To answer your question. You avoid a crap load of issues with the law by not getting into an argument with a cop. As a civilian it's not enough to know your rights. You also need to read the person you are dealing with. If the officer in question doesn't appear to be reasonable you need to bend within reason until you can fight back on neutral ground. The minute the officer goes on the offensive and arrests you, you are in trouble and your credibility drops significantly in court (I speak from experience).
This is why body CAMS on cops are so critical. I don't believe there is a better way to deter corruption and abuse of power.
Wait a second now. Don't put all programmers in the same bucket. Those who think that way will push keys 8 hours a day until they retire. Real programmers are very knowledgeable in the field they work, BUT THEY AREN'T EXPERTS.
As a programmer analyst I actually learned to do people's jobs so I can optimize/automate as well as reduce the number of mistakes. I've automated multiple engineering tasks throughout the last 6 years. Some of these tasks required hours of engineers pounding information into my small little brain. The results is that the knowledge I collected is now valuable in real life.
GM and Chrysler didn't always make crappy products and because the average lifespan of a vehicle is about 10 years it takes a decade just to get customers discouraged from buying their products. It probably takes another 5 - 10 years for the company to start suffering and the bailout was proof the companies were no longer attracting customers which is why they are re-inventing themselves.
As for MS, if someone truly had a solution to replace them they would had been replaced if their products were crap. I keep hearing people calling MS products crap but yet nobody explains why it is. Billions of dollars are invested YEARLY in R&D surrounding MS and their APIs so I'm not sure why professionals continue to buy their products if they are crap. Is it because the alternatives aren't viable or require a higher level of expertise?
Sure, MS like every other product out there isn't perfect but clearly they are perfect enough for 95% of the PC base. The significant increase in revenues for their business division is also sending a clear message that businesses trust them more than ever.
In this case successful at selling a lot of what they offer at a large profit. Products that aren't good don't sell or quickly get replaced. GM and Chrysler experienced this first hand.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Look at what you are getting and how much you pay for it before calling it a sham. In 1990 you wouldn't have dreamed to have what you have now and this for a misally $30 / month. Caps are a non issue since most providers offer upgrades to increase the cap at a very reasonable rate (call them and you'll find out). If you don't think your current cost for information is reasonable then try to live without it.
Nobody is obligated to offer low cost entertainment. It's the government's responsibility to ensure the cost of service remains reasonable and as far as I can see they've done a good job because my internet bill has not increased since 1999 and my service is 7 times faster than it was in 1999.
If large companies are so bad why do we still buy their products and services? It's too easy to point at successful people and call them liars, crooks and hypocrites. At the end of the day the biggest hypocrite is the one that continues to buy their products.
1.5% seems reasonable. The per capita consumption is expected to drop for households but increase as EVs are introduced. Solar panels are becoming a more appealing approach as it can be installed on wasted space and provide localized distribution which also reduces the infrastructure cost and the household electricity bill. It's not unreasonable to think that within 20 years you'll be able to run a household on solar power. The evolution in energy storage is continuing to evolved and even the solar panels themselves are getting better. The cost per KW of solar panel has gone down by more than 50% since 2005 and their KW/sqft has also increased. There is hope in combining all these technologies to satisfy all our daily requirements.
I don't know one company that can go down the drain nobly. It's part of human nature. When one drowns it brings other down with it. If you know your losing you house no matter what you do you'll stop making payments. That is evil from the bank's point of view so everybody is just as evil as the same companies we call evil. Evil companies are made up of the same people that talk on/.
Actually it's not that simple. I have yet to see one positive argument go towards ANY large corporation that finds success. I would bet money that if Linux went as big as MS or Apple that it would immediately be called evil because it would no longer cater to the 1%.
You may want to consider looking at the actual numbers. Natural energy creates far more skilled labour jobs than coal mining. http://www.sourcewatch.org/ind...
Looking at employment only, the US would benefit more from building more windmills than to continue running coal mines. Again, only considering employment.
It seems really easy for people to discard any attempt at change (Bunch of pessimistic keyboard warriors). China currently has major pollution issues that directly affects the health of it's population. It is in the best interest of THEIR people to control the issue. The simplest solution is to employ existing technology to control the pollution levels. Nobody is asking them to shutdown coal plants but instead retrofit them with emission technology that already exists.
You can never be too late as long as the market is still there. You just need an innovation that puts you back in the spotlight (something MS has done very few times in it's history).
What about hating lunatics? I think there is a time and place for dramatic responses and I could point to a few groups that still exist today such as the KKK and the Baptist church members that picket at gay people's funerals. Those people should not have a voice. They've proven long ago they bring nothing but sadness and dismay.

This country and many others need CAMS on people of power. They have too much power to not be monitored during their shift.

My understanding of this article is more about preventing our own nukes from being used against ourselves.
You could say the same about all the old ways of thinking:
- Gay haters
- Race haters
- MS haters
It will all die with the passing of generations.

You can reboot the server during work hours?
I assume you mean 12Mbs. Not 12Mbs per hour.
Can you provide specifics? Provider, plan...
In this case successful at selling a lot of what they offer at a large profit. Products that aren't good don't sell or quickly get replaced. GM and Chrysler experienced this first hand.
Yes but that is wholesale which doesn't include service as part of the price.
That was always the problem with the MCSE. It didn't actually test your troubleshooting skills like the CISCO hands on tests.

That's why I said read the parent. His comments were in the context of large companies that have success.
If large companies are so bad why do we still buy their products and services? It's too easy to point at successful people and call them liars, crooks and hypocrites. At the end of the day the biggest hypocrite is the one that continues to buy their products.
Read the parent and following responses.

I did mention that "LOOKING AT EMPLOYMENT ONLY", the US would benefit more from building more windmills...
Thanks!

I have long ago concluded that on Slashdot success = evil.
What about hating lunatics? I think there is a time and place for dramatic responses and I could point to a few groups that still exist today such as the KKK and the Baptist church members that picket at gay people's funerals. Those people should not have a voice. They've proven long ago they bring nothing but sadness and dismay.
My 2 cents.
