The person writing the check signs it to show that it is valid and approved.
The person receiving the check must endorse the check. Endorsing it means signing it on the back next to the "endorse here" logo. Not entirely sure what the point of this is but it certainly doesn't make things less secure and I could see how it might make things more secure, so it might as well happen.
You realize that ATTEMPTED murder is actually different from murder, yes? They're both the same thing, but one is executed poorly. Don't see why it should suddenly not matter if we're talking about drugs, or tech.
Yes, everything he says is days instead of months. Other than that he's quite fine really. Just make sure you don't say "mattress" to Mr. lambert, instead, call them "dog kennels".
"Actually it is quite dangerous in the USA to stand by an ATM" FUD.
Yeah, handling large amount of money after dark in the middle of gang country is probably a bad call. But just standing outside using an ATM in broad daylight isn't something I've ever heard of anyone having trouble with. Unless you can provide some evidence to suggest that standing at an atm is a really bad idea I'm calling bullshit.
How then, do I safely pay my friend $325 a month for my share of the rent? Cash is too risky if it gets stolen. Credit cards don't work for obvious reasons. Money orders are paper, etc. Paper checks are perfect for what we need.
If only there existed something like a slip of paper that I could write who I was giving money to and how much on it. I could give this slip of paper to the person and the banks would transfer money from my bank account to the other person's bank account. Hmmmm... too bad nothing like that exists.
The problem is that in any good college the lecture isn't identical to the book. You aren't paying a shitload of money to listen to someone read the textbook to you. Thus, there's a good deal of information that you need to take down. Comprehension can take a good deal of time, time you don't have in the middle of a lecture. Thus, it's important to get the information onto the paper and analyze it that night when you have time to stop and think.
Most of my classes have a book, but it's always just for some reference and to learn the simple things before class. They cover the difficult stuff, but it's orders of magnitude easier to understand the material if you just take notes and read them later than to try learning by reading the book.
"You can photograph documents pretty easily. I'm not sure there's much purpose to scanners anymore" Taking a picture of a page of paper? Are you serious? What the hell are you basing this on? Without a high quality camera and software that will crop out/rotate/skew the image into the proper format (a la expensive book scanners) taking pictures of notes looks completely unprofessional and unreadable.
Dunno why exactly this was modded all the way down to -1, he has a good point.
A child "modifying a program" isn't very spectacular. Any moron with no experience can modify "hello world" to spit out "goodbye world". I'm quite certain that "modifying a solar system simulation" went something along the lines of this:
Problem 1: Part A) Replace the values in the program with the proper values for the orbit of the planets.// This is the time it takes jupiter to revolve around the sun (in earth days) int orbit_of_jupiter = 0;// This is the same as above, but for earth. int orbit_of_earth = 0;
void main() { lots of programming that is NEVER looked at or touched by the student; }
Part B) Record your results in the Excel spreadsheet and email it to the teacher. Then print out a copy and hand it in because the teacher isn't quite smart enough to open attachments in outlook.
I mean, seriously people. When you hear claims of "High school child modifying amazingly complicated programs that take years of know how to write correctly", think about it for a little bit. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. If F# were this amazing new language that allowed anyone with no experience to write any program, we'd have heard about it one hell of a long time ago.
You kick users off the network for using bittorrent and you don't look at the data itself.... I'm not entirely sure how you could possibly be more stupid. And "virus infected music"? Do you even work in IT?
What in the hell kind of ISP do you have and where can I sign up. I'm on comcrap right now and they're more than happy to send out these letters the second anyone from the RIAA or an unlicensed team says that "such and such an IP was downloading illegal stuff".
The university has no obligation to do a god damned thing with their computers. Sure, they might want to keep it free of certain stuff, but there's no obligation to. What the RIAA says the university should be responsible for and what they're actually responsible for are two separate things.
Wait a minute. Sure, granting lots of money to people who aren't insurance companies is something I can definitely get behind, but always voting not guilty for criminal trials? Look, jury nullification is supposed to be used to prevent nonsense prosecution. In fact, voting not guilty regardless of the evidence will keep you in the jury LONGER because you'll have to deliberate longer to try and keep from hanging and causing a mistrial.
Dumbass, it's not "pro-death-penalty" people. It's people that aren't biased for or against the death penalty. "Pro-death-penalty" people aren't allowed on any more than "anti-death-penalty" people are.
The excuse about being fired if you have to show up for jury duty probably doesn't work because it's illegal to fire workers if they missed work for jury duty. Might be a pain in the ass with the backlog, but you can't be fired.
Alright, it makes sense that juries shouldn't consult just any random dictionary. But what's wrong with them consulting the relevant legal dictionary for whatever state/court system/etc. they're in? If they're in Colorado then they should be allowed to consult whatever dictionary is used to define legal terms in Colorado, etc.
Any opposing lawyer would then ask: "Mr. expert person, sir. Isn't it true that INflammable also means flammable because of some nuance in the language?"
Did you bother to fucking read what I posted at all or did you just have a knee jerk reaction to the first sentence of my post? I know it can be hard, what, with you wanting to spew whatever bullshit nonsense you have about "M$ turfers".
Read the last sentence "Not saying that jury nullification is a bad thing...". Not entirely sure how you managed to twist that into "trying to get US citizens to throw away our rights".
First, both sides can produce evidence. Second, being uninformed is there to assure an unbiased jury. Third, you do not have the right to nullify a trial, it is illegal to do so. The only reason it works is because it's more illegal to prosecute a jury for the verdict they produce. Not saying that jury nullification is a bad thing, but don't go around thinking that it's completely legal and encouraged.
They passed out within seconds of the crash though. They really only had enough time to turn on the PEAPs, which wouldn't actually help them because they don't provide a pressurized air flow.
It also needs to be obvious if the person viewing the screen is any of the following: 1) Pleasuring themselves 2) Oogling the pictures 3) Asleap 4) Taking pictures of the screen 5) Making inappropriate jokes about anatomy.
Any of the above should be grounds for immediate termination. 1, 2, 4, and 5 should be grounds for immediate jail time and a permanent entry in the sex offender registry.
Why is this such a good solution? Have people forgotten how to parse logs? Shouldn't be that difficult to differentiate a connect/disconnect from a connect, send real data, disconnect.

Because that's a huge pain in the ass and requires a lot of work. Also a lot of professors don't like being recorded.

Go try making a sexual related joke at your office and see what happens. It's sexual harassment which is, in fact, a criminal offense.
