Its already a well established legal precident that companies cannot avoid liability simply by spinning off the offending department. There is no time limit on this either. All that needs to be proved is that the company is spinning off the unit in order to evade liability.
The justifications for getting an on-campus education are getting flimsier and more pathetic by the minute.
What would you say of someone who went to school phsyically, but did not stay in resident housing? What about someone with their own condo? Someone who lives at home with their parents? Or are you only going to hire someone rich enough to afford 4 years of campus living?
Lastly do you think university is the only place where one can learn social skills? What if the person has them already?
If all a University eduaction is worth is "social skills" then you might as well enroll at Club Med for 4 years. Or backpack around the world. Fuck the actual education and knowledge, the merit and achievement, the world's just one big high school clique; either you're out or you're in!
Slashbots just take and take and take and never give anything in return. Heck they couldn't if they wanted too since only a very small minority of Slashdot posters can program worth a damn.
Guess what? We're not talking about killing babies. We're talking about securing network and school resources from those who choose to use them for non-academic purposes.
Big difference there! Hopefully you'll move out of mom's basement someday and discover that.
I believe its $100k per digital projector. Are you willing to personally fund the re-equipping of America's theartres? No? Well STFU then.

Sun is not a well managed company by any means. Scott has forced nearly every employee there to use the lame network-computer concept so very few people have PC's of their own. While this might be a good productivity raiser for MOST companies, for a TECH company employees need the freedom to use standard Windows software so they can install new software they find on the internet and keep an eye on the competition.
The declining of Sun and Scott McNeely's progressing megalomania. The man clearly doesn't want to see his company lose prominence but his own actions are causing it to do so. He needs to give up on the "the network is the computer" concept and just accept that people like having their own personal PC's. He should also stop obsessing about Microsoft, because Microsoft sure as hell isn't obsessing about Sun. MS is worried about Linux, and Scott should be too.
But he can't see that you see, for Scott only has eyes for Microsoft.
WTF are you talking about? What could possibly compete with the internet? Some other computer network? Oh wait that would be the internet too, just bigger.
Do you think the USA is some UNIQUE form of nation or world power? All empires fall but you think the one that replaces the US will be any better? And do you honestly think the US is so bad to begin with? Just what type of pampered college boybitch who's never had to experience real struggle and misery are you?
Every single one of his suggestions leads to more efficient processes or products. That in turn leads to less workers needed per task/job. Simply by sharing his ideas and concerns with us he has already contributed to the problem.
There is no solution unless we adopt a DUNE like anti-technology society and re-embrace slavery. Mmmmm slavegirls........
No its really true. Most people just don't give a fuck. Its like asking most folks whether they prefer Trillian or some other multi IM app. They'd look at you strangely and go, "um I just use the AIM software I downloaded from AOL.com"
I don't see how you can think of it as "abuse". Judicial Review is the one thing that truly makes the Judicial Branch an equal and separate power from the Executive and Legislative branches.
A judge interprets the laws and the constitution. Thats their duty as the Judicial Branch. Congress can alter but not over-ride the constitution. No one can over-ride the constitution. But as I said before it can be altered. If Congress passed a law re-instating slavery the Supreme Court would invalidate that law until such time as the Constitutional Amendment out-lawing slavery was revoked or repealed.
Seeing how amending the Constitution requires the approval of 3/4th of the states and both houses of Congress well it ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
1. The House (along with the Senate) writes the Federal laws of our nation. So if they write the law and its constitutional then whats your problem? If Congress wants to give the FTC more authority then whats it to you? 2. The Telemarketing industry consists of scum. I don't care if there are millions of scumbags. A scumbag is a scumbag. GOOD RIDDANCE to the lot of them! 3. There are SO many OTHER ways to sell a product. Harrasing people in THEIR OWN HOMES is NOT THE ONLY WAY. 4. Believe it or not, Congressmen are people too. Ever stop to think maybe the senators and represenatives themselves are tired of telemarketers calling their homes and bothering their families?

What the fuck is interesting about fireman pulling a cat out of a tree?
We're not evil because we don't like crap like that.
Its just plain boring.
Jealous?

Do people who use the word higher when the word hire is the appropriate word also make us look like idiots?

Huzzah! Wallah wallah bing bang!
Get it? All of this is just COMPUTERS. Not civil rights. Not human rights. Not even animal rights, but COMPUTERS!
It is no great injustice that someone's net access has been temporarily shut off because they were using a troublesome program.

Can you explain how in any decently designed network simply connecting a router can blow out the entire building's connection?

Microsoft already spends billions on R&D every year and even has an existing state of the art facility on their Redmond campus.
Nothing good has come of it in all the years of its existence.

Having a job comes in handy for saving for your retirement you know.
Kinda pathetic to end up as an old man who has no one to care for him and no way of doing so himself.
They both give us energy don't they?
