For some reason this story seems like I've already heard it a long ass time ago.
At any rate, the fact that Sony went so far as to implement a freaking HYPERVISOR to lock everyone but themselves out of the full capabilities of the hardware shows how much they support third party code.
That's only a problem for nitpicky bosses who look for reasons not to hire you.
And quite honestly, if an innocent mistake 'come learning opportunity in your past is enough to shut you out of a job opportunity, then chances are the boss in question is an asshole you don't want to work for anyway.
Stopping racism after the blacks have already suffered years of slavery is like an anti-trust injunction after Microsoft has already crippled Netscape's market share.
I've already had my personal information involuntarily published on the internet...by someone untouchable that knew I couldn't do a damn thing about it.
Whoever came up with the idea to classify it should be commended for devilishly twisted smarts.
Nice end run around the first amendment's "petition the government for a redress of grievances" there, making the subject of the complaint a federal offense to even discuss.
Since ACTA is classified, a note like that would probably be forwarded to the FBI to find out how the fuck one of their constituents got ahold of it in the first place.
I think there needs to be another Doe v. Ashcroft type case where someone sues over it anonymously.
The wonderful thing is that we live in a country where being rude to the government gets you no more punishment than a retort and possible loss of face among peers.
Recently I watched a video of Bush getting the living crap booed out of him at Obama's inauguration. I think it reflects badly on americans in general. However, seeing the booers not getting mowed down by tanks made me very proud to be an american.
As an issue of fact, the ownership of the UNIX copyrights is not very open for appeal unless something screwy happens.
Unfortunately, having the issue decided by twelve idiots who couldn't get out of jury duty, and who probably further got picked clean of any sanity during voir dire doesn't cut it.

Do you think that grownups in the workplace act any differently?
It's just called "office politics"
We are society of borg.
You will be bullied.
Resistance is futile.
Sadly the bullies probably know this...which is why they're not afraid to bully.

Especially since the true name of the type is actually std::string

Seems that merit never is the most important qualification for actually getting your butt behind the desk.
Simple.
Ability is a finite resource.
To put it in gaming terms, you only have so many XP to invest in your various stats and you can't buy everything up where you like it.
I'd say the government is at fault for allowing shoddy meters to get hooked up in the first place.
I thought utilities were supposed to be regulated.
You'd get better reduction in carbon footprint if you continue to drive and type at the same time really.
And however this happened, it's plausible that now China looks like it's throwing a tizzy at getting stood up to on censorship by Google.
Ok, now I know you're just a troll.
No more soup for you!
I would quite happily eat those consequences if I had any practical choice in the matter.
As it is I mitigate my environmental impact by using mass transit and riding a bicycle.
Stopping racism after the blacks have already suffered years of slavery is like an anti-trust injunction after Microsoft has already crippled Netscape's market share.
Or, to make it simpler.
Exploiting the earth is profitable when you don't have to eat the consequences you force on everyone.
Been there, feel your pain.

The spectrum is a public resource.
It makes perfect sense for the government to act as a steward over it.
The spectrum is to the FCC what the air and water are to the EPA.
I agree with you 100 percent.
I also realize that I can't do a fucking thing about it with special interests running the show.

The US is already bankrupt.
The national debt is too large to pay off.
Once the entire federal budget has to be devoted to interest, we're screwed.
Actually, it is the original Novell case.
The March 8th date was just the date the appeals system remand-booted it back down to the trial court level.

It is the final chapter however.
