What they're doing now still lets grandma get one every year, she just has to ask for it. They're just not delivering on directly to everyone else's recycling box anymore.
third-party influentials and industry leaders like Cisco tell us regularly that our focus and investment continues to surpass others. Because we pay them to do so.
Has any version of Ubuntu had uninterrupted support for the then current version of Firefox? They seem to think it's ok to wait months, and then only update with the entire OS.
That's what this fight is about, and why Vorbis is being developed. And submarine patents do exist; there's much FUD by MPEG-LA members being spread about the possibility of Vorbis infringing yet unknown patents.
What we really need is compulsory licensing at some percentage of the per head sale price. That way we still get the commercial value of patents without discriminating against non-commercial uses.
Yes, any halfway competent organization can secure its workstations. It's not that hard to form and enforce reasonable policies that keep the receptionist's system clean.
But when she gets home, there's no organization backing her up. There is no policy or IT support beyond (maybe) some Indian call centre who's first priority is getting her off the line ASAP. It's fair to assume her desktop at home has been compromised by anyone with the inclination to do so.
It's rational to put the needs of society over the wants of its members, but asking people to put their own needs behind those of anything or one else will only select for those that refuse to do so.
Don't look at the money spent on homeless shelters. It's very, very easy to spend money to zero (or even negative) effect. Look only at whether they're effective or not. Can they guarantee the safety and security of those who use them? Can they guarantee that space will be available every night? Are they within walking distance of all amenities their inhabitants require? If the answer is 'no' to any of those questions, you cannot reasonably blame someone for doing what they need to do to survive.
We know for a fact that Gizmodo successfully returned it to Apple. The police probably would have gotten it back to them, but they might not have.
That he was compensated is irrelevant. He turned it over to a respectable publication with the means and motivation to get Apple's attention. That's all that is required of him.
If everyone knows what your resources are, and can keep an eye on what you're doing with them, then you cannot possibly rebuild nukes before you could be stopped.
I don't particularly think it's a great idea to completely eliminate nuclear weapons, if for no other reason than that they may have peaceful uses. Like this. Obviously nuclear power is invaluable as well.
I do think more than one or two per country is rather excessive, though. That number can be easily monitored and isn't an instant win on successful first strike.
He did the responsible thing. He hung around a while in case the guy returned. In the morning he could have flipped through the address book, calling the guy's friends, but it had been remotely bricked, preventing that.
If I lost my wallet, I might check the bar. If I lost my phone, I'd just call the damn thing and ask where it was.
There's no reason to believe there was anything half assed about his calls o Apple. He knew at that point that it was a prototype, and he asked them to escalate the call. They never called him back. Apple dropped the ball, not him.
The person who found it repeatedly tried to contact Apple, and they ignored him. If he'd kept it for himself, you still might have a point, but he didn't. He handed it over to the people best able to get the attention of the owner.
If the US can nuke Russia, Russia has to plan for the possibility that the US will nuke Russia. If the US launches missiles that could be aimed at Russia, and that could have nuclear payloads, Russia has to assume that they are and they do. Because they're fucked if they assume good faith and are wrong.
Better never to launch such a missile and best not to have them at all.
All he'd have to do is have the requester warrant, in writing, that they are acting as an agent of the organization.
Besides, I really, really doubt the mayor signed off on any policy requiring him to take direct action in low level network administration. That's just some nonsense Child's wrote up.
Once he was terminated, his only obligation was to return anything of theirs. If they want to violate their own policies, that's none of his business.
The most he could reasonably do would be to insist his former boss put the request for passwords in writing, and to notify the mayor of this. If the mayor ignores the notice, he has no cause to withhold the passwords.

You didn't need that time or that money; they were surplus.
If you were skipping meals to pay your share of the NHS, you'd have a point, but you aren't.

I'll play/watch/listen/read what I like. I'll pay the creators if they can resist being a jackass.
Then porn corporations will simply register themselves in countries which don't have said laws, for financial reasons.

Which is why it's better for all if we maintain less than doomsday quantities of nukes.
And yes, that man is a saint.
He did try to get someone from Apple to either claim or disclaim it. They ignored him, and they have to take responsibility for that.
So he turned it over to someone who was more able to determine if it really was Apple's, or just some Chinese knock off.
Even if he had given it to the police, he still could have sold access to it to Gizmodo prior.
Apple has no expectation of privacy on phones it leaves in bars.

That he made a profit doing so is immaterial.
Only capabilities matter.

Like this?
That two weeks severance they give you? They can actually insist you sit at your desk for it if they wanted.
If he had a work laptop, they could require him to make reasonable effort to return it. Comparing sending an email to "slavery" is absurd.
You are obligated to return any of their property in your possession, and that could include passwords.
Send the passwords in writing to the mayors office. Have it notarized and sent by registered mail if you really think something is up.
What they then do with them is none of your concern.
