People should assume that with any means of communication they use in the workplace. There is no guarantee and should be no expectation of privacy when using an employer's systems.
Depends on what you mean by "expect".
I don't "expect" people to behave decently in any predictive sense, but I "expect" people to behave decently, as in I think that they should do so.
Makes you wish for the good old days, when people didn't defer marriage because the social costs of doing so were overwhelmingly high, and divorce rates were low because they were hard to get...
You mean, the good old days when families actually were more stable, and tended to be happier?
No, don't throw me in the brier patch! Anything but that!
Wow, if only there were some kind of organized system of, say, i don't know, governance for ensuring that under-represented members of our communities get equal access to economic resources? Like a set of written guidelines or maybe rules that all members of a community need to abide by...
We can start with "equal access" to Al Gore's energy-guzzling mansion. And Obama's many vacation spots.
What's that, no? Why not? Is some inequality more equal than others?
Wouldn't that be a more interesting study? What do researchers make of those who do not want their every bowell movement be globally shared make of them? Do they simply label such people as social parranahs who are trying to hide illicit activity or do they factor in sincere the sincere desires to preserve a human being's privacy?
Or who maybe just aren't interested? Or who maybe (gasp) don't even use Twitter?
That's a fair point. I don't recall ever hearing of any cowboy movies featuring plagues or epidemics as part of the movie even if individuals became sick.
I"m pretty sure that Westerns like Big Valley featured epidemics at some point.
We might as well, in other words, say that our universe is a blender inside a giant appliance store, a stageplay inside a giant theatre district, a mildewing blow tickler inside a giant hoarder's garage mess, or anything else bearing the one of the rough relationships signal:carrier, content:form, fragment:whole, instance:structure, etc.
You had me at "blow tickler", because I don't know what it is but it sounds naughty.
How do they stop it spoiling ? Bacteria need 3 things to grow: moisture, time and nutrients (something to digest to provide energy). The article says that they keep it moist and try hard to remove oxygen, but things like Anaerobic bacteria don't need oxygen. They make it slighly acidic which might help, but too acidic and it will damage soldiers' teeth. The other way of stopping things growing in it is to remove nutritional content -- which is presumably the reason that soliders need to eat it. Hmmmm.
Well, maybe you could irradiate it and kill all the bacteria. Just speculating.
Be careful with that link, you may just learn something....
Especially if you remove the oil producing countries (they burn a lot as a side effect of providing oil to the other countries, and have low populations..).
The third world (and in fact second world) produce small amounts per capita, or are you going to argue against per capita, so we can all laugh at you?
'cause that's the important thing, who we can laugh at.
In the meantime, how is one billion more that we don't have anyway going to help?
Rand Paul's lawsuit is nothing but grandstanding -- similar to the conservative all-talk-no-results Republicans have been feeding their constituents for the past half-century, but this time it's libertarian all-talk-no-results.
I like how your response totally skirts the fact that Barack Obama is responsible for everything that the executive branch has done for more than half a decade. Every time Slashdotters rant about the NSA, they are really ranting about He Who Must Not Be Named (or Blamed).
But it's so much more fashionable to blame the wascally wepubwicans for everything.

... because that's the way to retain good employees, spy on them.
If a sender continues to send you email after you tried to unsubscribe from their messages, new messages from this sender will go directly to Spam.
But what if the sender is, e.g., MailChimp? Will this blacklist MailChimp?
Many companies use a third party to send their newsletters.
So you mean, there will be give and take, ebb and flow ... kind of like now?

TV has revolutionized learning. It just wasn't a particularly beneficial revolution.
Badum ching!
And sadly true.
Since some people can pay for better houses, should we prohibit such houses because it gives them an unfair advantage?
Well, that's the general "inequality" idea ... I agree that it makes no sense. But everyone from the president on down seems to believe it
'because a world with universal access and 100 times faster internet could mean 100 times the learning.'
Yeah, uh, no.
There are so many wrong assumptions there I don't even know where to start.
BTW, I'm still waiting for TV to revolutionize learning like was promised ...

I'm so sad that they won't be able to analyze me.
I demand that Scrooge McDuck release all the grain that he has hoarded in his Money Bin, right now!
Great! Now the students will have some training for the jobs they'll end up in anyway after graduating with a psych degree.
Simply awesome. My hat is off to you, sir.

The Silicon Spotted Fever Epidemic of 2017 is gonna be a bear ...

According to this theory, some highly advanced computer programmer of the future has devised this simulation, and we are unknowingly part of it.
Wouldn't he have to be a computer programmer of the present, if he wrote this simulation and we're in it RIGHT NOW?
-jcr
No, because that's not nearly as awesome as THE FUTURE(tm)!
I look forward to the comments about how this could be exploited ... very interesting idea, though.

Or you are poor in America, working 3 part-time minimum jobs 60+h a week just to pay for food and housing with nothing left over at end of the week.
Wow, you really that's the typical life of American poor, don't you?
May I invite you to the local supermarket to observe "check day" ...
It's supposed to be fantasy. I honestly enjoy cartoonish characters much more.
So you propose that we should not jail people for assault and rape?
Personally, I think assault and rape are vile. But that's me.
... how will we know who to mock? And for what?
I'm sure a fair percentage of Slashdot readers would like nothing more than a nice quite room, limted exercise and regular meals.
Except for the quiet, you can get that for free in prison.
And in the case of the United States one needs to be a millionaire to have competent legal aid.
Everyone loves to say that, but in reality petty criminals - poor criminals - get it really easy in the United States.
That's how they are able to pile up these long rap sheets in the first place. Assault, rape, robbery - and they just keep getting released to do more.
