If the school is telling you to turn on the anti-theft program on a school laptop what is your argument you would make to the administrators to let them know that what they are doing is wrong?
Secondly, how would you know that it would be wrong for them to turn on the anti-theft tracking software in the first place?
Not only the request to do it, but the request to stop it.
I'm sure the school administrators requested for the access, but forgot to request for the access to be terminated once enough information was procured letting the pictures just pile up like emails in a discontinued email address.
Anyone who is sane would keep their mouths shut about it.
It's kinda like the sailors who talked about the rogue waves, it wasn't until it was properly documented that they no longer considered the victims of rogue waves of just being bad sailors and bad liars.
Besides its not like it would need high explosives. Squirting some water on the satellites would cause some interesting damage that would be hard to track down.
He predicted a small communication device that could communicate in voice via transmissions that allowed you to talk to other people thousands of miles away and would also interface with normal phone lines. At least that is what I got out of the article.
Sounds a lot like a cell phone to me, then again it also sounds a lot like HAM radio.
In his head what he was predicting probably in no way shape or form come close to what we think he was predicting.
I hate to say it, but Greenpeace does not care for any sort of facts.
They are the birthers of the environmentalists.
As an example, read a nice little article by them regarding the type of processing that is done for toilet paper. Any company that did not respond to their request was assumed to use the most environmentally damaging processing. Greenpeace then used this information to say that XX% of TP is made using these really harmful processes.
In short, Greenpeace is full of shit and they are afraid to wipe.

How often does IT get to make moral decisions?
School Administration "Hey, activate the anti-theft program on XXXXX due to non-payment."
School IT "I'm sorry, I don't believe I'll do that because I don't trust your decision making abilities."
School Administration "Bye Bye"

For small values of support.
And remember who writes the checks these days.
All the sports fans want to say that College Football pays the bills these days.
Well darn.
How much could we increase it if we started sending Kipper belt objects at Mars?
Possible?
No not really.

I would imagine that any liquid there must be rather saturated with iron and other metals, salts, and enzymes.
There may be a good chance that our blood could be a good substitute for the liquid that is native to their environment.
In short, the Martians want to drink our blood.
I know what I'm talking about, what the frak are you talking about?
being topless in most places is not an actual crime.
It only becomes a crime when women go topless for money in public.
You can show it for free in public, or charge in a private place, but you cannot charge if you're showing it in public.
Considering those laws I would say that that shot of women with their bikini tops moved to the side would not be porn, unless they were paid for it.
I hesitate to speculate what the porn industry would use it for.
Speculate away and get working on the patent, make millions.
Jules Verne read the equivalent of /. back in the day. Almost everything he "predicted" in his books was in theory at that time.
Not that that is a bad thing.

It would seem that people learn computers better than computers learn people.
Much like talking to someone with a poor grasp on ones language you try to make things simple and easy to understand.
That section of their website is currently down.

That was beautiful.
Haven't we been using bacteria to eat oil spills ever since the Valdez incident?
I'm thinking this is a tried and true method of dealing with oil spills at this point.
I think he may be aiming at phones being able to use USB devices, while currently phones tend to act like a USB device.
If they went after Palin for it they would also have to go after the Bush administration for doing the same thing.
Well damn, never have heard of any of those except the EQ one and I thought that died years ago.
I was not nearly as informed as I thought.
Guess I should have put in a qualifier, such as "good" or "popular".
Was the Laser Disk beaten by VHS?
Sometimes failure is just failure.
Are you joking? Computers have no problem playing back video at far higher resolutions than merely 1080P.
Sounds like a problem on your end, not computers in general.
Since I needed time between my postings here is a relevant xkcd comic. http://xkcd.com/732/
When only criminals can watch movies then everyone will know how to hack their way into watching a movie they bought with their hard earned money.
If DRM needs to be bypassed it will be bypassed.
