None. Every major project i am aware of has known bugs, except the ones that are > 10 years old and have been debugged all that time (and not expanded).
However, 500 devs and 10M lines of code sounds alot like MS systems dev, except that it needs about 30M more lines of code.

Most of the admins i've met have been very commited to the well-being of their respective corps. It's usually the managers that refuse to spend needed money or demand that they do something illegal, or ignore the admin's input and buy whichever DB server goes with the drapes.
Of course, when everything turns to shit, it's the admin's ass.
Well, I'm not a Lawyer, but doesn't a non-compete have to be fairly specific as well as offer compensation for the time period? As in, a contract which prohibits me from working tech for 1 year after leaving my current employer had better include pay for that time period in orde to be valid?
How abouit, when a company steals from me, I sue for damages. Triple what they made from the code sounds reasonable. Of course, this works best when the code turns out to be profitable and i haven't signed away my rights.
Question: If PhilG owns 70% of the company, can't he, in court, withdraw the company as plaintiff and also, maybe, cut off the plaintiff's lawyers' money supply?
If you let that fly, then the employer should also compenstae you for using ideas you had while away from work. I think $25/waking hour should suffice; that's only about $1400/week
That's nice, AC. What we're looking for is a contract that doesn't put undue restrictions on what we write outside of work. No mention was made of GPLing all of the employer's code.
You're forgetting that trademark has a limited scope, and two entities can hold a trademark on the same thing, provided they're separated. Thus, you can have McDonalds, purveyor of crap food the world over, and McDonalds, a high class restaurant in Scotland.

You must be talking about one of those new-falgled electric sewing machines. The one i remember best had a foot rocker panel that powered the machine.
Now, can you tell an oil filter from the master brake cylinder?

I thought it was mainly intended to illustrate the absurdity of this law - I can tell you how to take down a 747, but decrypting DVDs is verbotten.
Money's nice and all, but is that all you really care about?

I thought it was Jon who was always ranting incoherently about the latest threat to society.
Sealand is not in international waters, it is itself a nation.
Not bloody likely. Even Star Trek has admins, so what makes you think they'll go away in real life?
A bidet.
You work at Microsoft, don't you?
What's so bad about that? After about a year, I usually upgrade anyway...
That's IT!!

And a winamp plugin, so it bounces to my beats.

It is trivially possible; it need only work for one A and you get that A before creating G
How else are you going to call a function, except through a pointer? You can't inline everything.
That works very well if you can control the format of the output. C++ doesn't
