Comparing OSI failure rates to commercial failures rates is very difficult as per THE TOPIC of TFA because there is no set standard for OSI to be deemed a failure outside of subjective analysis. In which case, there's tons and tons of failed projects, but a few major successful ones.
If you teach a math teacher history, which that teacher doesn't care for you're setting them up to fail and in turn the school is brought down with them.
You mean... they remember some of there schooling from back in the day and impart it on their students in non-subject matter as part of typical human conversation?
Man... why do people find the education system so difficult to understand, you're responsible for the kids these institutions are turning out today through your ignorance and unreasonable expectations.
My best teachers specialized in one subject and... ready for this... WERE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT , that's the way to go, not cross-training.
Never stopped slashdotters from posting idiotic ideas before though. How about approaching it from the "need only access" approach, and auditing systems periodically for rogue access approach. Probably would cost less too, than training teachers in anti-phishing concepts who only want to teach social studies and math.
That OSI projects often don't make good business decisions. And before anybody says anything, they do have limited resources and they can be using them to improve their "product" instead.
my main point there is that My Pillow could've changed up the requirements several times, or scope creeped significant new features in. We just don't know. SalesForce is a big company that I haven't heard a whole lot of negative about, while My Pillow used an employee's credit card.
As far as credibility goes, I am very inclined to lean towards SF, though the article makes it sound like My Pillow is completely getting f'ed.
And as far as the amount of 550k goes, it does seem excessive, but I think it may be a legal tactic to try to extract a partial settlement.
I feel bad for the employee, but at what point does oneself have to assume responsibility for their actions?
When you introduce commercial aspects to OS, it becomes a completely different beast because now you've promised deliverables for the money. The person selling at that point is legally obligated to deliver what they're promising, so if a project goes stale and doesn't work with future technologies, but is still advertised as so in a deceptive manner, they either have to take them down or face a barrage of FTC complaints leading to legal action.
There is however a gigantic difference between a random business trying not to get robbed by installing surveillance cameras & government based monitoring. A huge huge difference. Rights aren't really being debated here I don't think, as much as ethics. You're right that it's not unreasonable to expect to be recorded in public, but when the government is doing it because they want to protect us from "terror"... well we're down this road with the patriot act and talk to anybody that's been fucked with by the TSA (a long list of people), we don't need any more protection / harassment.
sourceforge, github, and other major OSI project hosts feature both last updated dates and when a project is discontinued often times notices stating so. Ultimately, some responsibility is placed on the author(s) & maybe even the community for managing this. Search engine rankings take care of the rest. And of course, there is no way to bat 100% here, some will be missed with this and just about any other method.
1. My pillow contracts sales force to give them a custom solution 2. Salesforce agrees & begins work that was due by June 1st 3. Work isn't done by June 1st and SF rep asks for 125k to do it by Aug. 1st that gets paid by employee card cause check "wouldn't work" 4. Aug 1st. SF does not deliver 5. My pillow refuses to pay SF, SF re-instates credit card charges to employee's card 6. SF sues My pillow for 550k stating substantial advertising efforts, employee disputes charge in court.
So this isn't a 3 way law-suit...
Before you go denouncing SF as being the anti-christ remember, we don't know what the requirements were, or how they were manipulated by either party. The employee's card being charged doesn't make my pillow look good either.
Personally, if I was that employee I'd maybe try to sue the sales rep for misrepresentation in the overall grey light of this case.
Why would somebody video tape cops? What could their motive possibly be? If a video tapper sees you getting your ass beat by a pig, he'll ensure its available to you as a common interest item in your defense. Worst case scenario there's whole websites dedicated to this, I guess you'd have to notice your arrest getting video taped, but you can always look around online too.
P.S. Your post past the first sentence doesn't make a shred of sense.
Procedural violations, 3rd degree assault, lack of probable cause are all things that can straight up get the charges against you dropped. But when it's the cops word against yours, you'll probably lose even if you've never been arrested.

Better yet, why aren't they more transparent about it?
I like how you selectively read my post and are completely oblivious to the word "often" : http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/often

*shrug* back then it would've taken 10 years to crack that anyways.
Am I understanding you correctly? You think that you having to scan your finger on a gun to use it isn't worth human lives?
In the headline.
If the safety is properly designed, that's not really a problem. Holsters are a comfort feature then.
There is never enough safety to stop an idiot from doing something dumb... source? history.
You do realize everytime rednecks leave their guns out and their kids shoot themselves it makes front page on cnn adding fuel to the fire right?
This... would effectively stop that piece of it, with an added bonus of knowing your own guns can't be used against you.
can't you pretty much do the same thing nowadays anyways...?
Slashdot sure has changed, most of the people posting don't even comprehend the difference between what they did and say a concord.
when was the last time you checked your httpd file?
I'm going to steal and then patent this idea of insulting the patent office to get your patents approved. Well played.

*shrug* I wouldn't loan somebody my card to buy a coffee just because of the surrounding risks to its security, as well as the principle.
People who were consumers in the 90s?
1. My pillow contracts sales force to give them a custom solution
2. Salesforce agrees & begins work that was due by June 1st
3. Work isn't done by June 1st and SF rep asks for 125k to do it by Aug. 1st that gets paid by employee card cause check "wouldn't work"
4. Aug 1st. SF does not deliver
5. My pillow refuses to pay SF, SF re-instates credit card charges to employee's card

All I'm saying is that video taping cops behavior during arrests CAN HELP YOU, it can almost never hurt you. Anybody looking for your arrest record can find it by association: http://www.ehow.com/how_5660993_public-arrest-information.html .
Procedural violations, 3rd degree assault, lack of probable cause are all things that can straight up get the charges against you dropped. But when it's the cops word against yours, you'll probably lose even if you've never been arrested.
