Unfortunately, all 3 can and often do involve politics. Especially the 3rd on your list. Thats how you get and keep your contracts, playing 'the game'.
But the advantage of being a talented generalist is you have a N+1 higher chance of remaining employed then someone that can only do one thing, no matter how well.
So what its hard, and you might get it wrong? That doesnt mean it cant be entertaining reading and thought provoking.
History class is for the lazy writer since there is little to 'invent'. Sure, history is really interesting and educational, but not in the same way as scifi is entertaining and thought provoking.
And if his 'history works' turn out anything like the "difference engine" was ( it was set in the past remember ), then his career is over as a writer im afraid.
It doesnt matter to me if they are male, female, or somewhere in between. I treat them all with the same respect, unless they are an ass and dont deserve it.
How about everyone he has ever had contact wtih in the last 3 years. They must all be guilty from association with this evil 'pirate' and we have to take them all down!
Thats not a business case. Thats just a lame excuse.
And in a well run shop, even if you got permission to run it, the IT department would have to install it for you. You wouldn't be downloading it yourself.
Once you grow up and have to support 40000 users, you might understand that things are different in the business world then they are at home.
User installed softare that isnt part of hte official internal standard increases support costs, among other issues. So unless there is a business need, i dont see a problem with it being blocked. ( tho, simply blocking an executable name isnt the right way to do it, but that is a different discussion )
Now, if you come up with a valid business need for said non standard software, and its ignored, then we are in agreement.

I already dont bother with flash sites, and dont have java enabled by default.
If they cant use simple html on a site to render with, then i just move on to another and they lost a sale.
Thats beacuse they now effectively run this country. ( and are in the process of running it into the ground, for a profit )
'petered out'?
Opencores.org

and tons more.
Well, that was fun.
There are a couple of companies that are making a living off sparc clones now. sure not many, but id not call it 'nobody'.
And lots of people cared about the T1.
There used to be some free tools out there long ago that would let you design the actual silicon. Not sure what ever happend to them.
Besides, they said they are releasing the entire thing in this case so that problem is sort of moot.
Except the Arm7 core will cost you more then 10 bucks in license fees, unlike opensparc.
They are responsbile.
They are a bigger threat to our existence then some rogue asteroid.
Problem solved. ( or filtering contact lenses )

Office politics effect everyone of course, but if you have more skills you still have the advantage.

But it still started out free and open, and available to everyone.
And all we will be allowed to run per varous legislated requirements is IIS. It will be the only 'HSD Certifed Safe' option out there.
And yes, it will suck. But who ever said life is fair?

No, its more ludicrous that its a big deal.
They used free stuff that anyone can download in their product and didnt mention it, so must burn them at the stake. Geesh.
A lot depends on what user you manage to con.
Some do have high enough rights to cause damage, but i agree most dont.
Is always the most effective way into a 'system'.
Anyone can make *claims*. Either put up or shut up.

Even if all im doing is ordering a pizza.
