Whoever thought it would be a money saver to play with DST did not foresee the debacle that is currently being played out trying to push updates to Outlook and Blackberry users here.
I see what you're getting at, but a company doesn't consider the debts of the applicant when determining whether to offer employment. Even if they wanted to, it would be illegal, but in the end it's irrelevant.
The job carries a salary value that's advertised when the company goes looking for staff. I don't know if it's the same where you work, but here I get paid for the job I do, not for the person I am.
Turkey did away with the death sentence over 20 years ago. Probably before you were born. I'll start reading further writings of yours when you start presenting facts, and not made-up statements parading as facts.
it doesnt matter what purpose for the site is generally used or not - just say something that is not to the liking of the state, and voila, all is gone.

According to the Turkish Constitution (article 66), they mean the same thing: "everyone bound to the Turkish state through the bond of citizenship is a Turk"
Not the same thing at all - giving directions infringes no copyright. A better parallel you could have used would be you photocopying your map and giving it to me. Depending on local laws and how much of the map you copied, this may be illegal.
Or going the other way, similar to giving directions but not the map itself, it would be you humming or whistling the entire CD for me. Depending on how badly you whistle, that could be enough to seal the end of our friendship.

It is confusing to consider ownership of something that you cannot pick up and cart away. Some older civilisations considered land 'unownable', as we belong to the land and not the other way round.
Just because something is trivial to do, does not make it right. In your example it would depend on what kind of file you'd like to copy and give to your friend. If I were your friend I wouldn't consider you an asshole for not giving me rips of the CDs you had bought. If I did, that would make me an asshole too.
Hardly random though, is it? You have a CD from Sony (spit...), you know who the rights holder is. It's not random at all.
As for the functions argument, there are plenty of laws telling you what functions of many devices you are not allowed to use in certain circumstances. That gun you legally own and shoot? Gosh darn it there are laws telling you how you can use it. Your car also has conditions around it's ownership. Your property/real estate, hell even your money is restricted in how you can use it.
Just because you own something does not mean there are no laws restricting it's use. It can be absurd in some cases agreed, but when it comes to law that's to be expected.
The absurdity here I suppose is that it should be perfectly legal for you to copy the file. Just not to play it. Unless of course you live in Canada, in which case copy away, and play all you like. Another absurdity - and it's all down to law again.
It may be no bad thing to severely shorten the protection period of IP, and that will in turn bring a radical change to the way mass entertainment is produced. For good or bad, we cannot know just yet. Be careful what you wish for.
My parents taught me that sharing things that were mine was a good thing. I never tried to share the chocolate bar on the store's shelf that no-one had bought yet, nor did I share next-door's toys.
If you don't own something, you can't share it, IMO. If IP can be owned, then the owner gets to decide who to share it with.
Of course, if someone shares their cookies with me, I am free to take one of the cookies I was given and pass it on.
To get who's logged in, it's a little easier than that if it's a Windows corporate environment and you know a username/password that has domain priviledges.

This is a tricky thing and different for different types of work. A long time ago when I worked...... before iPods, USB memory sticks and msn/hotmail/yahoomail? Yegads, without those morale boosting playthings in the '80s and before, it's a wonder more people didn't top themselves.
I call BS on the morale viewpoint. I work in IT and cope quote well without being catered to my every entertainment whim, as do my colleagues and the users we support. We have a great working atmosphere, one of the best I've enjoyed, and none of it due to technology.

That would be Gord Smith. I know his brothers, Joe and Frank.
I have no mod points, else I'd mod you up.

So to answer the GP. Yes. Yes, it is.

How does someone's education before joining Microsoft affect Bill's bottom line?
None other than Bill Gates has spoken out against tighter immigration policies in the US.
None other? I'm pretty sure other people have also spoken out against tighter immigration policies in the US.

You mean like online gambling?

5. Every character output to a screen is accompanied by a bleep.
6. Every computer operator can touch type perfectly and generate half a page of relevant text by pressing the same four keys over and over.
7. No-one ever has their car stolen despite leaving it unlocked and with the keys in the ignition.
The only unrealistic part is that we have to believe that everyone coordinates their bathroom breaks for the commercials.
You expect me to go pee while Jack is saving the world? Man, we *all* coordinate our bathroom breaks for the commercials!
No kiadding. It's enough to drive you carazy.

There are plenty of Type 1 signed bands.

So this would be exactly the same as US democracy, but with an added buffer?
