Comment As little as possible... (Score 1) 278

"Keyless" fob for car, on which is attached a 32gig PNY "key", a house key, and my mail key.

Every day I check myself for four things to leave the house or leave the office. Keys, wallet, phone, badge.

The wallet is a magnetic bill fold with cash (something I still prefer), a driver's license, a credit card, a debit card, and, since I'm a degenerate gambler, a "prestige" card for a major casino chain.

I could leave the mail key *somewhere* and the casino card in the car -- since they'll gladly get me replacements.

I'm with you.

He had already been busted and slapped on the wrist:

Green had previously received a three-day suspension for accessing the system inappropriately. Other students also got in trouble at the time, he said. It was a well-known trick, Green said, because the password was easy to remember: a teacher's last name. He said he discovered it by watching the teacher type it in.

The only problem here is that he's being charged with a felony, because hacking laws on the books don't make a distinction between "petty" hacking and "grand" hacking. There's no shoplifting equivalent on the hacking books; it's all grand theft auto.

The teacher needs reprimanded by his IT department and his leadership (principal, union, whatever).
The kid needs his wrist slapped, and and county attorney needs to decide not to file charges, charge him with some sort of misdemeanor mischief charge instead.

Perhaps the police should stop behaving in was that make non-criminals scared of them.

Perhaps.

...but lets not pretend that the reason you identify police on Waze exists for any other reason but to let other speeding drivers know to slow down until they pass the cop and speed back up to well above the speed limit. The feature isn't in Waze so that patriots can champion our civil rights; it's there so speeders can speed.

I'm OK with this, but...lets be honest in our discussions.

I was 8 when I stood in line with my family outside of the Cine Capri to watch Star Wars. I probably watched it 50 more times in the theaters over the next few years, mostly summer matinees. Eventually I got to watch it on ONTV - my family's first PPV of any sort - and then on 3rd generation Beta tapes after that. I still have the bedsheets somewhere :)
