only 5 signatures in the petition... seems to suggest that linux has pretty good negotiation skills
i doubt anyone could claim with any credibility that torvalds hasn't been the best steward of the kernel source... it's not like he bribed or butchered his way into the position or rules with an iron fist... linux is open source, so anyone could fork it and drum up enough support to make their fork the most popular kernel, but that torvalds' mainline kernel is at the top says that the world trusts his judgement and that his negotiations are in the best interest of linux, which is more honorable than the interests of many other people
it might have an advantage in forcing lazy programmers with no concept of 'code etiquette' to write semi-readable code as indentation is forced by syntax.
on the other hand, making indentation part of the language creates all sorts of other readability problems.
they probably started trudging through thousands of python files and got to the 20th and though "fuck this is giving me a headache... that's enough bugs already", and then published their number of bugs found out of the thousands of files they intended to check but couldn't bear to.
i like pascal as a language. i know it takes a fraction of a second longer to type "begin" instead of "{" or some other block delimiter, but it makes for very readable code, particularly with syntax highlighting on, and even if you're having to suffer the code of others. i also use php which feels a little C'ish, but its more symbolic than pascal but with similar whitespace freedom, which can make readability harder if you aren't a convention perfectionist (which i think programmers should strive to be, at least in their code).
i guess if you live on planet idiot everything seems strange here on earth
see, here on earth it isn't a "god" given right to work, and working for pay isn't slavery regardless of the agreed terms of employment. employees willingly enter into a contract of employment with terms that favor them (such as getting paid) and terms that favor the employer.
there is nothing unreasonable about having to give notice... it doesn't prevent someone from quitting a job, and notice works both ways; unless you do something illegal or negligent (that likely breaches other clauses of your employment contract) an employer usually can't just fire someone without notice or cause. sometimes companies fall on bad times and they are forced to downsize... is it reasonable that an employer fires a redundant employee without notice? of course not... well maybe on planet idiot it might be.
maybe you're one of those union tossers that thinks employees should be telling their employers what to do.
i'm not arguing anything... if you don't believe me you can go look it up for yourself. if you still don't believe what you read, or you're unable to read, sucks to be you. so go get a job and quit without notice and see what happens. i don't care either way because i don't know you from a bar of soap, so if you lose it doesn't affect me and it will be your own fault.
i'm right, you're wrong, and i'm not even going to accuse you of lying... i think you're too stupid to know any better. ignorance is a huge problem in the united states at the moment, which is why you have a communist as president and you're the economic toilet of the world.
if people believe what i'm saying a give notice to their employer, how is it going to harm them? even if your fellow employees on planet idiot give notice it won't hurt them.... but while giving notice may not harm the employee on planet idiot, it will harm the employability of others here on earth. so if anyone else is reading this thread, AK Mark is trying to hurt your employment prospects by giving bad advice. he is an ignorant fool from planet idiot. even if you live there with him, you're not going to do yourself any favors by not giving your employer notice before walking out of a job. only stupid people do that; google "quit job burn bridges" and click "i'm feeling lucky" and you'll see that the first point is regarding giving notice. also, if you believe the dipshit that i'm replying to you run the risk of losing financially; just as walking out without giving notice is a breach of most employment contracts, not paying an employee who walks out is also a breach but in a court they will merely be seen as similar; the (former) employee has left their employer in the lurch and likely hurt them financially by walking out without notice, so they are likely due compensation in the for of withheld benefits of that former employee
If you walk out without notice, the employer must still pay out vacation time owed
not if you breached the terms of your contract by not giving notice... of course you could always hire a lawyer and fight your former employer for your benefits, but you walking out without giving notice wouldn't help your case
What does an employee *ever* lose by walking out
- leave - salary owing since last pay
...and these are just the potential financial losses
Given that the facts are against you
nonsense... you just don't like what i'm saying for whatever reason (perhaps it is you who is bitter)
i've never walked out of a job without notice and i've always left on good terms. i've got no beef with you or anyone else here, but it's fun to wind people like you up:)
So "walking out" doesn't "break" the contract
right... maybe on planet idiot it doesn't. maybe you should try reading an employment contract
Why do you care if an employee loses two weeks of pay they didn't earn?
firstly, i'm not being "bitter" (about what even?). secondly, generally the employee cares if they lose pay they did earn. perhaps you're having difficulty reading, but i said previously that often employees are owed money. what employer pays their employees for time they haven't yet worked?
In a civil tribunal, you'd be fine. The worst that would happen is that you'd be held to the contract you signed.
your apparent lack of understanding of very basic industrial relations suggest that you probably don't even have a job, or work for the government which basically means the same thing.
that's spot on... when employees announce their intention to quit (whether it be with notice or a middle finger) they are more often than not owed money by their employer, so everyone here who disregards notice is an idiot. if an employee gives their employer the middle finger and quits without notice, the contractual clause that the employee likely agreed to gives the employer the right to take that middle finger and shove it up the former employee's ass and eject them from the workplace without pay or benefits.
giving your employer the finger may not be illegal in the criminal sense, but in a civil tribunal you would be fucked.
seems like server-server is where the NSA taps are. apparently they use beam splicing on fibre optic lines in data centers.
i guess though the point of all this is to increase awareness and wake the world up from their ignorant hypnosis when it comes to internet security and privacy... anything is better than nothing and encrypting some segments of the overall transfer at least reduces the size of the target.
eventually (hopefully) internet users will think twice before spilling their life stories on facebook and using the same password for everything

This will never work.

many employment contracts likely require minimum notice of termination as a condition which you must agree to
