The x86 platform being a perfect example of that.

...because there's nothing like adding distortion to content collected on a flat film plane.

You forgot the important part:

"Film at eleven!"

With sufficient motivation, I can write unreadable code in any language no matter how it's indented.

And I'm well aware of the other options, thanks.

Uh, 'scuse me there, Sparky... I didn't set the title for this thread. Please see the complaint department operated by Mr. Anonymous Cowherd above.

You're not even shilling, because they don't charge you for backups not stored on their network.

(Also a Crashplan customer at home and work. They're awesome.)

And when your house goes up in a fire, all of your external drives go with it.

Try half speed. It's hilarious.

Not everything's entertainment. I watch the news at 125% of normal speed so I get through it faster and can get on to something else. Doesn't change the content one bit.

...And before that the Taliban and before that practically everyone else in that region who needed a pickup truck.

That's like wondering how the Dodge Caravan became part of the Soccer Mom brand.

The standard you're looking for is PC104 and its successors.

Getting an existing medication to market is still very expensive even if the IP costs you nothing.

I've done product development on the BSDs. Believe me, the grass is equally brown on both sides of that fence.

You don't know that for sure. It's entirely possible that the password was generated, sent to you in the clear, stored hashed and the clear version discarded. They can only do that once. If they can do it more than once, it's not being hashed before storage.

The problem with passwords is that at some point, it has to flow in a form it can be read by a human. We're not to the point where everyone on the planet can do everything with key pairs that prevent it.

Compensation is being able to point at some of the pictures and say "I took those" and put "yearbook photographer" on your college applications. If you're in a school system where yearbook is a for-credit class, taking the pictures is classwork for a grade.

Other than a desire not to be a dick, there would be nothing to stop a student photographer from demanding compensation for his work before allowing it to be published. Of course, there's also nothing preventing the photo editor (a job I did for two years) from telling anyone who pulled a stunt like that to turn their school-owned equipment to someone who understood why we were all there and what we were trying to produce and go alphabetize student portraits instead.

Why must there be some sort of agreement? Back when common sense prevailed, it was implicit that taking a picture for the yearbook and providing it to the editors meant it might be published and you were okay with that. These days, I'd have to imagine that our overlawyered world would require a bodily fluid transfer agreement before it would be okay to take a leak in a school bathroom.
