"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." --James D. Nicoll
Or you know you could just laugh at the joke, because it sounds like the engrish mistranslations.
Even if it is the correct usage.
Don't forget

places like best buy, who have a "security guard" at the front door, often have a foot switch that can cause the detectors to give a false positive. Just so they have a "reason" to stop you.
I ask this only because I so rarely see something so offensive here: Doesn't/. have an abuse reporting mechanism? I would never advocate removing posts that were controversial, but this is not such a post. This is unrelated to the topic at hand, obviously intended to be inflammatory and really has no place here.
you must be new here.
I would say just over half of the posts are obviously intended to be inflammatory and really have no place here
the "abuse reporting mechanism" is the mod system. I suggest that you browse at +1 score.
personally I browse unfiltered because the down side to the mod system is that often times people mod based on personal opinion.
example: If I were to say that Linux is not a solid operating system. (just an example hold your mod points this is not my real opinion) i would most likely get modded down.
but back to the point, I think you should browse at +1 if not +2.
well so much for trying to lighten the conversation....
My interpretation is based on the the ideas of free exchange of information, where as yours is based on the lawyer packed corporate environment.
I can paint you in a bad light too. it dose not prove anything, and it dose not get any thing accomplished.
It was never the students privilege to access or examine that drive or share. He had no permission and no authority to do so. Moreover, he did not have the authority to determine if a drive is supposed to be public or not. It is not his place to make the determination.
according to TFA..
"All that was needed to access the information was a district password. School officials have admitted that thousands of students, faculty and employees could have accessed the same file for up to two weeks
not only was he granted access but so was every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the district. the incompetent admin set the permissions wrong. not the kids fault. Charge the whole district with hacking.
and how dose one discover they can access a drive with out opening it?
not to mention that to figure out if this drive is public, or is meant to be privet, requires some looking around. More so if the drive was left wide open!
A wide open drive on the network is typically a public drive, and there is noting wrong about being in a public drive.
But if you are in what you think is a public drive and see privet information, then you inform the admin.
this is what the kid did by my interpretation
If you don't look around you look like a fool.
Student: "Admin (oh God of all Gods!(sorry had to:D)) this network drive is wide open! Admin: "My child that drive is the public storage drive. It's purpose is to be open to facilitate the free exchange of files between users." Student: "I have much to learn Admin" Admin: "yes you do grasshopper, yes you do. now snatch this SD Card from my hand!"
This is just a fictional example. (with some humor to lighten the conversation)
Opening a closed but not locked door and entering a building without permission is still against the law. It is called breaking and entering.
Yes, but walking down the street brushing door handles with your fingertips, noticing that a door is open, and calling the owner/cops to let them know the security of the building is compromised.
This is not illegal.
this is a closer analogy to what occurred by my interpretation (bold for emphasis)
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.
Despite your ridiculously low slashdot ID, your analysis is wrong.
First off (#25300915) is not low you are only 374 people apart from the GP....
Compare your number to mine if you want low (side note, I am not stating that my point is anymore valid then anybody else based on a number assigned to me when I joined slashdot.) we are 24,414,941 people apart.
secondly most of your rebuttals are completely missing the point.
You are taking this form...

Slashdot Mirror
You answered 27 out of 33 correctly 81.82 %
:D
Average score for this quiz during November: 77.3% Average score: 77.3%
you did a little better then me
but I have some arguments about some of the questions.
mostly Question #33-- could have been A or D
and
Question #6-- could have been B or D
they still have that clause.....
oops

when did the translators for zero wing start editing for slashdot?
Never said it was, ;)
I think its straight up dirty.
I guess i forgot to add the obligatory "It's a trap!"

You could have killed someone, shall we arrest you for murder even though there is no evidence you actually did kill someone?
Were you on the draft team for the Patriot Act?
but seriously. He did not hack he stumbled. Should I charge you with trespassing if you trip and fall in to my front door pushing it open?
Your interpretation is foolish and self-serving.
