Okay, I just read a bit more and it looks like apparently they aren't even *allowed* to take the laptops home, they're just lent out for a couple of lessons. So the laptop WAS stolen, and the camera correctly identified the thief.
To be honest, this story sounds like they did almost exactly that.
Obviously an investigation is needed, but doesnt this situation seem most likely:
Student reports his school laptop stolen so he can keep it for himself
School activates anti-theft software (which includes webcam)
School recieves image of said student, proving he lied to steal the laptop
School sends letter to student's parents telling them what their child has done.
Now I don't know if that's true, but frankly it sounds more believable than some evil school big brother conspiracy. I guess the the FBI investigation will find out in the end though.
And the parents whose children will be going to school there in a couple of years time? Should they have to pay out of their own pockets to get their children a decent education because some individual or group of individuals committed a stupid crime?
...do you think that the meteorite was made by magicians?
Space is natural too.
So you're complaining about GW's focus on non-tabletop areas when you... haven't spent any money on their tabletop division in probably about a decade?
This is not exactly surprising.
What do you call someone from the UK? I wanted to say British but that excludes Northern Ireland.
Only if you're a republican; plenty of northern irish identify themselves as "british".
Polygraphs perform better than random chance, certainly.
Interrorgations do not use random chance when there isn't a polygraph available; they use trained professionals.
The Gameboy was only released twenty years ago. If we arbitrarily set "old" gamers to be fifty, then that would only be people who used gameboys when they were thirty or over.
The vast majority of gameboys were played by children, who are now in their twenties or thirties, and still have perfectly fine eyesight.
The problem is that pulse propulsion needs a pusher plate or similar design to function in the vacuum of space, and it is almost impossible to put that much mass into space WITHOUT using nukes.
Nuclear pulse propulsion is illegal due to international treaties banning the atmospheric detonation of nuclear explosives.
Interesting question: I'm not american so I'm not sure exactly how it works, but would equipment like this fall under the right to bear arms, or would it get buried by some blanket "terrorist materials" law?
It's certainly a weapon after all, but is it more gun or bomb?
Sanderson's said it's going to be three volumes, because Tor didn't want to print it in one large volume, and there was already an agreement to publish by the end of this year, and he hadn't finished it all anyway.
That's really not the case here, he isn't Brian Herbert.
Sanderson's working entirely from very comprehensive notes, and entire portions of the book had already been written by Robert Jordan and just need to be glued together.
Congratulations on proving the GPs point.
