Exactly. There is no breaking-in going on. TFA says the problem is that lenders are mining in ways that aren't allowed by federal regulations. This leaves a few questions:
Why does the database system fulfill illegal search requests?
Do those who have been searching illegally still have access? If so, why?
What punishment exists for violating the regulations on what searches are allowed?
How much of the data stored on each student do these lenders actually have legitimate reason to know?
What hoops does a lender have to jump through to get access to the database?
This is a good thing: if an author doesn't care enough about his own work to register, why should we care enough about it to give it full, or any, protection?
Cause it's been my experience that most Slashdotters wouldn't know a kosher business practice if it came up and offered them a hot dog.
Easy way to tell: the hot dog it offers is all-beef.
But seriously, slashdotters do seem to judge business practices on moral grounds rather than on legal merit or purely self-centered criteria.
Any of your domestic air links (they are pretty pathetic and fragile for such high-volume intercity/state commerce) should be replaced by high-speed rail links. Not having to stop at intermediate population centres is a distinct advantage for such links! You have hundreds of millions of citizens, a vast amount of them living in cities at disparate locations. The map with lots of wilderness/sparsely populated areas is an irrelevance.
The distances airplanes are used for (except some of the shorter flights) are generally too long to make high-speed rail a nice way to travel -- going by high-speed rail, you would have to spend (at least) the better part of a day in transit. Generally, airplanes only stop at intermediate population centers when the trip doesn't start or end at a major airport.
High-speed rail would replace long drives and bus rides. A full day behind the wheel or eighteen hours in a bus could be replaced with a just few hours on a train. This is why I'd like to see high-speed rail here.
Now that is not enough we want our cake and eat it, we dont want ads now.
The only outcry I've seen against ads is when they aren't attached to an otherwise free service, such as spam (what service do we get in exchange for putting up with these?) or the in-game ads in Battlefield 2142 (if it's user-paid why do we have to put up with ads?). This isn't about having the cake and eating it too -- it's about being able to do just one of those.
That's a very typical American viewpoint. That's why your culture is failing. The lot of you would rather woolgather and play than be an active part of your society.
Ever here the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child"? That's active participation in society. Are you familiar with the fundamentals of democracy? That's active participation in society.
Not that there aren't disturbing shortages of those, but there's a heck of a lot more to being "an active part of society" than putting in hours at the office. Drones may be productive, but they aren't great for innovation/progress, and they're terrible when it comes to family life.
A triangular one fulfils that requirement. Think agian, sparky.
Actually, constant width is the central requirement, and triangles fall short there. If you turn a triangle so that one edge is vertical and then line it up along an edge of the hole it covered, it fits through, since the altitude is shorter than the side.
Simple (but time consuming) solution: go through the edit history and look for editor IP addresses 9.x.y.z
Pretty much anyone can edit Wikipedia, but you don't get complete anonymity.
Or because of too much sex education. Someone being taught how to do something is now going to go out and do it are they not?
Do you seriously think they wouldn't figure it out on their own? You can work on trying to keep kids from learning about sex. I'll make a documentary about it. I think I've got the perfect background music for it.
That said, I grew up with a pretty liberal sex education program, and have never heard of people being taught how to have sex (outside of strawman arguments, of course).
Not to mention that we give them an endorsement, a condom, to go out and do it while being protected.
So do you think having condoms increases the teen pregnancy rate?
Remember, pregnancy rates are generally higher where "abstinence-only education" is practiced.
Which do you want your degree to be more like, "___ engineering" or "___ engineering technology"?
For most people, it seems to make more sense to get a theory-based foundation in the classroom and then learn/implement practical stuff on one's own than to do it the other way around.
And how could you copyright the EULA anyway? AFAIK (IANAL), contract offers and the like are not subject to copyright, and the applicability of patent law to such things is questionable at best.

How about no more card-not-present transactions for a few years? (No card-not-present means no online business)
They don't even have to wait until the end of the contract term?
What had Mitnick obtained? Information.

So the question can be simplified:
Are the ion channels in the axon membrane opened by sound or voltage?
I'd have said Woodrow Wilson, but it's pretty much the same idea.
You can also make extra money by taking rights away and then selling them back.
How much of the program can I host without being in violation of anything?

I'm really no expert on this, so can someone explain why ftp doesn't fill these requirements?

You must be thinking of Quakers.
Assuming, of course, that the local D.A. feels like prosecuting the case.
I've heard people talk about making it so that victims can sue the D.A. for refusing to prosecute, but that seems a bit too extreme.

Charge him with illegal entry. Don't charge him with burglary.
