You should check out the totally open-source, free-software project currently being developed, WorldForge. It is still in progress, but they have a huge team and a lot is being done. Take it and run.
Find a Boomslang Razer mouse. It's not optical, but it has on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment, and its highest sensitivity is excellent for FPS games. They're a bit expensive, but if you're looking to boost your game this mouse is your solution.
I'm looking forward to the day that the NYT uses emoticons in headlines. Thanks,/., for showing me how classy and trust-inspiring that sort of thing can be!
I realize that this was supposed to be a joke, but I'll respond in all seriousness: there is overlap in the barcodes between businesses. In the grocery store a code might scan as a one pound bag of sugar, but that same code could represent a pair of pants at a department store. Fun has been killed, and I am sated.
I thought this would be an appropriate article to mention that, before the movie Underworld there was an industry sponsored commercial that asked us all to stop pirating movies. They used a few clips of an interview with a set designer, and he responded to the question of piracy by saying (I'm paraphrasing) "This doesn't really affect me, I get paid either way. Piracy only hurts the people at the top." Maybe they should have gotten someone else to comment. . .
Ouch. It isn't actually that they are planed smooth, it's that the wood is green when measured. As moisture disapates the wood shrinks. This isn't the case in the modern lumber business, where they give you a 1.5"x3.5" piece of wood, but that's mostly because they're cheap. 2 by 4 never actually meant 2 inches by 4 inches, and it has nothing to do with planing.
Not to invoke Godwin's Law or anything, but unethical acts aren't suddenly ethical because you're employed to do them. On the other hand, unethical acts aren't suddenly ethical because the person who is acted against is a jerk.
The facts, at the time this case received media coverage, were not well known.
The coffee cups didn't carry warning labels until after this case went to court.
The fact is, the coffee was unreasonably, dangerously, hot. It was served to drive-through customers at this temperature, which is also dangerous. The cups did not reasonably prevent spillage. This product, as offered, was dangerous. Companies that offer dangerous products should be liable for the damage that those products cause. This wasn't just a case of user error, and the woman was entitled to her settlement.
As an analogy, if Ford sold a car (let's call it the Pinto) that exploded when it got rear-ended, they would be liable for damages and have to issue a recall and stop selling the product. Oh wait, that happened.
But the thing is, you're broadcasting that you have for distribution a work that has a copyright held by someone other than yourself. In short, you're broadcasting that you are a criminal. If you put on your website that you are sharing music, and the copyright holder sees that, they haven't conducted a search or seizure that is in any way illegal. This is precisely analogous.
Yeah, the fourth amendment only restricts the government. It's not that they aren't honoring the law, it's that the law doesn't apply to them. This isn't a reason to trust them, sure, but it isn't a reason to distrust them either.

Hahahahah! Everyone else who replied to this is silly. The point is, it's the Royal We.
To re-phrase this question: "What are the security vulnerabilities of my exam software, and how can I exploit them to do well on my test?"

If you hadn't made this comment, I would have had to :-)
