Legally? Probably fire him. Probably pursue some civil action for breach of contract (I'm sure there's something in there for proprietary information).
Of course, I am not a lawyer, but I like to pretend I'm on on Slashdot.
...I loved my GS500. Though I do agree that this app has fairly limited practical application, I still think it'd be fun to see some of the data - more as a curiosity than anything else.
I can completely understand why somebody would ride without a helmet as well. As far as I'm concerned, they should be 100% entitled to do so. However this isn't about beliefs - it's about facts. There are concrete observations that clearly show reduced risk of injury and death when wearing a helmet. If somebody chooses not to wear a helmet and accepts those risks... well fine. If somebody *believes* in not wearing a helmet though... Well, they're a moron.
Those riders are out there and they get no pity from me - hopefully they grow up or thin themselves out of the population before they hurt anybody. However, when a huge percentage of cars simply don't see us when they merge into us or turn left in front of us - we get quite wary of cars on the road. "Sorry, didn't see ya there" is a poor enough excuse for a fender bender with another car, but it can be fatal for a motorcycle.
Pretty sure you won't find that study because it doesn't exist. *Some* riders will take what they've learned in class to ride more aggressively on the street, but most track riders do their aggressive riding on the track.
There are grants and all out there...those students just need to work harder, value and education more and compete for them a little better than those other kids that were born to a bit more privilege.
I'm not sure if I'm interpreting this quite right... A person who was born without the privilege of well-off parents should *not* have to to work harder than one who was for access to grants and scholarships. I'm assuming you meant they would need to work harder for a college education itself which is certainly true. I think a point where a lot of middle and high schools are failing is showing children of lower income (or simply bad) parents a path to improve their lives through education. Middle class kids generally learn this at home from their educated parents and then it's up to them to apply themselves. Many lower class kids don't have somebody there to show what they can do with their lives and a path to get there.
Not having the means to pay for your kids to go to college isn't short sighted and bad parenting - sometimes it's just your income. I don't disagree that parents need to be involved, there are all sorts of middle class kids going to school on grants and scholarships that they don't need. Unfortunately, there are also all sorts of kids who don't have those middle class parents but still have the drive to succeed in life. You don't want a society that condemns a kid to be stuck in the lower class just because they have poor (or simply bad) parents.
We get sample ballots mailed mailed to us out here that have all of the candidates on them as well as any regional or state ballot questions (similar to the California propositions we hear so much about but way *way* less ridiculous). Most people research before hand and just bring their sample ballots in with them. Is this not the case in other areas?
My god, commercial breaks were so overwhelmingly political and retardedly negative. During Jeapordy the other day, every commercial except one was an actress supporting Romney (gee, wonder who they're pandering to...). The one exception was for the senate race - a race I deliberately avoided both main candidates specifically because they are both putting out so many negative campaign ads. Poor characters all around.
God I hate elections. The one bright side is the place I voted early at had no line and friendly staff!
And as long as we keep deluding ourselves by thinking it's the *other* guy who is funneling taxpayer money into the hands of his buddies, we'll never change a damn thing. They each have their pet projects they're spending our money on, and they get away with it by getting us all up in arms about what the other guy is doing - blinding us to the fact that they are doing the same damn thing.
Which is why we really need to wait and see what caused the fires. Everybody's assuming the batteries are at fault - which isn't a bat assumption - but at the moment we simply don't know. There's another group of the same cars right next to the group that burned which aren't melted gobs of goo. So, it could be a design flaw in all the battery packs, or it could be a defect in a single car. Fact is we dimply don't know right now.
One more addendum - if all you want is power, you can do it without making a massive reservoir behind a dam. By far dams are built for irrigation and flood control, hydroelectric power is a side effect.

Case in point: The twisted mind of Mcgrew!
I mean, I thought I was pretty twisted, but to make an analogy of a computer as billions of beads and wires? Far out, man! I dig it.

Man, I'm sober and didn't even experience it, but I'm trippin out at the mere *thought* of this!

He sees "App helps you ride faster" and draws conclusions from there.
My belief system is based in judging and disrespecting others, you insensitive clod!

No no - I'm using this new Facebook app that ties anonymous cowards to real slashdot accounts and he *definitely* said the iPad Mini wouldn't sell.

I would, if I watched enough TV to justify it. Plus, it's more fun to complain about commercials than fast forward through them...
Nah, my girlfriend... I only watch it for the commercials which sucked this year!
Good that people are getting out... Bad that most of them are just here to vote against "the other guy"

Because the educated people only vote for Romney or Obama anyway... Oh wait...

Right - but hydro storage systems aren't for power generation, and their reservoirs pale in comparison to those used to manage the water supply

God I hope your sig was up before this article came out....
