No, no... I think he meant weary. After a couple of months of working on a simple inventory product that was built using Spring where spring added more confusion than clarity, I was very, very weary!
That might be right in the US, but in the UK you retain no rights whatsoever. If I can photograph you from a public place, I can do almost anything I like with that image, including publishing it for money.
I see a lot of posts here talking about 2 weeks notice or immediate exit, but in my last 2 roles, I've been on a 3 month notice period. In the last one, I was required to work that 3 months, and fortunately my new employer was still happy to hire me, knowing about this.
That isn't an uncommon notice period here in the UK these days, and I can't see how you'd have someone come in every day for 3 months with no access.
You have to hire people that you trust, otherwise they could be ripping you off at any time, not just on the way out the door.
The link mentions both patent and copyright infringement. Is that accurate?
I'm far more interested in alleged copyright violations in an open-source ecosystem than patent violations. What does it mean for other players trying to build on Java if you're going to get done for copyright infringement by doing so ?
I only see it as being bad for the seller. I've been contacted after a few auctions by people who had bid in the days before and told that they would have bid more if they'd known they were going to be outbid in the last seconds.
Now, if they really wanted the item, they should have put a higher limit originally - their loss. But I could have made more money had sniping not been possible.
In fairness, the fix is trivial. Auctions have an initial end time. From then, every bid extends the end time by 5 minutes, up to a maximum of 1 hour. Sniping dies instantly unless I'm missing something obvious.
You are in Britain. If you turn down the virtual strip search, you are not allowed to fly. How the hell you're supposed to get home if you're on the return leg of a journey is beyond me.
It's not just apple... My Sony PRS-505 ebook reader will only charge via USB when plugged into a computer. Other USB chargers that charge all of my other USB devices won't charge it at all.
The article talks about pullups and pulldowns all the time. I've read the article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull-up_resistor, but I still don't quite get what this means in the context...
What do they mean by "Hmm, Looks like we need to have two pull ups after all. We made a new version that now had either a pulldown or pullup on the D+ line"
The reason that ham in the UK is dying is because of the foundation licence. I'd just started studying for my licence when they brought that poxy thing in, and as a result I dropped out.
I am not able to schlepp about to a club. Most of my free time is between 1 and 4am and I wanted to study in my own time. I didn't want to sit in a club with a bunch of bores learning at other people's pace. I didn't want to have to spend 2 hours commuting to my nearest place.
I don't know if that's allowed in China, but in the UK people have been convicted under terrorism legislation for possession of documents that may be of use to a terrorist. In one case recently, someone was convicted for owning copies of the anarchists handbook. Not for making anything from it, just for having it.
Not sure what you're on about the iPod bit for, but yes, you can play a song purchased from iTunes on as many players as you like. As long as the player supports the format (which is an open, industry standard format) you can just drag and drop it to your player and play it.
Not at all. Even the private company that guides the police decisions (ACPO) has told them to cut this shit out. Acting this way _after_ ACPO told them to chill means you pretty much Get Paid
Uhm... Thanks... I've been reading Freakangels and hadn't bothered to actually find out any more about Warren Ellis, but now I'll go and pick some of his other stuff up:D
What alternatives are there? Please tell me how I can write a paid-for application for Android and sell it in all of the same countries as I can an iPhone app.

This is just brilliant - tells the whole story...

Dammit - you're 1 mod point short and I have none :(
I do that all the time. I fly BA or Easyjet :D

Maybe you mean 'most people in the USA'
Most of the rest of the civilised world has protection for employees.

Ah yes... The n900. Which OS is that running today again? It's so hard to keep up, between Nokia merging ideas with Intel and killing product lines.

That seems reasonable. So when are we off to Israel?

900-sq-ft ? That's freaking MASSIVE!
I'm in the market for a new pair of boots and could use a recommendation :D

Mod this AC up - the OP is a total retard and doesn't understand IP protections for games and gameplay.
Congratulations. I wish we could all have such a privileged life, but the sad fact is that for many of us, access to a decent library is a pipe dream.
