At least it has some news content. Remember three or four years ago when a Cambridge student newspaper article whose content was essentially "Cambridge student gets drunk" made it to the national press?
It's a legitimate concern if the university computer systems don't provide enough security to ensure that their personal information was secure.
It's stronger than that: the University has a legal obligation under the Data Protection Act 1998:
Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.
I've stared at your post for a long time trying to work out what you mean. Please put me out of my misery by telling me whether the second word should read "precedents".
this breast painting thing definately sounds like a hoax to me
Have a look at 419eater.com or a similar site. Photos of the scammers are valued trophies, so it's a case of working out a passable reason for needing a photo of the scammer. That's the whole point of the breast-painting thing, and in that light it becomes not merely plausible but elegant.
Depends on the asymmetries of the toilets. The Coriolis effect is negligible on that scale when compared to effects caused by manufacturing imperfection. (Not to mention that it's due to the Earth's rotation rather than its magnetic field).
That's a major part I like in the GPL - it's not an EULA (though some programs stupidly splash it in your face with an "I Accept" button the first time the program is run). If you don't like it, you can still use the software. It's only if you wish to do things normally forbidden by law (copying, modifying) that you have to accept the GPL.
Depends on the jurisdiction. Current legal opinion seems to be that under English law running a program involves copying it to RAM. Fortunately the GPL allows copying which doesn't involve distribution essentially without restriction.
But there's more truth in that than you think. Someone in my town committed suicide last November when they realised that they'd been scammed: they'd been relying on the money promised to pay off some large debts.
The common definition of "broadband" seems to come from marketing people, or at least people who know nothing about comms. I refuse to use the word on principle, since what is intended is "high capacity".
So P2P applications will only be written by people outside the US. If he wants to stop P2P, he should try outlawing possession of a P2P app.

Don't forget that the Earth isn't planar. Assuming it's a sphere, which isn't too far off,
Area = 2 PI R^2 (1 - cos theta) where theta is angle subtended by diameter cos theta = 1 - Area / (2 PI R^2) But diameter = R theta so radius = arccos(1 - Area / (2 PI R^2)) * R / 2 = arccos(1 - 300,000 mi^2 / (2 PI * (6371 km)^2)) * 6371 km / 2 = arccos(1 - 777000 km^2 / 255000000 km^2) * 3186km = arccos(0.997) * 1980 mi = 153 miles.

So the Proctors enquire of the editor as to the veracity of that claim. Even Oxford students could spot that flaw in your plan.

Indeed - there isn't a Cambridge campus.

There doesn't appear to be a Debian package for Arrrrrrgh yet.

Alas, Amazon doesn't list it, but if you can find a copy somewhere read Bureaucrats and how to annoy them by R.T. Fishall.

The opposite of "Give Bin Laden arms to fight the USSR" isn't "Rip the constitution into shreds", so what's wrong with opposing both?
No, we're vaguely assured that [i]true[/i].
That's a shame, because the best bit is right at the end.

This same text is found a couple of posts up. Just to satisfy my curiosity, did you copy it from that post or from a third party?
So why did I go a few hours unable to get to Google a week ago?
If everyone were... Subjunctive mood. Yes, I've got karma to burn.
A few scripts to get you started.
Maybe that'll be the next thing in mp3 players: control it by clapping, like some keyring-locator systems.
