Actually, if you read the submission closely, he was convicted for breaking his probation (which states you have to keep a clean nose for the entire time, even a trespassing charge is a no-no). Though doubling the original sentence is retarded.
Really? All the cooks and cooking shows I've ever seen that deal with hot peppers say it's a myth. Looks as if I'm going to have to write to the Mythbusters.
That might work for preventing the spread, but the way that capsascin(sp) works is by activating all the receptors on the nerve. That's where the "heat" comes from, sensory overload.
Didn't we already try this with RealID? Something that was uniformly rejected by almost every state in the Union? What's going to make it different now?
And no, I just ate dinner so I do not want to read the article. I am afraid it will just make me sick.
Those are good theories as to why there aren't a standardized infrastructure, but I feel they are very weak when considering the OP has just been told they want a company-wide standard on electronic document handling system.
If they are wanting to standardize on one product here, there is a good chance they will be wanting to (though I don't know why they haven't already) standardized the rest of their IT infrastructure.
You can standardize on certain aspects of your infrastructure without running into the problems you posited, though personally I think it would be difficult. Lets hope the cost/benefit analysis has been done already.
If they have at least standardized on OS, this will be much easier. Otherwise there could be a nightmare in the making no matter what route the OP finally decides to go.
Is the company the CA for these documents? If so, what is the process to getting a signing certificate? Will they be using personal certificates? What is the security level of the workstations? The division LANs? What about the company-wide WAN?
Also, there is (supposedly) a learning curve between OOo and MSO, what's the standard in each division (I'm not current on MSO so I don't know if MSO supports any OOo formats)? What are the majority of users using?
This all goes back into having a common IT infrastructure with one IT department managed from HQ with local IT departments at each division. I think any attempt to do otherwise would be the road to madness.
...but everyone is ignoring the pink elephant in the room.
No common IT infrastructure? I'd tell them to attack that before implementing anything new company wide. Without a common IT infrastructure you'd have to get a poll for exactly what each division has (does each division have a common infrastructure, I hope so) and pray that each division has standardized on something whether it be *Nix, Windows, Mac or whatever. Once you have that, getting an electronic document handling system will be much easier as you'll have only to worry about file formats from one office suite (and possibly PDFs).
As for signing of documents, PDF is the only format that handles that internally, though I guess you could get people to get their own PGP keys, though I think the hassle would not be welcome.
To summarize: 1. Get company to implement standard IT infrastructure company wide 2. Get IT department to implement EDHS 3. ??? 4. Profit! --- very important to companies, apparently less so to/.ers:p
I know that, but calling 'gross copyright infringement' is nothing more then a marketing tactic (which has worked) to paint copyright infringers in the same light as those who go out on the high seas and steal stuff from ships when it isn't even the same thing. In piracy you steal a physical product. In gross copyright infringement you COPY something and then share that copy. The original product (legally bought or not is not the case here) is still able to be sold for fun and profit. Unfortunately the MPAA, the RIAA and other such organizations have yet to join the Intarwebs in selling their products at competitive prices.
No, administrative wage garnishments are good, and afaik, judgements don't go down on your credit report. I cannot completely confirm this as I haven't seen my credit report in a few years.
With enough manpower, I don't see how it couldn't be done. China has an immensely large labor pool to choose from, as do the other nations involved. Get the route marked out using GPS and each country puts a HUGE effort into it. For at least as long as their leg of the project takes, it will be an economic boon that will create other jobs (refueling depots (if the train is non-electric), loading/unloading depots, etc.) that will last into the long term.
So these children should be allowed to run into the road and die horrible deaths? Or how about not go outside at all and suffer all day inside a stuffy building?
I'd rather high risk children like this be protected in some manner than not at all.

Thanks, though I think they used whole milk and not the watered down crap I'm forced to drink.
Fixed that for ya.

I bet I could eat it in 25 minutes without any liquids for an additional 5 minutes after. BRING IT ON!

Well, looks like all the DNA jokes are now -1 off topic
Well played /., well played.

Why open the mail client when the page already has a built in "send page via email" function?
Either way, I'm giving this plugin a test spin to see how it works.

Only if you have readily available certificates.

While a very good point, it would be nice when I'm at a form trying to send someone an email from a web page (say for an article I want to share).
If they did a password check on the add-on, or had a list of trusted sites (with an unalterable block on untrusted sites), that would be even better.
Thank you, I will go to bed a smarter man than I woke up. (: Checking out the link now.

It does? Prove it.
Really? I didn't realize that YouTube (and Google) was illegally taking physical goods from ships at sea.
No, what YouTube (and Google) was allegedly involved in was gross copyright infringement. Quit calling it piracy already.

Maybe I should move to California. I get TONS of spam. I could pay off all my debt and get my super-awesome computer. (:
Federal student loans and, at least in my state (afaik), court judgments are exempt from bankruptcy declarations.
At least for judgments against you, that's actually good. You shouldn't get a fresh start if you have a court-ordered judgment against you.
If I was treated like that, I wouldn't blame ya (and I still don't, it's completely wrong to steal like that).
Still, I've not once been overcharged.
I don't know. With a high speed rail system it no long is such a hard thing to do (just don't do it in winter).
With enough manpower, I don't see how it couldn't be done. China has an immensely large labor pool to choose from, as do the other nations involved.

Non-autistic kids are more likely to listen to a command to stop.
And yes, if they are that close to a busy road they should fence in the whole playground.
So these children should be allowed to run into the road and die horrible deaths? Or how about not go outside at all and suffer all day inside a stuffy building?
I'd rather high risk children like this be protected in some manner than not at all.
