But with closed source patches, you can dupe people for ten billion trillion centuries.
Fair enough. But this is less likely to happen for the same feeble reason open source has been slow to get off the ground in the business world. Liability. People generally tend to trust people with money. (Why? We're pretty stupid creatures I guess) People with money can be sued if something goes wrong. Generaly people could give two shits if a russian is deported and trown in jail, but if you can sue the pants off of somebody...well, $$ talks.
First of all. This 'patch' isn't too extrodinary. This is a plugin similar to the google bar. There is no reverse engineering, thus no threat of DMCA. It's really not a patch, it's more of a work around. It's also a publicity stunt.
Upon detecting a spoof, there should me no reason to go to the 'patch makers' website for info when it could be done within the plugin.
Second, it's a horrible precedent for closed source software. Let close source fixed close source. This may seem like a good thing(tm) for the OSS communtity, but you know damn well that not-so-good-intentioned 'patches' will soon follow. Post some source on a site, provide an EXE(that of course didn't come from the source) and you've fished in countless joe users before the real word is out that a copy cat has duped you. Too late for some.
I can only see bad things(tm) coming from this idea. Geeks know who and what to trust, but Joe User doesn't. And when joe user screws up it screws us all.
The sum: This may have a greater negative impact in the long run then the good one it was intended to have.
What's this 'bonus' thing you speak of? A new fandangled web-technolgy I presume?
Considering that many people don't get bonuses, I'd assume any amount would be much appreciated. Then again you may get in trouble both ways. If previous employers fed gobs of bonus money to one of your workers and the other never got a holiday bonus, then to one the bonus may be an insult while the other is joyfully gracious. There's only five of you and you're probably a pretty close group, why not ask them about there previous jobs holiday bonuses.
Actually, according to the info on that site and others, New Yok City (i'm new jersey also) has a magnetic field latitude of 50.6 and we need to be in the orange/red section to see it here.
I've been keeping an eye on the link you provided most of the day and the overall area is finally getting larger. It seems we're getting closer and may get a better shot of the show tommorow evening... The clouds may clear up. If they don't clear up here, the skies may be better a bit west....maybe a little road trip to the Poconos?
Also, according to this link , poeple as far south as Texas and Florida may be able to catch a glimps of the aroura.
It almost sounds like you are stuck in a Boadvision nightmare....nortiously a lousy system with even worse scalibility issues. It'll scale alright....at an exponential rate that any normal J2EE solution will scale. Either start designing and coding a re-write with better CMS third party tools while keeping a few people on the BV maintainence side or be prepared to drop a few $100k into hardware per every 2000 concurrent users. *cringes* Good luck.
Also, anyone who got suckered into a Broadvision sales pitch for a enterprise solution should be shot^H^H^H^H fired on first site.
mod parent up.. Very important for expempt employees to know. (in most cases salaried employees are exempt)
This is absolutely true. Docking pay will change your exempt status. In essence, if they dock pay, you will also be entitled to collect overtime if you work more then 40 hours according to the Fair Labor Standards Act. A grey area in the FLSA is also dockking pay for things such as doctors appointments. Though not clear in the FLSA, many employers do not dock pay this area b/c they risk changing your exempt status thus allowing your to collect overtime also. My company doesn't dock pay, but charges partial hours against our sick leave in such cases. Not quite sure what would happen if we've used up our sick leave though.
First, I've never played the game, but I've heard from several co-workers that it's addictive. One admits he's got a slight problem with it, but has enough self-control to still make it to work.
Bars have limits. Most bars have a closing time and many towns, cities, states, or the bar itself have laws/rules that prevent the sale of booze to those who are visibly intoxicated. (exceptions happen) This limits what the person without self control can do to him/herself, but the closing time and intoxicated rule generally don't effect the regular Joe.
It's and online games, yes? Why doesn't this game have a sanity check every eight hours or so and force the player offline for 15/30 minutes. Only since many people have a problem with this game. I'd venture to guess that the temporary boot offline would make more people happy then piss them off. Thoughts?
Keep the cellphones on vibrate and don't leave them on your desk while you go to meetings. Tell your friends and family that you are at work and not call every 10 minutes.
(if you work with me and leave your cellphone at your cube while in a meeting....I remove the battery after the second call. Yeah, I've pissed two people off, but I have 20 fans.)
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I saw nothing at www.sec.gov about execs dumping stock last weekend.
Every director, officer or owner of more than ten percent of a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the '34 Act must file with the Commission a statement of ownership regarding such security. The initial filing is on Form 3 and changes are reported on Form 4. The Annual Statement of beneficial ownership of securities is on Form 5. The forms contain information on the reporting person's relationship to the company and on purchases and sales of such equity securities.
I've tried the crest whitening strips....(~$30) didn't work so well. I tried the cheap goo in the mouth peice (~$15 - forgot the maker)....not so good. I then tried the rembrandt goo in the mouth piece (~$35). This stuff works pretty well on coffee and tobacco stains. Just one man's opinion.
Don't be ashamed to call yourself an American.... just be ashamed of being lumped in and classified with the bottom feeders of our country. You know, the small minority with the biggest mouths and wallets. It's a shame the the rest of the world sees us as assholes becuase of those very people I mentioned, when in fact, the majority of our citizens are decent, good-hearted people.
And yes, this is a twisted game. Please feel free to email the below and let him know how you feel.

It'll be out date with in a year.... Just like most OSS docs (if they exisit) and a great share of in house docs (if we could see them). Why do MOST of we software engineers have a horrible time writing and updating documentation?
After a few years of trying....
You're a geek so I must assume you consume coffee (or other sources of caffine) galore. Next time, cut it out of your system. Ditch the tighty whities and put some boxers on. Yeah, I know there are many other reasons conception can be difficult, but those are just two pieces of advice for the rest of the the readers here.
I'll have to agree with that. But what do you expect from the drag and drop developers sucked over from the VB world. When you see doButton1Click() suck 5000 records from a database in the event loop, you know your are in trouble.
Not a bad template...I'd change it a bit, but if you do use something similar to this template remember Balance in this case is an acronym and should be written as "BALANCE Act".
Silly requirements require silly solutions. I'd just send all doctors a polaroid camera, some thick white paper, and some crayons. Some color celluloid sheets for image processing and a loop for zooming. No installation, no development time, and about $60 a seat.
Do they still have the Sears and J.C. Penny's Holiday Catalogs? I remember STUDYING those damn things for hours and days; circling and intialing the things that peaked my interest. I never did get that train I wanted even though I circled it every year.
Some Toy's of yester year. Even the ones that are still around aren't really the same. Actually, can you just buy lego blocks anymore?

Tell me again why a company would 'knowingly' try to keep away potential customers?

From an apparent overdose?? I heard the same thing some 23 odd years ago. I'd be willing to bet that Jim Morrison uses Mandrake.
point 1) Bad Grammer in the article title. "A even..." Shouldn't this be "An even..."???
point 2) Another slashdot duplicate. How fucking pathetic are the editors here??? (there go my moderator points)
point 3) Last time we discussed this, most technical people wrote this off as a joke.. No I don't need to read this article, I need to see proof.
