Facebook is asking for $360,500,000 in damages because 4,500 users deactivated their accounts. That puts the value of a single Facebook account at just over $80,000.
Mark, if my "spam_from_facebook@" email and my home address ("1060 West Addison") were worth that much to you, you didn't need to set up a giant web site to get them. Just write me a cheque and I'll send you all of that along with a few more details of my made-up life.
Car-to-Car communication isn't helpful when 10% of them use FORD wireless communications, 10% have GM brand Safety wireless etc. etc.
Which is why it is absolutely necessary that the government immediately adopt OUR company's standard and pass a law requiring every car manufacturer to implement it. And, of course, license it. For a modest fee. Payable to us, of course.
After all, what's good for US is good for the country.
American entertainment would be very different today if publishers had the balls to stand up for their constitutional rights.
Yeah. If only they had the courage to follow the example of The Hollywood Ten, or their lawyer Bartley Crum who stood up for their constitutional rights and won big.
Well, "won" in the sense that they found themselves blacklisted, unable to work anywhere in the country, and in many cases they and members of their families were subjected to continued government harassment right up until their mysterious "suicides".
So, yeah, that kind of win. With that much fun to look forward to, can you even ask why the comics publishers caved in to the CCA?
You want to know who in the industry had the balls to stand up for their rights in 1957? Here's a tip, none of them were still in business in 1958, and you've never heard of any of them.
Just like if you get up in the morning to find that your window is broken, the BEST response is to pick up a shotgun and go kick in your neighbour's front door.
Remember, your first impulse is always right and you can never, EVER misunderstand any situation.
If he's company pays him to be on call 24/7, than he is on call 24/7.
There, fixed that for you.
He would be retarded to do what you say as it would result in a termination for cause (insubordination) rather than 'i quit'.
I was assuming that the original poster was working somewhere other than Walmart. If the notion of an employer placing some value on an employee is too difficult to grasp, just remind yourself that someone who was fired for refusing to work unpaid overtime would be in a position to bring legal action against their former employer. And many employers live in just as much fear of being called upon to account for their actions as you do of saying "No".
Once phase one is complete and AMBER alert bulletins are being sent via facebook they will be able to move on to phase two, where every bulletin will trigger the creation of a "Bring Back (name here)" group and send an invitation to everyone else in the world to join it.
I know the costs of support from your IT team will go up if you want them to support a smorgasborg of client phones, each with their own OS
I don't see what's so complicated about that. Perhaps you should just provide the helpdesk with a short list of useful phrases, in English, Spanish and Californian, like these ones:
"I'm sorry, I cannot support your iPhone. That's your problem."
"Lo siento, no puedo apoyar el teléfono android. Estás jodido"
"I ca't he`p ya wiff yo' cheap-ass Sizzimbian phone. Da's yo probbum."
"Are you calling me? On the phone? Then it works. What's the matter with you?"
Defining the role and scope of your IT support operations is key to ensuring success.
Want to reference an email in Gmail while on a phone call? Doesn't work. Want to look at Google Maps to give directions while you're on the phone with someone? Doesn't work.
It seems to me that the solution to the problem is to store your email and maps on the phone. That works just fine for me. Why do you need to complicate the network instead?
I typically keep that kind of information written down and sealed inside a plain white envelope labelled "Plain White Envelope" in my handwriting and placed in a secure location. If anything happens and someone needs access all they need to do is open that up and use the login information they find inside.
If the envelope is ever opened and I still work there then I need to do a security audit and change all of the passwords. If I don't work there any more then either I have been hit by a bus, or my manager has done something unimaginably stupid like letting me go and either way it's no longer my problem.
That helps me feel more comfortable about the business and if my replacement can't figure out how to use what I have left for him or her then I can be secure in the knowledge that the problem is with the hiring process and not my documentation.
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher.
And though they hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not reboot me
My brothers in arms.
If you choose to provide source through a written offer, then anybody who requests the source from you is entitled to receive it.
If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the source code later. When users non-commercially redistribute the binaries they received from you, they must pass along a copy of this written offer. This means that people who did not get the binaries directly from you can still receive copies of the source code, along with the written offer.
The reason we require the offer to be valid for any third party is so that people who receive the binaries indirectly in that way can order the source code from you.
Perhaps you went on to read the answer to the next question, which is not about providing the "written offer of source code" at all.

Don't you know? They're very important. And help with dating. Don't forget that they look good on your resume.

The name was very carefully chosen so that the project leaders could stand outside of Oracle HQ and scream "THIS IS NACHO LIBRE OFFICE!"
I read it on the Internet so it must be true.
Positive spin doesn't generate page-views or encourage outraged linking and redistribution.
Nah, the Comics Code was never there. In the new continuity the CCA was really just some guy on Bogata who made samosas for a living.
Yeah. If only they had the courage to follow the example of The Hollywood Ten, or their lawyer Bartley Crum who stood up for their constitutional rights and won big.
Well, "won" in the sense that they found themselves blacklisted, unable to work anywhere in the country, and in many cases they and members of their families were subjected to continued government harassment right up until their mysterious "suicides".

And it will become news once more as soon as someone figures out how to involve Twitter.
Don't worry. There's a pill you can take that will make that feeling go away.
There, fixed that for you.

Just practice saying these phrases and you should be able to manage after-hours calls a little better:
"Really? Uh huh? Okay, I'll get right on that when I get into the office tomorrow."
"Oh, there's an emergency? You'd better call someone about it. Let me know how it went on Monday."
"Great, send me an email explaining everything you just said and I'll take a look at it in the morning."
"You have reached your name here. I'm not in the office right now so please leave a message. *BEEP*"
I don't see what's so complicated about that. Perhaps you should just provide the helpdesk with a short list of useful phrases, in English, Spanish and Californian, like these ones:

That is also the single most efficiently compressible image in the universe, provided that you use LenPEG Compression of course.

It looks like everyone should just get an unlimited data plan from Verizon.
I can't see anything wrong with that idea.
You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner, it's a sailboat.

Heck yeah. If this metric thing is so popular or necessary, why hasn't the rest of the world adopted it?
I would have gone with At the Mountains of Madness, myself.
He already said he was using AT&T. Your fix was redundant.

Yup. You can't go wrong with Dire Straits.
Actually, this is what it says (emphasis my own):

It's more than that. Didn't you see the tiny origami unicorn on Charles Bolden's desk?
