See, I spent my friday night in three different bars.
Note, however, that in one I was helping run a sound desk, in the second I was putting said sound desk in storage, and in the third I was being unwillingly forced to listen to poetry.
That's more than likely just the transformer. Since there is no direct link between the circuit on the mains side of the transformer and the circuit on the device side, even physically cutting the circuit on the device side won't affect the mains side. If a device has a built-in transformer, they really should have the power switch on the mains side (or on both). External transformers are much more of a problem.
I think that ISP costs should be left out of the whole equation. I don't believe anybody would get an internet connection solely for ITMS, and hence that cost is paid either way. Especially since you ordered your CDs online; you've used the same connection there and hence paid for it anyway.
The same applies to most large things administered by a small number of people. ISPs and network admins are another good example. They might be theoretically CAPABLE of watching everything you do using the network, but practically they can't. And almost certainly don't really want to either. The only time they'd be likely to bother watching you carefully is if you'd done something big to attract their attention.
So, who is up for making a number plate shaped LCD? Sounds like a good job for e-ink type displays! Granted, they might notice if your number plate changes at each camera (especially if you are always between the same two cars infront and behind).
Hmmm, but them noticing that is only really likely if humans are watching. And they won't be, ever. A system like this can't be anything but fully automated...
If they're intending to use the records to help prove guilt (or innocence - and I argue that it would be very easy to prove innocence with this data instead of having to rely on alibis, in the cases where innocent people are charged), then they clearly have to keep the records long enough to deal with any relevant court cases. Any shorter would be too short.
I think it would be more likely to prove innocence where it was doubted than to prove guilt. When you've got tracking records saying that you and your car were in a certain place at a certain time, you don't have to rely purely on alibis to prove your innocence.
A few random checks would not ensure compliance too well. As proven by, say, the number of people driving uninsured, or (until the new electronic system was brought in) the number of people driving without valid road tax discs.
Also, installing that many transponders, and then also the tracking gear, would be highly expensive too. And would SEVERELY clog up the airwaves...
Easy enough to do, though, since referer info is sent with any http request. I've not seen it on a Wiki acticle before, but I have seen it at least twice otherwise, specifically welcoming people coming from slashdot.
I'm not sure I can see any real reason for allowing people to opt out of organ donation after death. If your liver, say, can save someone's life, and you've no further use for it, what right do you have to denying the other person that chance at life?
There's a lot to be said for using standalone, specialised programs for most tasks. However, there are times when an integrated office suite is invaluable. I do quite a few reports and assignments for various reasons where the ability to integrate (and later edit) spreadsheets and graphs into text documents, for example, is invaluable.
I would suggest that the speed of that game in particular could be due to the Warden program... or the lack of much for it to check. Since it's designed to work with the Windows system specifically, scanning for cheating... I would guess that there's little for it to scan through on Linux/Cedega, so it would use less resources.
Those responsible for the decision should perhaps find the money already being paid to this kid coming out of their bank accounts and wages, instead of the school's funds.
The same person sitting there doing nothing and preventing them from restarting the site by hanging on to the backups... well, he's got the backups. Little difficult for anyone else to get the content from them.
Interesting, really, that the response to your comment comes from exactly the same article that you were berating people from not reading.

Did you not read the word "small"?

Ancient. But one of the better lightbulb jokes.
Nor can you assume there was any coercion, even if just by differing rank/position, unless you have proof of that.
Just go visit your local sperm bank. They'll pay you some amount of money (I think it's probably in the region of $20-$50).
I'm not sure I can see any real reason for allowing people to opt out of organ donation after death. If your liver, say, can save someone's life, and you've no further use for it, what right do you have to denying the other person that chance at life?
She's almost certainly lost absolutely nothing, in fact. Most eggs are wasted.
Unethical if she didn't do it willingly but was instead coerced into donating eggs.

Cats have agrav powers already. Just watch one leap up and claw your face when you annoy it, or something.
You ever bought a pair of trainers? Try that one again.
Well, I wouldn't have thought he could be much worse...

Agreed; there's no reason the school should pay out money that SHOULD be used to teach people.
However, I see no reason why the compensation shouldn't be paid right out of the wages of those responsible for the original decision.
