And how many Russian and Chinese and Cuban dissidents do we take in for things like "child abuse" where the "abuse" is reading Capitalist literature???
Because if the Brits storm Ecuador's embassy, their own embassies hold no status not to be taken over to unlock the asylum granted people inside. Im sure there are some ugly countries that would love an excuse to knock down their local UK embassy.
But they cannot seem to GUARANTEE he will make it to said Swedish courtroom.
THAT is the telling thing. Sweden would not send an officer to claim him (and therefore put him into Swedish custody directly) they expect UK to put him on a plane and that plane to make it to Sweden.
Swedes claim there is "no paperwork" but seem awfully intent on him being on a UK plane. Where such paperwork will suddenly appear, but he will be unable to reach his Swedish lawyer to argue his case in SWEDISH court while he's bound and gagged to the USA.
A better example is that "no man dies without a will". If YOU don't make one OTHER PEOPLE's Lawyers will.
The same applies to software licenses. If you are not using LAWYERS to write a license before publishing, then your ignorant not to pick an OSI-approved license. The list is long enough to be useful, and the OSI approved licenses have enough establishment legally as "reasonable and customary" "industry standards" that there is LOTS of stuff written about the technicalities and interactions that real layers have done lots of work on.
Otherwise, you are just waiting to be a victim of some corporate lawyer hijacking your stuff.
In the 1970's there was no PROOF we were going to hold PRIVATE INDUSTRY accountable for nuclear safety and waste. Given the last few years of hits and flaws found, overall the engineers that said Nuclear power was safe have had time to be proved right. Even moreso if we would throw big money behind cutting edge reactors not designed to also produce weapons material.. Get rid of that Cold War mentality.
Since then the main problem is getting the government to follow through on the safe disposal plans. It's obvious that 3-4 BILLION people are going to be getting power plants this century and coal or oil fired plants are 75 years backwards.
The whole problem is that "law abiding citizens" isn't very great... Because the LAWS can be changed to make certain citizens automatically be breaking them. Look how quickly rules for previous lawbreakers change, like having to register as a sex offender decades after serving your time.
they hired somebody else to make changes to the website he originally built and that new developer changed the guys name on all the files. Technically the files belong to the company he did the work for, they paid for they can do what they want. it's more of a kick in the teeth that they scrubbed his name from the work as the original author. Arguing about if it's legal or not doesn't really change the fact the guy went to an interview to show his code he wrote and the original site had his name stripped make it look like he was plagiarizing his own work.
like another poster said, he should have checked how his previous work was being used "right now" before presenting it... if only to catch those little surprises like this that make HIM look like an ass an he really can't take that back now.
he presented the work he kept a copy of to show what he can do. That's entirely square. But the prospective employer went out to the site to verify. Which makes sense from their point to see that he's not just copying down somebody else's stuff. Your point is still valid, that he should have checked anyplace his code may have still been published to be sure they didn't change his name or make a complete mess of it so it didn't work.
you're supposed to put your name in the "revised by" along with your changes. That's how my company does their committing. the first guy that wrote it puts his name and stuff in the header. Anybody who makes changes puts their name in the "changed by" block.
Bingo. In the case of encrypted drives from YOUR computer, they have already established the physical device is under your control, now open the locked door in front of us... Open THIS locked door, we saw you open it once, please do it now.
The police knowing what's behind the door doesn't necessarily matter.. As the have proof you controlled access to that room at one time.
The state has a valid warrant, to compel him to open the locked box. That warrant allows the state to physically or electronically BREAK the locked box to get at what's inside. But the state HAS POSESSION of the locked box, therefore it is not "self incriminating" that he open it. It is already determined the drives are from a computer he possessed and controlled.
An example of self incriminating knowledge would be knowing where unreported dead bodies were burried. With the logic that if only you can know that you must have been guilty.
Decrypting the drives is not self incriminating because he was observed (through logs and such) going to that electronic "location" and loading or accessing files. He was observed "accessing" and is now told to step back and allow the police to see what he was doing. Putting a password lock is just obstruction at this point.
Most hardcover books are more like $20. An ebook sale CANABALIZES that extra $5 in the publishers pocket... It has to come from somewhere.
The bankers want 10% returned on their money to invest in the publisher... They got stockholders to please.. Stockholders that want profits in CASH this quarter, not pretend profits in the future.
So the first x units of an ebook need to directly count as sales of full price new hardcovers. That is why they cost do much. The secomdsry purpose is to give paper book sellers a chance to move their wares... They cannot do that without some kind of blackout period before an ebook hits "clearance sale" price.
In the new world there is no clearance sale price. Just like games on Steam, there is a minimum cost per unit they want, and a minimum they want for their products "Class"
Because the publishing cost of a $14 plain bestseller is about $3. The rest goes to the author, publisher and reseller. So a few dollars off is reasonable... Amazon selling $14 books for $3 was NOT reasonable.
It's insulting that people only think of the lowest cost, not the VALUE of something. Amazon was tying sales of ebooks to sales of paper books.. Then eating a big LOSS. That's not entirely legal when they do it to ALL the publishers on the FIRST day of release. That's an ILLEGAL MONOPOLY -making tactic. And it worked quite nicely for Amazon until Apple came along as the scapegoat for the publishers to get out from Amazon's thumb.
Of course the book publishers used Apple to do to Amazon what record labels used Amazon to do to Apple on music pricing.
As far as the LAW, you have to look at who is the bigger monopoly? 6-8 publishers trying to stop prices from falling, it ONE online, tax-free retailer dumping books from ALL THE PUBLISHERS on the market below cost.
The point is that if they spent money in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan... They could soak up lots of smart people but its not "trendy" and they won't put money into the system to MAKE trendy spots in Fly Over Country.
First Xbox was a terrible beast of a power hog... Like having an extra 1969's fridge. If it sipped power like Wii then this would make sense.
Second, Microsoft failed to move Office to.net CLR back in 2003, at the same time they moved all the Xbox (gen 1) tech to powerPC. It's to late now, office 97 formats still rule in companies and modern apps write against DATA FORMATS, we don't copy exe behavior anymore.
iPad really stole Microsoft's chance to push something truly NEW on companies. Microsoft has failed multiple time to get past Desktops and Laptops... The biggest enemy of all has reared its ugly head. NOBODY CARES!
Because they are journalists and finally get to pretend they think this is wrong... Because their corporate masters got a grudge against Obama and enough friends in Congress to prevent Obama from retaliating like Bush did..
And under Bush, they showed up to lock you In a room until the NSA completed the download themselves. There was no time allowed to "as the legal department" and no court would recoznize your right to appeal what letter?
This just shows Obama's DoJ is finally losing its teeth... And of course big companies can finally complain to Republicans that will pretend this never happened before now that the other team is using the same plays.
Correction, we don't LEGALLY KNOW what Bush' DOJ requested.. Because they claimed an order like this was a secret by itself and revealing the order was breaching national security.,
This is probably the routine data scoop that's been going on since '02.
The US travel experience isn't terrible. The problem is that its treated with crazy different rules than any other mass transit.
I have not had problems... BUT... I try to travel in comfortable clothes, and remember to empty metal items into my carry-on bag ahead of time, take off your belt before getting in line, untie your shoes do you don't slow things up, remember to pack the laptop and iPad do they easily unpack and repackage quickly, and keep cords wound up in a separate container, have all that ready the nite before you go to the airport and you will sail through the line!
It's the "Disney" approach. If you go to Disney, they break up the long lines with spaces, corridors, and choke points. Disney does this so it doesn't appear you are in a crazy long line for teacups. But it would work for security too.
Then you insert various detectors along the moving sidewalks and other places in the airport where "single file" lines naturally occur. The biggest thing is to have lots of "helper" agents in the middle looking with eyeballs.
The problem is that our airports were built like shopping malls, intended to be a destination to pickup/ drop off people and have dinner, etc. they have few "compartments" to their designs for the passenger spaces.
Way to oversell it... Just but the latest Nxt system and call it good. There is the new EV3 system due in July, but hey, Legos are Legos... The biggest cost is BRICKS not the electronics.
