It shouldn't be an issue, I think, unless you're deceitful to either employer. I moved from a law firm where I was involved in the deployment of a product in beta (web based doc. management) to the development firm, who wanted someone experienced in using it (unsurprisingly uncommon) to write the documentation, from the POV of where the client would be.
They *did* shield me from direct contact with my previous employer, but more as a professional courtesy, not as an ethical/moral consideration - my manager at the law firm and others there knew perfectly well I was at the development house, and they didn't annoy or hassle me.
Be upfront. Be honest. Then no-one can complain that they were in the dark.
Except that in most cultures (unfortunately), whiny ass kids get their way.
"Can we go to Mount Splashmore?" "No" "Can we go to Mount Splashmore?" "No" "Can we go to Mount Splashmore?" "No" "Can we go to Mount Splashmore?" "No" "Can we go to Mount Splashmore?" "If I say yes will you shut up?" "Yes. Can we go to Mount Splashmore?" "Yes!"
Well this only runs between December and April, as, I guess, the other months the Bass Strait is too rough for it to operate, leaving it to traditional ships...
We have here a service between the mainland and Tasmania... two main ships, the Spirit of Tasmania, and the Devilcat, described here as a:
The DevilCat operates from 21 December 2000 to 16 April 2001, and is a fast wave-piercing catamaran ferry offering comfortable aircraft-type seating and refreshment facilities.
It makes the 300 mile trip in six hours or so, at a speed of 80km/h (50m/h).
And if I take the time and effort to learn how to get into someone else's car, I should be able to do what I like with it, too?
You think this is a bad example? The bandwidth the uni/dorms have isn't HIS to monopolise. He is actively taking resources away from other students who have an EQUAL right to the bandwidth as he does (it's not a matter of him being 'enterprising' to get around limitations).

Which would be why my machine - which sees constant usage, Netscape 4.76, 6, IE5.5, Photoshop, Imageready, etc etc, all running together, stays up for weeks on end? Or are you just a twit?
Especially considering - well actually *not* considering - the high percentage of people who read slashdot.org from an IE browser. I do, and usually visit windowsupdate.microsoft.com regularly. IE5.5 is fine/great for me, except recently kuro5hin has the ability to crash it...:-\
It's more like turning your service off not because of your stereo, but because you might wanna use it in a way that you *can*, but isn't liked by the "owner".
It's interesting, but in Australia, though we still have the same issue of availability of HDTV sets, receivers, etc. But as of 1 Jan this year, all of our television stations *are* broadcasting HDTV signals...
Much better, but futile. I connect through Telstra Big Pond Direct here (which is their permanent connection, static IPs, bandwidth resellers), as opposed to Big Pond Home (etc etc). This ISP provides bandwidth. They don't give you an email address, nor a mail server, or anything. They *do* give you MXing rights on their mail servers, but you need to have your own SMTP server. This would be mission impossible, much as I hate to say.
Existing encyclopedias have a review process. Difference is, factual errors, once pointed out, will be corrected in the entry. Not by "corrective other articles" which will end up being someone's energy in going and verifying. Which is no more different than people to do. An encyclopedia is meant to be a collection of knowledge.
I couldn't agree more. Particularly the stance on "correcting incorrect information"...:
We won't. It'll be up to other articles to point out inaccuracies.
Forgive me, but WTF?!?
An encyclopedia is meant to be a "comprehensive collection of knowledge", not information which is incorrect and left untouched, because (to quote RMS' announcement) "we dare not let any organisation have control over the content".
This sounds ripe to be a disaster, or calamity. Imagine the slashdot trolls getting into it.
If everyone followed your lead, you'd only add to the problem - in terms of news server availability. I'm sure most usenet server owners don't want you effectively downstreaming them without consent.
All the camera shops here, the ones that do digital, and actually know what they're talking about, will do prints from CF, SmartMedia, CD, whatever. Most new cameras even support DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) so you can specify the order and which prints you want done and it's done electronically (onto standard paper). Polaroid also sells a printer (for about $100) which accepts Polaroid prints (I know I know) and actually "exposes" them with whatever image you send to the "printer".
You say the US is the best, because you'd rather live there than Kosovo or Russia (two countries currently at the bottom end of the scale). If you wanted your argument to have more weight, perhaps you should have "picked on someone your own size", like Australia, Canada, some Western EU countries, etc.
Canada has publication bans about stuff like court cases and elections in progress.
Because incorrect media reporting could have very serious ramifications for people? Ramifications not easily reversible?
Tell me, did US TV stations "calling" states early help or hinder the election? Clue: it didn't help.
Election coverage should definitely be withheld till the ballot boxes are closed, so people won't be unduly influenced. "Well, I was thinking about him, but I don't want other-him to win, so I'll vote for yet-another-him, because other-him I hear is winning in Florida."
I have an American friend here for a few months... watching TV she is (or was) constantly raising an eyebrow everytime she heard 'fuck' or, on one or two occasions, 'cunt'.
And this statement from her, made a few times... "Oh cool, you guys didn't cut that scene here".
Australia hasn't been conquered in 213 years. What's your point. The standard of living is nowhere as high as you'd like to think. Canada consistently tops the Quality of Life index published by the UN. The US has never made it in to the top ten. Australia has declined a bit over the past few years but still tops the US by about 6 index points.
Waves of immigration? Have a look at Australia's immigration track record. Every part of the world. Refuge from tyranny, famine, and just those seeking a better life.
The US *is* a good place to live. It's just not "The Choice".
Wow, people from all over the world, including all the countries you mention and more, to live in Australia, too. What's your point? Oh, and why do we have refugees arriving here by the hundreds every week? (500 in the last three weeks alone) From all over Asia, and the Middle East. How many Middle East refugees do you think would pick America over Australia?
Back to the topic at hand. If you don't like the USA, name a better place.
The topic is so loaded it's not funny. The topic makes the (huge) presumption (mainly held by Americans and Americans alone) that America is "The Choice For Freedom". How about you back up your statement, rather than force others to attack the statement?

The printer actually uses a bank of LEDS to display the image onto the polaroid print, somehow (I'm not an expert on Polaroid tech...)
