Actually, lots of companies in this economically downturned climate are just jumping at any reason to layoff or fire an employee. They don't care whether you are good, liked, essential, etc. Tis already happened to me and friends at a small company that had venture cap tired of losing money. And after they got rid of all the people they could, including several they could not do without, they went belly-up. So just try suing them.
Hey. Good legal advice? Man, this is slashdot. You know good legal advice is not allowed here. We only permit crap legal advice that will further screw you, like what some anonymous cowards above posted. We will be suing your backside immediately. Violation of the implied slashdot posting rulesf and all that that you agreed to sight unseen by posting on slashdot.. You are out of work, man. Sayonara dude.
This sounds logical, but it is not true or even relevant in states like Texas, where a company can terminate you for any reason. However, when you apply for unemployment, things can get tricky for the abusive company, and they can wind up paying unemployment. This I am certain of, because it happened to me.
It is not the right to be innocent, like he stated above, but right to work, which does not actually exist in Texas.
Innocent is only applicable when the government comes after you whith officers of the law, not your employer. Unless your employer is the government. Then it gets worse, not better. Just ask that federal employee recently fired because some outsider distorted her remarks.
By the way, exactly how long has the anonymous coward replier above been living in his fantasy world?
Wait a minute. I like people suing senators and representatives. They seem like scum from where I am sitting.
And I am confused. How can posting an article about yourself be against any law? Seems to me if it is about you, you own it.
And since when does any publication have the right to sell rights to anything about you without you having any say in it? Especially to some anti-you company or individual?
It takes you a whole minute to boot Linux Mint? You must have an ancient PC. My laptop boots Windows 7 in 15 seconds. Oops, I shouldn't have said that. I really shouldn't have said that. Now I am going to get flamed big time. I better get out my marshmallows.
Actually, I believe that some people have proposed something like laws of conservation of "information". The entropy level of the UNIVERSE constantly increases, but we can see locally that there is a lot of organization (anti-entropy). Galaxies, Suns, planets, life, etc. As the entropy of the universe increases, information decreases - there is more homogeneity, less differentiation.
Neutrinos do not have to be influenced by solar flares, or sunspots of either type (hot or cold). Sunspots appear to be influenced by what appear to be currents which circulate below the surface of the Sun. Beyond that, not much is even guessed about what drives those currents. We are not even certain that they exist. (I believe, I believe, I believe) It is extremely possible that the processes which create neutrinos fluctuate, and eventually signs of those fluctuations make it to the surface (it takes neutrinos nearly forever to get from the Sun's core to the surface). Same goes for the fluctuations which eventually drive sunspots.
We have far to little information and knowledge about how the Sun works, although we have tons of data, hypothesis, theories, and beliefs. For example, they still cannot figure out, to within a factor of four, how much oxygen is in the Sun.
And you want to worry about small fluctuations in the levels of rarely detected neutrinos?
Actually, you mean that you are not detecting enough influence to believe that there are a lot of cosmic neutrinos. Whole different can of worms. You have expectations of what cosmic neutrinos will cause that you can detect. Beliefs, hypothesis, theories. Not certainties. Since you do not have the methods to produce quantities of cosmic energy level neutrinos, you are stuck with a very small number of recorded events per month. 31 events of the same sort is a statistically usable number of events. You ain't got that with cosmic neutrinos, do ya?
Actually, String theory, dark matter, and dark energy are hypothesis, not theories. Theories are hypothesis which have come up with tests to prove or invalidate them. Then the tests are run, and scientists come to a general agreement that the hypothesis appear to be valid for some range of phenomenon. Then they are elevated to theories. String theorists have not been able to come up with any tests which can be performed. I believe the same situation exists for dark crap.

I am pretty sure that GPS does not use cell phone tech in any way. The tracker reporting function could use cell phone or similar tech, but GPS is satellite, and cell phones are cell phone towers. different freqs, different laws, different tech.
Perhaps you are thinking of cell phone cell tower locator tracking. Not in any way related to GPS.
And very localized jamming of cell phones, especially when it can be turned on and off, would be hard to catch.
Onstar was analog cell phone tech. Has it switched to digital cell phone? Or did it switch to GPS?
Can someone point us to plans to build simple, cheap GPS tracker scanners so we can check our vehicles, and cheap, simple GPS jammers? Point us to places that sell this stuff? Point us to plans for EMP guns to incapacitate these devices without toasting our vehicles? Plans to secure our property? (alarm systems)
The medical industry should have an independent commission like the one over the airline industry. The air one regularly generates recommendations to the FAA, which the FAA often ignores, regarding changes and additions to FAA regulations which would make the air safer and more reliable.Setting up such a commission for the medical industry would be quick, simple, easy. Just go to the big university medical schools, approach the doctors and deans of medicine, get them to focus on a slashdot-like blog that has discussions about medical issues. Get them started on an Medical engineering task force which takes RFCs (Requests for comment) and produces RFCs (standards) for the medical industry (hospitals, doctors, med schools, medical equipment manufacturers). Currently the AMA acts to some extent in this way, and some of their standards are crap,. But they carefully avoid many areas which would "hurt" some incompetent doctors and hospitals and med equip manufacturers. So a more independent organized effort is clearly needed. In the above case, simple color coding, with faint coloring of the plastic tubing, in addition to colored stripe patterns, would solve the problem. You know, like the resistor color coding we electronic types had back when resistors were big enough to use the bands. (I know, I am dating myself age-wise).
Or we could just add a medical section to slashdot and do this stuff ourselves.
It is illegal to threaten anyone in America with murder or any other form of harm. You have been reading and believing too many anti-American rags. (all rags published in Europe, for example). Cut down your own arrogance a few notches.
Your government (Germany) has been maximum evil overlords more than once. Why do you have the idea that they have changed? Maybe they have learned to be less obvious about it, and not get caught?
The American gov sucks big time, and will abuse any power that they can get their hands on, legally or illegally. Your gov is the same.
The only difference is the morals and ethics of the people currently in the gov with access to these powers. American gov employees are low on the morals scale. I am sure Germans are similar. I think there is something about working for the gov, and military, that reduces morals, and attracts people with low morals, like our Bill Clinton, and a recent top gov official in Germany?
Comparing bad to bad just wastes time and energy. They are all bad. Get over it. Stop crowing that your bad gov is not as bad as ours.
um, you won't INTENTIONALLY give your fingerprint for it, but if they want your fingerprint, or DNA, there is nothing you can do to stop them from getting it, except die. Even then, they can get it, but won't need it.
um, you only tested it on standard public rfid receivers. Hackers / governments / criminals can make much better antennas for their rfid scanners, getting far greater range, even on foil sealed devices. You would be far better off building and wearing an rfid jammer.
