If only that were true. Unfortunately, companies, corporations anyway, do have the same rights as individuals in the United States. I tend to lean pretty hard to the right in most things political, but this fact has to change before companies do rule the world (even more than they do now).

Ok, just adding to my post. Compare to this item at amazon http://tinyurl.com/p875r. The price should be about the same as this "location free" TV yet have much, much more functionality.

The quickest start would be to go to the information commissioner's website (http://www.esd.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/ and see if your employer is registered to process employee data. Chances are they might be. If they're not, then you've got them. Failing that, they should (though it is not a legal requirement) comply with the codes of practice (http://tinyurl.com/dlwqr [www.ico.gov.uk]). The first paragraph of which points out that guidance on targeted surveillance of employees is 'forthcoming', so you might have to wait a bit if that's what you're worried about. If you're really impatient, you could report them to the Information Commissioner anyway. This is quite simple, and, providing you can prove (a) it is their intention to use captured images illicitly (b) pictures of you in an office constitute significant personal information and (c) that the cameras aren't be used for monitoring the 'security of the premises' or for 'public and employee safety', it would seem you've got a cast-iron case.

Our office installed a linksys web camera (http://tinyurl.com/pxnpv), and while its not CCTV its functionally equivilent, since this can be viewed over a web server on the device by anyone. What rules in the united states would apply to this?

Java developer out of work due to the big dot-bomb crash of 2001; had my fiance's insurance. We got married in September, had a honeymoon, Sept 11th happened on the day we were supposed to come back.

I'd been having night sweats for months and had lost a lot of weight for the wedding; wasn't eating much, but thought that fat guys sweat a lot at night, so didn't think much of it.

Lost 60 pounds. Night sweats. Drenched the bed.

After our honeymoon, I started having CHILLS. and Night Sweats. Crazy stuff. Teeth chattering, etc.

I got to the doctors and he said I had Montezuma's Revenge and... something else. Hepatitis? Blood work was coming up weird. He ran more tests then sent me to an oncologist at the "Cancer Center".

"Don't be scared of the name," he told me. "It just says Cancer. Doesn't mean you have cancer."

My oncologist was great. I had a lump under my armpit. She and the surgeon could feel it. I couldn't tell. Married for 2 weeks. No job. Whee, fun.

I had a bone marrow test; no cancer there. Surgery told us it was Hodgkin's Disease. Later to be renamed by Larry David as "The Good Hodgkin's" [ http://tinyurl.com/lpcsz ] He's a crackup.

Stage 3B. It's spread across my chest and into my spleen and liver. Curable, they told me. On the roulette wheel of cancers, you want Hodgkin's. No one in my family had ever had it. A blood aunt had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. A non-blood aunt also had had NHL.

My mom kept a clean home - they say that many Hodgkin's cases come from clean homes. That bitch. :-)

I was told 6 months of chemo and then radiation treatment. In the meantime, I was frantically looking for a job, but no one was hiring.

Had my first chemo, then 2 days later an interview. Java development. They wanted to hire me, but I told him, "Look, I have to be honest with you. I can easily do what you ask, but I just started chemotherapy. It's curable they tell me, but I need one day off every 2 weeks for treatment; they only do treatment on a weekday. I just had my first treatment 2 days ago (true) and I'm right here, fine, and coherent."

My future manager really liked me and agreed, but I wasn't paid top dollar for my position. Who cares; we had 2 incomes and I had something to think about instead of mulling my "doom" in the apartment. They were fantastic to me, but have been out of business for 3 years (through no fault of mine - they were bought out and everyone was laid off or forced to move to Utah).

I had ABVD chemo on Mondays. In retrospect, I should have scheduled for Thursdays or Fridays. I was violently ill on Wednesdays and couldn't properly taste anything until the next Wednesday. Of course, that didn't stop me from eating and my mom said I'm a miracle - the first person to gain weight while on chemo. :-) That bitch. :-)

I got a portocatheter in my chest; if you're going to get Chemo, that's the f*cking Rolls Royce of chemotherapy. Just plug right into the chest. Chemo ended up being 8 months, but no radiation. I involunterily vomited every time they injected me with saline to "clean the pipes". Told me that the old people didn't notice it, but since I was young, it was bad. I still can't swallow salt water without a little retching.

After 8 months, the PET Scan showed it was clear. Gone. Vanished. I was good to go. Remission. Had cat scans to follow up every 3 months and then 6 months after that. After 5 years, I'll be considered cured.

Regarding the weight thing; I was scared to lose weight for the last 3 years. I realized that I subconsciously related weight loss to having cancer. Saw a therapist and she helped me move on with a little advice. Told me that I was "easy because I'm a self-realized hypocondriac". She's was right. I eventually joined the Dr. Siegel "Cookie Diet" and lost 70 pounds.

On the cancer side,

Actually, check the criteria in the U.S. Code. You may be a member of what is called the "unorganized militia." I'll print it below for your convenience.

Title 10 Subtitle A Part 1 Chapter 13 Section 311

311. Militia: composition and classes
Release date: 2005-07-12

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

(b) The classes of the militia are--

1. the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
2. the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Don't be led by the recent release date into believing that this is something new. This is very old law.

It's a pity the real poor coverage KOffice gets in the web compared to OpenOffice, being a really cool suite with great programs. It deserves a lot of respect what are they doing.

The one class of PDAs I know to be on the rise is... analog!

I just splurged and dropped ~$20 on a new PDA. This PDA I purchased is great! The batteries never run out, it is almost totally immune to shock from being dropped, I can transfer data easily between home and office, and the format is universal so I never have to worry about incompatibilities, and it is so fast and easy to use that even my parents can understand it. I went ahead and purchased an add-on module for it so I could have the advanced calendaring to track my gigs and rehearsals. Luckily, I already had a docking station for it with extra storage capacity as well as a variety of other add-ons, so it fit right into my daily routine.

I consider it one of the best investments I've made in years. Spending $20 to successfully replace a $300 device may not sound realistic, but I've never been more organized than I am now. All I had to do that I got rid of my old PDA systems (Palm OS based devices) and find something that fit better with my new filing system.

I don't know if I would be willing to trust Atlassian. On their page for the top ten features of JIRA here

They have this as the first reason:
JIRA has features that you just will not find in any other issue tracker:

* Easily build and save highly-configurable filters (dynamic queries) across all issues in the system.
Umm... SugarCRM, Bugzilla, SalesForce, and Remedy have this (to varying degrees)

* Share filters with other users, or subscribe to them and get the results emailed to you periodically.
In Bugzilla(email the search link to share, RSS feeds)
In SugarCRM(not sure how to share; I suppose you could email search links, RSS feeds as well)
The other 2 I listed before, I don't know, haven't used too much.

* Dynamic issue links allow you to link issues across projects, for example duplicates or subissues.
SugarCRM, Bugzilla, SalesForce, and Remedy have this (linking bugs back and forth should be a standard feature in a bug tracker)

* The Dashboard gives each user a single place to view all information relevant to them at a glance.
Bugzilla - My Bugs
Remedy - My Issues (if I remember correctly)
SugarCRM - Home
SalesForce - Home (yeah it is a stretch on these last 2, you are managing way too much information to fit it all on one screen usually with these apps)

* Custom fields,
Bugzilla - (not exactly yet [there are patches that do this now tho], see this buglist, and especially bug 91037
SugarCRM - yep
Remedy - yep (as I understand it, everything is a custom field in Remedy)
SalesForce - I believe so

Excel integration,
Bugzilla, SugarCRM, Remedy, SalesForce - yep

project roadmaps,
Bugzilla - define roadmap exactly, if you are looking for milestones and dependencies, then yes, if you are looking for marketing hype then possibly not
SugarCRM, Remedy, SalesForce - yep

changelogs,
Bugzilla - sorta, if you are using it correctly
SugarCRM, Remedy, SalesForce - I don't know

REST API
What is this?
Bugzilla - not a "REST" API... (lots of perl modules, for users wanting server API for writing plugins, bug 224577 is the start of a future SOAP API that would let bugzilla become a web service :))
SugarCRM, SalesForce - Both have their own API's for writing plugins
Remedy - Is there any need for one? The problem with Remedy is that it often does too much. This is why they send a person to your installation site to discuss with you exactly what you need, and then they customize it for you.

and much, much more...
This doesn't even need commenting.

I am just using these 4 (very different) products to demonstrate because I have used each of them. I am sure there are others that maintain each of those features.

Hutter's AIXI, http://www.idsia.ch/~marcus/ai/paixi.htm makes another argument for the connection between compression and AI that is more general than the Turing test. He proves that the optimal behavior of an agent (an interactive system that receives a reward signal from an unknown environment) is to guess that the environement is most likely computed by the shortest possible program that is consistent with the behavior observed so far. In other words, the most likely outcome for any experiment is the one with the simplest explanation, where "simplest" means the smallest program that could model what you currently know about the universe.

He gives a formal proof, but it basically says that the only possible distribution of the infinite set of programs (or strings) with nonzero probability is one which favors shorter programs over longer ones. Given any string of length n with probability p > 0, there are an infinite set of strings longer than n, but only a finite number of these can have probability higher than p.

It is shown that optimal text compression is a harder problem thanartificial intelligence as defined by Turing's (1950) imitation game; thus compression ratio on a standard benchmark corpuscould be used as an objective and quantitative alternative test for AI (Mahoney, 1999).

A Reflexion Upon Contemporary Conservatism's Moral Relativism:
No Real Conservative would ever ground justifcations for their deeds in the acts, words, or thoughts of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Yet this is precisely what they do when rationalising the theft of habeas corpus and due process rights from the "detainees" of the Bush Farce Upon Terror. This sans-a-spine tyranny, the reprehensible thievery of natural liberty, is an act more befitting trotskyites than conservatives.

I never said I'd want to change a gay person. I don't!

You said there was evidence that homosexuality (when defined as one's sexual preference) is caused rather than chosen. I agree. I find the evidence for biological predetermination (such as genetics) a little shaky, but I believe there is ample evidence that psychological and sociological issues can pre-dispose someone to homosexuality.

There was a study done linking brain chemistry to sexual preference, see Homosexuality may be issue of brain chemistry

It seems that sexual abuse (among many other factors), especially by a father at an early age, can pre-dispose someone to homosexuality. See for example Human sexual orientation. Archives of General Psychiatry

There are in fact gay men and women who desire not to be so, see Why Conservatives Should Embrace the Gay Gene Should we reject these people, telling them they were born gay and will always be that way? How insensitive of you!

But the question, which you are so ignorantly missing is, if a homosexual chooses not to sleep with the same sex, is he/she still homosexual?

Hey! I have an idea, why don't you talk to some real psychologists at a real university about what the prevailing scientific findings are about this?
