I seem to recall legislation being put into effect in the Republic of Ireland a few years back (when Clinton was in office), guaranteeing that private encryption keys could NEVER be demanded by the government. I might be mistaken, and don't have time to research this.
I use both heavily, R52 for work, MBP for play. I much prefer the build quality of the MBP, with the sole exception of the R52's keyboard -- which is just superb. The TP is a nice machine, very solid, well built, but heavy and to my eye a little ugly (too many primary colors on the keyboard and mouse area).
Ah, fair enough -- I didn't get that from the original, but that's a reasonable point. Hey, his and her showers are a good idea! My ex-wife used to hog the blasted shower and sink for an hour every morning, and woe betide me whenever I tried to gain access to the sink to shave, blocking her ultra-important application of face paint...
I'm sorry to hear about your loss and the breakup of your relationship. I just lost my brother, and my marriage collapsed, about two years ago. In all honesty, I was a mess, something like you feel now, and I was the problem, not the customer. I took a sabbatical, draining my 401(k) in the process, but I feel completely re-energised after spending three months relaxing, catchin up on home projects, etc. Good luck with everything. If you can afford or manage it, take some time off and talk to a grievance counsellor. You're going through a very difficult time.
In many states, employment is "at will"; i.e., the employer or employee can terminate the relationship at any time with no penalties. This does *not* mean that you can fire someone because, for example, they are gay or whatever -- that is discrimination and that isn't covered "at will".
Bzzt yourself. He said "I am a jelly doughnut". Whether or not it was clear from the context that he meant "I am a Berliner" is another matter. THAT is what I was disputing, not that the context made it obvious that he meant the latter.
Wow. All Java is used for these days is web apps? I beg to differ. In the past few years, I've worked on engineering applications that had a Swing front-end, EAI tools that tie together such disparate systems as Rs/6000s, AS/400s, SQL Servers, etc., and yes, a few web apps. J2EE is about much, much more than web applications.
Shouldn't that be Six Sigma Black Belt? It's a process for six nines quality (99.9999%), i.e., one part in a million has a fault. I think it came out of Motorola, right?

I guess wiseleo isn't that wise after all...
You can move the dock to be positioned vertically on either side of the display.
Christ, Linus has porked out... he's approaching blimp size.

Hey, I called that number... who's the girl? It wasn't funny. Just some number. Your ex?

Your contempt for your customers is astonishing. I hope I never work with you.
Good one! Subtle like a sledgehammer... or bad analogies.
Do you work for Ambient, Russ? You've mentioned them numerous times in your posts in response to this article.
Side topic; what does the fact that his home costs multiple millions of dollars have to do with anything? You sound starry-eyed, a little bit naive.
Technologies equated to rape and anal sex. Wow. Perhaps if you were raped and fucked up the ass you'd see the foolishness of these analogies.
This comment would be funny if it was... funny.

Did he threaten to embed his foot in your ass, too? Your old man sounds like a good guy.
John, I explained the meaning of "at will". I never said I disagreed with it.
I think this is a different guy from Dvorak of keyboard layout and other technical things...
For once I agree with the man... Notes . What a nightmare.

No, this is Slashdot, of course I didn't read the article! Sheesh. Levez la vache!

Cheers mate.
Good man rco3!!!! You have your head screwed on tight. Couldn't agree with you more.
