I'm working on a fairly large project as the lead architect. My hours sometimes hit 200 a month (it may not sound like a lot, but it is when the average is 160). The only reason I don't mind is because I get paid the same amount for every hour I work, and not for any hours I don't work. Working and not getting paid for it is for chumps.
So there are scholars that think it was received from heaven? Are these the same scholars that have yet to make their mind up on unicorns, fairies and astrology?
I would think that you cannot believe in those things and be considered a scholar.
Length is all that matters for passwords. You're better off with "thatswhatshesaid" (26 ^ 16) than "B4c0nL0v3r!" (72 ^ 11).
Agreed completely. It annoys me when a site or app forces me to have a number, a mixture of case or some other stupid rules that make a password difficult to remember. A password like "welcometothehotelcalifornia" or "onawarmsummersevening" are easy to remember, quite secure, and don't need numbers or capitals.
My bank restricts the password to be a maximum of 8 characters long. It's ridiculous.
I run Gentoo on all of my computers and I update the OS probably once every couple of months. I take the other updates daily. I tend to shy away from updating the kernel unless there is a compelling reason to do it. An "emerge --sync" followed by "emerge -uDN world" doesn't equate to an OS update.
We need to drop the gender specific pronouns and use generic ones. That would be a great start in diluting the imagined difference between people of different genders.
Agreed completely. Nobody is forcing anyone to use their service. Ifr you don't like the terms of the service, then don't use it. It's not rocket science.
Using a VPN in this regard is not copyright violation (at least, not by the end user). I connect to a Netflix server using a Netflix account that is being paid for, I ask the server (via my client software) to start streaming me a movie and their server starts streaming it. If they were not allowed to stream it to me then they are breaking the rules, not I.
If you are not permiited to give me something that you possess and I ask you for it, who is at fault if you then give it to me? Surely you would be, not I.
IP address is not a sensible way to tell where someone is. I think Netflix use this mechanism because they are happy for people abroad to pay them a monthly fee to access their service. Why wouldn't they be?
A company can't do this with anything else we buy, so why should it be able to for digital content? If I buy a pair of jeans there is no way someone can stop me from taking them to another country.
The only rule being broken here is that you have to lie about your address when you sign up for US Netflix. That's not a criminal issue, it's a civil one.
The sooner companies realise that IP addresses are not "in" a country the better. IP addresses are not designed to betray your physical location, and nor should they.
Religion is natural reaction to our fear of dying. Until we find a way to make us immortal on earth, there will always be belief in the afterlife.
Belief in an afterlife doesn't mean there is an afterlife. People who cannot imagine not existing haven't thought hard enough about it. What was if like before your birth?
I think that belief in an afterlife as a way to make us feel better is intellectually dishonest. It's also an extremely dangerous belief as is evident from history and current events.
She should have bought her own phone for after hours and left the work phone at home. No employer can force you to carry their phone when you are not working.

I would suggest the number of views his YouTube video will get will make this well worth it. And good for him.
People like you bring your problems on yourself. I've never had so much "fun" working that I wanted to do it 7 days a week, 12 hours a day.
I could think of a number of jobs where working that much would be awesome. None of them are in IT.

This would only apply to one country anyway. The rest of us wouldn't be affected. Land of the free indeed.

After years of union with the same person, isn't that normal to want another body? Isn't that a natural and physical need?
No, I don't think it is. At least, not from my point of view. I'm married and would never ever consider cheating.
There's no such thing as "reverse racism" and "reverse sexism". Racism is racism, and sexism is sexism.

I don't think applying such updates counts as an OS update unless you're installing a new kernel.
Fahrenheit? Do they still measure the distance in fathoms? Force in pounds?
The KDE mailing lists do this.

Homeopathy today, religion tomorrow! Working towards reason is reasonable and away from it is, well, unreasonable.

Remove government provided welfare. This would encourage people to only reproduce if they can afford to provide for their offspring.
New Zealand?
How do laws that are blantently unconstitutional make their way into the law books?

Sure, but I have my own phone and only I decide what gets installed on it.
Exactly. There should still have been mention that the required app had that functionality.
Honestly, I'm really hoping she wins this. Businesses have far too much invasion as it is, and it's way past time that ceases.
Surely she should have left the phone at home. The employer didn't force her to tack this tracking device with her everywhere she goes.
