Most of it is from AZ Department of Public Safety. They hate Joe as much as the next guy.

hm, while we're waving peckers, I've still got an Apple IIe & IIgs, a C128, a semi functional Imsai 8080
and a Kaypro of some indeterminate type (can't remember which model {huge, heavy blue thing}) (the kaypro is in storage. )
On that note, I use VPC for anything that requires an older version of windows and DOSbox for any other app that requires an older intel based proc.
Actually, you can use packet-radio to send network data via HAM. It's slow, it's buggy, but when it's all you've got, it's there.
Apparently MS either researched his conduct and decided that it was far enough beyond the norm to not be cheating or is just ignoring the media hoping that this will go away. Not entirely sure which.

In some cases, autism manifests as a savant-level ability to do one thing. Think "Rain-Man" but on subjects other than numbers (and in this case without much of the other diminished mental ability). In this case, it appears that the kid is really good at figuring out games and how to beat them.

This is nothing but a fishing trip by the industry.
I'm thinking Googles response should be 'piss off'.
Tax gains depending on the time stock was held. Held less than 1 day: 99% tax rate. Held more than 1 year: income tax rate. Interpolate. Extremely short term "predictions" on the stock market have no value to society and should not be rewarded.
As it is now in the U.S., anything held less than 1 year is considered income, whereas over 1 year is capital gains. Pretty big difference in percentage.
If you RTFA, you'll see that they did indeed sign a consent form that was "purposely simple" (doctor's words) due to that fact that english is not the Havasupai's primary language. To "study the causes of behavioral/medical disorders." sounds like a boilerplate consent that took advantage of that fact.
What it looks like is that ASU realized they were about to have their a**es handed to them and they backed off and said "ok, we f-ed up, what can we do to make it right?"
Had a judge found in the Havasupai's favor it would have had far reaching effects throughout the US, not just in the educational system but also in the health and human services system.
His employer got notices from the company.
Doesn't necessarily mean he's going to lose his job. Especially with a government job, where the protections tend to be a little stronger than in the private sector.
Unless he's required to maintain a security clearance for his job, in which case things could have gotten squirrely.
Hey, be glad, Phoenix's train doesn't go to the airport. Although it's probably just going to turn into a more-comfortable homeless hotel than the bus system.
