This officer deserves a reprimand for this but not outright dismissal. If there is a pattern of this with an officer then dismissal would be appropriate but we do need to cut people some slack when it comes to things like this.
I would say that a public apology from the Police Department and an official statment saying that what the person did was not illegal would be nice as well. This would help dispel the image that photographing the police is a crime.
I do not like abuse of power by the police we do need to at least admit that they are human beings doing a nessecary and stressful job. They will make mistakes and should be required to admit and pay for those mistakes as appropriate.
Some might point out that the police force being versed in the law should be explaining to the callers that owning a gun is legal. If the gun owner was doing something suspicious then the cops should investigate but as long as you obey the law the cops should back off. I agree that this is a factor that the police need to weigh when deciding if they should respond, but it shouldn't be the only factor.
I haven't seen a printer directly connected to a machine and then shared in a long, long time. Especially on a Linux network.
Then you haven't been to my house, or the houses of any of my friends. I dont know of any home setup that uses network attached printers. I do this all the time at work but not at home.
Novell is heading towards offering core NetWare services on linux servers. So they will need to have training to offer their current technicians so they can adequately support Netware/Linux servers in the field. Also companies who offer support for Netware environments liek to have their technicians certified so they can charge for for them^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h so the clients know that the technicians are competent.
Did you notice his email address ends in @novell.com.
yes he is a suit most likely or perhaps he had his words filetered through a lawyer but he asked us a reasonable question. (quite flattering that a company like novell would seek/. reader's advice) All I see are smartass responses.
Bandwith costs money. In a work environment you are encourtaged to work instead of downloading your favorite mp3's and avi's from 2p2 networks. If p2p networks are choking your internet connections the n your vpn clients and mission critical apps running over that same conenction start to suck so 1 user using this kind of software affects all the users.
Just because you cannot hold it in your hands doesn't mean you haven't deprived someone of their property.
Intellectual Property is still property. If the person who has created something decides that it has market value and sells it and you aquite it without meeting said cost you are stealing. You are depriving the person who created the IP the compenstaion they demand for their property.
Just because you found an outdated definition of a term (theft/stealing) dosent make you right. Understand that we have to adhere to the letter and the spirit of the law

snip.. I have to drag my ass down the hall and beg someone to give me a telnet window so I can kill X myself. "Why don't you get Windows," they ask. Oh, the shame of it all, the humiliation!
If you were using windows and somethin had frozen / blue-screened you would have pushed the reset button and had to reboot. This could cause all sorts of damage to the filesystem, registry, etc... not to mention waiting for scandisk to run isn't any fun.
With linux you telnet in and kill you X server and then you trot back to your room and continue using your computer like nothing happened. I can't see why this is a source for humiliation.
Unsung adj 1: not rendered in song; "their dirge was unsung" 2: not famous or acclaimed; "an obscure family"; "unsung heroes of the war" [syn: obscure, unknown] 3: having value that is not acknowledged [syn: unappreciated, unvalued]
So therefore the award was for heroes of the linux community that havent had songs written about them. I can only think of two poeple with songs. Linus and RMS. RMS has the Free Software Song and They both are in the the techno remix of the same song. If anyone knows of anyother songs please tell me.

that was my bad. I followed the story back from 2 blogs to msnbc but then neglected to head back to the AP layer.
Always happy to oblige. Did you get your complimentary tinfoil hat when you came in?
Any insight you could give as to how these writers are being screwed over?

Now if people want to hack on new features they can add code to the server side as well as the client side.

Well then again isnt Debian Stable still using kernel 2.0?

Check the list of LPI Gold Sponsors. It seems that Novell is aware of htem on some level at least.

I believe the term you are looking for is Interweb ;)
but cloth prefers to cost money.
So you responded to my comment with the same comment plus a little jab at the editors. Great.
There is a link to download the divx codec (no cost) without the adware below the three main choices. the url is:
http://download.divx.com/divx/DivX505Bundle.exe
the downside is that you have to drink crap
