Now that it was shot down from being in the open, it will reappear in a unrelated bill, buried under 1000's of other layers so it wont be noticed until its too late.
And if it doesn't change, even if its bad sometimes, it stagnates and dies off. The world changes, and so does show like this if they are to survive.
Sure it doesn't always work out well, but even during the bad times, with horrid experiments like Colin, i would still rather see that than the same exact thing for 40 years..
As a disclaimer i started with Davison, and I thought he was the best of all with his more practical approach to things and no 'flashy tools' as a plot escape route, at least until Tennant came along, and showed us what had been missing in the character. Was sad to see him leave so soon. Matt, while i think is a good enough character and has some interesting writing behind him with the twisted plot stretching across more than one season, i think there is far too much 'flash' going on. But i do realize its 2012 and if you dont have flash to keep the average guys attention, you fail.
If you cant "afford to work for a company" after honest negotiations, sure you leave, but you dont actively try to destroy them on your way out the door and ruin others lives in the process.
Gotta love class warfare and total incompetence in the general public. Idiot.
Actually i dont care about either side to be honest. I do care about contract law however. Enforceability of contracts is a cornerstone of economics.
As far as both sides getting a deal, it doesn't legally matter if its lopsided or not. Also, you dont think that the employees got benefit from him during the rest of his tenure by remaining employees? ( and vice-versa, he got a paycheck from them producing.. )
Still, the exiting CEO Brian Driscoll taking $1.5 million on his way out, just last March, is kind of a slap in the face when he lead the company to the verge of bankruptcy.
Im sure that was in his contract. Are you one of those that think contracts should only be enforced when you like them?
You end up with a suspicious competitor that runs around demanding to see your proprietary code, and you end up in court eventually defending yourself. If everyone used a BSD style license this wouldn't be an issue and wouldn't bog things down. ( much as the patent war is doing in the non-free world )
Personally, if someone came to me demanding to see my internal work, id tell them to f-off and sue me. If they can convince a judge to get involved, after they lose, ill sue for damages and own them.
I wasnt even talking about the libel part, just the very idea that it would do something like this should deserve a trip to jail.
You want to prevent piracy, fine, you disable the product. Nothing more.
I remember one company back in the 80's that would destroy your data if it detected it was 'pirated'. That didnt go over well once discovered, and they are no longer in business.

Its not just the US, its the entire 'first world' that is doing this nonsense ( and other destructive things )
Took long enough.
Now you will have to have DRMized hammers and screwdrivers to prevent someone from making something 'wrong'..

Try it at my house and lets see whos rights win.
Who needs an excuse? I dont.
But if you dont mind people buzzing your yard and taking pictures, more power to you.
Would be rather small people ..
If i can shoot it down with a rifle, its not high enough.
If you fly a drone over my land, ill shoot it down too. Its an invasion of my privacy and borderline trespassing.
Hes just trying to distract the local police while he tries to slip across the border.
He may be totally nuts at this point, but hes not stupid.
Rap = Crap.
Is how man grew his brain to become what we are today. If they want to go backwards, why bother to stop them from wanting to de-evolve?
Future generations of eat eating mankind will be able to use their land as the leaf eaters die out on their own.
( sure you can over do it with meat as everything must be consumed in proper amounts, but saying meat is 'bad' as they are is just ludicrous )
or the user has been really careless.
Which is always the weakest link in any security system.
"Hello vendor, please conform to our EDI standards if you want to business with us".
Its not that hard really, and it happens every day. We could move to more open standards if people had the balls to demand it.

This kills a lot of 'alternatives', that people refuse to stop accepting the proprietary standards and paint themselves in a corner of failure.
If you also switch to an open file format, the 'issues' that these alternatives have mostly melt away.

And that there is the core of problem.
And it needs to be taken to court and struck down. Before people just accept it and move on.
This has been a game for HAM radio operators for a long time. Look up 'fox hunt'.

Of course its possible to cause havok.

Doing crap like that should be illegal.
The 'author' should be taken out back and flogged for it.
