How much notice would they give you if they laid you off? That's a good maximum for notice.
Unfortuantely, your boss is being egregiously stupid in insisting on later obligations, and you'd get get out of there and avoid all future work for him. Minimize contact. Unreasonable people seldom improve.
I'm a bit surprised that as developed a state as California doesn't have laws governing expungement of non-conviction arrests. An arrest is not a safeguarded official act, so ought to be completely undoable.
RedHat: `ls -lR/etc/rc.d | wc` return 473 lines, mostly symlinks under runlevels. init.d itself is fine, it's that tangle of K666driver symlinks in rcN.d or wherever.
My main reason for sticking with Slackware is I cannot abide SysV-style/etc/rc.d with it's mess'o'symlinks. I vastly prefer BSD style/etc/rc.d/rc.whatever, and AFAIK, Slackware is the only Linux distro this way. Arch does not appear to be.
It might be a joke, but such "no negative comment" provisions have been tried by others. Very pernicious. Probably legal and enforceable, just as any secrecy provision is. The US 1st Amendment may give rights (prohibit certain government actions), but you can easily give them up by contract/licence.
The US (SMS, voicecell)system is a bit bizzare in that receiver pays. Sender pays makes much more sense to reduce unwanted calls. The only [historical] rationale is that US has been fixed-charge, so there's little mechanism for sender pays other than to make cellphone calls all long distance. And I suspect that cellphone customers (at first mostly biz) would much rather pay for incoming than reduce the calls they receive.
There are big differences in Euro & US phone usages, mostly driven by costs. US has had flat rate (fixed monthly pricing) in most areas. Euros have almost always paid by the minute (IIRC except *.fi). This slowed the adoption of dial-up internet, sped up cellphones & broadband.
Old habits will die hard. I think Europeans will continue to use the phone for messages rather than as a surrogate for being there.
Intercepting & monitoring messages may be illegal under various state laws (usually there's a netadmin exception), but not if you agree to such monitoring. This is one of those alienable rights.
Precisely -- ads
I think you've nailed it. AOL puts out advertising, and probably would like to show how people use their services. They needs publication rights for this. Their ad copy writers must be really lame. AOL'd do better hiring better writers and putting in a disclaimer -- "simulated conversation" to reassure customers of their privacy. Snooping messages (beyond netadmin) may be against state law.
This case is less important than it seems because France uses the Napoleonic (Roman) Civil Code rather than English Common-Law. Precedents are abolutely unbinding under the Civil Code, whuile they are extremely important under Common Law.
That doesn't mean that the judge's thinking is unimportant, just no-one else can rely upon it.
AMD has complained before. And probably cot minimal investigation:
[Intel to cop]: "Oh no, we would never do that." Case closed.
This time some [brave?] Japanese company probably complained
to MITI and produced documents that showed their discountwas dependant on %Intel, not just volume Intel.
Japanese law may permit the whistleblower to remain anonymous.
US law probably wouldn't. I doubt even Dell could risk Intel's retaliation.
Has Intel has gone to the Dark Side? or is this an isolated bad-saleman case? It isn't certain, although Intel remains responsible for it's bad salesmen.
Does this dude have any idea about the bandwidth of a tractor-trailer full of DVDs on an Interstate highway? Roughly 260 exabytes/s (10^15). [first heard as station wagon of tapes].
Game creators certainly have a moral responsibility... to teach those values they hold and wish to teach! Doh! They have zero responsibility to teach any values they do not hold, and really ought to refrain from doing so because they won't be very good at it.
So I expect hard rock & caffeine. If the Bible Belt want to teach their morals, more power to them if anyone plays the games they program. But compelling people to accept and teach morals that are not theirs is utterly unAmerican and degrading of universal human rights
Malware doesn't need to bring in code, there's plenty of code in the target executable. All it needs is to be able to grab control via the return address on the stack. Then fill the stack with exploit data and set the return addr to something like an exec() syscall.
Those door checkers at Fry's, Sam's Club & others aren't checking on customers so much as checking up on their own cashiers. They represent a tangible risk for any cashier who might be tempted to undercharge a confederate. I cooperate.
Hey, I just say what strikes me. When I here an archivist gripe about content, I wonder what's up.
As for Sagan, note that the laughter at Bozo is of a very different nature than that at Columbus, Fulton & Wright Bros. We use the same word in English, but the former is comic, the latter mocking.
Yes, various publishers can help bring some gems to the top. But to trust any publisher fully is to surrender your mind to those who want to shape it. USENET isn't that bad once you learn filtering skills.
Personally, I never trust any publisher. Not The Economist, and certainly not the NYTimes. I've been on the inside of enough news stories to know how badly they all distort. Between that and learning to filter, I filter. They're good for pointing potentially interesting items out (miss a lot) but I still have to dig on anything important.
This one strikes me entirely as Gandhi said "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, next they fight fight you. Then you win." It applies to many things.
I'm very sorry to see that the ALA Prez (an org I respect) cannot see past his dead trees. Yes, blogspace is hard to archive, and much of it low quality -- because it hasn't been selected [censored] by printing press owners. There are also some gems. He's a librarian, he should go look.
It might barely be possible for terrorists to assemble enough U235 or Pu238 to make a fission bomb or trigger. Those are fairly low yield devices (5-30kt) with limited damage radii. Only really effective against dense targets like Manhattan.
Far more worrysome is if the terrs could acquire enough deuterium and tritium to build a fisson-fusion bomb (thermonuclear H bomb). These are in the megaton yeild range, with much larger damage radii. Instead of tens of thousands, millions might die.

many boxes -- maybe. How?
"disabling for next boot"?? What next boot? :) I just `kill` the offending PID.
flags? `man foo` or `grep -sir foo /etc/rc.d`
All works started prior to signing this contract.
All works not directly arising from work directed and requested under this contract.
Any opening in a contract is room enough to completely undo it.
These click-wrap agreements are far more likely to be found valid than shrinkwrap which fails because of timing.

If I read between the lines correctly, you might want to look into the Straight Spouse Network.
