Problem is in Texas they hire good coaches and expect them to teach science and history too. After seeing enough grades bumped to particular students based on their extracurricular activities, that the teacher giving the grades shouldn't also be the same coach that needs the kid to get good grades.
>Whoa there, partner. That's not science: That's social role.
In the vast majority of the animal kingdom, the female chooses which male partner to breed with. The males of a great many species look superficially different then the females. Bright colors, fancy displays, loud noises and songs, antlers and horns.. These are the things most commonly found on males. The females, especially in non-pairing or social grouping animals are very bland in color.
That's not social role, that's evolution saying it's easy for a woman to get laid.
Your entire post is so ignorant as to how high bandwidth broadcasting works that one would have to start from the basics.
Um, the moon is close, really close as in compared to mars. It takes a whole lot less power to send a signal back to earth. The moon is close, you don't have to aim your signal so well to hit earth. Your antenna size is smaller. No direct line of sight to earth. It's on the far side of the planet to us. Any live signal would have to be transmitted via the MRO, if it's in line of sight at the time. Re-entry blackout. The moon has no atmosphere, mars does. Weight, landing on an atmosphereless, low gravity moon is a lot easier then landing on mars, rather then all the complicated heavy shit for landing cameras, save the payload for 'once we've successfully landed' science missions.
Ever tried finding something in real life? it is difficult, it takes time. You have to be able to perform searches and do things right. If I need a pen, I might have to take half an hour to find one in my apartment, same goes for a document or other relevant item. It is going to take time and effort and presence of mind, if you want something you can beat mindlessly, go play a game of tetris.
A really good game is an effective version of this...
A good game will take away focus from all the things that are unimportant around it. Life is so full of stuff and events that your brain develops very effective algorithms on what to forget. Most of the events that people call fun or games are about focusing on the details of just a few items, like cards and their numbers, dice, little multicolored blocks, or a ball full of air being tossed back and forth. Most pre-computer games should be noted for their lack of detail in everything but the subject the game is focusing on. Even most peoples jobs don't focus on the entire world around them, we focus on what our profession is, making burgers, compiling code, studying law, and the rest of the details we just don't notice. I tend to notice what kind of computers are in an office. I have friends that would remember the artwork, others that would remember the furniture.
There is a profession based studying the details to decipher events, investigators. The people who are investigators enjoy it, but it's not something the average person enjoys. In most games there has to be some kind of guiding so you don't get lost looking for a fucking pen for 30 minutes (which is unexcusable in your own place, just organize your shit if that's the case?). A game has to do this in a generic way so a playerbase can figure out whats going on before most people would give up.
Would be closer to what one would see in the logs that anonymous released. Not the actual content of what the users downloaded (of which 40GB would only be a few seconds of data for an isp.
(broke the links on purpose in case that site exists)
-The problem is how are we any better off for their actions?
One possible means.. Citizen outrage... "Hey hackers can get our data that the government makes the ISPs keep for poor reasons, LETS STOP THE GOVERNMENT FROM MANDATING DATA COLLECTION."
See the capitalized part. Yes some number of people were hurt by the hackers actions, but in this scenario many many more people were protected in the future. Now the proverbial ball is in the hands of the citizens of Australia 'to do the right thing', and make laws that protect them from not only hackers but dangerous governments too.
Making horrible insecure systems that concentrate data that would not normally be concentrated in one place is a terrible idea. Every single user of such systems is screwed the moment a system like that goes in effect. Your analogy is wrong, it goes like this.
"The government mandates that a gun is pointed at your head so they can pull the trigger if you act out of line. Anonymous pulls the triggers at random to show why this is a stupid fucking idea."
If you live in a poor neighborhood in KC, you should have left a long time ago, if not for internet, but for your own safety.
Come on now, Google is a business, they do want to at least break even, if not profit from this venture. The quickest way to do this is supply neighborhoods with high demand, people with money can demand more. Did Google ever say how they were going to roll it out? Did you make strange assumptions bordering on religion that they'd show up in your neighborhood first? Do you even have any idea how long it takes to string wire around a city, to every neighborhood and house? I'll tell you this, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a fiber network.
So what practical advantage will there be to 1Gbps? Crazy fast bittorrent? 15mbps fast enough for even the highest quality streaming data. It seems like if people can download a movie in less than a minute, piracy will go up significantly. MPAA can't like this.
Why pirate when you'll click on Google Movies (TM) an pay $1 to watch a HD version instantly? Fast internet + A reasonably priced, easy to use service and most people don't care about piracy. Also, HD is a lot more then 15mbps, Blue Ray is 40Mbps for 1080p. Even that is neglecting newer high res formats coming in the future.
You are also ignoring backups. Why backup online at a slower speed when you can backup faster?
Your statement makes so little sense that the mind boggles. I mean, WTF does that even mean? Cheaper bandwidth opens new avenues for data services that would not have been profitable before. Very few can afford 1GB at $100,000.00 a month, many people can think of a use for a 1GB service for $70.
Office is just a few $x bucks... depending on how many copies your talking about. Just because you need one copy doesn't mean the firm down the road doesn't need 10,000 copies when MS decides to make the 20XX default file format slightly different. Taxes are a cost of doing business, but in places where your business is located you get to represent the business and attempt to control how many taxes there are. With Office you get to pay a tax when MS decides its competitors are getting to close to having a workable substitute.
I will say that the office suite is one area where microsoft has a lot more competition and the 'consumers' of documents are getting smarter. Google's offerings have ate in to MS and they are worried about it. Also, I've seen many many offices send back poorly designed spreadsheets or their clients or the businesses they've received them from and demanded they don't embed stupid crap and follow standard practices when writing. Pretty amazing what the world can achieve when we don't accept every stupid piece of crap sent our way.
The US has evidently declared internet gambling immoral and will find a way to get you here to throw your ass in jail, so the thought of other countries trying what you say isn't out of the question, it's just the US has a rather big stick to beat the world with at this time. Just wait till China gets to use theirs.
I'm pretty sure the UK does still feel that way about Washington based on what I read on internet forums.
Lawyers talk from both sides of their mouth all the time, sometimes even at the same time. It is very common for people to switch from prosecution to defense in the life of ones law career. Defense generally pays better.
Sharing any part of your banking password with Twitter, Facebook, MySpace or any other site that makes money off selling your information or making money off ads is, retarded at best. You're not the customer to them.
Sharing part of a complex password to a site that deals with financial transactions is more likely to be safe, simply because the institution has more to lose if their security is broken. You are the customer, you pay for the service.
Places that take them off market when the government makes a suggestion that they should do so are probably only doing so to avoid litigation if some moron kills their kid with them.
Attourney "but you already had knowledge from the US government that buckynuts was dangerous, and little miss sally sue would be alive today if you followed it!" Jury "Gasp"
I could very well see that occurring. I've been on my cell for hours waiting on with other customers/staff to get a problem fixed. Was out in the middle of nowhere so another phone was not an option. The amount saved because I was available was far more then this guys card would have cost, both time and money wise.
On the accounts that aren't important who cares, but..
On the ones that are important at least do something simple like
$goodpassword+sitename
So you would have X43snv!yahoo or X43snv!citibank
That way any automated attacks with your scalped email and password would fail. A dedicated attacker may see the pattern and break in, but it's at least more time consuming for them.
That's why any number of groups astroturf and make fake posts about how good something is. Many of these stand out and are obvious, but the good ones blend in and are convincing.
In 2006 JD made 17 million USD from licensing its brand imagery. They have a very good incentive to protect what could be assumed to dilute its trademark. If the book writer feels they are non infringing then they are free to allow JD to take this to trial and both sides can argue their case in front of a judge as American law allows. Both sides have legal rights, what makes this 'case' different is JD isn't acting like a bowl of dicks about it.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Yes, it is. The other step of the equation is taxes generated by the private profit.
Of course these days the taxes are being spent in bailouts rather then public funding : /

They hacked his private photos and told him they'd release them to all his friends if he didn't like them.
