I'm listening to the audiobooks with my girl (Her first time with the story), and we're up to Winter's Heart. When the pontification starts I crank the play speed up to as fast as we can take it without feeling like we're listening to a rendition by the chipmunk's.
...kind of like a plumber or an electrician, except that they get paid better.
Apparently you haven't had to call a plumber or electrician lately. My last plumber bill was $450 and he was on site for 90 minutes. The electrician's bill was $280 and he was done and gone in 30 minutes.

I'm shocked that there are so many posts related to action that effect the pay for Congress. The $160K they get every year is nothing compared to the money they get from the businesses that present them with the ideas (and authorship) of bills like this.
Look at who is contributing the most campaign donations to the sponsors of this bill and you'll probably find out who really wants this passed into law.

So they promise to cut 15 percent of their VP's at some unspecified time in the future? Okay. When do you expect that they were they planning on doing this? They've already given pink slips (et. al) to the people who work.
If you are creating requirements to the level of detail needed to fully specify purge behavior of a cache database, you're never going to finish your requirements document.
You joke, but I used to work for a bank...Requirements documents were considered "In-Draft" until the dev cycle was done, and the code got tossed over the wall to the testers. Even then, they would usually change them even after the features had been released to prod.
It's because Sony wants to show everyone how the jailbreaking of their devices has put their customers in jeopardy of identity theft.
I can't believe that this big of an outage is anything other than a fulcrum to getting the feds to help strong-arm more people who have installed the jailbreak.
Your life must be very interesting. With the exception of my police detective neighbor, every time I interact with an officer I'm suspected of commiting a crime.
If they want to fire you because you won't work the extra hours for less, you can file for wrongful dismissal.
Most of the states in the union are At-Will work states. In those states only gov't jobs are required to build a case for termination. Everyone else just says "we don't need your skills anymore.
If the company doesn't give a reason for termination such a law suit would be dismissed out of hand almost every time.

The First Sale Doctrine is not just some piece of random legal logic. It was a rebuke to the sociopathic executives and marketers that had the ridiculous idea they could try to keep controlling and monetizing their products after they sold them.
You mean like Apple is doing with their portable devices, right?
I walked by a Redbox machine on Sunday night at 7pm in a suburb there were something like 25 waiting in line to rent their movie. I thought, "It's worse than at the bank".
This is exactly right. L.K. is trying to convince people that the census bureau needs to know race for medical reasons. He's obviously a researcher of some sort, and needs the gov't to provide data for the studies he's involved in.
However, in a real emergency situation the local governments would be the go-to guy to obtain racial demographics to be modeled into the CDC's plans.
I've boycotted Sony since the Rootkit incident as well. On general principle really, but the result of the lawsuit showed me that my decision was a good one.
I'm also boycotting any game with Starforce's "Brick my optical drive" copy protection.
Until the company fires the DBA for making a negative impact on the production release cycle, that is.
Hypothetically, I mean. I'm not saying that I'm a bitter DBA who has been fired for promoting detailed requirements, fixed release cycles, test plans, and change control. That was someone else.
You're right they'd be Fcuked if this thing every actually gets a trial.
What'll probably happen is that the greater portion of the image evidence will be suppressed under some claim that there is no way to determine where the image was taken.
Then, when there's only testimonial evidence the lawyers will cut a deal with the school system (and each other) to settle before going to trial.
I hope I'm wrong, but I'm a cynic.

It seems to be working.
I've tought my children to pronounce SyFy as "sif-fee" because it's not Sci-Fi anymore.

instead of a fascist country like the USA where all the government cares about is keeping their corporate benefactors happy.
I think you misunderstand the government of the USA...We aren't fascists, we're a (corporate) oligarchy. It's worse.

I thought everyone knew that they wanted to put reality TV and fantasy into their programming schedule. This was the reason they changed their name.
That's why I've taught my children to pronounce the new name as "sifee".

I recall that there was an article a few weeks ago about Bank of America buying up defamatory domain names.
Makes me wonder which exec's are at the top of the soon to be released list.
