I hope Apple makes very sure that "micro-transactions" don't let developers try to keep slipping their fingers into my wallet quietly.
Yes, it is very clearly marked with a popup window that asks you "Do you want to purchase (insert item here) for (insert price here)" window that you have to confirm or deny. They showed an example of this in the 3.0 press conference when they announced it.

they gave command to a cadet when more senior officers were still alive
... a cadet who was on disciplinary review for allegedly cheating on a test, and should not have even been on the ship in the first place, if it had not been for Bones smuggling him on board.
I dont think that the poster who suggested wearing a pink piece of clothing was referring to a dress shirt. Wearing pink when dressing up, seems to be more accepted. I think he meant wear a pink t-shirt, or something that you do NOT wear to work. Like try wearing a pink shirt to a bar or night club and see how people react.
The problem isn't that they needed AV on the computers. The problem that there were no checks to make sure that unsecured (a.k.a the astronaut's personal USB drive) devices made it onto the shuttle in the first place.
If NASA is so great, why is it that the only way you can get funding is to threaten to throw my ass in jail if I don't feel like paying for it?!?!
You are not paying a specific tax that goes for NASA. You pay general taxes, which the government uses to pay for NASA, education, etc. While your idea of private funded space exploration is nice, the hundred bucks that you and some other like-minded people choose to donate does not compete with the hundred million to billion dollar budgets required to build and operate a space operation.
Does that book say what industry those jobs were in? I'd be willing to bet that most of them are in the IT, high tech or software development industries. The point of this article was in relation to IT and software development, not all jobs. Sure the people who's jobs can't easily be off shored (Doctors, Lawyers, teachers) don't have anything to worry about, but for those who's job may be subject to off shoring, this book might be useful.
It's OK, if I get pulled over I'll just Badge 'em.
It's widely known that police do give leniency to other police with regards to traffic violations (speeding, expired tags, etc). I'm sure that when it comes to criminal offenses, the Police Internal Affairs would get involved to investigate.
This is also why Social Security in America is in trouble. People are living longer meaning that they are collecting money from SS faster than it is being replenished by the work force.
Then why not release your first book for free, as some record artists are now doing? If you want to get your name out there, then give the first one away for free. If enough people download it, then you go and get it published in paper, as well as the rest of your books.
The reason this may stand up is that in the drug case it is SELLING the drugs that is illegal.
No, I'm pretty sure that the act of purchasing illegal drugs, is also illegal, because you are now in possession of said drugs.
The same argument could be made for cops posing as prostitutes. Prostitution is illegal, but the police are not committing a crime by posing as a prostitute.
As another poster commented, it is because the police are sanctioned to be posing as drug buyers, etc. If the police/FBI were to be the ones downloading/making available, then I think it would hold up in court. Since these investigations are being done by private companies, I don't think that it will hold up.
Ever hear of CNAMEs? Each device can have more than 1 name associated with it. You can give it the purposeful name as you suggest for tracking purposes, and give it another name so that you can easily type it when accessing it.
ssh'ing to homer.company.com is easier to type than houston-smtp4.company.com.
* Fingerprints are a terrible idea because you leave a copy of your private key on everything you touch.
* Voice recognition is a terrible idea because everyone within earshot can hear your private key.
* Retinal scanning would fail if someone was in an accident or had surgery or something. * Even though you leave your finger print that wont help the thieves. They are not going to follow around the thousands of people to capture their fingerprints.
* Voice recognition, same as fingerprints.
* So you get in an accident, you go in and get your retinal scan updated.
I think they should use biometrics, in addition to a PIN. As other people have stated, security should be what you know, and who you are.
Don't signed certs also protect against phishing? When you go to your bank website, their cert is signed by a CA. If a phishing website is trying to trick you into giving them your username, they won't be able to have an SSL website that has the CA signed cert, which should be a red flag to a user that something is not right.
A position on the board? That is supposed to be "not boring"?
Personally, I think a board position would be boring, but that's me. And, how long does it take to get to that position? You'll probably have to spend 10-15 years working your way up through the IT chain to get to CIO/CSO before anyone is going to consider you for a board position. I don't think a board seat is the top of the list for most IT people.
Regarding your analogy, that does not apply to P2P. When you load a P2P client on your computer, the 2 purposes of the software are to download software from other people running similar software, and to then upload those files to other people running the similar software. So essentially running P2P is like saying "Free music, take as many as you want". Can you give an example of "making music files available" without expecting them to be distributed?
Now, I have not RTF 17-page paper, so this may not be related to this case...

Attorneys get respect by Joe Sixpack. The tech field sadly gets nothing but contempt.
I think you got that backwards. How many lawyer jokes are there compared to IT worker jokes?
It was more obvious when I had line breaks
Preview button FTW.

And we will pay through the nose for them.

Just because its in the contract doesn't make it legal.
If you sign the contract, you agree to those terms. Legality has nothing to do with this.

You are correct. Cyanide smells like Almonds. Arsenic, when heated, smells like Garlic. At least, according to wikipedia...

Of course DirectX runs on XBOXes... They're made by Microsoft! Do you see DirectX running on OSX or Playstation or Wii?

Aren't those related? In order for one person to download music, someone else has to distribute it.
