Do not need to. It really is simple. The Lic that they got was for a specific spectrum to be used for low power transmissions from satellites. That was what they were sold. GPS Satellites use a similar low power part of the spectrum. LightSquared wants to put the transmitters on the ground at a much higher power. The effect is that GPS receivers are now left trying to filter out "noise" that is many orders of magnitude stronger than the signal itself. This is bad.
If Joe sells you an off road vehicle then you try to get it licensed to be street legal do not get pissed at Joe because it will not be allowed on the road. Radios are very complicated. Till I got my current job I had no idea how little I knew about them. Get education on the subject. They are attempting to use this spectrum in a way in which their current license specifically prohibits. Also it is prohibited for a very good reason. They are trying to change their license and it is that change that is causing the problems.
Not to worry. They will get it through. They have a friend in a very high place. It matters not what it will wreck only how much campaign cash it will generate.
So you are saying that now that the code is out there Symantec is going to use the community to fix the massive problems that will be revealed? I think that you are giving them too much credit.
You are saying (with a straight face) that having the source code that describes in detail how the software goes about removing viruses is of no use to the people who write them? Go to a doctor immediately and get checked out for massive brain tumors.
Wasn't there some study of a housing complex somewhere in Europe that had very high radon levels for decades. IIRC. The study actually showed a lower cancer rate than the norm.
They are not making NEARLY the money they should be off the "Hang in there" posters and cute kitten calendars due to rampant IP theft. Save the kitties! The pussies too.
It is important to me because decent people make a better world. I have no real power to force the world to be a better place. The power I do have is over myself and my actions. So I improve the world by being a better person. I think that if people concentrated more on making themselves better and less on trying to make everyone around them better we would all be much happier. Imagine the improvement in our lives if we just had less people telling us what car to drive and what products we have to buy. I am 42. I am usually happy and I do my best to remember what I have control of and am less likely to be happy when I forget that.:)
Part of being an adult is doing the right thing. Sometimes the right thing costs, sometimes it is inconvenient, but right is right. In your case it may be that the manager there was an ass. If he locks you out you are entitled to unemployment for that period of time and may well be able to collect for wrongful termination.
I understand that things are hard sometimes but I have found that when I make the right decisions things tend to work out somehow.
Fear of the uncertainty does not make a wrong action right. It only makes the wrong action somewhat understandable.
Systems Manager for a transportation company in Orange County. If it happens my work would be doing wrong. If I leave without notice I am doing wrong. Hope you understand that stuff your mother told you when you were young. "Two wrongs do not make a right." Also doing wrong because you think that wrong MIGHT be done to you at some point is really childish. Do not feel bad though. Many people today feel the same way you do and are in fact childish as well. Welcome to the 99%
I am not saying you have to love it. Just saying that the right thing is the right thing. Sounds like you are not really arguing with me. As just stated you said you would stick around and help them replace you. Before you said fuck em I am not even showing up to get my shit. Sounds like you are arguing with yourself. All I care about is that I am doing what I believe to be the right thing.
I would go back to work. Give notice. Work semi well till the time was up and leave. Though that may just be because I do not think that being a fucking bastard and abandoning my co workers and leaving them in the lurch is a moral decision. Although it would be nice if I could summon up the fuck everyone else its party time attitude you seem to enjoy. I do not expect to get laid off with zero notice. I do not expect my company to fuck me over. So I in turn do not fuck them over. To each his own though. Also I think I would work after a nice around the world vacation. Start up a company or two. I really would not want to have no responsibilities.
Just because we have small rocky planets in the habitable zone of our star does not mean that we know that it is common. Finding that the layout of our solar system is not "All that special" means that "Life as we know it" could be much more common as well.
You can completely disagree if you want. That does not make you correct. Free markets would work better with a little less government manipulation. Take the banking fiasco. FDIC! Federal insurance that says that if you put your money in the bank we guarantee that you are not going to lose it. Take away that insurance and people are going to behave differently. With it banks can not compete on safety. They can only compete on rates and free stuff. Is it surprising what we got? Without the FDIC banks could compete on safety of your money. Those that do not want safety can not have it. I am telling you right now that if there had been no insurance on my deposits at banks I would have been very knowledgeable about what they were doing with it. So would most of you. We would have created a market of safe banks. We instead created a market of risky banks. And We Still ARE! Enjoy.

We lost that before bankruptcy protections.
They abandoned film quite awhile back.
Apples track record is just this....
Without Steve at the helm they die out.
So. You are saying that ... "Nothing of value was lost"

What happens if what you are trying to destroy IS a sheet of radioactive glass?
Apple with Steve was a monster.
Apple booted Steve Apple played dead.
Apple brought Steve back for the win.
Steve died, Apple will soon.

Did you know that using the word "all" made your statement wrong?
Look closely at your signature.

Of course this makes it easier for them to state that having him there was a detriment to their company. :)
I still wish it had not been released.
