I said that the employer should keep their cotton-pickin' hands off of any employee's belongings. I never said the employee shouldn't respect the employer's property rights.
I do manage to occasionally have an independent thought rather than blindly "me too"-ing whatever seems to be the currently prevailing line of thinking around here.
I've got a working (seems to boot, after which I have no idea what to do)Apple II, including 2 floppy drives, but no software for it. E-mail me with slashdot and apple II in the subject line, and maybe we can work something out.
Isn't heat electromagnetic radiation of a particular frequency band? Shouldn't it radiate? Isn't it cold enough in space that the heat would be useful in maintaining a constant, even temperature within the satellite (kinda like a crystal oven on a radio station's transmitter)?
I remember the COSMAC Elf, and I've got the well-worn mid 70s copies of Radio-Electronics and (the original)Popular Electronics to prove it. Unfortunately I didn't have the spare cash for one at the time.
Work at a commercial station for a while. Then listen to both types of stations. You'll be able to listen between the lines and detect a considerable difference.
If I were flaming you I wouldn't have meta-modded your "insightful" as "fair".
I hope you're talking about your home system and not the one in the car. If you can hear an enormous difference between a decently engineered FM station and a CD, you probably aren't getting enough audio input from the environment you're moving that vehicle through, input that you need to make informed, intelligent decisions about how you're going to operate that vehicle.
Somebody has to write and produce those commercials. In small markets that's usually the same radio station selling the air time, so in a way they also "sell commercials". Sometimes "spec" (on speculation) spots are done to try to intice the merchant to buy air time.
I think (and hope) that what you meant was that the former (acts of the employer) should be at least as illegal as the latter (acts of the economically shafted employee).
As things stand now the latter already is at least as illegal, and most probably considerably more illegal than, the former.
Legality and morality aren't the same thing even if they frequently intersect.
I'd be very interested to know the names of the company, its head legal counsel, and its head of accounting. If the 401K deductions didn't wind up where they were supposed to, it would be very interesting to see where on the chart of accounts the corresponding entry did wind up.
If your co-worker had a legitimate need for the file why couldn't you call up the IT department, tell them the problem, and tell them to do their job and fix the problem?
If they wanted to give you a song and dance about "the server's down, you'll just have to wait", tell them "here's a way around that", if they balk, go over their heads and tell whoever's got power over them that their incompetance is costing the company time and money.
How about if we get them to donate to third world terrorists? I can't think of a better way to disorganize and demoralize them. ObL would have to spend his entire fortune staffing a help desk.
Microsoft is probably as good an example of capitalist arrogance as any, and an attack on them is probably as good for publicity as anything else, so have they been subject to any terrorist actions (other than cream pie attacks)? How does their "victim of terrorist attacks" status compare to that of other biggies, such as General Electric, General Motors, AOLTimeWarner, etc.?
"Gibson has already been called to the carpet numerous times over this."
The phrase is "called on the carpet".
A lot of people have disagreed with Gibson on this, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that they are particularly smarter or more knowledgeable in the area than he is.
Thanks AC. What got me to wondering about it is the idea that maybe there needs to be some way to do sort of the same thing only with regard to American citizens and residents who may share distant ethnic connections with the September 11th fanatics, but who are no more in sympathy with or responsible for their twisted ideas and despicable actions than anyone else, in order to thwart (or at least shame into inaction) all the idiots out there who want to blame and punish anybody and everybody who's even vaguely Middle Eastern looking.
Was it Norway, or Denmark, or Sweden where the king, and then a bunch of others in his social class and others put on a Star of David armband when the Nazis tried to force them on the Jews?

Why not just send the shuttle by to snag 'em with a big butterfly net and bring 'em home?

If the employee's belongings belong to the employee, then no one else had any business so much as touching them.

That's the thing about relgious wars. They rarely interrupt themselves for other religious wars.

Says who? The unreal nagora?
Gee, inflicting XP on Mom and Dad. Insert reverse child abuse jokes here.
It was probably his sig that did it. Should have included a <P> to keep it from looking like part of the comment.
No, not really. Idiots with slightly improved accuracy are still idiots.

I think it usually happens on the weekends.

Well, let's see, if we assume that A=1, B=2,...Z=26, then it'd be 141-52-562.
Better go back, you left off the last number.
I thought the whole idea behind Xyclon B was not having a future.
Don't you mean "as we peek!"?
