Maybe somebody without Ghost? If you don't have something similar to Ghost, then you sure as hell don't fire someone with something illegal on the HDD. That is one certain way to open yourself (as a company) up to lawsuits. If you cannot prove what was on the laptop when you gave it to him, the firing surely is on shaky grounds.
Good to know they researched heavily before firing him. At my company when re-deploying hardware like a laptop it is standard to wipe it completely and load a ghosted image. Who WOULDN'T do at least as much?
I'm extremely disappointed to see this... Denon is quality equipment and always has been. I'm basically ashamed at this moment to have a Denon A/V receiver sitting in the living room...
Thanks!!! I don't know why I never saw this anywhere else, I had actually downgraded to Firefox 2 over this one issue. Thank you so much, I installed it and it works perfect.
He's implying that anyone clueless enough to think they can get "unlimited access to the internet" for a measly ~$40/month deserves to get burned. People that dumb are the ones responsible for the subprime mess.
Sorry, that is not the case. People are morons for getting into subprime troubles, but they are not lied to when they sign the papers. Truth-in-lending laws require the total cost of the mortgage to be put right on the front page (the page with those four boxes) very clearly.
Comcast spamming the airwaves with "Unlimited! Always-on internets!!!" is not the same thing. It is very clear they are misleading their customers. I should be limited by either my speed or a total cap, but not both...and NOT measured via some imaginary total to which I can not be made privy.
I don't know if it's possible for the youtube link to get/.'ed but the shaking starts almost 5 minutes into the video and lasts for about 90 seconds. I have never been in an earthquake and certainly not sure how I'd feel about one that lasted so long.
Well, seeing as how this thing was burnt to a crisp in the photos I saw the site before the slashdotting set in, there were no pictures of the HDD, just the ship itself. There is not really proof positive that the drive was burnt to a crisp.
Data recovery has come a long way, keep this in mind when not using proper deletion techniques! Would have been nice to see a picture of the HDD though, to get a full understanding of the recovery.
I think the 8" floppy was 160k (180?), last time I saw one of them was scarily recent since they are used in the IBM 3800 printer of which there are still a couple alive and breathing.
If I want your product, I'll go looking for it. This is the beauty of the internet age. I do not need to be called at home and be "sold" on something I did not ask for.
If I called you, and you are returning my call, this is completely different.
It's a very corrosive environment that has little to do with age. I'll grant this in a heartbeat. 'Corrosive' is a perfect way to put it. I agree, it is difficult to keep a positive attitude and think you are someone who can "make a difference" or be successful when the industry continues to beat you down. I lumped older workers, probably unfairly, in this paradigm. In fairness to my original post though, I did qualify it with those people "around me".
It's good to see that the "older" crowd is also involved in start-ups. Most of the 40-somethings around me are stick-in-the-muds who have no interest in change or taking any risks.
It makes it easier for me to succeed. Though I did just turn 30, not as much a youngster anymore. I think the biggest reason 20-er's succeed is they do not understand the world wants them to fail (so they don't). Older folks are so much more cynical that they don't step out of the comfort zone.
You write as if "IT staff for the Office of the President of the United States" are not mere mortals, or even worse, mere civil servants.... Exactly, how much luck have YOU ever had with government workers? The white house should be where the cream rises to the top.
I am impressed by the judge. It is nice to see a case where the defendant was not at the mercy of expensive lawyers, and the judge actually took a look at the case law before making a decision.
It is crazy to assume a wrongdoing when no transaction has taken place. Alcohol stores are not fined when minors fail to buy alcohol, a transaction has to take place for the offense to be actionable. Good show.
"Would you buy a Metallica online album despite their former views?"
Yes. I support people learning from their mistakes and willing to correct them.
I'm more in this boat, with another caveat that if THIS succeeds there will be many more bands who may try the same.
I enjoy all their old stuff, and it's always nice to be able to get the new stuff for free and see if any of the songs are good (every release has had 1-2 songs I consider enjoyable, except for St. Anger and its snare drums.)
Lastly, people need to get over the butt-hurt crying of "they need to apologize to me before I do anything". Get over it, rock stars have ALWAYS been about the max dollar, and by being used as the RIAA's puppets you can see exactly how that plays out.
I've been a fan forever of them, and of course I agree they sold out at Black, replacing Flemming Rasmussen with Bob Rock. Cliff dying didn't help the situation, Justice... was released without him, but I think his sprit was still fresh in the album, as Jason certainly didn't get to help write any of it.

Latest version of Foxmarks doesn't work :( Oh well, it was worth a try!

I'm not in a position to try it at the moment, but is this really as good as Starry Night Pro?
Does it offer telescope controls as well? I know telescope control is sort of a feature that allows one to be lazy, but maybe that is why I like it :)

And the Internal Revenue Service has received "donations" from 200+ million Americans and thousands of businesses. What it is selling must be amazing.
Just because the copies went out the door, does not mean everyone asked to buy them.
Your sig is 25% true.
I'll drink to that!!!
(seriously though...hooray WINE!)

lol, very good point actually.

They said they are working with BT, and working on this "bill of rights", and also admitting to slowing down the throttling.
I have never seen them say they are stopping such activities.
