Nope, not at all. Uranium-238 has a half-life of ~4 billion years, so it radiates energy kinda slowly. Other radioactive elements that have (completely made up values for simplicity) 1/10 the energy and half-lives of 4 thousand years radiate much more energy per unit time, making them much more dangerous to stuff living nearby.
I'm curious. Are you legally prevented from hacking the modem at all, or just legally prevented from hacking the modem to do illegal things with it? Which law prohibits this?
You're legally prevented from hacking the modem in such a way that it interferes with other radio devices (or violating any other FCC regulations about radio transmitters), which I guess is what you mean by "do illegal things with it".
Any kind of webserver. Try running two of them on the same IP address.
Seriously? I guess you have never heard of virtual hosting.
I don't think virtual hosting works all that well across multiple servers, especially when the router doesn't know which server to send the packets to.
Seems to me that the confusion here is about what exactly is the controller part in a web-based application. Specifically, that the controller is entirely on the server. When you add Javascript code to do things like validation, you're really adding to the controller, even though the code is on the client. The different parts of MVC don't always map one-to-one with computers. Even though they might match up in many systems, MVC and client-server are somewhat orthogonal.
The only answer that I can come up with is that the people who come up with curricula are failed software engineers, and are trying to bring everyone else down with them.
The answer I came up with when I was in school was that the professors were all mathematicians that wanted to keep computer science "pure" by trying to make it as close to mathematics and as far away from engineering as possible.
In my case, it was because the virtual architecture of the system we had to write the fake OS for made things ridiculously difficult. The processor only had one register, and everything was character-based instead of binary. At that point in the curriculum, we had all had two semesters of assembly programming (one Intel, one Motorola), so it wasn't as if we didn't know how to deal with binary numbers or multiple registers.
Software engineers should understand use case analys, user interface design, project management and finance
Software engineers only need to know a lot about user interface design if they're writing software that has a user interface (and even then, possibly only if they're working on the user interface portion). Having the knowledge is certainly an advantage, but you normally want a UI specialist, which not every software engineer is.
Project management is somewhat borderline. It's a good skill to have, but most software engineers, especially younger ones, are not project managers (unless you work in a company with more managers than engineers, which is a whole different issue). Finance is even less useful if you aren't a high-level manager. If you're spending time as a project manager and accountant, you probably don't have a lot of time left in your day to do any engineering.
I would say that what you really want from a software engineer is someone who's good at things like system architecture and program design. You need to be familiar with the kinds of tools available when building a software system, how to use a decent number of those tools, and how to connect the pieces together to accomplish the task at hand.

You would of fixed it if you could of! But, I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. Most people here don't know how its supposed to be written anyways, and the ones who do could care less.
For those of you who must take the "seven days" literal view of Genesis, then consider this: since God's view of time is not the same as ours (Psalm 90:), we may indeed still be in His Sixth Day (day of Man), awaiting His Seventh Day (day of Rest) (Revelations 20:).
There's also the fact that the sun wasn't created until the fourth day, which should be a fairly clear indication that the word "day" wasn't meant to be one solar day. Modern Jewish interpretations of the text (which is what I'm most familiar with) never take "day" to mean a literal solar day.
Religion does not seek, it claims to know the answer. This is pure arrogance, as it offers little proof other than some text that it claims is written by god.
You've been listening to too many fundamentalist nutjobs and not enough religious scholars.
All I'm saying is that in a situation where an infringer should be the one to do extra work to make sure they are not infringing, that it makes sense for the rights owner to bill the infringer for a comprehensive list of infringements.
The court will bill the infringer. It'll just be called an award for damages instead of an invoice. The site isn't the infringer, though; the person who posted the content is (in general, not arguing whether there's any infringement in this particular case).

I was making between $18 to $20 per hour about 8 years ago. To be honest, though, the job experience that I got meant NOTHING when it came time for me to get a full-time job No employer took my internships seriously (I had 4 of them)
I made about $17/hour around that same time. Of course, the main reason it didn't help me get a job after I graduated is that the tech industry kinda tanked. During the weekly department meetings through the second half of my internship, we got to hear about how much money the company lost the previous week and how many layoffs there would be.
Forgetting the naming pedantry, wouldn't the relevant fact be that there's a fairly large amount of ocean water serving as a natural border between Australia and New Zealand?

However, I don't think we should look at nuclear as a long term solution
Nuclear fission or nuclear fusion? Of course, based on the summary and a quick glance, the article also takes "nuclear" to mean "fission".
Why the colleges that teach these teachers are choosing to NOT require classes in technology is beyond me.
And how many teachers over the age of 40 would have been taught anything about Linux when they were in college?

The manger isn't responsible because he can't know all the laws for all the place the script might go in real space
A real lawyer can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think that's true at all. "Ignorance of the law is no defense" and such.
I haven't found Visio to be highly useful, personally. Umm. So what. Other people do. If it is not on there then it is a problem.
It's only a problem for people that need it, and I would guess that the majority of computer users at the majority of companies do not need it.

Why is fake assembly and fake OS cruel?
In my case, it was because the virtual architecture of the system we had to write the fake OS for made things ridiculously difficult.
