Linus Torvalds has exclusive rights to his name and appearence. He has copyright on the code he creates. They call him a user but if he didn't sign up for the service then they don't have any kind of relationship. He didn't agree they could take a 5% cut of tips made to him. He didn't agree they can collect tips on his behalf. Do they have a licence to make profits off tipping Linux? Is that in GPL? If they were a non profit or a charity then it would not matter as much.
If Tip4Commit is taking a cut then they should be sued. Reminds me of those sketchy sites that collected money on behalf of wecomic artists. Artists never collected money on those sites as well. I would not be surprised if it was the same people doing the same scam.
Is Amazon buying up studios to create it's launch games? Do they have parterships with EA, Ubisoft to port the big third party games? Or are they expecting people to buy the console and wait for games to come.
Chad Dixon was recently sentenced to eight months in prison for teaching federal job applicants how to beat a lie detector test.
Dixon pleaded guilty last year to wire fraud and obstructing a government proceeding with his anti-polygraph business, reported the Star Tribune.

wire fraud just means using a telephone to conduct fraud. It is needed to give federal jurisdiction for the crime. Otherwise state law would apply.
The crime of obstruction of justice, in United States jurisdictions, refers to the crime of interfering with the work of police, investigators, regulatory agencies, prosecutors, or other (usually government) officials.
I'm sure it is illegal to lie in these job interviews. If he knowingling helps job applicants lie then he is an accessory to that crime.
accessory: someone who gives assistance to the perpetrator of a crime, without directly committing it, sometimes without being present.
And Kentucky in particular is in the middle of the country. Most of its residents will to travel to places like Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, or maybe even someplace exotic like Florida. Most people in Kentucky take Spanish in high school. They choose Spanish because it is sometimes spoken in Kentucky.
The issue was the woman was requesting state assistance as a single mother. Instead of getting that assistence she gets child support from the father. If she gives the money to him she has nothing to raise the kid with. In a fair world she would get child support from her ex wife. Her ex wife could step in and pay the donor back. Or the ex wife could provide enough assistance that state doesn't get involved.
They don't attack the scholar. They don't say anything negative about Princeton or or even name the authors. Facebook doesn't believe Princeton is going to lose students. That isn't thier argument. The example is used to show the logic is flawed. They attact the logic made in the argument. That isn't Ad Hominem at all.
It works well if they co-locate the buisness people with the programmers during initial development. It is wonderfull just being able to stand up and ask a question about the requirements. The stuffy meeting room occurs sometimes. It can be really depressing. We have given official names to all the confernce rooms. Most are named after planets and stars. We have a room whose official nickname is "shawshank". Also called "the closet". It is a tiny room with 1 door, 0 windows, and 10+ peolple in it. I think it was originally a room that stored filing cabenets.
It depends on what you base your ethics around. You have options. 1) There is a universal right/wrong dictated by God. 2) What is good for humanity as a whole is right. 3) What is good for me personally is right. 4) What is good for intelligent life is right. 5) What is natural is right. 6) What feels good is right. 7)Nothing is right/wrong If you don't decide what your ethics are based on then how can you decide what is logical???? If you believe #2 then killing dolphins is ok. If you believe #1 then you should check scripture about your diet. If you believe #4 then you need to create a line somewhere. Maybe dolphins is that line.
Murder is when an animal kills another animal in its own pack\herd\group. Killing food has never been considered murder in most cultures. Killing foods is a positive outcome for most packs of animals. Killing members of the pack can have a negitive outcome for the group. The ethics are based on the impact on the group.
But then they have a habit of employing smart young non-techies and then putting them in technical positions
They were one of the few companies that hired people with no experience and trained them on the job. Not sure what you talking about cult work practices. From what I saw people would eventually leave the company after a few years to get a better salary.
Of course it could just be a mix of open source and closed source similer to google. The OS is open but the email, phone, and chat services are closed source. With strict goverment control of apps on the market.
He wasn't jailed for refusing to reveal the password. He was jailed for his part in a bomb attack. Once in prison you can get out early for good behavior and for turning over information. Here he tried to trade this password for time. He claimed he had just remembered it. But they found out it was a password that he had already given them for something else. So they backed out of the deal.
The idea that new code is better than old is patently absurd. Old code has been used. It has been tested. Lots of bugs have been found, and they've been fixed.
I don't think any of the above is true of this application. It currently barely works and has barely been used. It was also never properly tested.
The size of the codebase is so large that each component is a buggy untested mess. There is no way for anyone involved to say they tested that much code in that timerame. They all a bunch of liers.
If the product is terrible enough it is better to start from scratch than to try to fix it. From the stories I read the codebase for this is pretty terrible. http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/million-lines-of-code/
According the chart there is more code "written" for HealthCare.gov than the entire mouse genome. So starting over makes sense.
But with nothing to do behind the wheel 99% of the time your not going to be alert. Your going to be super bored. So when your supposed to take over you won't be prepared to do so.
Policy departments want laws that allow them to shoot people they think are holding a gun. They don't want to wait untill a suspect has pointed a gun. They don't want to have to provide evidense that the person was going to shoot.
They tried. They minted a bunch of $1 coins and no one wants them. There is about 1 to 2 billion dollars worth of unused dollar coins at the federal reserve.

Remember cell phones, Islam, and the Republican party. Not everythig new is a fad.

Plant cells die when you eat plants. When you eat an apple the living cells in the apple die. On a cellular level you kill things to survive.

Accenture changed its name from Andersen Consulting and broke from Arthur Anderson in Jan 2001. The Enron scandal happened in October 2001.

If so then they are likely in non complience with the licenses involved.

He isn't talking about Non Science people. He is talking about Social Science people and Science Journalist people. Both of whom have educations.
