then the jap's saved money by copying our engineering
Sorry to bust your bubble but the Jap's did something entirely different,
they looked at the British designs and execution thereof and knew what not to do.
I work for the Dutch branch of a British company and when internet became available they did the British Thing (tm) and started logging everything on the company's proxy on a per user basis.
That in itself was probably not much of a privacy issue as many servers are logging connections anyway.
What did become an issue was that those logs were made available to all via our intranet.
The idea being this way supervisors/ management could root out abuse of the internet access, like people spending too much time surfing/.
In the UK this was not an issue (no meaningful privacy laws) but for the branches in the other European countries this was illegal and after a few warnings by the (companies own) lawyers the public access to the logs was disabled.
In Holland the management now has to request access on a per case basis and inform the the works council of its reasons.
Rather obvious I'd say, a decent employer (line management and HR) has regular, at least annual, meetings with it's staff.
These can be called assessments or reviews or whatever, a planning for the coming period/year should be part of them.
And that's where a code of conduct should be discussed (or even signed when minimal trust is a problem).
Last week I replaced my audio cabinet and rediscovered many old CD and records.
I remember clearly why I went to CD from records, I was so pissed off with the scratches and other noises they suffered!
And that was using some high quality turn tables.
My oldest CD's are >20 y/o and all sound as good as new.
Several of the old records have (due to not perfect storage) gotten a little warped and the noise because of dust, scratches and the rest (rumble!) pisses me off as much as when I put them away!
What 'extra' do I want with my 22 Euro CD? A 10 Euro voucher.
What do I want with my 99 cent download? A certificate of licensing that can be used when the download needs to be repeated.
After all, the RIAA claims we're not 'buying' the music but only paying the license to listen to it, I want a (paper) proof of that license.
Although I largely agree with your sentiments I have my caveats, to not (have to) divulge it's source(s) is over time probably the only way 'the press' can be assured of independent and/or privileged information.
The concept of the ban on hate speech is apparently not quite understood by you, speech is only qualified hate speech when it is not conductive to freedom but instead is limiting the freedom of others by unnecessarily/incorrectly labelling them.
If everything goes well this site can not 'Grow Up'.
As the ID numbers indicate there are still a lot of new user registering, no doubt they are every year of a younger generation than you and me.
That you have no time for Linux any more 'cause you have a job is utter bull, my pension is a lot nearer than the time I started working yet Linux has it's place like so many other important things.
Indeed Linux (and X) was what first attracted me to this place in 1997 but it is 'just' one of the items/. discussions thrive on.
But the dupes are indeed quite annoying, even The Commander himself had one earlier today.
It's a bit over the top to announce this once more.
OK, you're trying to entice us to write about our 24 hrs. of experience, thank you it works fine:).
But I still have to decide whether I like the close X in every single tab.
What *does not* work is getting a Dutch version of IE7, it's just not yet available, for FF2.0 I just modified the above script for the version I wanted and voilá!
Slashdot Mirror
You're damn right!
Including an animated gif!
More likely WordStar or at best WordPerfect 5.
But hardly ever scalable into larger series, forget mass production.
And working for a British company I can only conclude that during design and manufacturing future maintenance was seemingly hardly ever considered.
But for one-off's I'd come straight to you!

Oh yeah, the guy you're referring to was called Göring (or with an incomplete font Goering).
Knowing the German system a little I assume this gaffe made the court have his expenses nicely paid.

This commercial site still needs some beating with the clue stick, especially because everything works fine on Linux + Firefox that reports to be IE.
Strange enough the Danish (.dk) and German (.de) error pages give you an 'If you really want to try click here' link...
So for me it's a no-brainer, I only downloaded what is best.

But it is a very narrow line...

I don't like hurting the stupid but you certainly qualify for a good slapping for plain dumb ignorance.
But it is exactly (this) anger that will not give the poor and starving one morsel of bread.
To raise just one of your points, go and find out who in 1948 told the people of Palestine to leave their homes!

Surely when you found out after the first few months you could have moved!
Fine here on Xubuntu and Kubuntu
