Auto insurance does not cover valuables stolen from a vehicle. That is supposed to be covered by home/property insurance.
Funny thing is, however, at least in my experience, that property insurance doesn't usually cover valuables stolen in a vehicle either, unless the vehicle was parked on your own property at the time... and to actually get valuables insurance for stuff that could be stolen from the car, you need to pay much higher premiums.
Only if the boss isn't looking at individual metrics to determine who to fire. If one person's metrics are substantially lower than everybody else's, then that person can and usually will be let go.
If all your coworkers are doing this, and you are on a team of more than 3 people, then you will actually be benefitting yourself the most if you *DON'T* do this, because since the tickets are usually assigned randomly, if you don't try to game the system, then you lower the chance for everybody else getting an easy ticket relative to what they would if you were to play along with their system, while you simultaneously get the occasional easy ticket with no extra effort. The result will be, in general, that your numbers are better than those of your coworkers who may have previously depending on a certain number of easy tickets per day to keep their numbers up.
Unless you are the only support person, then your friends have as much chance of getting you as anybody else, and your friends would only be helping other peoples' metrics and not yours. In fact, if everybody on the tech team isn't doing this, you would probably be harming yourself more than helping, since fewer of your friends' calls getting to you means more of the calls that aren't from your friends getting to you.
Imagine for a moment a room where between six to ten people have one of these. Someone snaps a photo, and one goes off. The flash sets off another, which in turn sets of others, and so on, eventually retriggering the first one.
While arguably an interesting light show, I don't think that's an intended behavior.
I would suggest that people not being able to hear the program playing at all while in another room and suddenly hearing a commercial blaring constitutes more than just a perceived loudness difference.
No... at least not always. In my own experience, for most of the shows that I watch, I am always having to turn the volume down when commercials start because the volume difference is very significant between it and the program I was watching. This may be just a consequence of some of the shows that I watch having low recording levels, rather than a direct result of the station making the commercial louder, but it's still a distinct volume difference.
Posting information about her online most certainly adversely affects her privacy, no matter what argument you attempt to present. It is prima facie divulging of private details.
So is talking about her to anybody else. Are you suggesting that he should be forbidden from doing that as well? If not, why not? What is the difference between telling other people and blogging? What if he wrote a book and published it? Would that constitute a breach of the restraining order as well?
Bear in mind that I have absolutely no sympathy for the guy on the point that he deliberately communicated with this girl's friends and family... I only defend his right to speak his mind to others.
I seem to remember issues with FreeCAD and OpenCASCADE. There were about half a dozen or so others.... I don't recall the names of any of the others offhand.
The only way to truly eliminate slavery is to eliminate not only all forms of human prejudice and the desire that some people have to manipulate others, but also *ALL* forms of debt as well, since taking on debt is a form of voluntarily becoming a slave for whatever duration that it takes to repay the debt.
NDA's are an agreed trade... you agree not to disclose information in exchange for some benefit (such as a job, or whatever). They do not limit your free speech because you consent to those terms, and you are free to refuse to consent to those terms, but then you may not receive the benefit. Freedom of speech is not curtailed by NDA's one iota because of their voluntary nature.
Afaics, the law has absolutely no authority to tell somebody that they aren't allowed to talk to anybody else about their relationship with someone.
Of course, the guy was being a complete idiot sending links to his blog to the girl's friends and family... that communication would definitely constitute harassment and I think it's quite reasonable that he should be punished for that act. I do, however, think that limiting his rights to express his own views on a forum of his own choosing and in the manner he so wishes, to the extent that he does not willfully communicate anything to people who are directly affiliated with the girl, is going more than a little too far. I would liken it in severity to cutting out a person's tongue for being caught telling a lie while under oath in court.
It is multilib capable, but multilib is still an unsupported extension.
No where have i ever seen a "use at your own risk, this can break 64bit apps"
It doesn't break any standard slackware apps, but it can break some slackbuilds... For what it's worth, I've even seen this happen several times. Their official response on the matter when I sought technical help about it was that multilib is not supported by the slackbuild process, and the recommendation was to not use multilib if I wanted to have reliable slackbuilds.
Yes... they will work... most of the time in fact. But when they don't, there is absolutely no support offered.
I had thought about doing a 32bit chroot on a 64-bit system before, but am unsure how I would properly connect the 32-bit system to the 64-bit one for X apps. You've described basically what needs to be done, but I would really need a considerably more detailed step-by-step explanation. I didn't have much luck finding one the last time I gave this any thought.
It's really just as annoying as hell that Adobe has evidently stopped supporting Acrobat for Linux after v9... but oh well... what can you do, right?
I would have thought the answer was obvious... because I have PDF's that utilize the feature for customizing what features of the document that one wishes to print. It is most practical for maps, but has a few other applications as well.
Of course... but on slackware, multilib is an unsupported extension, and slackbuilds are not guaranteed to compile or install correctly on systems that have multilib installed.
Adobe Acrobat still has no port for 64-bit Linux. At the rate things are going, I'm becoming skeptical they ever will.
And while I know there are plenty of other PDF readers out there, there aren't any other than Acrobat that support layers that can be turned on or off at runtime (which have been supported by Adobe Acrobat since, I believe, v6 or so).
Talking about her to other people should not constitute adversely affecting her privacy. He crossed the line when he deliberately communicated the information to her friends and family, but not by simply writing about her in the first place, and I believe that the court has overstepped its authority in ordering him to never write about her online again.
NDA's are something you sign so that you can receive a benefit that you would not otherwise get, and you are free to refuse to sign one without any legal consequence. That's somewhat different from a restraining order, where the restrained person has no choice in the matter unless they are willing to also go to jail.
"the judge said the ex-girlfriend's 'right to be free from harassment' outweighed the guy's 'right to free speech.' "
I would agree that this is true, but only to the extent that the speech is actually part of a harassing communication, such as being sent to the girl's friends or family.
If, however, he is simply speaking about his own experiences on his own website, and does not bother the girl's friends or family with invitations to read it, then I can see absolutely no compelling reason why he should be denied the right to express his opinions on whomever he desires to talk about.
Of course it happens... all the time. You probably just don't notice it because those people don't bug you.
Although I agree, it is annoying when people talk louder than necessary into their cell phones... I suspect it is a similar phenomenon to people who speak louder when they are wearing music headphones. You can eventually learn that it's not necessary.
Sure... but the lack of alternatives to driving does not affect the punishment, except to the extent that driving is seen as essential... but the imperative to drive is just one cause for lax punishment, not an effect of it.
... And I find that at least half the time, I can mentally retrieve whatever it was I was thinking of by going to the last spot I was in where I am certain I remembered it or was thinking about it, and then physically going through the motions of whatever it was that I was doing there last time, be it sitting down, walking in a particular direction, or what have you.
It's a very weird phenomenon... like deja-vu in reverse.
My point being that you can disprove the existence of something, as long as the assumptions you've made about being able to detect it in the first place are valid. The teapot example is a bit stretched because it's got little to no bearing on reality (magically disappearing whenever you try to detect it, for instance), but with the Higgs, they really do know roughly where they need to look to find it, and if they end up exhausting that range without finding it, they will have disproved the existence of that particular type of particle. That doesn't mean that there aren't other undiscovered particles outside of that range... just not ones with all of the properties that Higgs is attributed to have.
I think that the point is that they advertised the OtherOS feature *BEFORE* they removed it... and then they removed it, effectively making a form of bait-and-switch for people who had already bought one with the expectation of that capability.
In terms of noise level, what is the difference between somebody talking normally on a cell phone and somebody talking to somebody else sitting with them?
"Driving is considered essential because there aren't many alternatives, because not many people use them..."
I could agree with what you were saying right up to this point with no problem...
"...because we don't adequately punish bad driving..."
But there you lost me. How is it that not punishing bad driving causes people to not use alternatives?
I don't dispute that driving being essential, the lack of alternatives and not many people using them is likely a self-reinforcing loop, and relaxed punishment for bad driving may be dependent on all of that to no small extent, but I don't see any of those being even partially dependent on how harshly (or not) bad driving is punished.

Of course I did... and he definitely crossed the line in that regard.
What I think is absurd is that the punishment is extending to restrict his freedom of speech where it would *NOT* constitute harrassment.
Ordering him not to ever write on the internet about her again is, afaics, equivalent to telling him to not talk to ANYONE about her.
