With all the draconian BS developers and tech industry have to deal with in their professional lives, I am genuinely surprised SCO hasn't pushed some overtaxed coder who is a Linux guy on the side way over the edge. I'd be nervous if I were that Darl McBride guy. Seriously, what a jack ass.
Unless, of course, you are too busy managing other things and need someone to help you. I can edit, but I don't have time. I need to know how to edit in order to know the person I hired is competent and pays attention to detail.
I would say the same holds true for IT managers. They could findout out why the connection is down, but if they are doing their jobs, they don't have time to and rely on their employees.
Actually I was not referring to the Queen. I was referring to the difference in social standing between your elite and your working class. Most sociologist refer to the UK as a "class system," unlike India's "caste sytem." And yes, classism exists in the US as well, and social inequity is great. Still, we tend to romanitcize the middle and working classes. In England, I beleive I would be a yob?
Personally, I love what my country stands for, not what it is or might become. That said, I've often considered moving to Canada or France (too much classism in England), or even some place more exotic. I worry about the world our daughter might grow up in and what values our system might impose upon her.
Still, every day, I get into my safe, affordable car and drive to my stable, fairly pleasant---yet demanding--job. My husband and I have the economic and political freedom to say and do just about anything we want, while our earning level is dead average.
I hate the corporate side of America, but I also benefit from the boom. If it gets too bad, then we will pick up and leave. For now, we'll stay close to the grandparents.
Is it that hard to imagine that someone might send me a romantic gift? Panties aside, is it too hard to imagine that there are things other than ink that might deserve privacy, that do not include illicit items?
The ability to check the contents of a suspect envelope without violating the correspondence rights has been long sought after...Since ink is generally transparent to terahertz waves the privacy of the correspondence is not violated while the identification of concealed drugs is possible.
Well, what about undergarments and a host of other things I could imagine me not wanting government employees to be peeping at?
The RIAA is not protecting the rights of the artist. (My husband is a musician.)
Do you really think they spend all that money because they are worried about artists' rights?
MOST publishing rights to songs are owned by PUBLISHING COMPANIES, not the "artists." Only large groups--Metallica and Madonna large--own their music. Hell, even Paul McCartney couldn't afford the rights to the Beetles' music when it went on the auction block.
These companies make millions exploiting talent and "manufacturing" hits.
I'm not condoning stealing from the corporations that make up the RIAA, but don't confuse the issue. You are not stealing from the craftsman, you are stealing from the monarch, Robin Hood.
My work email address is posted all over the Net because I work for a university doing PR and maintaining a Web site. I now get 25-50 emails a day for pills, penis enlargement (I dont even have one), and now I get these new "Hi" subject emails."
I'm on a Mac and my unit requires using Lotus Notes and I am NOT an administrator. I use Lotus Notes built in filter but it is not nearly enough. What can I do?
What is more, because hydrogen can be made in a geographically distributed fashion, by any producer anywhere, no OPEC cartel or would-be successor to it could ever manipulate the supplies or the price. There need never be another war over energy.
Nice sentiment, but I'm sure some big corporation, or perhaps some lobbying coalition of corporations will probably patent the technology, then lobby to make certain patents never expire. Even much of major university research is now funded by corporations and results in patents.
Think I'm paranoid? Ask the RIAA how long they think a copyright should be good for. So no wars, just draconian lawsuits that continue the inequitable distribution of energy, food, and wealth.
In the instance I mentioned above, the owner was equally disturbed that I wanted to review the contract with my attorney. Ultimately, she agreed. But after leaving, I am just now free to work in the same area. This was also related to the enteractive entertainment industry.
I thik Mozilla could stand a more user-friendly Web site. Whatever look you come up with, the main page should be familiar and easy for non-developers to navigate. The home page is intimidating. If you want a chance to compete with IE and Netscape, make the main Web interface and download accessible for those users. Link to the 'community' for those who are interested in more than a just finding a browser.
I'm glad someone is pointing this stuff out to people new to the tech industry. When I was first starting out, I remember having to sign all sorts so draconian contracts--and we were just servicing the tech industry.
I thought the owner was insane, so I just ignored it. It would never surprise me now if I learned that she had spied on me. Of course, maybe that was brought on by the paranoia of reading something that, like this book, promotes paranoia.
Let's face it - none of us like forking over our hard-earned cash every month just to use the phone. Well, how much would it be worth to you to be able to call your friends and family for free by using the Internet?
I don't know about you guys, but I pay more for my cable connection than for my my phone service (as I'm sure many of you DSL users do). It aint anywhere near free, but it'd be nice to consolidate services.
Actually, most sociologists use this study to point to another "discrimination," in that if you compare women with children to men with children, women earn less.
Some sociologists argue that it is because of the "choices" women make. Most say it is because women, while now expected to work full time, still have the lion's share of the household duties like dealing with fiances, household chores, child rearing, grocery shopping, and posting on Slashdot, all of which interfere with their ability to get ahead at work. And even if they don't have the lion's share, most employers still assume that if they have children, they will not have time to be fullly committed to their careers.
And no, there would not be a massive assault of lawsuits because the ERA never passed, essentially meaning that discrimination is still constitutional.
Actually, no, the statisic I'm quoting from a 2001 academic textbook compares the 25 most common professions and does not include people who do not 'earn'. Though some feminists would argue that it is more than appropriate to include women working in the home.
Actually, im my field (pr & marketing), women tend to earn more than men, but the most recent academic statistics show that overall women earn.75 of what men earn. I'd be interested in knowing the IT statistic, too. Maybe it is fairer than other, older professions.

Not sure, but I thought the point was that then we would all be forced to use IE to view the Web.
would that would make the RIAA/MPAA is EVIL Block 2 ?

Might drive technology changes in the way we LAN, too, if demand is that strong.

I looked and couldn't find one. I'd mod you up if I hadn't posted another sucky link below!
Nice interface, smooth, curvy, and durable design, sweetly glowing blue lights...
But the best I could come up with is the animation on their USA site
Also, I thought this was an interesting subhead for the article:
An Affordable and Easy Way to Legally Download Your Favorite Songs and Albums emphasis mine.
The LA Weekly has story on the deliberate "spin" this administration is using. Amusing, but scary.

Of course if there wasn't so much stuff going on surrounding the project, I'd have found it myself.

Proving that if we actually read the article, we don't post dumb questions. My bad.
Yeah. Maybe we should just circle our answer and ask for new ballot if we screw that up!
