Comment Ahh the fetish of computers ..... (Score 2) 90

The assumption with little evidence that putting computers in classrooms at great expense is better than spending the money elsewhere is astounding. Just because alpha geeks enjoy "learning" with computers most people use them as a passive tool. This is not that such tools are good or bad as general consumer items but it is hard to claim that they are a miracle cure for an education system. It is about as a ludicrous claim as "Jesus Saves"

Preventing intellectual property theft is a top priority of the FBI’s cyber program.

Key to our success is linking the considerable resources and efforts of the private sector with law enforcement partners on local, state, federal, and international levels.

However in this case the same chorus is cheering the IP Address smoking gun as solid evidence of guilt. Go figure!
