It doesn't matter what his motivation was. The moment his bosses asked for the access and he refused he became a criminal, if in fact that is what happened.
Unless they fired him first, than after he was no longer an employee they remembered to ask for the passwords.
People (and companies) frequently 'forget' to do everything they ought to do before letting someone go.
Asians eat carbs with almost every meal (rice, noodles). They are thinner than us. End of story. You said it perfectly.... The all meat diets are trying to change the bodies metabolism into ketosis (look it up). I test LDL and HDL and Triglycerides all day at work (chemistry lab tech).... there is a connection between cholesterol and health, anyone who says otherwise is practicing bad science (or trying to sell a book, lol).
Unless PC chip makers require all binaries be signed to run, I'm really not a supporter of GPL3... I don't have a problem with Tivo trying to protect themselves on a hardware level. Making a product that can be easily modified to pirate movies would (possibly) put them on quite shaky ground legally.
Sounds like what they are doing is legal, but it seems to be a pretty crappy way to create 80 new jobs! Our natural resources are really not ours anymore (if they ever were). I think that to many people oil is more important than clean water.
FTFA: The refinery will still meet federal water pollution guidelines. But federal and state officials acknowledge this marks the first time in years that a company has been allowed to dump more toxic waste into Lake Michigan.
If my band records Amazing Grace, our performance (and any changes, like adding a bass solo) is copyrightable, this does not change the original work (it is still public domain). This prevents someone from stealing our performance (not that I'd care, the more people who hear us will result in more paying gigs!) or our derivative work!
I believe that in film a public domain film may have versions that are not in public domain. If for example a company colorized it or did a significant amount work removing the hiss from the audio track and/or cleaning up the video, their version can be copyrighted.
IANAL obviously (or I'd have used so much legalese that nobody would understand what the hell I'm talking about).
A judge's interpretation of the law becomes precident and is (generally) applied to cases that follow... (called case law I believe). So over time their rulings don't make law, but change how it is interpreted and applied.
-Alexandre Oliva has made me dislike the FSF a lot... (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=11823572851304 5&w=4) trying to bully Linus into GPL3 is lame, trying to trick him into GPL3+restrictions (which can apparently be removed by FSF, placing kernel under GPL3) is also lame...
-I now understand that GPL 2 is better than GPL 3 (in many cases) thanks to him, though....
-I'll always call Linux, Linux.
-Linus Torvalds does understand the GPL2 very well (I am very glad he's in charge of the kernel).
-The FSF is trying to restrict hardware and device manufacturer's freedoms in the name of freedom...
-Software licence should not try and dictate hardware (I'll only change my opinion if AMD, Intel, etc... release chips that only run 'signed' binaries).
If you have the endurance, the thread is pretty interesting. The spirit of the license vs. the actual wording argument gets old... I really only care about the legalese of the license, not it's moral intent. The headline could also read 'FSF fans annoy and badger Linus until he becomes (justifiably) frustrated!'
I didn't get the special Sony rootkit software they were offering, but I've had plenty of problems with their products and support (.. if it's still under warranty, why do I have to pay for repairs?)
I also have no plans to give Sony any money either, what's the opposite of a Sony fanboy?
I'm glad I didn't, I don't need someone strong-arming others for me. I copyright my own songs, work out my own arrangements, etc... Sure my band will (probably) be small-time forever that way, but I can still make a buck or two here and there. We usually give away 30% of our songs free (we plan on 40% for our upcoming album), not just the bad ones either. Many people have heard the free one's and purchased an album or T-shirt (either to support us, or they wanted the physical album and the other songs).
I don't want Sound eXtort trying to collect on us (via internet radio) either & try to make that plain on our site. <shameless self promotion> NOTE: the music probably isn't your cup of tea, but it's at http://beckament.net/music.html no banners or anything, I don't get a penny if you visit. </shameless self promotion>
I used to work at a digital studio (back when ADAT was new) and our bass player used to own an indie studio in Chicago, we're doing just fine all by ourselves. The benefit to us (by giving much of it away) is that if people have heard of us, we may get a few more paying gigs here-and-there.
Being in an all-original band is tough, but at least we own all our music! (I'm not a big fan of the $$ of studio time or when producers shit all over a good song either, but that's another rant.)
We know that humans have been polygynous throughout most of history because men are taller than women. That statement (from TFA) is just too bizarre.. even with the "facts" that they add in the next paragraph...

When somebody stole my guitar, I no longer had it in my possession (and I really miss that guitar).
When somebody makes my band's albums available online, I still have the originals. They have not been stolen from me.
And yes you can make the joke that they aren't worth stealing if you like...
You mean sex with a partner and not alone, right...?
Fuck You!!!!! You self-righteous piece of shit!!!
Mod me down into oblivion for that one!
Well... that's no reason for space rudeness.
*then then then... not than.... Oh preview, you have failed me once again!

You are probably correct, but can you order 5,000 of them for your country..?

I agree, also fear of getting caught is what keeps a lot of people from doing bad things. Not a good sense of morals/ethics.

I always thought of it as more of a chat room w/pictures than a game...

Oops, GPL3+restrictions - I meant GPL3+additional rights (I really am tired!)

I for one, welcome our CII patent, non-enforcing overlords...

While I hate to... I totally agree with you. RMS seems like kind of a nut anyway...

Even the international space station is more of a wonder than a 38m tall statue.
Will they run Linux?
