Is it possible that this box was taken over by a hacker and is trying to attack DoD addresses? As opposed to some alleged "phone home" behavior that Vista is showing?
That's an internship, I'm talking about real employment. I would assume that for an internship interview, the only thing to talk about are your classes and grades, correct?
I've interviewed and made hiring decisions for 300+ people in the last few years for a Fortune 50. Be careful drawing too much advice from pure academics on real world companies and how they operate.
I don't care what school you attended, classes you took, or your grades (sorry to burst your bubble if they told you otherwise in school). In the absence of relevant work experience, I care about your major, whether you finished your degree, and any school work that _tightly_ relates to the job. Mainly, I care how well you perform on my interview questions/problems, your demeanor, and attitude. Of additional importance is how you convey your relevant experience and make the sale for how you can excel in the job.
Your answers to my questions tell me much more about you than your transcript can. Also, I always spend part of the interview drilling into what you tell me are your technical strengths to serve as a combined integrity and technical depth test.
The reasons for this approach are many, but mainly because I've seen community college drop-outs operate with higher effectiveness than MIT grads (of which I've hired a few). I don't want to lose out on a truly gifted person by giving undue weight to credentials. I need both short term and long term potential. A fancy school and high grades tell me a little about your long term potential, but doesn't tell me as much as you might think.
I had trouble with this too, but here's the explanation that finally helped me have an "Aha!" moment and finally get it:

"ask yourself why we actually take this for granted instead of suing Microsoft into oblivion...."
Because that's as silly as suing car manufacturers because people can steal the cars or suing phone manufacturers because telemarketers can call and annoy you.
"Simple refactoring, such as changing a Class name, or changing a Class's package, are major headaches in VS..."
You haven't worked with Whidbey (VS.NET 2005) have you? There are some truly awesome things now on the right click menu choice "Refactor" for doing exactly those things. You highlight some code and can choose: Rename (changes it across the whole project), Extract Method, Encapsulate Field, Extract Interface, Promote Local Variable to Parameter, Remove Parameters, and Reorder Parameters.
Additionally, you can also click to insert or surround with snippets of any typical programming structure like: for loops, struct, class, method, foreach, iterator, namespace, ctor, class, etc. etc. you can click something and find all references clickable in the search window, etc.
I find them so useful that now I get the creeps using the older versions of VS that don't have them.
You've been treated very badly, yet you cannot put the game down? You should give that little tidbit more thought than why they forced a name change on you...
No matter how weird things get, the air will clear when ground control calls to remind the crew, "if you miss the timing on this deorbit burn, you're all going to burn to death."
No Earth-based station simulation is going to completely capture the urgency of real space travel.
The reason retail stores are not offering Linux is because laptops are flying off the shelves already. It doesn't help that when people ask for Linux and the answer is 'No', that they buy anyway.
When some outfit turns into a big player like Dell because they are offering all sorts of custom hardware/software configs, then folks will get the message and you'll be able to get this on every street corner. The big problem here is momentum. There are not enough incentives yet for big business to grab ahold of Linux and run with it. Big business are the ones that really matter, because they are placing orders for tens and hundreds of desktops at a time. Not only does the Linux platform have to offer comparable functionality (read business applications), but there also has to be a big enough incentive for the labor and training expenditure to switch. Perhaps if Linux gets this far, then the price point of Linux is the ultimate pivot point and things start landsliding over to the Linux side.
Editor arguments can be avoided when you just stick to writing the facts.
For example, your situation happened because someone was trying to add a judgment-based tag to the side effects, calling them "good, bad, neutral". People's judgment differs and isn't very important anyway. Let readers decide what's good and bad and just write the facts.
In 2004, of those paid by the hour, 520,000 were reported as earning exactly $5.15, the prevailing Federal minimum wage, and another 1.5 million were reported earning wages below the minimum. Together, these 2.0 million workers with wages at or below the minimum made up 2.7 percent of all hourly-paid workers.
So this means to me that minimum wage ensures that about 2.7 million Americans do not end up as slaves. Earning minimum wage is not a problem for most of America, but it certainly makes lives better for a few million and I think it is ultimately worth the extra buck or two for a cheeseburger.
"Software developers would be forced to write more secure codes to avoid crippling insurance rates."
This doesn't ensure anything about the code. The finest coders on the planet still don't write bug-free software. If anything, this raises software development costs by funneling money to insurance companies. This also forces people to code only in companies that can afford the exposure and insurance. Bye bye to the lone dev and their contributions. Overall we lose some devs and increase insurance company revenue. Bad trade in my opinion.
"I thought conservatives liked small, non-intrusive government."
Any group that wants to push their will onto other people needs big government. It's the people who want to live free that want small, non-intrusive government.
"the world wide web itself has come unto its own without war."
Yes, but the WWW was built on top of a technology that was invented due to preparations for nuclear war: ARPANET.
There are many technologies that the commercial market can't get a quick enough profit on, so they don't invest in it. But when you throw billions at an agency doing something so important as killing the enemy (perceived or real), then you suddenly have justification and funds to do things the commercial market may not be able to justify or sustain.

I consider security software to be drop-dead boring, but a necessity. If others think like me, then that can explain lack of community involvement.
I appreciate the amount of work that is involved in keeping Slashdot populated with headlines, but it does no one good to manipulate the headlines so badly.
Click Preferences/HomePage and uncheck ScuttleMonkey for posting misleading headlines... I just did, along with Zonk.
This dramatic video should drive up the demand, which later should make the systems more common and make it more likely that people will be able to afford these systems.
This is awesome!
Send the white-collar criminals to the prison daily to clean the prison toilets, serve food to inmates, and teach their classes. They just don't sleep and shower there out of concern that they won't live through it.
"Just because some people like it enough ( MMORPG nerds ) to pay for it doesnt make it have a real actual value."
The fact that someone is willing to pay for it means it *does* have actual real value. That's almost the only useful meaning of "value", that someone is willing to buy something.
Heck, I think people paying hundreds of dollars to sit in a certain seat for a sporting event is dumb, but other people pay big money for it, thus it has real value. They don't even get to take the seat with them, but they pay more than the seat costs.
However, I see two problems:
1. Someone broke the rules of the game using a bot (I assume their EULA says you can't do this or otherwise he didn't cheat and this is moot.)
2. The people who got robbed act like they either didn't want or didn't know they could be killed and looted. Sounds like they need these folks need a click-through agreement screen at logon that tells them they can get killed and looted, or choose not to play.
Someone getting arrested over this is an eye-opener to me. How this is actually a crime, unless it is simply a EULA violation enforceable by law, is beyond me. What if they guy didn't use a bot, would it still be considered a crime?
You're welcome to write as much software for free as you like, but why do you care what other people do for money? I assume you're not writing OSS software specifically to destroy capitalism in the IT industry.

Trying to stay on this crowded planet could be the worst thing for the environment.
So that means they would see the Big Bang Burger Bar.

that EA is sponsoring this?
Of course, EA is well known for it's educational games. Sounds more like Pepsi sponsoring drink vending machines in schools to me...
