Maybe we should just put all the men 18 and over on an island to protect "society". Though they better send any money they make off the island because otherwise it would be discrimination against the people not on the island.
Will there be women on this island? And beer? Will there be beer? If both answers are 'yes' then there will also be children before you know it.
It's not like they're trying to scam you like spammers. More than anything this is a good thing so normal people can use fake identities with social networks too.
Thanks for the tip (I'll skip his journal and take your word for it). If his sense of humor measures at least as much as 1% of his faith then we all should be OK.
They probably already have some of their email. Why would they give them a warning and allow them to circle their wagons and reinforce their firewalls? They've probably already got the goods, have a backdoor into the servers, etc.
Does anyone else think this whole "cyber" thing has gotten out of hand? Someone needs to tell them that if they want to be taken seriously, they shouldn't use such a buzzword.
Who's going to teach all these 'soldiers of the cyber command'? Almost every state is getting rid of teachers en mass and making teaching a less desirable field to get into. Where are these cyber soldiers coming from?
All businesses pretty much adhere to a general way of operating, finance and accounting-wise. All retail is pretty much within, for example, 3%-10 margins on average.
Wow, you sure work in some sorry ass poor retailers. To me it looks like you have no clue about business. If you try to run a business on 3% - 10% gross margin then you need to go ask someone if they want fries with their order. The market decides what price point any particular producer can charge for their product and they charge what the market will support.
Is 30% way too much for Apple to charge for this "service"? IMHO yes, but they are charging what their market will bear. The content producers need to decide if they can live with losing 30% to Apple, increase the price for their product, find another digital delivery system or just sell it behind a paywall on their website. Apple's delivery system is not the only one available.
BTW, the digital distribution business model isn't 'retail'.
According to new stories I've read from other sites on the same subject, Apple forbids them from charging more to iOS users than they do through their own web storefront.
Yup... charge them all the same for the iSubscriptions/eSubscriptions, just price your product so it is profitable. If you don't then you won't be producing anything before too long. If your product ends up too expensive (eg, you'll need to charge more than the market feels it's worth) then your business plan needs some work.
Jones argues that music service subscriptions don't operate at margins "anywhere near 30%," and that the dramatic loss in revenue will be tough to survive.
Then price your products accordingly. People are willing to pay for iPads because of the convenience - they will pay for iSubscriptions for exactly the same reason.
The Senate won't pass this so it's merely symbolic on the part of the House. Way to manage your time well, boys and girls. Now get back to work on real problems!
Did you read the article? This is for people who have FOUR unexcused absences. That's hardly at the level of not wanting to learn or go to school - that's having something better to do every few months.
Yes I RTA. I posted about home schooling in response the AC. I didn't say I liked this tracking system... and you're absolutely right about "only four?" absences. AC didn't like this program and voiced his thoughts about home schooling. Home schooling will fix the problem with truancy but not the problem that may be causing the truancy or unwillingness to learn.
Ironic punishment time. Every one of the victims relatives and friends who desires to do so gets to run over Beas while they update their facebook page.
Wouldn't that be considered 'cruel and unusual punishment'? The victim was 70 so his wife would probably take forever to update her status with a cell while driving over Beas.
I'm pretty sure that the kids would exceed your assessment of them if they went to school and learned something. Putting all the responsibility on teachers is a cop out. Parents need to teach their kids too... and students need to learn. In the end the kids are responsible for how much or how little they've actually learned. A student with a book can learn many things without a teacher or parent. Without the student's cooperation a parent, teacher or book can't do a damn thing.
Anecdotes like this article make me want to homeschool my kid.
Home schooling is perfectly fine for those parents that can do it (not everyone can - it's just another skill set). Home schooling has its good and bad points, but it will certainly address the truancy issue. Will it fix the reasons why the student doesn't want to learn or go to school? Maybe, maybe not. If you have the choice between home school or reform school, I'm thinking home school is the better solution almost every time.
Threatening someone with jail time or fines if they don't volunteer is like saying there is a mandatory donation required to attend a free event.
They're not picking random kids off the street for this. These kids are already facing juvenile hall. They a had a choice: go to school or get in trouble. Now they have another choice: go to school and be tracked or go to juvenile hall. These kids already made the first choice so now they (and their parents) are forced to make the second choice.
I'm not thrilled with the program - I think they should just lock the kids up in reform school/juvenile hall/whatever. They have free will and they made their choice so let them live with the consequences. Maybe they'll learn from their mistakes, or maybe not.
It's not surprising that malware vendors are focusing on the fastest growing segment of the computer market. Android is going to be attacked with malicious intent from all sides. It's all part of the game: Success == Target
I guess it's running fake searches to up the 'autofill' for items on Google? Let's just hope it's not searching for iPhone related items. Man, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

I hope they hurry up and give him his computers back. He has a lot of work to do now that the new Sony Xperia Phone is on its way.

Nope, I'm sure their intentions are pure ... just like the movie studios who do this

Will it make the new /. work any faster ... or better ... or anything?

Wow. They have the internet in caves now?
That free WiFi goes places we never imagined.

When two groups of retards attack each other, no one wins...
You've obviously never seen Timmy vs Jimmy
