The stacks run on Apache are massively varied. The Tiobe stats tell a story - C# and.NET are major players. And, to be fair, C# is a pretty nice systems dev language these days.
...that your company is probably better off without you whinging about how Bill Gates and Darth Vader have the same accountant, if you want to have 100% control over your technology stack, start your own business or become a freelance consultant. That way you'll be free to pick and choose what you work on.
Of course, the kind of person who would quit their job because they're scared of Microsoft probably doesn't have the right temperament to run a successful business.
Put you in jail for contempt because you cant decrypt the file.
He is under no obligation to believe your little text file - as far as he is concerned it could be a particularly unimaginative ruse. Afterall, what kind of moron would encrypt a file with a key that he couldn't possibly remember or reproduce?
Occam's razor tells the judge you're lying and you're going to the big house.
So in the unlikely (?) event that the FBI want to search your hard drive, you've encrypted a non-sensitive file with a key you don't know because...you like prison food? Communal showering? Room mates named Tiny?
In short, your defence when the judge is threatening to find you in contempt will be 'What can I say, your honor? I'm a retard.'
...so if they throw her in jail for contempt, then doesn't the likelihood of her being able to remember the password decrease over the time of her incarceration, and with it, her ability to comply with the judges orders? If she rides it out for a few months, then isn't her inability to recall her password more credible?
I think what this case demonstrates, is the need for a duress password. Enter it and bam. Unrecoverably locked. Then it would be for the prosecution to prove that you deliberately destroyed evidence.
I'd play for 'stress induced amnesia'.
Or I'd say that the password was written in dust on my desk, and it was destroyed during the search.
What a bunch of complete and utter smegheads

No Pardon For Turing

Pardon's have been granted to soldiers shot for cowardice during WWI. Why is that an acceptable correction of an injustice, but this not? Cowardice was just as illegal as 'gross indecency' at the time, yet that was overlooked in favour of righting a grievous wrong.
No, you've made those assumptions on my behalf (thanks). No reasonable person could make those inferences from my comment.
If someone else can do my job cheaper than I can, to the same standard or better than I can - I deserve to lose my job - that's the free market people are always raving about, isn't it.
Fortunately, the Chinese haven't worked out how to transfer years of specialist domain experience into the heads of their worker drones yet. I'm good for another decade or so, in which time I'll have moved on.
"Many major technology companies have worked with factories where conditions are troubling. However, independent monitors and suppliers say some act differently. Executives at multiple suppliers, in interviews, said that Hewlett-Packard and others allowed them slightly more profits and other allowances if they were used to improve worker conditions."

No, you're here to make me look good.
Nice work, son.
When has Microsoft prevented any of the open source alternatives from marketing their offerings?
There are many open source office applications that will save to MS Office formats. Your laziness is not Bill Gates' fault.
No one is stopping people from making a personal choice about the software they use. No one is forcing people to use MS Office.
I'm sure he'll get back to you as soon as he has eradicated AIDS and cured cancer.

Where do you jump to when you already work for one of the biggest companies on the planet and are richer than Midas?
It took him 14 years to find a job he wanted more than the one he had. If only we were all so lucky.
Yeah, but that 15% is essentially pure .NET.
.NET are major players. And, to be fair, C# is a pretty nice systems dev language these days.

What a bloody disgrace.
All true, but I wont work for idiots lest it turn out to be contagious.
And yes, I do realise that I am lucky to be able to make such a choice.

Only bad engineers get offshored. The good ones get kept on to manage the offshored employees.
Ever heard of clouds? Or night-time?
It's nice to see real Engineers getting a bit of recognition for a change.
Scary fact of the day from the CFIT wiki article - as of 2007, 5% of commercial airlines still weren't running a Terrain awareness and warning system.
I don't think putting incorrect data into the software can really count as manipulating the IT system.
Even banking systems have to obey the cardinal rule: Garbage in, Garbage out.
Just because the holes were visible from the outside doesn't mean that it is the only damage the aircraft suffered.
At least he chose to study engineering and not medicine.
All he has to do is tweet a bad joke about getting drunk and humping Marilyn Monroe's corpse and DHS will deport his ass back to the UK.
If intelligence isn't a prerequisite for the office of President, it shouldn't be a prerequisite for the role of tourist.
"Many major technology companies have worked with factories where conditions are troubling. However, independent monitors and suppliers say some act differently.

Again, read the NYT article.
