I saw an episode of 20/20 or a similar show on one of the networks some years back. They tried keeping an old key and then they had someone check into the same room they had. They found that the code wasn't changed and that the old key could be used to gain entry into the room after someone else had checked in with a supposedly new key code.
Knowing that, it's not far fetched to assume that they are sloppy about erasing data on the cards. Then again, it seems that people throw them on the ground most of the time anyway. I guess stolen credit card info would count as a harsh fine for littering;)
But he's not allowed to use a computer! What kind of possible rooting could he experience in prison? It's not like he has a computer in his cell or in the shower room or anything.
It's probably more important to be more rounded by taking an occasional class that you don't think you "need" and/or doing a minor or two rather than formulating your degree solely on what you think is good for a job. You might just find that you like another field better than CS. Also, much of what you need for the job is self-taught and learned on the spot anyway.
Yeah, that will really suck. At least the $500 hammers were used to pound nails and the $800 toilet seats were used on toilets. Or at least I hope they were.
Comprehensive School Reform $205.3 million
Education Technology State Grants $496 million
Even Start $225.1 million
Safe and Drug Free Schools Grants $437.4 million
School Dropout Prevention $4.9 million
Smaller Learning Communities $94.5 million
Teacher Quality Enhancement $68.3 million
Vocational Education State Grants $1.19 billion
On the college side, they changed Pell grants so that fewer students could get them and they also didn't increase the awards with inflation.
Considering that the government has severely increased spending (Iraq, Katrina) while decreasing money input (less taxes taken in), something is going to suffer.
Education is almost always at the front, and I'd say that NASA is second in line for the big axe.
...mockups of the Lunar Excursion Module, and fake moon surface...
I wonder if this is the same fake moon surface they used for the Apollo 11 "mission." It can't be - it has to look better since it will be in color and... 3D!
So I'm going to keep this handy. I'm going to be referencing this for the rest of my career. I am going to keep this handy because now let's go to the story that I had from yesterday.
What can be done about draining and rebuilding New Orleans in light of the massive flooding, and what can be done to prevent and/or lessen such disasters in the future?
That's a good question considering that New Orleans, already below sea level, is sinking at a rate of about a meter (three feet) per century. Three feet per century doesn't sound like much, but the city is expected to be under water by the year 2100.
I could care less what people's vehicles look like. I'm referring to the pickups spewing thick black clouds over 100 yards. Way too much of that where I am.
This seems so extreme. How about instead of going from NY,NY or SF,CA to Nowhere,USA they just go to a cheaper state in a decent city. Like places in the Midwest (the Baltimore based company could have tried a suburb of Chicago or something and saved money).
I'm going to college in a pretty rural spot right now, and it's driving me crazy after living in various metros. The food choices suck, the entertainment is low, and I'm sick of all the poorly maintained pickups.
The long-lived mice in the new experiments tend to be less fertile.
This sounds like a fair trade off to me. The world is already overcrowded and the population is growing exlosively. If suddenly everyone was living to be 130, not only would the population grow from that, but people may also have more children than they currently do.

My guess is that this works because NY Times lets you view stories from google news without logging in.
You may be on to something... Look at the quality of FM and AM radio. Total crap with way too many commercials. The person responsible for the modern radio format is also the guy who created XM Radio, a pay service that has no commercials. What a coincidence!
Well, you don't say what country you are in, but here in the US, we have a child worshipping society that seems to have sprung up overnight.
The typical response is "they are just kids" or the kids would play dumb and nothing would happen. Their word is always taken over an adult's and that doesn't happen, all they have to do is scream "molester!" and they automatically win the argument.

If we reverse engineer the Quantum Link, we might get enough power to emit a tachyon beam to disrupt the neutrino field the Cardassians are emitting.
Oh, oops, thought this sounded like some Star Trek technobabble.
Damn, that should have been "I ScuttleMonkey trying to tell us something in a series of Freudian slips?"
No, it wasn't a Freudian slip of my own.

If they would stop eating around the hard drives, leaving crumbs in them, we wouldn't need to use Raid to take care of the cockroaches in them. Ugh.

Now people don't have to be squeamish and use euphemisms for mom's lesbian lover. You can come right out and introduce people to your two mothers!

One might say that the name is fitting, like a phoenix that has risen from the ashes of a previously failed project.
Rush Limbaugh has already stated that he will be referencing the article.
So I'm going to keep this handy. I'm going to be referencing this for the rest of my career. I am going to keep this handy because now let's go to the story that I had from yesterday.
Three feet of sinking plus other issues, like rising water levels. Here, read this time story:

If we had an infinite number of ScuttleMonkeys typing this story, they would eventually get the grammar correct.

I don't know, I've seen a lot of films in the past 10 years that blow away everythin else. Some examples:
Run Lola Run (German)
A Tale of Two Sisters (Korean)
Vera Drake (British)
Following (British)
Oh wait, there's a theme here. These films aren't coming out of Hollywood! I also know that I've seen some good US made indy films.
