Nova is not a common Spanish word (the word you mean is "nueva", the masculine would be "nuevo").
Nevertheless Nova is latin, so it is widely understood anyway. In this case the accent is in the first syllable ("nO-va" ), while in the sentence "no va" you have 2 accents, one on each word.
You can play with both, but no Spanish speaker would confuse one with each other.
Lets get food out of the way: don't like it, don't buy it. That simple really.
As for the personnel I can't smell them, I don't get that close to people across the counter mate. As for checking if they are sticky, lets just no go there...
Although I agree with you about the advertisement and bullshit bigbroterish nonsense, you can arrive just before the movie starts. If the cinemas are as empty as you claim you will have no problem finding a seat (grin).
Finally your home cinema does not have the definition and sound quality of the big screen (yet), so your protestations on quality alone are pretty hollow...
I know for certain that companies with headquarters in the US deal with Cuba.
But since their branches in other countries don't have a legal responsibility to report these transactions to the local government (and obviously don't believe in US extraterritorial laws) they do business with Cuba, they just keep quiet about it.
Kennedy dealt directly with the Russians, not with Fidel Castro, during the missile crisis.
This was akin to the US placing missiles in Turkey (a move that was stopped in reciprocation). Nobody was claiming that Turkey was threatening the USSR...
The rest of the world is far more cool headed about the term.
Even countries like Chile and Spain, where the Socialist party was actually made illegal, can deal with the "misfortune" of being governed by socialists.
That is the first question a team developing a game should ask themselves.
Most games answer this in a very rudimentary fashion, which simply pass no mustard with current artistic theory and orthodoxy (or even heterodoxy).
Of course it would be enough for a development team to declare their game as art, but it would require some artistic justification for such an statement to be taken seriously.
Many folks here are confusing glossy with artistic, clearly lots of art are glossy and look great, but that is not even the starting point form most art today.
As long as all games have an eye on the profit it will be very difficult for them to deliver. Learn a bit about most influential artists in history and a constant that emerges is that they, in general terms, disregarded money. From Orson Wells, Van Gogh to Mozart: money was important but it was not driving their call to arms. The same can't be said from game developers (many of whom are uncultured in the most basic aspects of literature, painting, music, film making and photography. The music in games for starters is a painful experience as an aesthetic experience, plot in most games is childish and one dimensional).
How many game developers are serious Opera buffs? Very few (of the few I know, I have never met any who are) Opera for example deal with similar restrictions (implausible plots, not enough time for proper character development, etc) nevertheless this art manages to deliver the artistic goods.
For games to become a serious art they will need to learn from other arts and they will need to be made by people that are cultured (this includes popular culture, but popular culture by itself is not enough anymore: the Beatles learned from Stockhausen for example).
Unless you have worked there and seen their code you really don't know this, and if you do and are talking about it here, most likely you are breaking an NDA or similar gagging agreement. So which one is it?
Does everybody have access to MS code using the shared source programs? (let me answer: No).
As for mentioning leaked code in BitTorrent as an equivalent to properly open source code, well, I will not comment, the embarrassment is on you for even mentioning it.
Banks (all the major ones worldwide), oil companies (both in the service side and producers), education institutions, government agencies and uncountable private companies in many other industries.
None of them have gone through all the code at once for sure, but for example one company I know about found problems with the "top" utility, checked the code, fixed it, and the guy that found the problem was given permission to release the fix.
The same company found a major problem with a very important infrastructure service around 5 or 6 years ago. The software provider tried to help, but the only developer that really knew anything about the bit of code relevant to the problem was always too busy doing something else, so the client company had to redesign its whole regional infrastructure in order to accommodate for the shortcomings of the software.
If that company had have access to the code it had enough money to hire 2 or 3 programmers full time for a couple of months, in order to sort out the problem (it would have been cheaper).
This effect accumulates and benefits *everybody*, the benefits are based in user need rather than in the needs of a software provider.
I have read most messages in this thread so far and the only thing I find is vague recommendations but nothing solid.
What we could all benefit from is:
- Specific book titles.
- Specific websites.
- Specific training (go on, if you are providing such training people want to hear from you).
The amount of vaguery posted so far tells me that people with a clue about security may not frequent this site or that simply there is no material out there.
After receiving such a rep[y I would make sure to remind the CTO (or the Queen of Sheba, I don't care how important somebody is if what I am trying to do is the right thing to do) that he may be legally obliged to keep the information safe.
That brings back the money to implement the necessary security upgrades.
The UK has mandatory unemployment insurance, health care, maximum weekly hours and minimum wage, and although there are examples of companies paying less than they should, this practice is not widespread.
The key is the legal systems that mostly works, thus companies know they could be sued, but also British to their credit shun corruption in general (in Latin America people that are not corrupt are considered by some stupid).

It is vastly superior ...

Because "that" was made with an artistic purpose in mind, Tetris wasn't.
You can ask the developer of Tetris and artistic considerations were the last of his worries.
The community includes the likes of IBM, Sun, Red Hat, Cisco, Nokia and many others.
Anybody suggesting amateurism would be lying by their teeth.
How do you know MS documents that well?

In my previous job the people fixing problems where not even in the same country as the data centre.
We had a few people pulling cables and the like, but they were lowly paid people that were not doing any work with the devices.
Him: Yeah, babe, and now you can tell your friends that your Valentine's Day card runs at 14 MHz.
Her: Really?! Thanks sweety! Do you think we could put an Arduino in one of this?
They are delivered by electronic tokens or even by SMS to your mobile.
If an employee dies of a heart attack all your sensitive information is stored centrally.
Laptops should not be more than thin clients nowadays, whose only purpose is to access data over an encrypted link to your corporate servers.
Any information stored in a laptop should not be vital or even important to the running of any firm.
After receiving such a rep[y I would make sure to remind the CTO (or the Queen of Sheba, I don't care how important somebody is if what I am trying to do is the right thing to do) that he may be legally obliged to keep the information safe.

Make it personal, it never fails.
They are services, they run on top of the OS.
What may be slimmed down is either a distro (bad idea) or what is installed (great idea).
From a security point of view to start LDAP, CUPS and MySQL in every machine is nonsense.
Now go to bed, I'll send your hot tea with the nurse.

No, like SUVs, game consoles, and too much food that makes you fat.
Many people have been against consumerism at a "gut feeling" level. Now we know why: such levels of consumerism are completely unsustainable.
ANd is a little fortune in those countries.
Sell or put in storage all of your stuff.
Then buy whatever you need (second hand is best) in your new home.
$40000 in a move? Gosh, I spent £2000 moving from Malaysia to the UK, and I moved all my furniture mind you...
For some of us the world is our oyster and can deal with such situations.
