Fortunately for you, I don't think they will have much of a leg to stand on. Under Texas law, you can quit or they can terminate you for any reason without notice. IANAL, but I don't believe there's much legal recourse for them, unless you maliciously damaged their systems before leaving.
It definitely sounds like some clueless asshole trying to inflict emotional distress, so counter-sue.
If I remember correctly from government classes way back when, fascism and socialism aren't that far apart on the political spectrum when you think of it as a continuum.
is the ability for a system like this to create new classes of crimes and criminals out of normal law-abiding people. Just think--DA's around the country are always looking to increase their conviction rates, so they start mining data and looking for trends. The next thing you know, there are new laws on the books restricting freedoms, including
petty vices
how you dress (think hijab)
where you shop
what you wrote in your blog
what you think
who you associate with professionally and personally
who you voted for last election
Each of these areas has been encroached upon by our new Socialist-Bush government.
I for one, DO NOT welcome our new socialist overlords!
You obviously never used one of the Acer Ferrari's. Aside from the bling factor, the one I had 2 years ago was wicked fast, and had a cooling fan powerful enough to suck a piece of paper into the intake manifold, which nearly caused the system to meltdown and burned up a hard drive over a weekend.
That reminds me of the hum of the flyback transformer in TV sets from when I was a kid. I can't hear them any more, but I can hear that mp3. That's pretty annoying.
Critical systems are firewalled off or completely isolated. Some of the systems on our contract got hacked. Some of the targeted NASA systems that are publicly accessible house engineering drawings and such that must be available to a variety of people and places. Incidently, most of the hacked systems were running Windows.
small pool of engineers -- you could probably even find people do do it on a non-paid volunteer basis
And not only that, but since many patent reviewers are overworked and obviously underqualified in certain disciplines, a neutral patent review board should be setup by the plethora of companies submitting them. Delegates would be assigned based on qualifications and discipline. It would then be like Congress--no obvious patents granted.
Given that a lot of OSS projects are contributed to/maintained by EU developers, it's only a matter of time before those interfaces become mainstream in the U.S.

Iraqi Man 1: Would you get a load of the slit in her burka! I think I saw an eye!
Iraqi Man 2: Oh yeah, baby, put it on! More burka!
Iraqi Man 3: Halalalalalalalala...BOOM!
governement of the people, for the people and by the people?
It seems like all we hear about lately is new laws to benefit big corporations.
Fuck 'em.
Is it just me, or is "BAD RENTER" an anagram for "BARTENDER"?
Obviously, the decline in bees corresponds directly with the global decline in pirate populations.

All that matters is that there are pills that give me erections for hours on end.
You need pills for that? Sheesh, what's this country coming to?
Possibly TWA Flight 800, which went down due to mysterious circumstances off the coast of New York in July '96.
It's so good to see that the delegation of priorities regarding Human Rights has now moved Robot one notch above Dark Skinned Human.
Duh, Big Business can't make money selling "Dark Skinned Humans".

Also, how do you avoid choking on satan's cock?
Duh! We all know that the Devil is a woman!

In other words, it's a popup window that says "Your computer is infected with spyware. Click here to buy our spyware remover!"
Smile when you say that, or you'll be pronouncing it "Zee" too!
If they didn't want to go extinct they could have spent all that time developing their own space program and left.
Duh, they did!
The Brazilians, Chinese, and Vietnamese haven't had a whack at my personal information yet!
Simputer comes to mind...

Where else are they going to get the next generation of 1337 Nigerian 419 scammers?

I hope it wasn't an ancient encryption device. There's nothing like being convicted of a felony for figuring out how something works...

This may also set new precedents for libel in print. Newspapers and publishers can now simply claim a piece was submitted by a third-party...
Hopefully, it's the Microsoft EULA!
