Or... 1. They work for a Unionized employee base and the Boss needs a PI to fire the slacker. As they need real proof before they do any HR. I have worked for a lot of companies Big Ones little one, with higher management with the low men on the organization Unionized and Un-unionized and let me tell you this there is no attempt to keep the people down usually there are attempts to bring people up. However most people will not allow them to do things like a Raise and more Responsibility. So they stay at their same job doing what they did, and no raise. Union people tend to feel ultra entitled (being entitled is a bad thing) so they will more often abuse the system then just being honest. So a company will need a PI to cut threw the red tape and fire the dishonest bastard who is wasting money.
2. If the Boss is going to waist company money to hire a PI to fire you. Then he better have a good reason otherwise he is just wasting money. Most companies actually try to keep people hired as training costs are high. If he is going to spend all this money to fire you because he doesn't like you then it is just a double bad for business.
3. How is hiring a PI new? They have been doing this for hundreds of years.
Corporations are easy they are about making money. If they are going to do something that is opposite to that goal then there is a serious problem. Keeping their workforce down doing low level jobs vs. hiring them up is counter productive and bad for the bottom line. If they are going to hire a PI it will be because they need to prove that you are costing more then it will be to correct your behavior and hire a PI.
The year of Linux on the desktop is the same year the the Desktop becomes irrelevant.
This isn't about the death of the Desktop, just as the Mainframe hasn't died yet either. It is a shift in usage. The Mainframe was widely used across orgs including many smaller companies then the PC (and PC based servers) had slowly replaced them leaving the mainframe reserved to large companies who need the big horse power. A lot of mainframe companies have died or been merged and became less relevant Prime, Digital, leaving IBM and HP to control that market.
The PC will have a similar fate. It will loose the home market. and its job will be for more for jobs that take medium level number crunching (think excel sheets and basic DB stuff), and software development jobs. Probably Dell and Lenovo or HP.
Are we going to loose something as home users... Yes. just as the small business lost out when they in essence downgraded from mainframes to Desktops... However they will gain features too, such as improved mobility, power savings, and better price.
Is Microsoft going to be dead in a new Linux world order. Probably not. Right now Android is looking like it will become king. However the game for mobile is still rather early. Apple is still strong, Microsoft does have a reputation of coming in late in the game. And the GNU community does have a tendency step on its own feet and change its rules to fight off profitable use of GNU software that has any sort of lock-down.
1. If they were to leave it will take years to do so.
2. While they are there they will need to protect themselves
3. There is a fine line between a civilian and militants when people are protecting their own country. And many civilians will become militant even when it isn't warranted.
4. Solders will protect themselves if they are threatened
War isn't nice or pretty good people die. However sabotaging it and just make it more dangerous is not effective, and will just cause more pain on both sides and does nothing to help resolve the conflict.
Harm... 1. It is now much harder for musicians to land recording contracts. Because music industry will only record big sellers as the other types would spread via file sharing.
2. Not respecting the license is a bad thing pirating software is just as bad as taking GNU software bundling it and not giving access to the source.
3. Distorts supply and demand and free market economy as it creates a high supply lowering the cost of the software. Meaning us professionals don't get paid alot.
Ummm. No. You take it out. That is why it is rape. The longer it is there the higher chance for a STD pregnancy, or just the fact he didnt stop he is controlling power over her. At whatever stage or the relationship when one side says stop you stop.
If he did a good job he would have self censored names and minor details which crossed the line of giving information and creating a dangerous environment. Sure information should be free but not all details. Ok the military killed more civilians then they reported, that is good leak that the public should know. But who had each kill or the name of a platoon that did it, is dangerious and wrong. Because it puts them in greater risk.
There hasn't been any legal action against people who read the documents however, a lot of students are trying to get some nice government jobs that may require some security clearance. That means you may get a full check up on your habits... If they see that you are you browsing WikiLeaks it just may mean that you may not be the best person to be trusted with classified information. Hence you will not the job.
Why is information classified? It is not as much to keep it away from the honest citizens but to keep it out from other countries... Sure it is nice to say all information should be public... But do you want say North Korea to know our military plans? Do you want the people of Iraq know what we think about a candidate before an election? Do you want the Taliban know which troops have a higher civilian kill rate then other troops?
The WikiLeaks articles really didn't give out any information that we found as shocking. Any Idiot knows that that our troops have killed innocent civilians, or that some leaders of other countries are not the most upright leaders. All this does is puts names next to the remarks and puts it on an official record.
It is like I am sure you browse for porn. However I dig further and show the sites that you browsed and put your real name to that, and say posted in a spot where your friends and family could see it. I am sure they know you probably browse for porn most people do... However to have the details public just makes your life more difficult.
You cross the line when you do such things for profit vs. for yourself. Buy doing this for profit and in bulk he is abusing one companies business model to create his own.
Jail Breaking your iPhone which you paid for either full price or after paying a termination fee, to go on a different network is up to you. But selling that phone is the problem.
From TFA it looks like there is just 1 molecule different. Could it be possible that a Phosphate got replaced by Arsenic by some environmental condition and the fact that they were poisonous to most other life it allowed them to evolve further. A bacteria got lucky it didn't die after a mutation.
Open Source doesn't have a peer review process. Some projects might not not Open Source.
Only enough technically there isn't much difference between closed and open source software. They will still get security issues, bugs, and other problems.
Perhaps it is because GNU and other FOSS are distribution license not a technical guide or operational guidelines. I can produce crap and put it under whatever license I want and it will still be crap.
Now there will be the argument if I make crap and make it Open Source then someone else can see if an make it better. However it was crap then they would make their own or just not bother with your product. As if it was closed source no one would buy it.
Now if it was a good product (and got enough attention) other developers will flock to add stuff to it and make it better if it was open source. If it was closed source your product will sell you will make money and hire more developers to add to it so you can sell more or new versions.
Good or Bad software isn't from the license. It is from design of the system, the quality of the coding, how well it fixes a problem... The issue with the license is more about legal, funding, business model, personal beliefs etc...
Your right. I shall buy an other kindle. As a company is more interesting in keeping their services running then a long fight with legal departments and the United States, over storing illegal classified documents.
This is not whistle blowing stuff, most educated people know a lot of the material anyways or at least had a good inkling what was going on. However it is just embarrassing stuff to the nations.
How would you feel if you let a friend borrow your computer and they downloaded your journals or some questionable photos and post it on the internet for everyone to see. I am not talking about identity theft or material that would get you fired from most jobs but just stuff that will make you embarrassed.
This information is the property of the US government (Weither or not if you agree that this should be the case is immaterial at the moment) thus the government has the rights to tell any organization to remove it that is in its jurisdiction. This is unlike the wiretapping a few years ago, as it know the information it just wants it to be stopped.
If Amazon would fight this. 1. They will most likely loose and suffer huge fines. 2. Millions of dollars spent on legal 3. Costs will be pushed to the consumer.
Please explain how this is a distortion of a free market. You have supply, demand and a fixed cost. Now if the supply and demand equilibrium falls under your fixed cost. That usually means that it may not be the best product to sell. However if over the use of the product there is the ability to bring in more revenue. Then the loss would be considered as an investment. Much the same as an advertising campaign. As right now the cost of the ereader is more then the market wants they will loose a lot more in content.
It is a classic give away the razor and sell the blades.
Now yes if it being sold under price B&N will make a fuss as they are giving a way a product that costs them money for no return.
What new technology ever came out in the last 20 years of history. The 1990's had Cell Phones, Laptops, They were even touch screens, we had the internet...
Back in the 1990's if we took a quick look at today we would be probably unimpressed. However if you say brought back a smart phone from today to the 90's you would have an amazing piece of hardware much more advanced then what most people have seen.
Innovation is improving ones design and adding new methods to it. The iPhone 4 High Resolution display (high enough that most people can't see the pixels) is an innovation. Sure we had High Res screens before, but to put it on a phone is a big deal.
Finding faster processors that use less power, finding better power storage, reducing space to put more of that power... There are a lot of things that goes on for these products and a lot of innovation that goes on to make their product competitive.
Started as a small time site. Got a hold of some good material Got a lot of press Became really popular but Made some enemies Time went on... Fame started to fade. Came up with a plan Faked some documents DDOS their own servers on release date Make people think it was the US government
If this guy had any morals he would have blanked out Names of the leaks to help protect the individuals. I was taught that in 8th grade. This guy is just making a point not for the fact of the point but just to put more attention to himself.
One man can make the decision. In real life it is often up to one person or a small group to decide if it is cool or not. It only takes some one with a force of presence to convince many people to change their way of thinking.
I don't think cost will be a major issue. Right now when you pay for a processor a small percentage goes into raw materials. Also you are using less of it too compared to modern methods.
What will happen this technology will come out. As a normal incremental upgrade and you probably wouldn't know that this technology is in the chip. They will just brand it with some name probably with a made up word and a number we will look at the specs if it is good enough some companies will buy it put it into their hardware and re-brand it again.
There are only few cities in the world that can get away with that thinking. New York, London, Paris, Chicago... Why can these cities work with high taxes on corporations. Very simple Supply and Demand. These major cities are places where businesses want to be as there are other businesses to work with and a large customer base, as well as a huge employee base to choose from and being able to pick the best of the best. Sure you are going to pay a lot for it but it is worth it. And the cities can charge a lot of taxes on these guys as they know that they will pay for it and not move out, as they can make so much more money there.
The smaller cities of the world doesn't have that advantage. Thus they if they don't they will be at a competitive disadvantage. 1. The company will move out of the area. 2. Laying off most of the employees. 3. Unemployed people need additional government services. 4. Government services get very expensive and cuts off funding to other services such a growth 5. Lack of growth services make the area unappealing to new businesses. And it just gets worse.
Trickle Down theory may not work but the inverse is just as bad if not worse.
Cities/Towns/States/Countries will need to bite the bullet and keep takes low for corporations to keep the area appealing for them to move in. As to bring in more Employed workers who needs less government services, pay taxes to allow the area to expand and grow. As other companies will start up to service the people in the area.
Sure it is not fair. But it is the smart thing to do. Unlike the poor the rich are in general. 1. More educated, as they know that if they are in a good or bad position. 2. Have resources to move away. There is a cost in moving, but the richer you are the easier it is. 3. Attract new "friends". If you are not interested someone else will.
For a municipality you have the following options. 1. Be a predator, but if you are you better have the strength to stand up and fight. 2. Be a parasite just feed off the company as long as you can 3. Be pray, You are owned by the company and you need to kiss its ass. 4. A symbiotic relationship where both sides have a mutual respect for each other.
You don't give them the answer they want, you give them the answer you think is right. Don't try to be part of the jury and don't try to get out. Just go there the day you are called answer all the questions truthfully. If they don't want you, your out. Otherwise you are in.
The achievements system is for the young who has the need to be seen as better then others, even if it is anonymous they can see that they are in the top 10% and say yea I am good at this.
As you get older you tend to have more confidence in yourself you are less likely to work hard for achievements as it doesn't have any real value. Hey you can be the top player in the game. I am OK with that. I have a good job, a stable happy family, a decent home, general respect from my peers. I am quite fine being #933,331 out of 1,000,000 in a game. That I may play every couple of weeks to unwind.
It isn't as much the job but the attitude of the person doing it. To some people Every Job is boring, mostly because they are slackers and are trying to find reasons not to work. For most of the population there are some jobs they like and jobs they don't and know that and willing to stick threw the parts they don't like as they can get back to the parts they like. Then you get the nuts who love EVERYTHING or they are just Ass Kissers.
Every Job has good and boring parts to it. They saying "If you find a job you love you will never work a day in your life." is false. There will be boring parts or parts that you will not enjoy for your job. However if you keep your mind open you will see there are often a lot of good parts too...
Even though I have been making applications over the network for decades, I still think it is cool when I make an initial connectivity test program where I type some stuff and I see it on on a different computer. Other people will be so what. While they are pointing out to me what I think is kinda dull and they think it is cool. You job is what you make of it. Try to find joy in your work vs. focusing on the negative. And perhaps IT people will be a bit less bitter... Unless they see it as a job perk.

Pretty much. If people know that small children will be allowed to go threw the cracks they will use them to get threw the cracks. If their morals are warped enough to think that killing a bunch of people who may or may not agree with their political/religious views. Just to make a point that most people already know, just because they have been warped to think that it will grant them good graces in the eyes of God or Alla. What makes you think they will draw the line for sending their small children... Hey it is Fast trip to God.
We have been using kids in warfare for thousands of years.
Sure the child may not understand what is going on. However we cannot bend the rules for children and make the rules stricter for adults. As it will invalidate the whole.
Now is it too late? Probably not for android phones. But the UI choppiness has been a real barrier to desktop performance and acceptance.
I know some people are touting this as proof that open source works (We saw a problem and we fixed it!). But the fact that Windows and OS X and many other lesser OS have fixed this problem years ago could also be used to show that Open Source is not quite as up on the times as you would like to think.
Really I thought it was accelerated by the left wing and those environmentalists who say that all new technology is bad and evil, and unwilling to see that life is about balance.
Or...
It could be that China is a country that has the highest population and its new free(er) market economy allows to better utilize its human capital and brain power. As well they are in a culture where when they are competing they will try to win at all costs even in spite of them selfs. While in the US we try hard to win but on a longer term.

Or...
1. They work for a Unionized employee base and the Boss needs a PI to fire the slacker. As they need real proof before they do any HR. I have worked for a lot of companies Big Ones little one, with higher management with the low men on the organization Unionized and Un-unionized and let me tell you this there is no attempt to keep the people down usually there are attempts to bring people up. However most people will not allow them to do things like a Raise and more Responsibility. So they stay at their same job doing what they did, and no raise. Union people tend to feel ultra entitled (being entitled is a bad thing) so they will more often abuse the system then just being honest.

The year of Linux on the desktop is the same year the the Desktop becomes irrelevant.
This isn't about the death of the Desktop, just as the Mainframe hasn't died yet either. It is a shift in usage.
The Mainframe was widely used across orgs including many smaller companies then the PC (and PC based servers) had slowly replaced them leaving the mainframe reserved to large companies who need the big horse power. A lot of mainframe companies have died or been merged and became less relevant Prime, Digital, leaving IBM and HP to control that market.
The PC will have a similar fate. It will loose the home market. and its job will be for more for jobs that take medium level number crunching (think excel sheets and basic DB stuff), and software development jobs.
Probably Dell and Lenovo or HP.

Pretty much. If people know that small children will be allowed to go threw the cracks they will use them to get threw the cracks. If their morals are warped enough to think that killing a bunch of people who may or may not agree with their political/religious views.

What makes you think they will draw the line for sending their small children... Hey it is Fast trip to God.

Probably not for android phones. But the UI choppiness has been a real barrier to desktop performance and acceptance.
I know some people are touting this as proof that open source works (We saw a problem and we fixed it!). But the fact that Windows and OS X and many other lesser OS have fixed this problem years ago could also be used to show that Open Source is not quite as up on the times as you would like to think.
Really I thought it was accelerated by the left wing and those environmentalists who say that all new technology is bad and evil, and unwilling to see that life is about balance.
Or...
It could be that China is a country that has the highest population and its new free(er) market economy allows to better utilize its human capital and brain power. As well they are in a culture where when they are competing they will try to win at all costs even in spite of them selfs. While in the US we try hard to win but on a longer term.
