The incident on school property was punished because A) There was clearly an intent to make the explosion
How do you figure that there was clear intent to make an explosion? One article I read claimed she thought it would only smoke (which it did) As far as I can tell, the only explosion was caused by a build up of pressure.
Is this a cover your ass move? Seems more like the prosecutor pushing for things than the principal. But it is a sad state of affairs when the school is more interested in covering its ass than protecting its students.
You don't need a whole lot more (motive? intent?) In one case, no one was injured, nothing was damaged. In the other case a person was killed.
Now lacking any more information, which one do you think should be prosecuted?
Of course you want motive and intent, how about the prosecutor do some due diligence, instead of charging a child for doing NO damage with less than 24 hours of research.
Of course expell student and possibly charge with crime, after all the things that have been going on recently at schools the school would be neglectful if they didn't expell student and call the police.
I personally believe the school is being neglectful BY expelling the student, and refusing her a right to an education.
Lets examine what this student did. She mixed some cleaning ingredients with a plastic bottle of water.... Lets look at that again, she had a bottle of water. she had some cleaning materials. She mixed them. And she was expelled and will be charged as an adult (charged for what? dropping a mentos into a bottle of diet coke?)
So what was the result? The bottles top popped off, and caused some smoke. No one was hurt, and no property was damaged. She was expelled because the TOP of the bottle popped off. And YOU think this is ok?
Oh, she should be expelled because she was working on an experiment that her teacher didn't know about? Are you saying students shouldn't show initiative, students shouldn't think for themselves? Shouldn't do extra work? Students should only learn what they are taught? Perhaps they should be seen and not heard too?
This whole thing is asinine. Everyone responsible for charging this student, and expelling her, should be charged with child endangerment. They should be prosecuted for destroying this students life.
Of course it does, and TFA even says so. Of course going to "software security training" isn't exactly a "best practice" either. Just because someone goes to a training session doesn't mean they'll learn anything.
Following best practices in code will most definitely make your code more secure. But more secure is very relative. You can still have plenty of vulnerabilities, just fewer than before.
Best practices or no, we all make mistakes, and plenty of them. It only takes one mistake to leave a hole. Whether it is a simple bug, or a design flaw. And the bad guys only need to find one flaw. So yes Best Practices help. But it doesn't mean your code is going to be Fort Knox.
It's just a title, and none of it is really clear until one has more information than what was given in the crappy summary.
What more do you need than "game development simulator?" Sure they didn't go into a 100 page dissertation on what the game was and was about, but "game development simulator" should give you enough of an idea of what genre the game is. Just like "FPS" tells you something, or "action movie" gives you an inkling.
And there's nothing that makes it objectively bad, either.
Yes, yes there is. Many people generate content to make money. They like to eat and wear warm clothes in the winter. Making good content generally pays for things like that. If people don't pay for content, then some people will stop making content. Good content is good for vacillation. By sneaking into the theatre, or copying content without permission, harms civilization as a whole. It is bad.
The last sentence in the summary reads like nonsense to me and does not seem to contribute anything
Isn't that what this was all about? The government has reasonable suspicion there is illicit data on the HD, but the judge said they couldn't compel him to give up the passkey. Unless they KNEW he had the passkey.
Yeah I was stumped from the summary too. Pandora isn't anything like Aereo. I'm listening to Pandora right now. I can't play what I want. I can skip some songs, but thats it. If I recorded the song, uploaded it to Pandora, and asked Pandora to play it to me later.. that might be different.
How do you come to the conclusion that the television show that is broadcast to the public, is actually a private performance? The fact that you are in a different room than other people watching it, doesn't make it private. The fact you are watching it in private doesn't make it private.
. But a great deal of porn is about transgressive acts, and nasty attitudes. Rape fantasies are common....
It has nothing to do with porn being about "bad" sex (whatever that means) it is because Lust is one of the 7 sins. One of the ten commandments is to not covet your neighbor's wife.And the new testament talks about not falling to temptation.
So you aren't supposed to lust, or be tempted, or covet the lovely naked actors in porn. THAT is what its about.
Or at least that is what the men in control want you to think.
The "why" is that copyright is supposed to be limited. Pretty much everything released since early 1920s is still under copyright. When a copyrighted item from your lifetime won't enter public domain until after you are dead, then the copyright is essentially unlimited.
I'm pretty sure that Mickey Mouse is a trademark, not a copyright. This might mean that anyone could release Fantasia, but only Disney could create a new work.
I'm pretty sure you are wrong. While Mickey Mouse is a trademark, it is also copyrighted. And some even blame Disney for the copyright mess. Mortimer Mouse, released in 29, is still under copyright. And will be for a few more years.
Of course it shouldn't be, but it was extended once or twice.
The title PROMISED "TWO changes". The front page summary also mentioned two changes... But then I hit a WALL of text (not just any old wall either, a ginormous wall) I read a couple more paragraphs, no mention of the changes. I skimmed the entire article (or was that the summary to the article?) and I saw no mention of what these two changes were. Perhaps they are in there and they are hidden.
Isn't that the point of the summary? Mention the two changes, and if I want more I can go RTFA?
Still don't know what Quirky is or how the world will change because of it.
For example, look at the airline security theater, don't you think that its in American Airlines, United and Delta's best interest to provide enough security to remove the threat of hijackings but not need a full cavity search?
Except that the TSA's job isn't to remove the threat of hijackings, it is to stop the "terror suspects"
Of course it also isn't TSA's job to make sure you have a proper ticket. Of course life would be better, and cheaper if there was no TSA. And personally I'd feel safer
The problem is, apparently the taxes on my plane tickets are paying for the Armed Forces and who knows what else. In reality the price of my air fare should cover the idiotic cost of the TSA as well as the Air Traffic Controllers. Money for those programs should come from anywhere else. The taxes should also be high enough to pay for the TSA and the Air Traffic Controllers in full, plus pay for some SMALL portion of the US government (because the airports don't exist in a vacuum)
Instead that money goes into a big huge barrel, and some of it is doled back to the airports.
Yeah, they say that like everyone knows what a "1 GW power plant" is... Is that a typical plant? Is it a small one? Is that the one you might see that powers a university, or one that powers a big city? Or is that about the size of the Manitoba Hydro Limestone hydroelectric generating station?
Ohh look Mr. Wiki claims that 55 GW is about the peak daily consumption of Great Britain in 2008. Wouldn't that have been more meaningful to say?
a) Facebook photo's are (or should be) private especially to the government
Unless they are public.
That's like you posting a bunch of your photos on the cork board down at the public library, then saying the government can't look at them.
I know this comment is gonna be modded down to the basement, I do not care
Comments shouldn't be voted down because people disagree with them. This happens to be your opinion, misguided as it is.
Islam happens to be a fairly LARGE religion. Most of problems you see come from a select few people.
Kind of like how the Westbro Baptists claim to be Christian. Should he ban ALL of Christianity because of a small group?
Not to mention a lot of violence happens for other reasons.
.. is so cheap to sue somebody and so expensive to defend
Well in general the cost to sue someone is relatively the same cost to defend. But when one side is richer, they can outlast the poor side. No matter who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant.
What else is money laundering but trying to keep your money out of the government's control?
Isn't that the opposite of what money laundry is? That is the point of money laundering is to get your money under the governments control. To make your ill gotten look legal

That doesn't mean one can't make a mistake. Measure wrong, read a description wrong (not understanding how powerful it might be)
I heard this story before it appeared on slashdot, and every article I saw referred to it has a science experiment.
Of course expell student and possibly charge with crime, after all the things that have been going on recently at schools the school would be neglectful if they didn't expell student and call the police.

Theoretically, hiring a PhD would give you some guarantee about what the programmer is capable of doing.
They are capable of getting a PhD... That is about the only guarantee you have.
