This seems like a throw-away bill. There is no chance it will make it to the president's desk before congress closes for the year and all bills have to start over.
The CEO of Eve Bank stole the online cash. The CEO of CCP (maker of eve) had nothing to do with this. Eve Bank is a player run financial institution inside the game. FACT CHECK!
Do you want to pay your operators Gov salaries (2.?% increase this year) or do you want to pay them a competitive wage? Think hard about the quality you get for each of these...

I work at www.guidestar.org and when we went about doing a complete server upgrade we were able to get LOTS of gear at steeply discounted prices or even free (our NAS/SAN I don't remember which).

Leo Frankowski is the name of the author. Really nifty little series.. (Crosstime Engineer) Gets abit corny into the 6th book but is a fun read. --Angus
I have to agree, especially since all of the different apache projects would be left out. All of the linux distros are ignores. Mozilla anyone? Do Gnome, XDE, netbeans, or eclipse check into sourceforge? Sourceforge is for smaller projects that don't have the time/ability/desire to set up their own complete open source environment.
If I am the pastor of a competing church in your community, and require that you wear these special glasses when you come into my church which changes the pretty stained glass windows of the Virgin Mary or Baby Jesus into horrific pictures of Satan, or Pagan Goat Sacrifices, would that be ok with you?
Um, It's your church... Do what you will. Let us mutate your example a bit. What I am saying is if a guy is outside on the street giving away those glasses that is his right. And it is the right of the people receiving the glasses to decide if they are going to wear these third party glasses into your church. If the guy puts the glasses on the people's faces in exchange for a free glass of water and they can't figure out how to get them off it isn't the guys problem. They didn't need the water.

But they aren't modifying the website. They are modifying the interface that is used to view the website. I really don't see how this is illegal. The content owners might be upset but nothing is happening to them. They are assuming that everyone is viewing their site through a browser. What if I wrote a program that monitored their pages for content, DL'd it, and presented to me in a more consise format. This wouldn't be illegal I don't think. They put out content, I use it. Do they have any actual control over how I make use of it for myself only?

unit test first... I would say this could be a good idea, but I suspect that it's impossible more often than not. And when there's scope creep and the deadline's tomorrow, do we update the test plan first? yeah, right.
test plan? what test plan? Just write a little test that will exercise the method you are about to code. Then write the code that will make the test stop breaking.
Collective code ownership = chaos. I once wrote a TCP/IP layer for a big blue 800lbs gorilla. The code was complete, it entered testing, and was half way through (two weeks worth of testing!) when one of the other programmers decided to rewrite a section of my code suposedly to improve performance. So let's see, someone else's code with my name on it. Great!
Um, Your name isn't on it. EVERYONE'S IS! Also, if his code broke your unit tests/acceptance tests when he tried to integrate his change on the integration machine it is his job to fix the damn code.
Moving people around
Yup, they have to restrict the movement to when a story is complete or to when someone is deep into the weeds and just can't get out.

After reading about XP it looks like it was designed for people with ADHD. Or at least the practices would really help someone with ADHD cope with their problem. XP seems to really slim down the crap and let someone get to the good part while having someone keep the programmer on track.

I was shocked to hear the Obama era idea get some traction with the Trump Admin. Hasn't anyone heard of https://18f.gsa.gov/?
This is an EXCELLENT example of a strawman or false equivalency argument. Please add the tag "strawman".
This is why we can't have nice things...
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
They want their headline back.
The Coast Guard does patrol. On the other hand, how many boats do you think they have? The safety area is huge compared to a size of a boat.
Didn't I see something like this on an episode of Burn Notice a couple of years back?
No one else has this story?

Anyone but me recognize this as an EXCELLENT opportunity for these "specialists" to get paid? This IS China we are talking about.
You will not have outlook or OneNote so you will have to find different solutions for them.

Interesting, but you are assuming they can read. 20 years of war will to amazing things to a rural school system.
Search slashdot for government, florida, linux, desktop. There was an article about a town replacing all their MS stuff with linux stuff.

Check out APC for an integrated solution. --Angus
Yup, esp helps in making sure that the unit tests get written befor you start coding :)
