They can't compel me to do a damned thing. They can send me to prison until I give them the key. But that certainly won't win my co-operation with them. Have you ever heard the phrase 'Go to Hell'.
I doubt that it will fly up here in Canada. First, we pay a tax on all recordable media, so there is no such thing as piracy in Canada - unless you are downloading more than just music. Second, this is regulated by the CRTC, not the government. Third, someone tried this approach in the past and the court of appeals threw it out. So good luck to you MPAA.
Then you need to be far more attentive and dilligent at what you do.
Get off your ass, turn off the Simpsons, and do the job you get paid to do.
If you aren't willing to do the job you have, there are many others that will - and probably without the poor me whiny attitude.
Unfortunately this could also lead to compulsory sterilization for certain classes of people and risk groups(which has been tried before and failed miserably). Which is not only unethical, but it removes peoples right to choose their own lives destiny. How many people will wind up with this stigma because it won't work the way they hope it will.
There is no amount of accumulated data that will tell them which people are capable and willing to change their behavior so that they can be an integral part of society.
By the logic that it's not up to me to inspect a car purchase, that would be the dealership responsible for the fact of selling me an intact auto that is not made up of parts from a chop shop.
I'm not saying that it didn't cost them anything, look at all the egg on the face. It did indeed cost them something. But they would have looked a lot better had they caught it on their own, and then pulled the site down. Getting caught, that's never good. Aren't you supposed to audit projects like that to make certain that this type of thing doesn't happen?
I just don't think that volunteering to take your hand out of the cookie jar when someone catches you qualifies as doing anything to further the position they are in. It's just not the same as taking steps to assure us that this type of thing won't happen again.
I have to agree on the point that MS definetely needs to step up their level of due diligence. Then I also ask myself why you would do business with a company that has a history of this behaviour. Doesn't anyone track and record what these sub-contractors do?(or is that like tracking a shoddy plumber?)
Then MS did seem to get caught with the cookie jar again. When I was a child there were penalties for breaking rules. Come to think of it, there still are, unless you're a giant corporation it seems.
I'm sure the industry has probably made sizable contributions on the political front, exactly for this reason. Judging from the business practices in the past it sure won't stop anytime soon. It makes 'Payola' seem somewhat harmless. Of course that's just my $ 0.02.
Blanchard said that on her doctor's advice, she tried to have fun, including nights out at her local bar with friends and short getaways to sun destinations, as a way to forget her problems.
The bar sounds like silly advice, alcohol and anti-depression medication NEVER mix.
That's like saying that your best match is someone who drinks the same brand of beer that you do.
People are best matched with other people that they can get along with and talk to, we all know this. Just because the DNA profile is similar doesn't mean that they will enjoy the same things. It's life experiences and how we respond and come through them that make us what we are.
They would be better off saying that they will match you with people who have a similar upraising. Even that raises flags though. Matching two people based on addictive or abused pasts would usually not be good for their children.
Face it, we are far better off just finding our own mates and leaving the corporations out of it.
Corruption may indeed be so common as to be considered the norm. It should never be viewed with complacency. Here is a man with morals and ethics who is speaking out. I for one would hope that his actions will bring about some kind of change for the better.
The only given here is that it will be a long and hard fought battle on all fronts.
We have to be on guard for this behavior with computers, why are people surprised that it happens with mobile devices?
That brings one question to mind though. Do they not verify the applications that are put up on their store?
Shouldn't people continually check the privacy and security settings on anything that they do?
I know that I don't just set it once and then forget all about it. A certain level of discipline is needed whenever you are online.

the 486 dx4/120. I loved that processor.
They aren't banning it. Learn to read - and comprehend what you are reading.

That's funny and wrong I don't know where to begin...
Yes,here is an example of it gone wrong.

There isn't really a whole lot in the article about this. It would be nice if they told us how this could help, or how they hope it might help.
Can they identify these tumors with a simple blood test now or do they still have to do an invasive biopsy?
You guys do realize that there was a fellow named Tesla that did some really ground breaking work on this originally, right?
Finally, a translation app that just might be effective.

Just imagine the other inmates, 'So, what are you in for?'
They need to revoke his day passes and internet access at that hospital...
How do they know if the CO2 is from fossil fuels or from natural sources, is there actually a test for this?

Now how was he 'Offtopic', that was damned funny.
