Quiet! I don't care who was touching who! Don't make me come back there! Quiet Down! This is Mutiny! Mr. Spencer, see them all hanged! Ahh the family road/water trip
What sort of maritime law applies once you go in the water? What sort of strange "Boat-on-dry-land" laws exist in the UK (that once might have applied to dry dock, but might apply to the car)
Thats funny.. "Keep the car on the road by tilting the phone", how about putting the damn phone down and keeping your car on the road by using the steering wheel instead of chatting about what jimmy said to janey, or playing tilting games...
I told someone no, I wouldn't create a system that used a Social Security # for a login, and a badge number for a password... no no no.
Had to do a sit down with my boss, their boss, and their boss... and I explained that 1) that information is definitely NOT secret, and 2) it was unethical to use information like that... it could compromise other aspects of the employees lives.
and I got fired... for "breach of ethics". apparently "pandering to a customer's silly whims and tantrums" is an article of ethics in that crowd.
I would have assumed that this was a six degrees attack on sensitive structures, given the back doors. Flood the network with viruses, and some moron will eventually lead you to the computer you've been actually targetting.
Our kids recognize certain words are inappropriate depending on context.. but very few words are "Bad"... in the same way that kids aren't "bad" when they disobey adults, they just made a poor choice (or just want attention)... "bad" words implies the words should never be used like some Victorian thought... I can think of some racial slurs that would DEFINITELY fall under the "bad" category, but only because of their extended implications.
Ahh... we get to have more and more CLIPPY telling us we are writing a personal letter, when we are trying to do our project scope! Wow, can't wait till I have a robotic clippy trying to shave my fish whenever I put my shoes on! (Yes, clippy is the ultimate in non-sequetur advice!) Never underestimate stupidity, esp if someone coded it.
James Burke, in "Day the Universe Changed" (or was it the original "Connections") detailed an incident in New York where the SAME DAMN THING HAPPENED about 30 years ago.. this switch tripped, and shunted power to here, and so on until things got overloaded, and kept shunting power up the chain until all of New York was in the dark. Funny, seems no-one learned their lessons... or the people who learned those lessons were forced into early retirement. Humans make me sad.
You still own all copyrights to your work under the GPL, and can "multi-license" your own work (provided it is not based on GPL'ed work).. so if you built a driver for some such video card and it was completely your own, you could "dual-license" it.. the customer would choose the license. if SCO don't like the GPL license - they can choose the other one, where you fleece the crap out of them.
All ye kernel authors, instead of trying to fight SCO, just give them a deadline to license your kernel submissions, provide them a separate "binary only license" on top of the GPL license, and charge them $10 for every license they sell that includes your intellectual property. If they don't pay up, then cancel their license to use your part of the kernel.
My wife had an interesting idea, Could it be possible that transgenderism is caused by a female (or male) twin stuck in the others body? A simple sample or two of DNA from the brain and... um.. genitals would let you know if transgendered people are in fact chimeras.
I will publish a book called "How to oppress the people", online, in a Wikipedia format. In that book I will describe and detail plans and methods for oppressing free speech, in a simple ho-to format. I will then sue any and all legislators that infringe upon my IP by writing blatent copies of my ideas.
Messages conforming to abusive practice would cause the server to send an OAP message back to the spamming provider... so a million outgoing messages would result in a million INCOMING messages on the specified abuse protocol port.. in effect you DOS yourself.
I made the transition from a solid INFP to a solid ENFP in high school... I went through a lot of personal pain and suffering to get there, but the change happened (not on purpose). I'd have to say its sort of wired in, but it is also like a habit - like a hologram of behavior... you have to really transform yourself to change. I imagine an extrovert could be tortured into an introvert, and visa versa.
That just perpetuates the slavery of employment... if you are the kind of person who can't garner trust and respect from your employees, you deserve what you discover... Paranoid maniacal "CONTROL" breeds environments where everyone spends 6 hours a day trying to appear real-busylike, covering their ass and trying to "look good". Trust is contagious.
I'm not a student anymore, and I could give a crap.. My company could use the press. go to my web site (in my sig), my address is listed. (424 S. Division Chenoa, IL 61726) send me a CD via snail mail, I'll copy it, destroy the original and contact the company in question.
Years ago a dragon magazine article had a fictional story about a massively multiplayer MUD based on Dnd.. where gold counted for real coin. In fact you could drop a quarter into a standup video game and connect to your character online.... hope no one tries to patent the idea. Prior Art all the way baby.
With such a small OS, I still think you could create a grid/clustering situation where thousands of these little "sandbox" OS's run in parallel.. on one or more machines.
The moment they state the file or day, can't you just go look up the good ol' CVS for that day, and see who put it in there?.. I could think of nothing funnier in court than:
Monday: Judge: Please state the files, lines, etc that are in question. Sco: File xyz.c lines abc.c.... Judge: This could be incrimenating, yes.
Tuesday: Judge: Linux Distro X, do you have anything to say before we proceed? Penguin: Only that we clean-roomed the files in question and rebuilt the kernel last night while you were sleeping. Any code SCO might lay claim to is no longer an issue.. We had offered to remove the offending material, but SCO never told us where it was... it is now gone. At the courts disgression, we can also remove the source logs of the offending files

Had one much like this posted as an editorial.

see Heinlein: Any major story involving Lazarus Long. Methusalah's children goes into issues of longevity in great detail.

A suspicious boss has no right to spy on you... suspicion does not consistute the right to spy.
Three cheers for self employment!

they are fair.. but I prefer to wait for Oberon nanotubes.
