It sounds, from your description of the offer, that they included details of the relocation package in the offer. Which means you have it in writing. Which means it is a contract. Which means that you should tell the HR person that you have already accepted the job, which means that you have accepted the terms of the contract the offered.
You have the option of telling them that they will honor the terms of the contract, or you will sue them for the difference plus attorney's fees. Also add that you have every intention of honoring your part of the contract by continuing to work there, and if they try to fire you for filing suit, you will sue them again for wrongful termination, damages, and attorney's fees. Make sure the Recruiter and your new boss know of your intentions to hold them to the contract by legal force if necessary.
Ask yourself this question: If you offered to sell a Police Officer drugs, even if you didn't actually have any, would he arrest you? Of course he would. For what, if you didn't have any drugs? He would arrest you for conspiracy with intent to distribute. So, if a Police Officer does the same to you: offers to sell you drugs without actually having them, he is committing the same crime. Conspiracy with intent to distribute. What is the difference? He has a badge and you don't, but in either case no actually crime took place. Doesn't make sense.
Actually, the MPAA is more guilty than the downloaders they are collecting IPs from. They have not only provided the content for distribution, vs. only possessing it, they have committed conspiracy by engaging third party companies and in doing so violated the RICO statute. Let's see some indictments.
Yes, I know this is satire. However, don't think that the MPAA isn't thinking of someway to get money out of you at home. What if we did this: all of us contribute to the EFF and charter the EFF to buy one of the smaller motion picture studios and music publishers. Then we charter them to expicitly void the copyrights on all the the media they distribute. And, they sign new talent and create more new media without copyright, like open media. We buy it, they make it. Open Media Movement.
You suxorz are just pissed because you got pwned by Bill. His l33t Network Anchor skilz are no match for your n00b whining. His is the h8xor of the airwavz! You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! Of course, he isn't talking about anybody who playz "Gears of War". I am creating a new XBOX Live name now, "boreilly", and will take on all suxorz!
Why would slashdot pimp this one book? There are hundreds of web site design books equally has horrible as this one. The website for the design company selling this book is terrible, as pointed out be a previous slashdotter. Why don't we use slashdot space for things that are important and cool. This is a pile of pulped wood created by a non-technical self-promoter. How about a good reference on Tomcat Jakarta? How about a cool book on AJAX? How about a slammin' book on integrating Tomcat Jakarta, J2EE and SQL Server?!!
If you do a google search "site:gov noforn", without the quotes of course, you will unearth hundreds of previously classified and CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED documents. All inadvertantly available on govt. webservers and expressely intended for "No Foreigh Nationals", hence the NOFORN classification. It is sickening.
The first document you will see is from the Department of Homeland Security. Ironic or pathetic?
We need to develop an app that takes any web page and converts it to a jpeg on the fly. We could then each provide a proxy like to Wikipedia on ALL of our web pages! This CGI would scrap any wikipedia page and tranfer it back to a session in China as a jpeg, so a censor can't determine what it contains. If the url and header are from every web page participating, how can they fight that?!
Going to SourceForge.net right now. Project "Chinese TakeOut".
Newspaper, radio, and television solved this problem 100, 80, and 60 years ago respectively. Let's not keep pretending we don't know the answer. Don't listen to the recording and motion picture industry. The are just fools. "When the winds of change blow, some people build shelters, others build windmills."
I think telcos are justified in charging companies for their real consumption of resources. Some sites consume an inordinate amount of bandwidth and we can't expect someone to foot the bill for that for free. But, the guy in the article is right in that it will stifle some innovation. Google would never have been able to put Google Earth online if they had to pay for the real bandwidth in consumes in direct proportion to it's value. When you look at the real use value of it , vs. the bandwidth it actually consumes, and Google knew it would have to pay for the bandwidth, it would probably never have been built.
On the other hand, I agree that the FCC is not fulfilling it's mandate or obligation to the people. They do a lot of good important work at the FCC with regards to keeping things straight for cell phones, satillites and radio comms. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. But, they have been completely bought out by big radio corporations, tv corporations, and now telcos. The have forgotten that they answer to the people, not to K Street. It is time that we all reminded them, and our representatives, who the FCC answers to. Everyone write a letter to your two Senators, your Congressmen, and the FCC Chairman. Let them know who they really work for.
Natural remedies... BAH!, "homeopathetic"... The answer is: Four (4) Penquin mints washed down with a cold Bawls... Take them like a man, don't chew 'em, swallow them whole.
The best protection for Autozone is instead of spending millions with lawyers, buy a half-million shares of SCO and demand the resignation of the board of directors! Any company that feels threatened by SCO should do the same. They should appoint their own board and liquidate the company.
If you really want to get this done, people: quit complaining and buy 10 shares of SCO, call in to the investor conference and voice your will as a shareholder. Put your money where your mouth is! Demand the resignation of the current board of SCO!
This is a pretty good concept, though I think in actually implementation it becomes difficult. For example: where the receiving engine is looking for "dog" a sender may look at the picture and type "hound", or "beagle", or "pet" or whatever. Then it would become a guessing game.
Perhaps the answer to this entire problem is not a technical issue at all... spam is mearly an extension of "junk mail" as email is an extension of snail mail. The difference with unsolicited snail mail is that we just throw it out if we are not interested and the volume doesn't seem to overwelm us, because direct mail costs money and there is a self-balancing system in place.
That is what we need for Spam. Perhaps we should just all respond to our spam! Click on the URL for overseas meds and order a dumptruck load and use all 9s for the credit card number. After millions of responses for zero revenue the incentive may go away!
The next level for filtering is looking at the body of the incoming messages and excluding any html formatted messages (first), any containing graphics in the body (second), and then applying common word filters (such as.biz, PeNiS, enlargement, pills, meds, nigeria, etc.
Works almost to the extreme. Just a few sendmail hacks and you are there.
This whole discussion is silly. We have trusted ATMs with our money for 30 years. The voting process is exactly the same. 1) Put in your card 2)Put in your PIN 3) Vote 4) Get your receipt 5) Get your card.
In fact, I suggested to Bank of America that they make their ATMs available on Election Day. They would only have to add a voting function. Cost less than the government and would be a great service to the community. Very simple for them to do. The government just has to issue cards.
In terms of security, every ATM is equiped with a camera to be used to prosecute fraud. We wouldn't even need those people at voting places anymore! Like they do any good now?!
We have been using Red Hat Linux for quite some time and recently upgraded to 9.0 on our IBM Netfinity production servers. All licensed and everything.
But, I will never pay SCO, even if they win. We will just convert to FreeBSD. I have been running FreeBSD at home for years and, I would gladly donate twice as much money to a BSD project than see SCO get one penny. It's not about the money, I just don't like being held hostage by anyone. No "trading partner" is going to threaten me! There are just too many choices.
I hope the SEC investigates SCO under the new SARBOX laws for this statement in their 10K.
Anyone who pays SCO a penny for anything is an idiot.
MESSAGE TO CIOs/CTOs: If you have any SCO products in house you should be changing them out right now. Converting to FreeBSD takes about 2 hours. (No offense to Red Hat, we love you guys and will stick with you, until we have to pay SCO!) There is always RedHatBSD 5.0 to think about!
MESSAGE TO EVERYONE: The taxpayers paid for the development of Unix and TCP/IP through DARPA, Berkley, and the NIST. SCO owes us all!
Great service, rock bottom prices, huge bandwidth. Less than half the price of Bell South. Recently Time Warner Telcomm has moved into our area with local service and data service and is very competitive. We are looking into this as well, as they have a product called Versapak that let's you break your T1 between voice and data channels and allows you to use all unused voice channels for data when they are not being used.
I am a huge Juan Garcia Equivel fan and I never see any references to the music he wrote for all of these cartoons and such great shows as Gilligans Island, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeanie. He always seems to fogotten in these exposes. He has had such a profound impact on American Television and Movie history and yet few people can name him.
I am sure Bin Laden uses paper and pens/pencils in his communications as well. Therefore, maybe we should make them illegal for the general public. Perhaps he uses air conditioning in his Afghan hideout. Yes, Air Conditioning Technology should be restricted also so that it doesn't fall into the hands of terrorists and make them more comfortable while plotting against Western Democracy.
In an old article in Slashdot these guys had the ticket for you. This origin server could have been upgraded to easily handle your load. Concentric serves over 100k users with theirs. Of course, you want to load it with Apache and stay away from that crazy things like JSPs and to much CGI.

Yes, it is common practice in large companies.
However, you are in luck!

It is that straight forward. Good Luck.
