Don't like it? Don't play it. Now STFU and get back to work you liberal hippiee. If you spent less time protesting and more time parenting you would have to worry so much.

The quality of law is dictated by money.
Either from the top end: (The government under-funding the PO) or the bottom end (Attourneys, Para-legals, etc.)
I could have sworn after reading it 4 times, (still hitting the other 6 times as I write this) you complaint was about money...
There are few lawyers left in the world, just a lot of business people posing as lawyers. It makes me ill. I really hope you aren't one of them, you seem pretty level headed compared to the slashdot crowd.
Here is my solution to solving the problem:
Mandate that lawyers are only paid on a successful patent application. This creates an inital check in the processess. People don't like to work for free.
Require federal and state governments to keep funding and revenue within the departments they are generated in.
One poster here had a brilliant idea. Structure the patent review process similar to jury duty. Last phase of the patent application is a jury review.
Great so between spouse appreciation day, administrative assistant appreciation day, sanitation maintence enginneer appreciation day, vertically challenged wrestler appreciation day, systems analyst appreciation day, and every other useless, pointless, please make me feel good because my parents didn't hold me enough, holiday we might actually have a moment to appreciate ourselves instead of depending on everyone else to give worth to our existence. It's good to know we have a movement to add yet another "I need a pat on the back to feel important" day. God help us, if you don't think your important without an "Appreciation" day do you honestly think a fucking holiday will help?

In the spirit of full disclousure, if there is ever a revolution and a hunt is declaired against POS litigation lawyers who think the practice of law is nothing more then a business (rather then a mission to secure justice for the citizen) , I'll be more then happy to volunteer to flip the switch on the electric chair that turns those lawyers into charcoal.
It is obvious that the pursuit of profit has eclipsed all other ideas in the legal field like justice and honor. It's good to know that a lawyer can toss ethics and common sense out in the name of "doing business". Congradulations on showing what the legal profession is all about. Money.

This article was a paid advertisement, no question in my mind. I think slashdot is sliding quicker then the USA's reputation. Way to go Taco, way to run you brain child into the fucking ground.
Yes every employeed can be productive 8 hours a day. If not you need new managers. A: Cellphones are not allowed in the building and no workstation has video games installed. People better realize they no longer compete with the local guys for the jobs anymore, it's a world wide game now and there are billion of people that are hungry and hurting for your job. If your not working your hardest, your not working hard enough.
--There are gaps where no work is available to do. What do you want people to do in this time? Stare at the wall, mouths gaping open with a long, sticky, string of drool hanging out?-- Well I'd want them to...ummm... work? That's what I pay em for. If someone in the 4 wall I deal with has free time I can find them work to do. I don't pay people to sit around and stare. If you're not working, I'm not paying. Period. If your not working your hardest, I'll find someone else that will. Competition is fierce and it's only going to get worse the smaller the world gets.
Under the circumstances that is considered acceptable. The admin need only click a link in the email to remove the restriction. Recently smoothwall's recative guardian plugin for Sarg blocks them for a user defined time. My home I have that set for 48 hours so if I don't notice the block, 48 hours later it will unblock and re-block if the warning continue.
I hear many people complaining about EVIL marketers. Most marketing companies are rather decent people trying to find you the customer who wants their product. A VERY small % of marketing companies are shady info-whoring bastards. Targetted marking is a rather nice thing as far as I am concerned. When offered to provide interests, and the resulting ads, I find myself visiting the link. WHAT I HATE is misdirected market, you know assholes that call you about new siding on your house when you live in an apartment, or my favorite (being a married old fart) getting ads for tapons and crap like that (because the wife occassionally does some surfing under my ID).
It's too bad a small group, as usual, ruins it for the majority.
I am a proxy administrator at my current gig, if I take the whole of my daily squid log, calculate the active surfing time (time between page transitions greater then 5 seconds and excluding image files [This filters most banners and automatic content]) and divide it between ALL the staff in the building the average user spends 1 hour surfing the web. An average employee works an 8 hour day. Now when I filter this again (we dump it into postgresql and run crystal reports against it) filtering out work related sites the number drops from the 62 minutes to 51 minutes. Still 1/8th is a considerable waste.
To be safe even if I chop that number in half to account for sites that self load, etc.. 1/16th of a work day lost is substantial. As an employer would you be happy is every one of you staff took a personal call for 30 minutes every day? Every day if there is only 30 minutes of surfing, and you have, say, 200 employees thats 100 hours lost daily! at $10 an hour that $1000 lost productivity every DAY. I'm suprised the numbers we're so low actually.
The fact remains, TOO MUCH WEB SURFING. Slashdot is 21% of the traffic btw here with Deviant Art being 12%. This article has prompted my to add catagories to the report so I can group domains and run reports based on what people are reading by catagory. When I started the proxy server here at this gig the web surfing traffic on the DSL line dropped 80%, as the employees knew we were watching. If it was business realted and productive web searching, the taffic wouldn't have dropped as much.
There are some numbers for you to play with. Proxy reports a far from an exacting science but can give you a pretty good idea of what is going on.
Last time I checked wasn't night-time more or less the time after sunset? Why would the wall-clock time even factor into this? The only problem I would see with this (Here in MN) for Jews would be that sunset can be as late as 9:30pm and many kids might already be in bed before there is an opportunity to feed the lil runts. I say ignore the wall clock and use the sun-rise, sun-set clock.
Script monitors ports, ips, etc and baselines their activity. If the threshold for activity is exceeded the port,ip is blocked and an email is sent with an unblock link for the admin. Merging an IDS log into a script like that should be straight forward.
In a related item Sex in the City actors we arrested for performing simluated sex within city limits. The ESBRFDAKMPLFDAGKRSG has changed the rating of Sex in the City from cheap Softcore porn to slighly higher budget softcore porn.
Also countless car, chewing gum, beer, shoe, clothing, personal ads, viagra, and 42 soap operas in 26 languages have also been upgraded to cheap softcore porn. Thank you.
no I mean Small Electronics. It was a degree offered in many colleges a while ago (mid 70s to 80s) which was geared towards repairing those horribly expensive items like TVs. GE and Zeinth also has specialty courses (much like the modern MCSE for Microsoft products) for doing repair work.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANY STUDENT IN THE US EVEN CONSIDER SPENDING 4 FUCKING YEARS, $40,000+ DOLLARS, 1.5 YEARS OF JOB SEARCHING TO EARN $10.50 AND HOUR ON A LEVEL 1 HELP DESK!? THAT'S THE REASON YOU FUCKING ROCKET SCIENTISTS TURNED REPORTS!!!
I've been in this shit for over a decade and I tell you this in very simple terms:
Computer Science as an industry is following that of the TV and VCR repair men. When TVs and VCRs are expensive they get em fixed. When they're cheap, they replace them. Computers are less and less a science as the hardware and software gets easier to install and maintain. Even computer programming is becoming more and more accessable to people as the higher level languages become more user-friendly.
Early on there was Computer Science. Now they have splintered into various factions like various specialized sciences following certain areas, (MIS,IT,DBAs,Programming, etc.) Because they is less and less need for the broad generalized Computer Science types enrollment would obviously go down. Just because TVs got cheap doesn't mean that electrical engineers demand went down or that scientists that research phosphates and optics are losing pay and prestige, but how many people in the last 20 years have a SMALL ELECTRONICS degree? Hell do they even offer that anymore?
The fact that actions like this occur is more then likely based on immediate circumstances rather then a long drawn out through process. If I am staving and I find some apples the fact that I could take the apples and plant the seeds and have even more apples is more then likely going to be eclipsed by my immediate need to eat and the real necessity to hunt and gather NOW rather then farm LATER. Concerning the last tree, they may have cut it down for the immediate need of getting a fishing boat in order to eat NOW rather then the fact that there are no more trees to build boats LATER. In modern society, added with a touch of greed and self absorbtion, you get people who satisfy their needs (real or perceived) NOW rather then their kids needs LATER. Look at how many retire in their old age, no planning for LATER.
HI I'm a budding spyware author and I am too uninventive to actually create my own spyware so I was wondering if you slashdot people have any suggestions on how to help track users.
You see what I want to do is quietly create some spyware that will dial back home every time it boots so I can track infected users... Hahah.. I meant to say loyal customers. Heheh... I love saying that...
No No don't worry about giving me suggestions, we'll cook up a crappy excuse to explore spying techniques so you can give a spyware creator suggestions without actually looking like your helping us here at MyPrincessLaptopSecurity.Com
