Exactly so. For another example, if I'm going out to eat in a restaurant, I cant first order the food and drinks and only after that decide if it was good enough to be paid. Just imagine how many people would say it was bad if with that reasoning they could walk away from the restaurant without paying for the food.
Well since this is Slashdot let me try to explain this in a car analogy. I drive a full functional car at the dealer, and if I don't like it I just walk away without paying it, and I do I buy it.
Randy: And so what have we learned through this ordeal? The internet went away. It came back. But for how long, we do not know. We cannot take the internet for granted any longer. We, as a country, must stop over logging-on. We must use the internet only when we need it. It's easy for us to think we can just use up all the internet we want. But if we don't treat the internet with the RESPECT (pounds the podium with his fist)...that it deserves, it could one day be gone forever. So let us learn to live with the internet not for it. No more browsing for no apparent reason. No more mindlessly surfing on our laptops while watching television. And finally, we must learn to only use the internet for porn twice a day. Max
A huge number of people in the military play WOW from Iraq, so I suspect the OP is lying anyway to try to make a point.
Um... what? I was deployed to Iraq (an airbase) and Japan (Iwakuni,Japan) and didn't see WoW played at either location. We couldn't get the Internet in our barracks room in Japan, we had to go to the public leisure room to surf the Internet.

Not sure about what colleges you went to but off-campus housing > *, only reason I thought people live in the dorm was because it is required for the first two years for new students.
If they're charging a max of $75 for the overages, whats to stop someone from using the $29.95 plan, and maxing the fee...effectively getting an unlimited plan for $104.95 (plus obligatory taxes of course)
Where I have Time Warnter the $29.95 plan is capped to 1.5 Mbps, while there other plan is caped at 6 Mbps, although I'm not in their bandwidth limit testing area, so could be different but I would imagine it is the same.
Every time I read something like this, makes me love Valve more and more. Take example of their latest release Left 4 Dead, the game was fairly short 4-5 hours. There are basically four campaigns for the game in which it is you plus three others against the zombie AI, fun for the first couple of times. The bigger attraction imo was versus where it's 4 VS 4 except you swap from the survivor team to the Zombie team. The downfall of that was there was only two of the four campaigns was available for versus.
Well Valve has retooled the other two campaigns for versus added in a new mode called Survival. This update will be FREE for both PC and 360 users, while I'm not surprised the PC update was free but in the 360 land not charging for something like this is honestly very uncommon.
Just look at Bethesda and charging $2.50 for some new shiny armor for your horse that does nothing. Another example was Call of Duty 4 charging $10 to download four additional maps, while Valve goes around giving users free maps for Team Fortress Two.
If the worm got in, then there also exists a way out, private network or not.
The only way data is leaving off that private network is a) someone plugs the network into the unclassified network, or b) some copys the disk to another media. A windows 3.1 machine on SIPRnet is secure, since there is no way for the machine to be accessed on the unclassified system.
Except that Windows has such a cult following that it's likely the authorities will turn a blind eye to the incident. Take the case where Windows somehow got onto base computers in Afghanistan [usnews.com] and were subsequently owned by malware letting still more outsiders into the network. No one's been prosecuted publicly despite there certainly being a paper trail leading to the culprits.
You apparently have no clue how DOD classified networks work such as SIPRnet or JWICs. Anything classified has no connection to the unclassified internet. The SIPRnet and JWICS system passes though a KG-175, which in turns encrypts the traffic, to go though the normal network. If for example a windows SIPRnet, or JWICs system gets comprised with spyware. The only one who could touch these systems is people on the SIPRnet or JWICS. Just because the machine is comprised doesn't make the computer decide to send unencrypted data or open holes in the network, since any traffic leaving the network has to go though the KG-175. Now if some idiot user decides to connect a classified system to network, that's a much bigger issue that they call data spillage.
Any computer not classified is essentially on the NIPRnet (or unclassified network) for example, but the only data that is allowed on it is up to sensitive information such as SSNs, random forms, and TPS reports. Even flight schedules are not supposed to be NIPRnet.

some flash games are quite decent

'However, it is the use of the "melee" weapons such as the crowbar, axe, chainsaw and Samurai sword which inflict the most damage.'
That's odd, I think I'd rather be hit by a crowbar than blasted with a shotgun. Oh well, only one way to find out.
Do you happen to live in Australia by chance?
The LA Lakers are really purple? Or are you screwing with my colorblind eyes? I always thought they were blue =(
They took our jobs!

Posting something in the likes of asking your audience to sabotage the network infrastructure.
Funny how some stuff gets rushed to the front page, I don't think Digg was gullible enough to get that even close to front page.

People actually click on those links?

Think about what could porn could you look at back then, then tell me if you would still make the trade.
I'm paid $15/hour and I'm good at what I do. You can live pretty well here in the US for $15/hour.
You won't be driving a BMW, of course, but I find that luxury and living well are not necessarily the same thing.
$15/hour is a $31,200 year. That is fine maybe when your single, but when you get a family it is not.
when you pay them $15/hr and expect them to be good at what they do.

Your going to kill 5734 people?
My favorite while in the USMC, as a network admin was telling Marines to go install that USB printer on a NT machine.
