" bit I was going for? Unlikely doesn't mean it won't ever happen, it just means the chances of it happening are small.
This reasoning I agree with. You're absolutely correct here. False positives are enough to be a deterrent for use.
I just don't buy the anecdotal evidence of people claiming malicious intent by another person. It happens, but you also probably have the same chance for getting caught sharing copyrighted material online, and really, it's probably less than that.
There's always someone posting what you wrote, and I always laugh. Not because it couldn't happen, but because the chances of it happening to any given person is unlikely.
I don't disagree that universities shouldn't be using this information to make their decisions, but not for the reasons you've given.
Well, yes and no. Yes, in the fact that sites like myspace and what you post for everyone to see isn't private. It's still personal, but that's just semantics.
In the same token, there are things we can and do privately on the internet, but I doubt you were really targeting that with your post. So this is a bit moot.
Honestly. It's no news that high school kids drink, do drugs, and fuck each others brains out. So what? You expect them to not do that when they need to wind down?
I think a reality check is in order. I can understand checking for a long history of a criminal background and seeing that they've done nothing to curb it, sure. They're probably a liability; but some kid who parties with his friends? No more or less a liability than the next person, given the odds.
Well that's great that you have that degree, but not everyone does. To people who aren't too familiar with that area of study or work, saying "30 tons" paints a much better picture in the reader's minds.
Actually, they could fire them for being black, white, green, purple, up, down, northwest, it doesn't matter. However, they can't just openly say it or write it down. They have to come up with another reason, even if it's not even remotely true.
And that's the entire problem with those "right to work" or "at will" states. Besides, the majority of people who are fired never ask questions or sue.
I hope you're just being purposely dense and just sort of trolling, but I'll bite anyway.
The obvious reason it needs fixing is because it's broken anyway. Even if you don't want the idiot users using the product, it would make it easier for your existing user base. And that doesn't even necessarily mean dumbing it down. It just means that it's less of a hassle to use overall.
And how would they go about fixing their usability problems if those very people didn't use the operating system in the first place? If something isn't easily usable, it in a way, is broken. And if they aren't going to fix the usability of it, all of the other "improvements" will be largely for naught.
That was the whole point. And I'd never directly call my coworkers anything remotely derogatory; but other people, like the idiots here who can't comprehend a few sentences? They're fair game. So yeah, you are a moron. Moron moron moron. I just call it like I see it.
Well, I certainly wouldn't hire someone who couldn't discern the difference between work personalities and personal life personalities either. So please, never apply for a job where I work. It'll save me some hassle.
Well if it costs you tens of thousands of dollars in cleanup, maybe you should have taken the time to secure it better in the first place so you're not wasting more money in the long run!
From the financial side, you have no one to blame but yourself.
This, of course, is assuming it was just a white-hat hacker.
I honestly don't understand the obsession of bitching about having to do things right the second or third time because someone found bugs in your device or software. It's simple. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
You don't need impulse to play the game. When I bought the game, for the first few days I had it, I didn't download impulse to use it. You can also find the updates elsewhere, if you really want to, to bypass impulse for the updates.

A lot of companies conform to ISO standards for two reasons:
The first being that it brings in more money. Once you're ISO certified, people take you a little more seriously.
Secondly, it really helps companies that are disorganized with their documentation to be a whole lot more organized, which has a lot of huge benefits.
I can assure you, ISO is alive and well, and will be around for a many good years. Many different types of industries use ISO for some type of standards certification. Hell, there's an entire industry for registrars to do pre-auditing for ISO.
I hate to burst your bubble, but providing an internet service makes you a telecom. So does providing a television service.
Wiki - Not that AC's like the use of Wikipedia or anything.
Too bad the black holes it could create don't matter.
Comcast could do what they should be doing. Number 1 is using the tax-payer money that they were given to upgrade their infrastructures. Number 2 being that they could give a quality service.
Just saying...
Should read "Doesn't that...".

But at what scope? How much should we learn? How much is necessary?
Because obviously every person should spend every spare moment posting on slashdot, and learning everything there is to know about anything.

Ok, moron, keep going.
The point you're missing here is that Creationism (Christianity - ID) being taught in schools has been largely an American phenomenon.
That was the whole point. And I'd never directly call my coworkers anything remotely derogatory; but other people, like the idiots here who can't comprehend a few sentences? They're fair game. So yeah, you are a moron. Moron moron moron. I just call it like I see it.
Oh man, some fuck-wad who refuses to show any sort of identity is picking on me for a fucking typo. Waaaaaaaaaaah! Piss off, maggot.
Why don't you come off of it? There is absolutely nothing wrong. It's unclear because you refuse to look at the scope of the topic.
