believe there is a fairly equal ratio of good bands to bad bands in both categories, independent or otherwise. I will keep an open mind to all music, without putting a black mark on their name because they couldn't afford to record their own music without help from the RIAA.
so I guess you believe extortion torture Corrupt politicians are good things also. If you support evil then it will grow
what you should do is support that independent artist so that they don't need RIAA backing.
Actually I would think that you would want a teacher to know how your kids interact and use the tools at hand.
Being a parent of Two fairly brilliant and fun (one an engineer for Mercedes, other getting ready to graduate in a few years)
I would want this type of person teaching my kids. Why? Because shes in tune and relates with the groups shes
teaching. Her very job description is that of relaying knowledge. This means she has to relate with them.
The only danger is that of the perceived one, and not the real danger which is ignorance!
It's not the actual drinking that's the problem...that's nobody else's business. It's the teacher publicizing her personal life without discretion. That's the unprofessional behavior here. I'm curious as to what is not appropriate about a picture in this space?
Many of my daughters teachers have myspace areas for the purpose of homework assignments and such.
A picture of her in a pirate hat (well not really but for arguments sake it is). on Halloween?
if anything it shows that a person that will be teaching children is actually in tune with their social structure and how it works. She should be applauded for having the foresight to use this technology to
get through to students.
There was nothing inappropriate here other than the University's lack of foresight and integrity.
I've been in a similar position where I was asked me to testify against my employer. My employer made it clear that if I did "my Career" path would be very limited. So I testified my company was found at fault and within 3 months I was asked to resign, at which point I refused. A few months later I was RIF'd from my position with no separation package. In the exit interview I simply stated "wonder how the lawyers" will feel about this. True to form I had an offer to leave and not come back but I would receive a paycheck for the next 18 months along with all my benefits. If you do the right thing you wont have any regrets. In your position I'm guessing you probably have a manager that is trying to look good by saving money. when the chips fall he's not going to stand in the way of some one else taking the blame. Remember you work for.gov and your expected to fall on your sword
Kids rebel that is part of their growing up. I did, most "normal" children do. The difference here is that the adult, rather than taking the high ground and appropriate action and "EDUCATING"(he is an educator) these young minds, has decided that he will drag it out, waste public funds and the courts time. In other times the principal would have contacted the parents and a reasonable solution would have been reached. All this would have been done without punishing the entire school and bringing this to national attention.
Shouldn't he be the adult here. The one to take the higher ground. This almost sounds like a school yard fight between two "children". He's probably done more damage whining like a little bitch than if he just ignored it, rather than it being a localized issue hes taken it to the next step.
Wait so your saying you support people who work with *your* budget and you are not willing to support them with innovative technology and make the *company* you work for more profitable? These are the people that are actually doing the "production", who you support? Maybe you need to learn how to create a realistic budget and go for that money. After all if some one is being more productive, in the end isn't that the wanted result, more productivity greater innovation and a forward thinking.
Law enforcement would probably like this as a tool for photos of a crime area or accident
it could probably also be used in conjunction with Google maps to do surveying given enough time.
Could this just be a ploy to point out intent to break the law?
If I'm a bank that wants to transfer money from one place to another and I get wind of a robbery happening, and I set up a decoy. Then the decoy is robbed do not the same laws apply as if the real thing were robbed?
Granted I cant buy a car without an engine. But I usually have my choice of engines. I can also choose which fuel I run and the oil I choose to run in said engine. It's not a car without an engine. Conversely Why do I usually have my choice of windows XP home edition, or Professional, or even media center. There are options unfortunately they all seem to be of the microsoft brand. If Microsoft Designed and produced workstations then that would be a different story, like auto manufactures they could insist on using only their manufactured power plants. that being said Microsoft doesnt produce their own hardware so it should be up to the end user to make that choice
You market a PC as a consumer product you must ship it with an OEM system install. .
Just wondering why you would make such an absurd statement. I have never seen a law that stated you must sell with an OEM install with a system.
System builders are insignificant in this market segment. The Geek is insignificant in this market segment. They may be insignificant in your mind but they are still a driving force in the development of the PC.
Corporations collect, retain, and use private information without so much as the most minimal regulation. Their claim that they need the data for business purposes seems to trump concerns of freedom and privacy. How egregious must their offenses become?
so your saying that these laws dont apply to corp amerika. I personally get very tired of telling companies that they are in violation of the law when they ask for my ssn

For the IT/Geek Community at large to stand up and play the game by their rules... Let them make accusations and demand that you bring your hard drive to court to find, yes thousands of MP3's on your hard drive then bring in all of your paid for music and toss it at them, along with a law suite for wrongfully accusing you of Pirating music/media. then raise a suit of libel/slander. It is obvious that the current tack is not working. Heck set up a/. music trading p2p site that is nothing more than a renamed music from Archive.org and let them look like fools.
The biggest problem I see is that they have not been made accountable for actions taken -- no one has yet found away to make them look real bad in court
So would it also stand to reason that if all those things are true that M$ may find its self in a similar position with Unix/Apple( mouse) IBM's O/S 2 and any other OS released before windows?
Wouldn't planting a worm/virus/Trojan/root kit basically be against the law?
Isn't this along the lines of hacking?
Last I checked people were in jail for this type of activity
I'll give them an email address that I can kill
First I 'll see if I can opt out.
If I cant then maybe small claims court?
I wouldn't make any $ but I sure would become a pain in the ass.
Imagine if 5000 Small claims cases were filled against them?
Yes I'm fishing, but not trolling
Contrary to your continuing assertions, there was never a Right to anonymous travel in the United States. It just happened to be that way, that you could travel anonymously (although you could never stay in a hotel without registering). It sucks, that you no longer can, but it does not signify any lost Right. Nor does it imply imminent genocide(s), and human-burning ovens -- the things, for which we really hate the Nazis...
maybe you should re-read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution once again then a refresher of the Amendments, this is a guarantee afforded to us. "You'll learn to discuss things as you grow up. Talk to you later..."
Oh and little one, I'm already in the twilight of my life -- I've traveled the world and pretty much seen it all at this point in my life. You on the other hand need to lose your myopic point of view, understand the past to see where we are now and why. Your apathy is one of those things that will ultimately be your downfall

yea I've slept at work but that was after a 24 hour shift The company I worked for at the time even provided mats to crash on
