And keep a copy of your stuff on hand before you get fired.
If you were doing it at work on company systems it's probably not "your stuff" anyway, it's probably small utilities he used to make his job easier. If you want to do something for yourself do it on your own time on your own machine, don't use any company resources and try not to do anything that would make them question your loyalty to your day job. Being a consultant or contractor is fine because everyone knows that. Being an employee with a secret double agenda is not.
I'm aware of the ownership matter. But if you're planning to keep it anyway, it's better to not have to hack your old employer to get it.
... simply telling them he wasn't interested in helping them with the problem. If you're going to do something like this, you have to learn to balance ego and revenge.

He wasn't charged with making a copy of the things he had. He was charged with breaking the system.
Yes. However the article said he deleted the files to cover his tracks while he was trying to get a copy of his code. If he had kept a copy, he wouldn't have had to log in then try to cover his tracks.

>Personally I love systemd, not because it's fast, but because it completely prevents boneheads from putting stuff in init.d scripts that never should have been there.
This.
I used to go in to troubleshoot a service problem to find page after page of dense impenetrable bash script with no obvious purpose. That doesn't happen much any more.
OpenSCAD is the 3D tool for programmers. I can be productive in OpenSCAD in the way I cannot be with a point and click program. Making parametric models is a natural act in OpenSCAD.
Try it out if you're frustrated with your 3D cad tool, but you aren't afraid of coding.
You seem to be describing Shapeways, aside from the detail of "picking up the piece after work". (They instead want to mail it to you when it's done, and it can take more than a few hours.)
1 to 2 weeks in my experience. It's worked well for me though and I'll be using them again.
I've done just fine with Shapeways. They have the high end printers and can do plastics, metals and ceramics. The per item cost is higher but I don't have to drop $50,000 on the printer.
It's been quite useful for custom drill guides in small volume manufacture (10s of units) and prototyping and the custom silver pendant went down well with my wife.
So, contrary to your statement, yes, Apple managed to hit the bar set by their competitors.
At the prices Apple charge for their laptops I expect them to far exceed the bar set by their far cheaper competitors. If they only meet it then there is nothing to justify the far higher prices...which is a big part of the problem with the new MBPs: they are average laptops with an insanely high price.
This is an early-Production issue, and will be quickly fixed with a software update.
Remember, the new MBPs boast much louder (and better-sounding) speakers. I would bet that they have upped the amplifier-power as well, and testing this particular thing slipped through the cracks.
An understandable growing-pain, considering it is a fairly obscure thing to test.
I don't even want speakers in a laptop. I never use them. Put batteries in the space otherwise taken by the speakers please.
I'm sure that Apple should act on the.0005% of the laptop-buying public that agrees with you.
Well it worked for headphone sockets on the iPhone.
The plan9 window system was not great. But that didn't matter - what you could do on the command line was magic. I haven't used it for years, but at times I think I should go back, just for the joy of how everything was easy to do through the file system.
>I'm actually surprised by this point that the whole business market hasn't gone thin client/RDP by this point.
We have (at least in my mega corporation), but we're using normal laptops hooked to big monitors as the thin client. All real work happens on Linux boxes via VNC. Thin clients were a promise that never got cheap enough to be justifiable when you could buy a PC for less.
Biased in this context means the funding body (such as the US government) only funded and authorized studies that were looking for problems with pot consumption. If you fund 20 studies like that each treating the significant threshold of 5%, you can expect to get one significant claim even when there isn't a problem. Add to that the knowledge of researchers that they will get more funding if they find problems, they are going to ensure they find problems even when they don't exist.
I think he's inferring that denial of science is biased based on the perceptions of the person doing the denying. People who drive an F350 King Ranch Ford Pickup are more likely to deny climate change. Stoners are more likely to deny Marijuana causing a lowering of blood flow to the brain. I suppose there could be some overlap in those two examples.
I used to drive an F350. I'm no climate change denier. Maybe that's why I sold it for a tiny convertible.
I tend to be skeptical on this because A) Pot research has a history of being biased B) Causality. It doesn't seem like a good study to show causality. C) It's the first time I heard of such a thing as low blood flow in the brain. Why is that bad? How is that bad? If it's bad why doesn't it show up in epidemiological data?
Until the story and data all line up, I'll stick with 'I don't know'.
Going on further, the query language would not be Turing complete. It would have formally decidable behavior and it would be possible to formally (and easily) show that the only operations expressible over the channel are in a permitted set.
I developed a CA request protocol along those lines. So the attack surface of the CA interface was greatly reduced and inconsistencies could be easily detected.

I can program in 6502, Z80, x86 and 680x0 assembly languages. Knuth doesn't deserve any thanks.
Me too. Rodney Zaks gets my thanks.
I use TAOCP as a handy authoritative reference for algorithms in specs. It's not a great read though.
>CLR (now CLRS)

Common Language Runtime?

>I do have ThinkPad T460p
My employer is giving me one of these in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure if it's an upgrade from the Carbon X1. We shall see.

And a link for a common example of reporting on this matter which took me very little time to Google for.

Of course, that blood flow brings things like oxygen and such...
So you should strive to have high blood pressure right?
Also, what crappy hotels do you stay at that don't have TV in the rooms? Every hotel I've been in for the past few years has had a TV with HDMI in.
I welcome the day when they stop putting TVs in hotel rooms. I can make use of the desk space, but not when there's a telly on it.
That was last year under DICE. New owners put an end to it. http://www.pcworld.com/article...
Interesting, because as we can see from the comments, the smell still lingers. That fart was not silent but it sure was deadly.
seems like less blood flow would make the brain last longer and less pressure sonless stroke risk
That was my thought. Presumably less blood flow comes from less blood pressure, which is usually a good thing.
Simple solution, put the 7.3 turbo diesel into the tiny convertible.
The 3.5 Liter in the convertible seems to do ok. Maybe if I didn't mind being arrested, I could make use of a bigger engine.
Similarly I had a horse to pull. When the horse went away I had a series of house moves to help out with.
After a year not using it to haul anything, I sold it. It's was a bitch to park.
