Where are the mod points when I need them! I don't even bother watching political debates live because the debate questions tend to be a quick rehash of the things we hear on a daily basis.
Can we get some real discussion on the issues please?
I just watch the debates live due to the drinking game aspect. I entirely agree that we won't get anything useful from them.
Umm... where's the news? This website has been around for YEARS. The breaches aren't anything new and anyone that is affected should've been alerted per HIPAA.
Michigan follows the employment at will doctrine. Employers can terminate employment for any reason as they see fit, while workers retain the right to walk away from unsatisfactory working conditions. However, even with this model there is still the possibility of wrongful termination.
A number of workplaces are starting to develop and release Social Networking guidelines to restrict how employees are associating their personal social lives to their workplace's public image. If the school had a Social Networking clause in her contract or if similar information was covered or in a handbook provided at an orientation, then the school is within the bounds of employment law. Otherwise, they may be at risk for a lawsuit.
No, but it seems to be a Windows-only Eclipse plugin, which is kinda weird when designers all use Macs...
There are plenty of designers that do not use Macs. Just because some places are Mac-shops does not mean the entire industry exclusively uses Macs. Large enterprises tend to use Windows for central management of large infrastructures.
They are doing their best in a very tough industry.
It's very easy to work really hard, put your heart into a project, and then have it die with NOTHING to show for it.
Even the guy flipping burgers knows he's going to get paid even though not very much. These game devs will sometimes work on projects for years spending profits from old projects or savings on the hope that the new project will be worth the effort.
Great game studios go out of business all the time for lack of sales, poor marketing, or just bad luck.
You just described life. Everything we do is risk weighed against reward. Anyone with a job has worked on a project that has folded or not turned out how we had hoped; however, that does not give us the right to infringe on the doctrine of first sale.
What we can do is learn from past experiences to capitalize on positive results, and repeat them, while hedging against negative outcomes. The path the content industry in general has been following as of late is one of laziness and hubris. Increase the length of use or play while building in repeatability and users will be less likely to sell off content as they have not finished consuming to the full potential. RPG-based games tend to perform this function well as the side quests increase the length of play time while swapping between classes can change elements of game play even if the storyline does not change significantly. If you are unable to provide lasting value for consumers, your business model is flawed and unsustainable.
Except for the fact that they are the market leader. Name *ONE* mobile company doing better than Apple right now.
They've only sued over things they believe they own, and the courts have agreed with them. They aren't trying to stop HTC or Samsung from making their own products, but they *are* trying to stop them from making products that are too much a clone of Apple's products.
There are plenty of ways to make a multitouch phone and multitouch tablet. Apple chose their style. It's up to everyone else to choose their own as well.
And when we had higher defense spending before Clinton during the Cold War we created, trained, and funded Al Qaeda. So by the same logic if we have higher military spending we are just shooting ourselves in the foot further down the road.
Except if you looked at your pay stub or W-4 you would see that Medicare and Social Security were provisioned separately from the other Federal Taxes. The programs were also fairly self-sustaining until the politicians started to bleed them dry of extra funds to waste on more spending.
I think you have it a bit off. First of all I have to wonder if it is 1 GB up and down. If so this would so rock. Keeping the kids off the street and getting them on the internet? I doubt it.
1. The kids will be off the street streaming HD porn.
2. The new businesses this infrastructure upgrade may attract may need more interns
That won't accomplish anything. The proles will just change the channel to their "American Idol" or other similar drivel when they get bored. The American public is too apathetic about the political institution in this country to actual pay attention to what it does or to even have a hope of real change.
We're actually dealing with a bit of backlash from having this policy - on both sides of the issue at the same time!
I'll try to be as vague as possible to cover my butt - but basically someone who deals with Clients for their job was going to be let go. We wiped their phone, as standard policy. Not sure if they copied the data prior to leaving or if another employee helped them out, but they basically took contact information, pricing/quotes, certain client rates, etc etc and took that to help land another job with a competitor.
That can be classed as corporate espionage and could lead to criminal investigations. Most reputable companies (competitors in this scenario) would and should turn away any potential employee that offers to do what this person did. If your company were to bring up a lawsuit over lost sales, you'd like win.
Only for ordinary riff raff. The minister is excempt and shows contempt. If you do the same prepare to spend time in prison.
Exactly. The Inner-Party members complain about the hindrance. The Party members are trained to put up with it or they will be unpersoned. And no one cares about the proles because they cannot afford to fly anyways.

Okay that's fine, but why do all the hackers seem to live in Aachen (DE)?
If you read it again, it's from X location TO Aachen, Germany. Likely they have a honeypot there.

That will only work if you're driving in circles.
I thought that was why they started building roundabouts all over the place.
Per the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) the organizations that have breaches of information are in violation of HIPAA and are fined.

Maybe they should just strip down the F-22 fleet and make them unmanned. I bet they could do that for ~$100 million per plane.
But skynet activates once they cross the international date line.

Skype's interface just keeps getting more horrible and cluttered. Maybe MS will fix it ;)
With what, a ribbon?

Except that at the OS level Android has eclipsed iOS with 2x the marketshare in 1Q11.
As for phone manufacturers: Nokia (25%), Samsung (16%), and LG (5.6%) are all ahead of Apple (3.9%) in market share.
As for styling, there's only so much you can do with a rectangular design with rounded corners.
And for $399 you could get an even more power and versatile PC or laptop. Thanks for playing.
You have a release candidate. The official launch of RTM has been delayed.

Directly or indirectly, it may help.
Yeah we have similar at our work, only we deal with India instead :( Some of the workers understand the job and are excellent, others... not so much.
God bless America, where freedom is slavery, ignorance is knowledge and war is peace.
Wow. That just about sums up everything I feel about the USA right now. I think I just found my new sig.
That's close, but the actual quote from 1984 is:
"War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength."
Here's the vote list:

Republicans killed the bill my ass.

Jack PC + OnLive = Cheap gaming cafe?
Cheap.. until you get your bill from your ISP.
The US government is sufficiently large that there isn't a single entity which can be called "the government".
Exactly. Instead we have the Ministry of Love, the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Plenty, and the Ministry of Truth.
Because a guaranteed paycheck has a kind of allure that worrying about day to day payments from running a small business lacks.
