Non-disclosure/non-competes still apply after you leave - more so when you're fired for cause. You *can* challenge them if you were terminated w/o cause, but that's not the case here.
No, they don't apply at all. Any non-compete clauses in a contract are invalidated by California law.
I blame both parties for the DMCA. I just find it amusing that people try to blame only the Democrats for the DMCA when it was a Republican-sponsored bill and had basically unanimous Republican support.
That's because the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of people want an OS pre-installed. Why would they cater to a miniscule minority over the people who make up 99.9% of their customer base?
Why do you blame Democrats for the DMCA? The bill was introduced into the House by a Republican, it faced pretty much zero Republican opposition in the House and had unanimous support in the Senate. Oh and let's not forget that the current head of the RIAA is a former Republican staffer and GOP lobbyist. So exactly why is it the Democrats fault despite the fact that this bill was introduced and had basically universal support from the Republicans in Congress?
Then it was meant to be cutting-edge for 1998, then cutting-edge for 2001, then cutting-edge for 2004, then cutting-edge for 2007. Unfortunately they couldn't ever actually make it cutting-edge for any year.
Sure I understand that you have a right to privacy, but if you aren't doing anything wrong, why do you care?
So you keep your house unlocked all the time so people can freely enter and leave all they want? You make sure that every all your windows are uncovered and you have no fences around your property so everyone can see in, right? You have all your phones tapped for any police organization who would want them? You make sure to forward all copies of your snail mail, emails, IMs, texts, etc to all relevant police organizations?
If you don't, why don't you? It's not like you have anything to hide, right?
You know, that's a very good point. the only way to NOT track somebody, IS TO TRACK THEM.
Except it's not a good point and what you said is not true. It's very simple to not track someone without knowing a single thing about them. By default you set up your system to not store any information about a user of your website unless you've obtained their consent. Wow, that was hard.
What you said and what the GP said are exactly the same. "Opt-out by default" means that by default it is assumed that you have opted-out of the service. This would mean that to be tracked you would have to opt-in for it.
You mean like how pretty much all of what they complained about was happening also under Dubya's reign in office and yet they only started complaining about these things once Obama got into office and continued the stupid policies of the previous administration?
Slashdot Mirror
That's because the rules against interpreted code are part of the SDK rules not the app approval guidelines.
Not when each of those versions has to go through another round of approval.
They disable javascript for google.com. It also means you get to do away with the new horrid image search page too.
and it seems that the staff is phoning it in.
And this is new, how? Slashdot "editors" have pretty much always sucked.
I thought pretty much any intelligent person realized that trickle-down economics (aka voodoo economics) was bullshit years ago.

Yes, but if you never do anything the hard way because the problems are "already solved" how exactly is one supposed to learn anything at all?

EA didn't do anything to them. GameStop is acting like a bunch of chickenshits by bowing down to some whiners.
Most gamers understand that what makes a game great isn't the polygon count, it's the gameplay.
But apparently 3DRealms didn't considering how many times they scrapped the game engine and redid the graphics.
You realise that they make money from tracking people so will do it to the extent allowed by law, right?
I do, but just because something is completely lawful doesn't make it ethical or a correct thing to do.
Exactly. Both sides are assholes which is why neither extreme should be the one holding power.
If the default behavior is to track everyone
Then you change it so that's NOT your default behavior. Wow, what a mind-blowing thing, right?

Yeah, it's hilarious to hear a Tea Bagger proclaiming that the government should "keep their hands off my Medicare".
So what will it be? Which desktop OSes, consoles, and/or mobile devices may see this game?
Windows, PS3 and 360.

"serious" (for lack of a better term) journalists
The better term is "opinion show hosts".
Speaking from personal experience?
So will that guy with the oldest preorder receipt for DNF actually get GameStop to honor it?
