To be honest, it shouldn't need to get to that stage, that is, if the company in question has a decent occupational health department, or is prepared to send an employee to see the company doctor (who actually has the power to do something).
The company I'm working for currently is a case in point - doesn't have an occupational health department, but does retain a doctor. The last 12 months have been an absolute nightmare for me, on a personal and health front, but my employer's attitude has been to try and help where possible, and they have, to the extent that I'm still a viable employee, with the end to the nightmare in sight.
Not necessarily. In the UK, any company that comes under the regulation of the Financial Services Authority has to abide by strict rules that control who has access to credit card information once it's in a computer system.
Having access to enter Credit Card information wouldn't automatically mean you could view or amend it. Not only that, but the information must be destroyed after a period of time (that being at the discretion of the business involved).
How about building into each tray in the fridge a weighing mechanism, that would give the total weight on that particular shelf. If the items have RFID tags in them, would it be possible to identify where they are in the fridge by triangulation? If so then it would be possible to keep track of each individual items weight based on when it's taken out and put back, and checking the difference in weight.
If you're the only person who ever uses the fridge, then I agree that this is overkill. But consider families where those who are not responsible for refilling the fridge are it's main users (i.e., the kids). Nothing more annoying than going to the fridge for a glass of cool juice, only to find there's only half an inch left in the bottom of the carton....
Interesting that you were still using 6.2 - at my last company their product ran on 6.2 because it was so stable. When I needed to add things or drivers to the kernel, I just packaged them up as additions to the RedHat kernel - took a bit of getting to know rpm, but was well worth it.
Unfortunately I may have made it all a little too easy to use and install, as they eventually made me redundant.
Given that, I've never been anywhere that just checked everyone's email. The person they check on has been doing other things that make the employer suspect something is up.
Humph, you obviously didn't work for my previous employer in the UK then. I only found out that one of the Directors was reading everyones email when he forwarded an email to me that I had sent to myself, containing financial details I needed to act on that day!
Even the MD didn't know he was doing this, and was most upset when she found out.
Of course, the response was to formally notify everyone that he was doing this.
I first came across the on fire message in the 2.0.35 kernel - it's in lp.c (obviously), and originally said 'lp0 on fire, eh?'. This is because the code tries to detect offline and paperout - anything else and it assumes the printer's on fire;-) After quickly checking the one in the 2.2.x version I notice they've removed the ', eh?' for some reason.
We got some amusing calls from users having it appear on the console of their servers from time to time. The Epson LX300 printers seem to fox lp.c somewhat.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Iain Banks other multi-threaded novel, Walking on Glass. It was the second Banks novel I read, after Consider.., and was blown away by it.
I've remained an avid Banks fan since, however, I have to admit to growing bored reading Whit (never finished it, you could see what was coming), and I've still yet to finish The Business, which I put down over 2 months ago, and haven't picked up again.

And to be honest, the amounts of money being demanded for use of the trademark (in Australia) are small change to the companies involved.
Would you like to see Micro$oft release a software product called Linux, just because Linus didn't retain the trademark on his own product?
And there's your answer.
Damn, on the days I have mod points I don't need 'em, and on the days I do I don't, erm...

Thanks for the link - Galeon 1.3.11a isn't vunerable either.
