Your comment is ridiculous, yet moderated at +5 Insightful. If your computer can be owned through a web browser by opening a PDF, then your computer is insecure, this is the issue.
If you buy products from a company that does not release source code that is a different issue completely. Yes, a company can be providing governments with your information. No, it does not make it OK for the phone from that company to be exploitable the way iphone is.
Yes, excellent job. Now you just ran an app on your hand held computer that rooted it from a browser. Amazing work of the hackers aside, are you certain you now know for sure your phone is not spying on you and is not going to be used for something you do not want, like someone else using your connection for long distance calls or for spam or DDOS attacks or just a part of some cellular botnet?
Amazing job - someone rooting your phone through a PDF.
Do you think Apple will now Charge her with a DMCA violation of some sort? After all, the resistors they used didn't have any markers on them, doesn't that qualify as some sort of a DRM scheme?
To the lady that did the work: good job, resist any current attempts of being charged with any DMCA related offenses.
No, it's the difference between the letter of the idea and its spirit. The spirit of a contract like that would not include the admin hijacking any systems by removing property files and keeping them locked up from the owners of the system. Even if the letter of the contract says: only this person can be given the password, the spirit does not mean "and if you get fired and this person asks you for the password over the phone even if there are other people on line listening, you must keep it from them".
There is the letter and then there is the spirit of any paper. Anything can be turned and twisted. Would you want to take a contract with an unknown employer on a handshake on an off chance he is a very honest person and will pay you for your work?
The point is that it was very clear to Childs what was happening and he did what he did only because he chose to be and asshole about it, that's all, we all know it, he knows it.
I am not an ass because I don't steal other people's systems. I don't prevent owners of the systems to use them. I don't make a huge scene out of stupid technicalities because I follow the spirit of the contract, not the letter. Only assholes and lawyers follow the letter and not the spirit.
That's just a bunch of bullshit and technicalities. Have you actually SEEN his contract? Have you read it? Who signed the contract? What are the legalities around it?
Even if the contract absolutely states that there is only one person at all can get the passwords, if that person is on the phone with other people and telling you to say the password, that's it, it's that person's problem.
This guy is just an ass and I wouldn't want anybody like that 1000 miles anywhere close to my systems.
contract definitely doesn't tell you to remove all configuration files to all pieces of equipment, keep all copies on your laptop so that you're the only one who can restart anything, then once you're already dismissed to keep the passwords and configurations away from your former boss while he is explicitly telling you to give it up on the phone, no matter how many people are listening.
Well, the cops will be talking to my lawyer and then when we show that they had no reason for the arrest they'll be suffering some mild repercussions, while I'll be suing the PD for harassment and rights violations.
You on the other hand, are an asswipe, so you'll be cooperating and they'll be collecting 'evidence' on you based on everything you say and you just may spend an unreasonable amount of your useless time behind some metal bars, where you probably belong anyway, asshole.
Unless it's a friendly interrogation (hey did you ever see that guy in Dorm A who went missing last month?) keep your yapper shut and let your lawyer do the talking.
- buddy, stop giving stupid advices.
Don't talk to cops or any other 'agencies' ever about anything, you may get seriously hurt.
There is no such concept as 'friendly interrogation', what's wrong with you?
-Hey, did you ever see that guy in Dorm A who went missing last month?
The correct answer is: -Am I under arrest? No? Bye.
This is not about informing customers of costs, this is advertising a show with live music performance, if the performance is not life music, it's false advertising.
Well, many people who do not produce anything make a lot of money doing it anyway.
Basketball players. Hockey players. American football. Soccer. Tennis. Sprint runners. High Frequency Trade floor owners. Politicians. Various PHBs. Many people who supposedly do 'create' something as well, we have all seen programmers like that, it's not only managers who can be occupying space and taking in salary and not producing shit.
I bet a mid-range professional violin player does not make anywhere near the same money as a mid-range professional basketball player. That's because the paying audience is limited to the theater and I don't know what kind of advertising deals they get either, but it would be inconceivable. However they do produce something: an experience for the customer - patron.
So now if you go to a show expecting live music but instead you get pre-recorded computer music, isn't that similar to lip-synching and at least shouldn't that be reflected in the ticket prices and in the show description, because if you RTFA you'll find out that the customers apparently didn't even know that half of the orchestra was replaced with a (badly built - apparently it crashes too often) computer program.
So the ticket prices need to reflect this new reality, because otherwise it's only 'helping' the top management who get in more dough, that's about it.
There is only one thing about this that seems wrong, apparently customers who buy tickets are not aware that the music they are listening to is played by computers. The rest is usual RUR like nonsense.
Sarah Franklin, a talented 24-year-old violinist, joined a five-month North America tour for a revival of the musical "Camelot" with an orchestra of just four people.
"There was me on the violin, one cello, one French horn and a conductor with a computer," she said. The computer, using a software called Notion, played the rest of the semi-virtual orchestra.
Frequently the program crashed, abruptly leaving the three live musicians to play by themselves. But despite the glitches, most audience members were none the wiser, Franklin said.
"When people saw us down in the pit afterwards, they'd say, 'It sounded like there were so many more of you!'"
The musicians would wriggle out of the embarrassing situation by pretending that the rest of their colleagues had quickly left the theater.
"We got fed up with explaining and we didn't want to ruin it for them. They didn't need to know," Franklin said.
- This looks to me like false advertising. If people came to listen to live music they paid for the tickets accordingly. Maybe the musicians need to take a pay cut (I honestly don't know how much a violin player makes) but the bosses here seem to run a fake business. Maybe ticket prices also need to come down since the show is different.
True aficionados can immediately tell the difference between real and manufactured music.
- the difference would be not in the music notes, but in the vibrations of the air, unless the acoustics can repeat the same vibrations that actual instruments make. Then again, in the future the computers can control robots, who then could play actual instruments. Not like it didn't happen before.
Woodiel compares playing alongside a synthesizer to "making love with a corpse."
- a cheap one too, right ?:)
Even Smith readily concedes that today's virtual instruments cannot match live string players "by a long shot."
But advocates argue that axing salaried musicians in favor of a machine during today's economic uncertainty can extend the life of a flagging production, thereby saving many other jobs.
- how about informing the customers that this is happening and reducing the ticket prices accordingly? Also just maybe it is possible to retain human musicians at reduced dollar rates?
School systems have a right to require TI products at the high school level. Children do not have a right not to go to school.
- the entire idea of mandatory education and education boards and departments of education is screwed up, it produces too many robots and not enough thinking people and wastes too much time of time thinking people. It has got to go.
Unfortunately, most of the world media is either State-controlled, or owned by for-profit corporations
- you are correct in your thinking, only this distinction is very minor, almost insignificant. Any BIG news organization is either state controlled or privately ran, but there is no difference between being state controlled OR privately ran for any BIG news organization.
They all want access, they need money, they will make sure to step in line, to do propaganda whether willingly or not, they are doing it. A state can make or break any organization and when an organization gets the support to become a large organization, they don't want to be broken.
Never mind about the other guy in the thread talking about 'stabilizing the region'.
The reason to enter a war, any war is because wars are profitable.
What is US to do, after all USSR has collapsed and there is nowhere to drop all those bombs and there is no real reason to make more tanks or choppers or machine guns except for export to hot zones.
So the real reason is because there is enormous amount of money goes to military contractors and they need to keep it coming and politicians recycle more money from the military than from any other industry, and by 'recycle' I mean they get more money back in terms of their own contributions and bribes and reelection possibilities (so power).
EVERY president will get you into a war, there must ALWAYS be a war. WAR is the only real export from the USA at this point (well, war, Hollywood and subsidized junk food.)

I did better. I got my mother an Ubuntu box, set it so that it updates self and 3 years later I didn't touch it once myself.

Why don't you repeat what he did at your job, see how it works out for you.
