Then I was, at another point, asked if I could archive all incoming and outgoing mail. I made a half-hearted effort, and eventually reported back that it wasn't possible. It was an ugly time all around in those days. At least I kept my job after 90% of the employees were layed off.
Note that in certain industries, this is federal law. Financial houses, for example, must archive all communications.
The entire story (not facets of the same story) is told, in various parts, through anime TV series, manga, novels, OVAs and a quartet of PlayStation 2 games.
Picture the power company as Disney; the evil CEO as Eisner, and Pixar as Sully; much as Disney tries to force money out of people, but would wind up making so much more if they went back to basics, so the power company learns...
I never understood the whole transparent encryption thing. When would you consider the contents of the drive encrypted? When the thing was turned off? All the cops would have to do is get you away from the machine while it was on and they'd have free reign.
That's sort of the idea. It's transparent in that you're not necessarily typing in passwords, opening encrypted containers for your files, and so on.
If you want something not transparent, try, say, rubberhose.org; you have to retype the password every little while, or you get locked out of your own data. Different concept, different target.
Seconded. He who pays for it, gets to play with it. Period.
If this company is paying for, say, five email accounts with you, and called up to say 'what is the password for account j.foobar?' then your response should have been 'Oh, of course! The password is: gorblat.'
Period. It's their accounts, you don't know what they do with them, you don't want to know what they do with them, you don't need to know what they do with them, and so on.
The idea here is that they're not making money based on the fact that they're an adult entertainment store, they're making money on the fact that they look like Google.
Nobody buys Mad Magazine because they think it has the screenplay for the lastest movie; they buy it specifically for the fact that it's a parody. People wouldn't go to booble.com specifically to view the funny parody; they'd go because they think it's Google's next logical step.
To qualify as parody, the work has to 'stand on it's own merits.' 'Bored of the Rings' is a parody; nobody would possibly buy it thinking it's the next part of the saga.
No, Google's argument is that it's not a parody if you're actively and specifically using it to make money. Then, it's just a really funny trademark infringement.
Your problem, sir, is that you are a rational person working for a rational boss, who in turn works for a rational company.
When the company is NOT rational, REQUIRES 20 hours PER WEEK of UNPAID overtime, simply as a REQUIREMENT TO WORK, that's a problem. I apologize for the caps, but for quite a few unfortunates, it truly is that bad a situation; you takes it and you likes it, or you'll be replaced with somebody else.
No shit, eh? I half expected the voice over on the commercials to say something like 'and expected to receive no less than four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture....'
Depends on the system. You'll have your 'public defenders,' who's only job is to represent defendants; they tend to be under-experienced, over-worked, and generally want to get you through the system ASAP.
Then you have the 'all members of the bar must take X number of pro-bono cases, or a minimum of X hours, per year' system, which means that you're getting a (potentially) high-priced lawyer.
The evidence is, in this case, my understanding is, the Republicans seem to have information that the Dems say they got from a computer they shouldn't have gotten it from. Thus, an investigation to determine if the evidence is true, and if there's further evidence. Then, possibly, a trial.
When your momma comes into the police station, claiming Dean mugged her, what 'evidence' is there? Why, her word. That's enough, generally, to launch some sort of investigation, even if it's 'bullshit, Dean was in Minnesota last night.'
The Constitution guards against 'unreasonable search and seizure.' That, however, also implicitly acknowledges that there is *reasonable* search and seizure.
Considering that Thief2 ran on machines with far less power than the Xbox, don't go blaming the machine; blame the Engine. I don't recall the levels for Jedi Knight 2 being shrunk down any for the Xbox release.
Linux players still would be illegal, unless the maker has bought a license to use CSS from the DVD CCA, and is paying the appropriate royalties per distribution; I believe it's something like twenty bucks.
This is why the Xbox sells the DVD player separately; so that those of us with no intention of ever using it as a DVD player aren't paying the licensing fee for nothing.
Yes, but a garden variety PC is probably stalling due to accessing the disk, waiting for packets to come in, or the user sitting there not doing anything. They're not going to notice the difference between a P2-450 and a P4-4ghz.
If Intel had cancelled the Pentium Pro based on people whining about how it was different from the Pentium, and didn't stack up, where would the P3 be now?
So, I can assert that Howard Dean mugged my mom - do you believe me?
Weather or not I believed you is immaterial. I'd check and see where your mom lives, and see if Howie Dean has been in that area. I'd call up your Mom and ask her, 'did Howie Dean mug you recently?'
This is called an investigation. It's an attempt to discover EV-I-DENCE that can then be used to press charges.

That was well done.
Amen.
.hack does this.

It all makes sense now....
The movie made perfect sense; it just didn't spoon-feed the audience the way Hollywood generally does.
In my most humble opinion, of course.

He didn't say he put the name on his resume; he said they contacted the guy during a background check. Big difference.

My rule of thumb is that anything that's too suspicious to be a coincidence, is probably a coincidence.
Exactly right.
The trade-off, however, is what the bits themselves can do.
Is it faster to move 1 bit 32 times, or 32 bits once?
This is the rationale behind Serial ATA hard drives; it's faster to just blast the bits than to waste time syncing them to go in parallel.
Or, SCO wrote it themselves to garner sympathy; somebody will 'trace' it back to a Linux 'zealot' and SCO will look a bit better.
