If the company threatened to call the RCMP unless he signs the NDA, then either:
1. He is a criminal, and the company conspired with him. or 2. The company extorted an agreement with him with no compensation, based on false premise of his actions being a crime. or 3. The company extorted an agreement with him with no compensation, by threatening to commit perjury.
No matter what his actions are, the company either committed a crime or owes him a compensation for NDA, or both. And that does not include even include the company's role in events that caused the college to expel him.
Who were these customers who made McDonald's think a milkshake needs to be of such a consistency that you have to use an industrial suction pump to get it through the straw? I want to go back in time and kick them all in the nuts.
In my wildest dreams I don't envision the time when the name of Java programming language will be be whispered in fear by its former users who are permanently relegated to the jobs that have no effect on the rest of society.
Geico has an ad campaign that proclaims its services to be accessible by idiots. It has "cavemen", scruffy-looking guys in modern attire, being offended by the phrase "a caveman could do it".
I believe, I have to bring to everyone's attention one uncomfortable fact -- a suicide of a person was sufficient to bring important issues to the attention of public and institutions when everything else utterly and completely failed.
Now, everyone who ever repeated anti-suicide formulas about suiide being inherently cowardly, selfish, pointless, etc. act, is welcome to kiss his dead ass. While it's true that most suicides result in nothing remarkable, so do most lives.
On a lighter note, Aaron Swartz is now both a hero and an hero.
Civil disobedience (as opposed to demonstraion or petition) is an act of breaking a law that is intended to bring attention to the seriousness of injustice that is being protested. Usually the fact that civil disobedience is considered acceptable for a large number of people means that the act is either supposed to be lawful, or is not a serious crime, however at the moment when it is performed it is illegal, and people who perform it accept the consequences of it.
It's a description, and it's valid. Calling it "refactoring" is just as justified as calling the act of adding odd numbers to even ones "oddification".
It's called re-implementation that preserves interface. "Refactoring" is a stupid term made by stupid people who like to create new words for every trivial thing they see, because they don't realize that there is an infinite number of those trivial things, and their stupid new words pollute language.

You wish!
Different species.
Not human races, ethnicities or societies (or any other groups within the same species).

US tried exactly that with Cuba.

Species do not fight for habitat between themselves, unless habitat is very, very crowded.
Moar liek holy fail.

What? It's less idiotic than some things American politicians do.
^^ I am twelve, and what is this?
Oh wow, Microsoft astroturfers are busy today.
CMYK aside, horrible brain-dead UI aside, GIMP just doesn't work as well for most of the people I hang with who call themselves artists.
Neither is actually in any way related to reality. Bonus for starting with CMYK myth.
People complain more about the GIMP's interface than just about any other piece of software, why would that be?
Astroturfing.

There is only one rule -- don't replace better code with worse code.
Seriously, it's called refactoring.

Anal stretching seems to comply with this rule with popularity of goatse.
lol
like the old Soviet system it trumpets inputs (she works so hard) instead of outputs (he got the right answers).
Your idea of "Old Soviet system" is entirely based on anti-Soviet propaganda.
The implementation does not implement the specification -- F.
No, however the fact is, labeling implies warning, and it applies in both cases.
There is no problem that Sharepoint cant solve.
"Not enough money is spent on worthless consultants" is a problem that Sharepoint solves just fine.
If Jews are really so safe, why tremendous resistance to putting a simple yellow star on the clothes?
