Considering that most kids don't think past the end of the day (maybe the week if they know they're doing something fun on the weekend), getting paid for grades seems like an actual reward instead of "in twenty years, you'll be glad you got good grades now".
Ok, ya got me thinking. I'll share aloud.
If a black hole is moving (but not spinning rapidly), that momentum is going to be working with its gravitational pull on the side facing the direction the black hole is moving, and against it on the opposite side. So the EH should be "weaker" in that one place. I realize the EH is the distance at which things cannot escape by definition, so I suppose wording it as "the EH is not spherical" is better.
Suppose that the black hole is moving fast enough, wouldn't it be possible for this momentum to counteract the force of gravity enough for objects to escape? In short, create a weak point or break in a highly elliptical EH, directly behind the black hole as it moves through space. Somebody explain why this won't work, or why it would.
I think you stand a better chance of getting an answer if you don't post Anon. Some people only read 2+ (me, I read -1).
How did they do it with the other "too big to fail" industries? Legislate them into failure, then take them over. The government doesn't really _have_ to do step #1. Revoke their incorporation, and suddenly MS doesn't exist.
While I appreciate your candor, name calling is certainly not necessary to get your point across.
As I explicitly mentioned in my response, "it's mandated by the Board of Trustees." The Ohio State Board of Trustees took it upon themselves to mandate a NAC solution to the "security problem". I apologize if I somehow alluded to it being my idea. We were told that we could either implement it or lose our jobs. You may have quit; I chose to do my job since honestly, it's really not that big of a deal. Everyone can do their work and everyone can use whatever OS they want, as the OP indicated.
You seem to be indicating that this plan is for University owned Staff/Faculty/lab machines only. If this is the case, it's no different than standard business policy, and it's just good sense (why would it need to be mandated from on high?).
GP thinks the plan you're implementing at your superior's request is for student-owned computers that they're using on campus. If that's true, then you'd be a wimp for not quitting when the Trustees planned a "let's roger the students" policy. You furthermore would be a fool for thinking "it's really not that big of a deal." Of course, I'm guessing the first paragraph is more correct; otherwise, the Trustees would probably have you running the scans on all Staff and Faculty home machines since they connect in to campus occasionally.
Sounds familiar. Nokia threatened to leave Finland unless they get the right to spy on their employees. The law (named "Lex Nokia" by the media) was passed on March 11th and became effective beginning this month.
First off, it just isn't a very good idea to start going tit-for-tat with the US government.
No duh. If it happened (or started to happen), I'd see three possibilities:
U.S. Federal Government switches to Apple (Still US company)
U.S. Fed Govt switches to an NSA version of Linux
And most likely: U.S. Fed Govt declares "National Security" and "Eminent Domain" (or the business equivalent), and prevent MS from moving because MS Windows is used in top levels of Government, warships, nuclear power plants...
The difference between the old Parisian commoner and the modern Earthican is that in the Parisian's world, some people have been to Tokyo, and they know it takes several years of sailing to get there and back. I think a better example for the modern person might be the Moon and Mars (or Orbit and the Moon). Both are places a modern Earthman (or at least Earth machine) has been, but an individual Earthman would be very, very, unlikely to ever go to. If there were an hour-trip to Mars, we'd consider that amazing. If there were a way to travel FTL, we'd consider that unbelievable magic, just like the old Parisian would think of a trip to the Moon or Mars.
It sounds to me like years of opensource Stockholm Syndrome has made freetards deathly frightened of platform integration and compatibility.
Nice trolling paytard. Hopefully you'll get a few +1 Funny moderations.
From the team perspective, they probably viewed it as a positive gesture--while they were updating the clickonce support on IE, they figured they would provide it on Firefox as well to give users a wider range of choice as to what their browser is.
And the MS Office team sure took Sun's ODF plugin positively. If every version of Java started stealth installing the Sun ODF plugin into installed versions of Office to fix the broken compatibility (and made it non-removable) don't you think Sysadmins on both sides of the aisle would be crying foul?
For wingbats on slashdot, it's A GROSS INVASION OF THEIR OMG PRIVACY THAT THEY DEMAND FOR THEIR PIRATED COPY OF WINDOWS XP.
Most of the comments expressing anger were from Windows Sysadmins managing legit Windows machines. The Linux guys laughed. The Mac guys didn't read the article because it wasn't hosted at apple.slashdot.org
Quite a few sysadmins were surprised by this because checking FF plugins isn't part of the usual procedure on a test machine that you installed a new.NET framework patch to. Sure, fire up the cirtical.NET using apps, make sure everything's working. Groovy on all X test machines? Shoot the patch out to group 1. Day 2, group 2. Day 3, group 3... a week later user notices a new add-on. WTF, it's on all the machines!
Pretty bad summary. It was like a past-tense German sentence (apologies to native German speakers), where I didn't know the verb until the end of the sentence. Until PSP and Nintendo were mentioned, I didn't know they were talking about a computer gaming conference. The second to last sentence made my mind race (Controller-less interface for Windows/Office? Neat!). Then I came down to earth; oh, just console gaming.
No, GGP engaged in theft. If the credit card machine is down, you walk into the station and pay in cash. Unless the big sign with the price said "Regular Unleaded: FREE, Premium Unleaded: FREE", GGP knew how much was expected to be paid, but chose to "pump-and-run" instead.

I rarely hear "Vintage" applied to something of good quality. It's mostly synonymous with "antique" these days.
"Hospital Turns Away Ambulances When Computers Go Down" makes complete sense to me. Maybe they edited it in the last 4 hours but didn't post an "edited by" comment in the summary.

You should probably have left eligibility as a boolean; casting to int might imply something illegal.
