I very much agree. You can even repurpose that hour and a half to make yourself available on a consulting basis to the old gig. You know they're going to be calling you anyway, so you might as well get paid for it. You'll be saving money and time on the commute, and padding your income a little. Helping the old shop through the post-you transitional phase is good karma, and the unburnt bridge may come in handy at some point in the future.
Bravo, that's the final word for EVERY legal advice question!
...Well, almost. If you're playing at the big boy's table you can get law created or changed in your favor, so tally up your lobbyists along with your lawyers.
Face it -- starting off with the "I'm a good little boy and I don't want to break any laws" attitude is pretty pathetic. The entire 20th-21st century copyright ecosystem is in place because of bold people who dared to dream that they could be richer if they got the laws written in their favor. It's gone way, way past just compensation to creators; it's just a legally enforced racket. I can understand compliance out of fear, but nobody's going to send armed BSA goons to audit your MAME cabinet, so going out of your way to play along is a little perverse.
(Maybe O.P. is some sort of submissive fetishist?)
Hey, your network, your rules... EFF is proposing a protocol tweak to use encryption without requiring authentication, for those who want that as an option. I don't think it's a terrible idea. The easiest implementation would just be to have the client software scan for a "password=" or some such in the SSID, and try that automatically. Legally, of course, that would probably be classified as "war driving" or whatever.
This allows your guests to sniff each other's traffic. The only way to prevent this with existing protocols is to use an easy password and name the network in an inviting, password-hinting way.
So real users out there, who happen to have the Bing toolbar installed and opted-in to tracking, searched for "mbzrxpgjys", "hiybbprqag", etc? That seems unlikely. Probably Google let Bing watch by intentionally performing these searches with the toolbar installed, or Bing is in fact googling in the background when can't find any hits on its own.
Good old 1980... what a civilized time to be a young man. In history class we learned about the Scopes Monkey Trial and all had a good laugh at our ancestors' backward ways...
So now, in addition to bearing the useless "story" tag, every story will be tagged "slashdot" as well? That's not good. Kill 'em both. I like the member-supplied hive mind tags, the auto tags are just clutter.
Other than that, I don't see anything to get my panties in a wad about... yet.
(p.s. It still takes way too long to preview a post though, nothing worse than before)
Leap? It's complete BS. Native apps are fine for things that require high-performance graphics (like games) or that need lower level integration with a device's sensors (like a camera app, a paint program, GPS stuff). For displaying text (sorry, "articles") and images, a browser-based experience is very much what I'd prefer, be it playboy or slashdot.
And "less secure"? Good lord what a reservoir of hogwash. I'll tell you what's less secure: Unnecessarily adding an additional piece of software on your machine that processes arbitrary content from the internet.
(okay, it's Friday night, enough slashdot -- I'm heading out to get a lapdance now... not particularly secure, I know, but then it does require low-level integration with my sensors...)
Well... "c" and "d" imply that he wasn't lying at all, and we know for a fact that all successful politicians lie, so I'll with "b" since the easiest lie to tell is the one that's rooted in truth. For better or worse, nobody keeps all their campaign promises. Though I do think he (and many others) saw the Democratic majority in the house and senate as somewhat of a free pass, underestimating the strength of the obstructors.
Even if "d" could be a little true, it certainly doesn't hold much water in this case. Hard to imagine that unifying media control under a small number of conglomerates is somehow keeping "terror" at bay.
Visitors being gang-raped by the whole town is extremely inhospitable. Just a stab in the dark, but maybe it's the betrayal of trust (you should be able to visit a town and walk down the street without fear of entitled assholes treating you like chattel) rather than the actual sex acts that ticked off Yahweh.
But is it the RIGHT SORT of regulation? Wouldn't it obviously be better to give each broadcaster a permit for a certain number of seconds of obnoxiously loud advertising per day, and then establish a market where these permits could be bought and sold?
It's pretty appalling that our police, courts, and jails are being used this way -- basically as a favor to the well-connected telecom oligopolies and their sleazy lobbyists. Sure, the law is the law -- but the corporations really ought to be footing the bill for this themselves. AT&T and Verizon should create and maintain their own police force and prisons.
He posted a public request for the woman to be murdered. He even suggested a specific weapon. How could he follow through any more than that -- start suggesting exact times and places?
I like the fact that it comes with a USB stick instead of the standard "recovery disc"...good call on that one, Apple.
This could well be a step towards using hardware dongles as the primary method of distributing MacOS on all platforms, even those with optical drives. Every Mac comes with a "restore" dongle, major upgrades like 10.7 are sold as an "install" dongle. For now it's a standard read-only flash drive, but the option is there to lock it down further to Apple hardware if it seems like it's worth it, just to stick it to the hackintosh crowd. (They'll still find a way, of course -- lots of folks don't even bother with the install disks, just clone an existing hard drive installation and go from there.)
Software will be distributed the app store of course, entertainment through the itunes store, and voila: Jobs will have freed his fans from the optical drives just as he freed them from floppies back in the 20th century. The biggest difference is that today Macs are very popular in video production, and these folks are already getting pretty annoyed that they can't buy a Mac Pro with a bluray burner.

Similar to how malware authors use Virustotal.
You're actually typing "http://www."? I don't think redtube's gonna work too well from Mosaic.
POE should be the standard... and that will stop those sneaky bastards from obsoleting ethernet jacks from our new fancy tablets and notebook PCs.

Some asshole said he was "open" but he was only open for business
I prefer the term "free as in for sale".

Any extension that's known to be installed on the sly should make the kill list in my opinion, but especially one that's causing crashes.

Quick note: it's free software, not necessarily Linux
In fact, it's a cracked version of Windows 2000 that Putin found on a torrent site.
Good list -- also needs items 2.5 and 3.5 for the speed and memory requirements of the decompression side.

In retaliation, Google can lower the Human Rights Campaign's pagerank.
I remember this, straight out of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Let me guess, "On Monday, the queen rode in the park..."
"Not you, the OP, or I" might be the safest construction.
It might be the safest if you're using a printing press and can only find one N. Try:

I think it was some sort of malformed acrostic abortion. (PAYPALL?)
