The democrats will pass it, and so will republicans. They are in pretty universal agreement on strict copyright law, and it would likely pass with 95+ votes.
Sadly, nothing is going to change... we're too far down the path of central control to escape without external intervention already. So our best bet is probably for the chinese army to liberate us.
SCC was much more worthwhile than Caprica. Even though you'll be disappointed by the cliffhanger ending at the cancellation point, I'd still happily recommend it.
I would say its not even clear they were going to get there, since they already had quite a few events that contradicted BSG, and therefore I assumed they were in a different/parallel type of universe.
The code in question is publicly accessible, just not licensed for this kind of use. Once you violate the license, your right to copy that code goes poof.
Even if all the rest of it did, class definitions would not. Also, I wouldn't expect the private java interfaces to count as public interfaces for purposes of copyright (how you in particular implement a public interface ought to be protected by copyright, even if that involves private classes named interfaces in this particular programming language).
I'm sure oracle HAS heard of clean room design (legal), but that does not typically result in methods reproduced word for word, as happens when you copy the methods using cut and paste (judgement for the plaintiff).
Your organization failed. Clearly, other people needed help to get tasks done, for the organization. If those tasks were higher priority for the organization, that should have been communicated to you, and if they were not higher priority, the people involved should have known not to bother you.
I spend much of my day helping coworkers, because I'm the guy who has been here a long time, and knows how everything works. This is of extreme value to the organization, and I'm rewarded for doing it accordingly. I'm also sent little enough work to make sure that I can get it done with the little time I have left over. There's another guy here with a similar amount of experience, and he's been cordoned off to work on a very important project, and everybody knows it. So people with questions know to go to me, and not him.
How far outside? Unless all you can see is the group level productivity, it should be pretty easy to distinguish the two. The manager(s) of said people should be able to tell the difference with ease.
Also, if you're one of the good people, please know that you do NOT have to be overworked. There are companies out there, hiring right now, that don't overwork their people, and are desperately headhunting for the good. The place I'm at right now, for example, has about 10 open headcount for the good people, and won't overwork them.
Interesting. 4 wires to 3 pairs worth of bandwidth. It seems like it should be possible to signal at 4C2 = 6 pair worth of bandwidth if you were signaling optimally.
Someone please explain how this works. Is this some bizarre artifact of the signaling protocol, such that the only way to overcome a design flaw is to use some incomprehensible technique treating physical wires as virtual wires? How can that possibly be better than just natively signaling faster on the wires?
Will someone explain what r@ygold is so I don't have to look it up from work. I'm just going to go ahead and guess that that search would turn up something NSFW.

Unlikely to get? If ACTA goes to the Senate it will pass with 95+ votes. Everyone in both parties supports strict copyright enforcement.

The reality is: enough of us are awake, but the elections are rigged, so it doesn't matter.
Right, it's the implementation claims that are a problem for Google.
Yeah, that's depressing. It was much more varied 8 years ago when I was last working on it.
Exactly. Violate those licenses and you are screwed.
"structure, organization, and content" seems pretty clear to me. If you've got all of those, you're not looking at a clean-room implementation.
You had no problem with the 'let's criticize the iraq occupation' season?

Exactly, it was clearly THE thing to do for geeky nerds who couldn't get a date.

In all fairness, what beer would you most prefer to export, the good stuff, or the bad stuff?
That whole company is just a money laundering operation. The beer winds up in a garbage dump after it gets 'sold' enough times.

Well, slashdot is a traditionally pull media, so 'bothering' you might be a stretch.
Still, story MAKE HULK MAD!

Wow, that bring me back to the days when you could check out all the new sites on the internet.
That's a surprise to me, I usually see:

senior
principal
