You're painting with some pretty broad strokes there. I overclocked my Sandy Bridge i7-2600K by about 20% to 4.4ghz on air, without increasing any voltages (ergo, durability will be the same as it was at stock) and it actually runs colder than it did on the stock cooler at the stock clock speed (ergo, it is actually MORE stable). I didn't do it so I could brag to anybody about it, I did it because for the $40 more the cooler cost me I got a 20% faster CPU out of it.

FTFY.

Of course the community was against it, many small communities use their local school as community halls, and associate their school with their Local Smalltown Values Education(tm) that Big Bad City Schools(tm) couldn't possibly provide, that in itself is not a good enough reason to stop the closure.

The job of a public school board is to balance the needs of all it's constituents, and in many cases that means sacrificing smaller schools in order to provide a better level of funding and quality of education in a larger more consolidated facility.

I sincerely doubt that this alleged bribery from a developer a factor, and certainly the only factor in this decision

Well I doubt that assumption; 90 days is a pretty short time frame for reset and most people don't buy things at Best Buy constantly so I don't think they would care about being unable to return something using their ID after they help out.

It's not like they scan your driver's license at time of purchase, so would-be abusers I'm sure could easily to find a friend or family member to return their product (still using the same receipt of course).

That's starting to sound an awful lot like terrorist talk. Please remember do your civic duty and vote for one of our 2 Political Parties at the next scheduled Democratic Election.

I work in K-12 education as a systems analyst and at least in Alberta where I am situated the change is coming. It isn't as easy as flipping a switch though, there are a lot of barriers in the way of this kind of progress; privacy and security concerns, limited funding for information technology in school jurisdictions, limited funding for professional development for staff to take advantage of this kind of technology, the Old Guard, etc.

Believe me when I tell you for the most part we are with you, but it takes money that nobody wants to pony up, and time that nobody seems to have.

Say what you will about the quality of the actual products, but Microsoft's technical documentation is actually pretty amazing compared to other vendors (I'm looking at you Cisco). Microsoft's documentation is generally well organized, comprehensive, and the writing style is simple and concise; basically everything you'd want technical writing to be.

Ah yes, another incompetent *nix admin with his head in the sand. Since this was posted as AC I know you're probably trolling but I'll bite. Since the RDP changes starting with Windows Vista and Server 2008 (pre-R2, even) the RDP connection handshake resembles that of TLS, SSH, and other VPN protocols, utilizing RSA, certificate based identity verification, and AES (with keys transmitted during the RSA encrypted during setup).

If modern RDP is insecure, I have really bad news for SSH, e-commerce and the entire fucking world that uses TLS.

Who uses a VPN without a VPN? If you connect to a VPN without first tunneling it through a secure VPN, you're just asking for issues regardless of any exploit.

The even better counterpoint is that there are billions of easy obtainable and perfectly legal depictions of fictional murder / violence. If fictional pornography can incite people to commit sex acts I'd be more worried about the millions of movies and video games with people getting their heads blown off.

My kingdom for a mod point.

According TFA all the "jammer" does is play back a copy of your speech delayed by 0.2 seconds, akin to being annoyed by loud echo on a VoIP phone or Skype conversation. While echo can sometimes be annoying when it interrupts yourself, it is fairly easy to adjust if you've done it before and talk over yourself. Because the gun features both a directional microphone and directional speaker, if you can comfortably talk over yourself everyone else will hear you just fine, sans echo.

Actually, it's more dangerous than that. An attacker wouldn't necessarily need to hack and gain control access to the bomber, they would only need to disrupt it's sensors / communications channel such that the drone is unable to navigate (or indeed, even basic functioning like maintaining airspeed would be impaired). The stakes are much higher than in Iran when your drone is now armed with nuclear cargo.

Oh thank you merciful representative of corporate copyright holdings, you are truly a benevolent god.
