I recently accepted a Director level position at a small, 40 person, technology company. On my first day, I was provided with all of the standard employment paperwork...
They already had hired him. IANAL, but this sounds kind of like breach of contract to me. The offer should have spelled out ALL of the terms and conditions.
Oh, buy the way we didn't bother to tell you (fill in the blank)
One of the parties is not being straight with the other.
Bush might not be as pristine in character as his PR folks try to make him look, but he's lightyears ahead of his predecessor in the departments of ethics and moral character.
So presiding over more execution in Texas than the rest of the civilized world combined shows good character. Don't even get me started on having his brother steal the election in Florida for him...
I take it you've never driven even 1 mph over the speed limit.

Of course I'm going to blame the Republicans. They have made sure the Democrats can't check their power.
These are the scariest people in history to run this country. This bill was debated in secret. These clowns have it backwards. They're supposed to debate in public, and respect my privacy.
In 2 years, I plan to work on a democratic campaign.
I'm going to use this guy's technique. I'm going to go get a job at M$ support. I'll call everyone who calls me a stupid crook. I'll get fired in a week, but everyone will blame Bill Gates.
I'm just waiting for ONE major artist (Madonna, Phil Collins, Elton John, etc.) to publically refuse to resign with the RIAA and to go to a pure Internet-based distribution system and playing concerts.
The problem with this is that the concert and radio businesses are monopolies. Any artist seen as anti-business will soon be a street artist.
Those who say the US needs campaign finance reform are wrong. We need big media/anti-monopoly reform.
Isn't this essentially SDA or "Star wars", only on a smaller scale. We point a lasar at something to disable it. It's only a matter of time before the UN weighs in on this.
US can do this because we're good. If anybody else in the world tries it, we'll call for their ouster.
Now where's that mayonnaise jar?

Click and Clack (of NPR) just informed me that it's on Funk & Wagnall's back porch.
I spent some time as a software development manager. Whenever anyone who worked for me gave me an estimate of 2 weeks, I assumed they hadn't estimated correctly (all jobs look like 2 week jobs). I would grill them much more deeply than any other estimate.
I learned this when a developer gave a 2 week estimate. 2 weeks later he told me he had 3 more weeks of work. I pulled him from the project since he was making negative progress. He was too dense to get the message.
I got my ex a very nice diamond when we got engaged. Along with everything else she "stole" from me, she got the diamond. I'm glad the resale value was low. Bitch.
Lets see: I can use Windows and Bill Gates REQUIRES ME to pay ~$100/yr (upgrading semi-annually) or he will sue me into poverty. Or I can use RMS's for free. All he asks is that I speak a couple hundred syllables/yr. He doesn't even require, he merely requests it.
15 years ago I thought RMS was a nutcase. Now I have deep respect. I will speak the syllables he requests out of respect.
I only wish he would have picked meanful syllables that are phonicly intuitive (I'm tired of arguing if the G is silent) like FSF/Linux.
Since he is way smarter than me, I will utter these syllables as compensation for the software he has made available to me.

You probably got off easy. If you left a loose end like an overdraft protection for $1500, I find it hard to believe that you didn't leave an existing ISP loose end.
In short: I don't believe you. If this really did happen, you're a whimp for paying. People who are this easy to extort $1500 from make it difficult for the rest of us.
Why don't you hire me to be your personal business manager for $1500 per month, and I guarantee I'll save you that much every month since I am not a doormat.

Lawyers are going to compare this list to arrest lists. When they get a hit, they will go down to jail and sign up a new client.
They will then name the list administrators as defendants in a lawsuit. They knew a crime was likely, and did nothing to prevent it.
If I were an administrator of that list, part of the list process would be to offer public assistance to anyone on the list.

Not quite. This is not about sharing source, this is about disclosing standards by a lawbreaking monopolist.
A judge said you are bad you must be broken up. M$ paid for a new legislature and president, then got rid of the judge.
Lesson: You must play by the rules unless you have enough money. Now I must get back to work to pay for a hooker (er ex-wife).
