Not how E-rate works. Schools get a reimbursement or discount on services based on Free and Reduced lunch percentage from the previous year. It looks like Orange County's rate is 61% so they probably had to pay about $40k So if the FCC was screwed then so was the school district.

It doesn't say anything about any of this money going to the schools. It says ATT will have to repay the reimbursement from the FCC plus 106k fine. It doesn't even say if the money will go into E-Rate. I'd hope that at least what ever the school districts out of pocket expense is refunded.

How many times have they tried to collect $120 on 18,000 images? Have to make it hurt to get Getty images to change practices.

I was wondering the same thing then I remembered I was on Slashdot.

With Wifi, it would be more like sitting in front of the gas station, unlocked and the car running. People share there WiFI passwords with guest all the time. Plus, wifi passwords aren't hard to crack.

I've seen lots of studies saying exactly that. I've also seen some that say the have no effect. Most of the studies that say they are helping say they increase student engagement which normally helps with attendance and test scores. As far as IT staff. Chromebooks are easy, they are all managed centrally from a website. iPads aren't bad and can be manged through special software centrally. The biggest problem is its a lot more devices with the same number of people or less.

It also looks like it would outlaw Tor. It mentions communication identifying information which basically equates to a user IP address.

Both. You know they didn't give any money to any companies unless they aligned with the CIA stance on trashing the constitution. Wouldn't want someone to pull a Snowden on them.

The most common definition I see is those born from about 1980 to 2000. Personally, I think this is way too large to lump everyone into. Very different life excrescences and different social norms.

I completely agree. I do not think this is a millennial problem. I go to the theater a lot, and I'm in this age group as well, the one's I see using there phones are either younger 12-15 year old or older such as in the 40s or 50s. I only see it maybe one movie in every 20 or 30 that I go to. It also depends on the movie that is showing, tend to see it more in comedies aimed at teens or those romance dramas. If they really want to attract millennials, this is not the way to do it. My suggestion is offer a place social engagement before or after the movie. Look at some of the things Alamo drafthouse is doing with a bar attached to the theater plus good dine in theaters with good food that you'd find in a decent restaurant. There is even one not very far from there new expensive Leawood Headquarters in downtown Kansas City, I'm sure they they can find it, it use to be an AMC.

I've decided I don't like or trust anyone from either of the two major parties that is running so I've decided write in Edward Snowden just because it would be funny. It would be even funnier if he it cracked a few percentage points and was reported in the news. What would also be entertaining is if Trump and Sanders are the last two standing.

Several states have laws restricting the use of police scanners while driving. Most just restrict the use while committing a crime so it just becomes something else they can use to add to the list of charges. Others restrict using a scanner while driving. Some departments use to have alternate channels that where not published before digital bands that they would switch to when needed.

Radio telescopes don't collect visible light unlike optical telescopes. So unless our sun is causing too much interference like it does for optical telescopes, I don't see why they would only operate at night.

When I get a divide by zero error, sometimes it is because I made some other error such as mis-spelling a variable name or maybe my database connection is broke. Less of an issue with TDD or BDD, but it makes me go back and evaluate if I really expect zero to be a valid value.
