Except even in America today, where people with air conditioning, Xboxes, and cell phones are considered poor, we still have actual poor people who don't have homes. It's usually because they're mentally ill or don't want to take advantage of private and public assistance, but they are around, and they're what anyone except early hunter-gatherers would consider poor (today's actual-poor are essentially hunter-gatherers with comparatively nice clothing, environments, and equipment).
It's theorized that it was borrowed from forest fires and lightning strikes and stuff then after that, humans developed ways to light a fire manually.
So rubbing sticks together was even more worthless. They already had fire, and they were wasting time trying to figure out how to make it from scratch. *shakes head*
I don't know, I crashed more lunar landers than I killed pioneer families, but there's no log of how many astronauts were in the landers. Of course, I sold a lot of lemonade in the 'burbs too, and no one died there.
I teach at a university. I make the same for an online class as I make for one that is classroom based.
But once the lecture is recorded, the administration can hire anyone (even grad students) to teach (TA) the course. You're extraneous until they need an updated recording. Of course researchers would love that...
Yeah, DRM is hard, and Blizzard should be able to compensate its programmers for selling you DRM instead of giving their time away for free. Heck, they even package in a game as a bonus! This is partly sarcasm, because I do believe a portion of the higher prices we now pay are due to the waste of time (ours and theirs) that is DRM.
Look, my shoes are made by real slaves in Malaysia, and my maille was linked by some poor family in India. I've got bigger fish to fry in my consumerism than some students getting college credit for making my iPhone.
Incorrect. The captain occasionally talks with star fleet command with near latency, but it's due to sunspace transmissions being FTL, not quantum teleportation. Once they get far enough out, the latency becomes big enough to be noticeable; see the Voyager series, or the episode of TNG with the Traveler.
The scorpion is also a scorpion through no fault of it's own, but it's still dangerous. If someone threatens to kill people because blue armed men from Russia licked the doorknobs, and we're all in on the coverup, then I'll classify them as a danger first and a victim second. Then I'll call the blue armed men and tell them their cover is blown.
So I did the usual recommmendations, change passwords, scan PC
Wrong order, and not specific enough regarding the scanning. Don't change passwords on a suspect machine; keyloggers make changing passwords pointless. Don't Malware/AV scan from a suspect machine (or from anything but a known-good machine), because rootkits make local AV scanners pointless while the infected OS is running. It's often best to backup then nuke the OS. Never reinstall from a HDD based "restore". It could be infected too. If scanning is warranted (too much work to rebuild the system), take the HDD out and scan it as a secondary drive from the known-good machine. This can sometimes break the system in question as infected system files are quarantined. Never repair from a HDD based repair function. Use the OS installation DVD.
I can't figure out for the life of me how this clown keeps getting remote access through both a cisco router and a clean install of Win 7 in less than 20 minutes flat
Let me guess, your client is installing Win7 pre-SP1, and is connecting to the internet immediately without first applying patches, blocking SMB (open to local subnet [open to attack from router] by default) and Remote Assistance? He needs to go to a friends' house, download win7 SP1 and any "critical" patches from technet.microsoft.com (especially the reletively new one that fixed the security hole with Windows Update), install the OS on his computer, apply SP1 and then patches via a burned DVD, then connect to the internet to apply remaining patches via Windows Update.
The bad part about cleaning up something like this is that your client will repeat the mistake later, so I always suggest people buy a spare HDD that they clone the freshly built machine to so that they can skip some steps next time. Few bother.
Worst case scenario, there could be persistent code embedded in the BIOS that reinfects any newly installed OS (like what computrace does). Then you need to reflash the BIOS, preferably via a Linux live CD.
You cannot stop spam without also stopping free speech, since both use the same methods to get their payload delivered. There is no way for a computer to reliably distinguish the two, and the only people who can are also biased and have a vested interest in their own agenda.
Bullshit. When spam is served up by compromising users PC's and running a botnet, which is how most spam is sent, it has nothing to do with free speech. Want to sent 1000 emails a day manually from your own PC? That's free speech.
And if you want to send 1,000,000 emails a day via script from your own PCs/hosted servers/etc, that's free speech too. And you might actually have 1,000,000 willing recipients of those emails. But network monitoring tools will still flag your machine.
You misunderstand. Say Kristoff Troyka owns the copyright to a popular book, and powerful corporations are sitting on a trove of derivative work. If his death frees them to publish...
Wonderful ethical question, but if the human race is known for anything, its the non-subscription to the magazine which ponders over such things.
Someone will attempt to bring them back, now argue about how it should be done.
Almost important: What should be done? Should we make them extinct again?

Laser carve their photo and call it a day.
They can use it while they're parked waiting for a fare, but not while driving. Makes sense for safety.

It's common knowledge that under the bed is where Stallman keeps his katana and Linus keeps his nunchucks.
The same bed? :O
Perhaps the use of ie10 is my active choice, knowing that it has this privacy set by default. It's not, but consider the possibility.
They need a dour look for the facial recognition learning algorithms.

But if you didn't measure the original state, how are you sure you correctly recreated it, let alone perfectly recreated? "Have faith, it's science"

Continue in this vein and I might eventually buy a game.

I believe that card is actually pulled from another three letter word.
Often times, the professor is one of the authors.

Hey, it takes a lot of effort to show up. That's why "Participant" ribbons exist.
