Yeah, but he didn't bring "the gun" to a teacher. He brought it to a fellow student.

Based on the context it was more then just accessing publicly available data. It's not as if he clicked on an link and went "Oh, look, a bunch oh e-mail addresses!". There was effort involved into getting to that list.

That being said, even if he did run into a bunch of e-mail addresses by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.. e-mailing that list to someone and going "OMG LOOK AT THIS" was proof that he knew the seriousness of the list he found. It cannot be argued that he did not know what he was doing.

Actually, they are both at fault here.
I don't see a huge effort by Andrew to contact AT&T and say "uh, guys, you have a huge problem here".
It's very easy to percieve his actions in a malicious way.
Not that AT&T didn't goof, but this was the wrong way to address it.

"this institution took four centuries to recognize that Galileo was right." Or more importantly, that the holocaust actually happened...

People who profit from other peoples' unethical behavior are accused of unethical behavior themselves? SHOCKER. AV companies are scum.

Wait, What? You could come up with any number of conclusions from that data.

Honestly, I interpret it as: overly social teens are more likely to have sex.

This is sensationalist reporting at it's finest. Totally bullshit.

>MS said they dropped doing the heavy processing on Kinect itself...

There is still that arm processor. It's being used for something. It could be used for something different.

> so I just checked - it's 512 megabits

Thats still too much for buffer. 512 megabits is 64 megabytes. Still more likely that it's for processing

We are arguing about symantics. my point is: This is more then just a couple webcams and a couple of mics. We could debate about the symantics till the cows come home, but at the end of the day there are no hardware solutions that quite reproduce what the kinect does. It's worth hacking.

Argh, Forgot my breaks.

>But the bulk of the interesting stuff happens on the X360
What? That may be true, but you don't know that. Nobody knows that except microsoft. I kinda doubt it anyways. Microsoft has been going on and on about how it will only effect the Xbox 360s cpu in single diget numbers.
> mostly for large buffer, perhaps
What. 512 megs of memory is MORE then a buffer. That would be incredibly huge and totally useless. There is another purpose for that RAM.
> So, at best, there needs to be another machine loading the code anyway Possibly.
But there is that flash memory on the board as well.... Probably used for code. I have no way of confirming this of course.

Not true at all. Look at the hardware spesification sheets... An arm processor and 512 megs of ram? Thats more then just a webcam and a couple of mics. There is some serious potential for having a hardware device that does some onboard processing.

Hum, I hate to say this, but thems the rules. if someone could get sick off of eating these undies (here come the raunchy jokes) then it's a valid concern.

Theres a guy in every group thats into cougars. He may not admit it, but he's there.

Mod Parent up. 1) Joe Blow sees a cheap computer 2) Buys said computer. 3) Realises that he can't install msn messenger and SuperDupertexasholdem.exe on it. 4) Thinks that it's stupid and returns it. If people educated themselves on these magic boxes, there would be no need for tech people.

See, You misunderstand. Microsoft and Sony have teamed up to create a new portable gaming device called XPSP2. This is just part of their viral advertising campaign designed to shock and confuse people! You fell right into it!

I was thinking more along the lines of a depreciated already existing one.
