And not just in the tech world. You can be sued if you do CPR and crack someone's ribs if you're not certified. You can be prosecuted for going on someone's property if you hear screaming coming from the house. You can be prosecuted if you shoot an invader in your house (at least in the UK).
There's no use in being a "good guy" anymore. Just trying to help someone will get you in trouble anymore. If you're a guy and talk to a kid you don't know, everyone gives you strange looks. A while back a kid was trying to put books into one of those big metal boxes libraries have for returns, but couldn't quite reach the handle to open it. I opened it for him, and his mom, who was sitting in the car at the curb gets out and starts trotting at us. Books go in, he starts walking back, and she is giving me the evil eye while she grabs the kid and nearly drags him back to the car. All the while I'm holding my own books.
So why the fuck would I try and help anyone I don't know?
This may the only way he can save his ass in the future. He emailed them, so they know who he is. If he blasts it everywhere, all at once, the company will get the shit storm if they try to crack him. But definitely get a lawyer first.
Eh, I would have gone with "Where it ends." The winner took the usual method of invoking emotion with little substance. Back in high school I directed a play for a regional competition. The winner was a extremely badly done story about the Holocaust. The committee actually made up a new award that day for my group and privately apologized to me along the lines of "We could not not give them Best Performance." Yeah, I'm biased by that, but I still think too much artistic acclaim is laid at the feet of suffering, whether the piece was worthy or not.
No, I didn't deal with early Macs. After the Apple II, we went to the Amiga for years (ah, how I miss you). Didn't get back to Macs until '97 or so. I will have to admit my ignorance on this one.
How will dumping the organic stuff into a compost pile generate less greenhouse gases than if dumped into a landfill? I would assume that the organics would still decompose in the same way. Is the decomposition different in composting vs. landfills?
Many many years ago I read a study that determined that the only species that could go poof and it wouldn't matter was the mosquito. It wasn't this one, but it said more or less the same thing- http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100721/full/466432a.html
Then you release owls to eat the bats. If the owls get out of control, we'll need to GM a fox into a flying fox to eat the owls. Then GM a flying mountain lion to take care of the flying foxes. Not sure if you can GM a flying bear, though.
The idea that Hypercard was killed because of the "walled garden" idea is absurd. Way back then, there was no "walled garden" concept. This was way before Apple got their reputation for wanting to control everything.
Here's an easy answer- Jobs didn't want his people to keep working on something he thought was not useful. But conspiracy theories of "echos of a different world" and "mind amplifiers" sound so much sexier.
So are you saying that Joe User should not program for business, or not at all, even at home? I see the argument for business, and in the beginning you say it's OK for the home. At the end, though, you say Joe User shouldn't be making programs even when they can. Is the "even when they can" directed at business uses, or for even home users?
If you're talking just business, that's fine. If you're talking people at home fooling around, then you are being snotty, since everyone has to start somewhere.
The question is- would the guy in the article consider this to be an effective solution, or just an extension of email? Sounds like he wants real-time communication. I'm not knocking you, sounds like a nice solution overall for your issues, but more knocking the CEO guy for his tunnel vision.

Darn I also meant to say get a lawyer first, consult, and go from there. Me and my twitchy fingers.

Ah, but those clips are often from several cameras at different angles. The director, as such, was not so good at his, um, cinematography.

Not bad. Could have ramped it up with some more crazy critters.

I find it interesting that Apple users are a cult, while rabid Android supporters are just fine.
No, I don't have Apple stuff.

I don't know, just did a quick Google on Hyprecard linux.

Well, a fuckload of roads and bridges around were upgraded/repaired. I guess it depends were you live.
