It's like when someone says they want to go birding with you and they really just want to get you alone in the woods so they can steal your binoculars.

This goes a long way in explaining the incredibly warm and sociable, yet undeniably peculiar Xerox tech that I would interact with on a regular basis. Despite him not actually working for the company, I would have to call him in constantly to get him to fix one or more of the machines we had in the office.

I'm excited to go through this. I plan on completing a degree in a few years but I'm always hungry for information. Thanks for posting.

Sad day. The year of the great dead continues.

I can't wait for that day to come. Facebook just can't do live video competently.
How is this ruling possibly justified? By that same logic, breaking into someone's house is also legal because no security system is burglar proof. Also what I still don't understand is that the presence of any counter hacking measures (AV, proxy, VPN services) implies someone creating measures to protect their privacy. None of this makes sense,
What, and somehow create Skynet that kills my computer because I didn't program a purpose into it? I don't think so.

In certain aspects corporations already do have more power than government. However that's because of money rather than tech chops. It's important now more than ever for companies to have a viable security model.
Is it too much just let the internet have its candy? Just this once, when it's completely innocuous.
Couldn't have said it better.

Easy solution, turn off Cortana. Problem solved.

If you can make the time than learning new things and taking courses is always a good idea. You never know where you're going to end up as a developer. Who knows you may end up changing the course of your career. Also machine learning and AI are all becoming big fields.

It's hard to believe something like this wouldn't fall under the fourth or fifth amendment.
Re:Take me as an Intern – 19yo student seeking internship on Thursday April 30, 2015 @08:55AM (#9464724)
Great job on your website. I would fill out your GitHub a little bit more so people can see your code. I'm jealous a little bit that I didn't get into web development as young as you did. Keep it up and continue to build awesome stuff!
Re:Oliver Sacks on learning he has terminal cancer on Thursday February 19, 2015 @10:55AM (#9074671)
One of the great sages of the world soon to leave us. I love his writing and the different perspectives that his work has offered me. He'll be missed and as bad as this sounds I'm excited to see what writings he comes up with as he takes the final steps of his journey.
