Not only that.. there were all types of employers that have been telling applicants to give up your Facebook password or we will not hire you, period. I haven't even heard of any specific cases dealing with prisons.
When you have so many job seekers and a real unemployment up in the 12-15% range employers start to think a bunch of new things are acceptable!
This is just one of them. Another is having an unwritten policy that they won't hire anyone that is unemployed. Another is an unspoken policy that they'll make job descriptions so tight they can use H1-B visa holders. The list goes on and on.
yeah.. the armament was operational, not the entire death star. It wasn't like there was a huge gaping hole in the side that was big enough for to fly through or anything.
Everyone in the U.S. agrees that it's okay to have your goal as "making a profit." People that try to claim otherwise are creating a fallacy.
What people in the U.S. don't actually agree on is that it is okay to have a goal *other* than "making a proft." This is the crux of the whole Enron mess. It's okay to have an organization whose main goal is make sure other businesses have power at a decent price and to break even at it. Saying such things in the U.S. right now will likely get you labeled a "socialist" by the modern know-nothing party.
Is this another example of "all or nothing" attitude?
I use a bit of solar on my own house and I wish that I had a way to put up a wind turbine. They are great supplementary forms of power, but it seems like the attitude is that if they aren't perfect then they are worthless.
You apparently don't understand the weight given to so "journalist" compared to a regular slob like myself. There is a reason why HE got squelched and someone like me didn't. To them one of him is equal to 10,000 of me, give or take.
Everyone is entitled to your opinion, but I am very tired of people calling something like this a "conspiracy theory." It isn't conspiracy... it was done by one person (or corporation) out in the open. You're using it a slur and as a way to try to make me look bad and nothing more.
It's not even clear if posting the email is against their TOS even if it is private... and it isn't private. Their email naming scheme is clear and the full address has been published before.
This is corporate asshattery.... there isn't any doubt about it to anyone but the poster. NBC and Twitter are partners and they muzzled a critic for a trumped up infraction.
There hasn't been discussion about it here, but the whole NBC coverage is an idiotic, jingoistic, and technical mess. Read #nbcfail on twitter yourself (I know... slashdotters are too cool for twitter) and you'll see it yourself.
The reason that this stinks is because it appears to be the exact same rom that was released. The only reason to release the rom would be to get entusiasts to crowdsource and see if there are actual differences from the released version.
Someone could of easily just taken a old cartridge rom from a released cart. and put it in its own case. If you could show differences it would be a different story.
How is this an expansion of government? The FDA regulates food and drugs. Most sane people want food and drugs to be regulated because we aren't microbiologists.
This false choice between communism and anarchy needs to end. We can't have proper debates while it's pushed like this.
This doesn't seem to be a politician problem, but a power problem.
Read the Forbes article and the lists of people who just didn't address the issue because they didn't have you with a variation on the theme "We're a big corporation and we don't have to talk to you."
No one should have too much power, whether it is a corporation or whether it is a government official.

...and it really DID play a movie of naked girls eating bacon??
That would be good news.
why... that's socialism. Let's get your ass thrown out of the country.

an idiot with free hardware, apparently.
I'm one of them.
...wait.. what? They did something good for customers?

Because a technical retard thinks this is a great way to look like they're from the 21st century and they're "hip," "groovy," and "tubular."
It's reminiscent of "The Young Ones" skit where they are making fun of young people's programing.
This is a *really* biased opinion and even if it is true now it isn't going to be true forever.

The thing is that like the rolling Enron blackouts this isn't likely to change a thing.
As long as the corporate bastards at the top are all right, jack, they could give a rats about anyone else.
But people still having problem with understanding through the accents.

And always these arguments make the assumption that doing something that nets you one dollar more is ALWAYS the right thing to do.
That's a great way to get around the philosophical problem of morality, isn't it?
Again.. this ignores the fact that no one can find this rule in the TOS.

welcome to the Streisand effect!
I bet their exchange server is choking as we speak. There's little doubt it's exchange, either...

Looks like it is being used as a drug to me...

They're corporations. They can hire more lawyers than you can, so, thus, they deserve more "justice."
That's just how it works right now.

Well.. at least they have to be creative and come up with a reason to get a court order at that point.
They aren't going to go the judge and say that they need a warrant because the backup files might show brutal police action... are they?
