   Their habits show that they would not be interested in a job at the targets of their hacks, and a good portion of them are likely employed in the infosec industry already. These aren't kids.

   It is just starting, and there's a long way to go before its fair to compare any aspect of them to your everyday stock exchange that we know. And again, they have to retain trust to get there. Who's to say these countermeasures and limits w

   But 'everyone' wants to be a hacker these days too. Read the top left corner of this website. We fought for a decade to redefine the word in the eyes of the public, and yet its quickly become defined as most any person interested in startup

   Personally, I find the iPhone home button to be the worst feature of its design. Now that I have a Nexus S, seeing that bit giant hole of a button reminds me of its 5 year old design.

    Police departments in other East Bay cities pay higher wages and are lower-risk. Police departments can be brain-drained too.

    Whats your model for folks who have proven mental health issues? I have little faith that a clinically depressed, or worse, person would fit the same profile. And there's got to be enough folks with mental health problems to destroy your ma

    I agree, but the bigger problem with oakland is that everyone (including Oaklanders) always say "There's something very very wrong with the city of Oakland" yet no one steps up to bat. Including you and me.

    This is exactly the kind of library that WILL endure after this round's budget threats (and there have always been threats). The role of the librarian drastically changes as the population becomes much more information literate, but the ro

    I also use the three-finger swipe on scrollbars, regularly. Not all windows scroll properly. Still, the notion of clicking and dragging to scroll is really odd now.

    I too had my first machine at a super young age in 1994 and learned to program just the same. Our only difference was that I was still on chat/IM all day back then too, a distraction, but not as big of one as doing anything on a 25mhz Mac w

    Its not abuse when the Times offers the service for free to all library patrons, nor when the library (commonly) has paid license to the historical content as well. Edit: Also, off-campus access to electronic resources using a proxy is stan

    MySpace was created for and, early on, largely marketed to bands who wanted a simple page with a place to feature music. It only caught on with the public as a secondary. Now, bands are pretty much the only people who still use the platform
