Or worse, they discover after it's too late. I looked into the matter after I noticed that my power bill took an unexpected increase, and that the TV in the room seemed to always run incredibly hot.
Man I was shocked! My new TV consumes more than four times the power of my desktop computer, monitor, and speakers combined. It consumes more than double the power of the old large screen it replaced.
Yes it is legal to use personal email, unless there's a law against it.
These people are not emailing their cousins about last week's day trip. They are elected government officials. Laws have been passed to monitor and regulate elected government officials to reduce the amount of corruption. These laws include monitoring and archiving of email.
Obama has been pretty transparent in this matter. He found out the correct email servers were not ready, so he decided to use Google's email servers as long as the required archival process would be performed. He was told it would, so they're moving forward with Google until the White House servers are available.
Certain jobs you might have tend to chip away at your freedoms in exchange for taking the job. It is not like a member of the military is free to go and come from work as he pleases. Nor is a police officer free to rummage through your stuff for gifts for his children. Some people do it anyway, and when they are caught they typically become criminals in the eyes of the law.
It's a fact of life that government officials have to have their official email archived. They're free to use non-archived email for personal matters, but not for governmental ones.
The big difference here is that Obama went ahead publicly after asking for a guarantee that the emails would be appropriately archived, while Palin signed up for her account in private and then was caught doing the bulk of her less flattering governmental business with the non-archived account.
Whether the email account is from a service like Google or from the White House's own servers is not the issue, it's whether the proper rules and regulations for government email are being followed.
And the veterans coming back just to be told that they weren't really in a "real" war are really appreciative too.
Americans think they understand more about our conflicts than those who directly observe them; because, they have watched all of the news reports which is more than can be directly observed. Tell them that there's a disconnect between the reported news and your own personal observations, and they defend their perceptions by calling you a non-patriot. The double irony is that the news is available to all, and their patriotism didn't get their asses up off the sofa.
Yep, I've been in two "not real" wars now, one in the military, one as a contractor. At least the first one was formally declared, but I think I'll skip out on the next one. It's a young man's game, and nobody really is thankful that you went anyway, despite the party line.
Well, that's the Onion. Satire doesn't cut it when you break form halfway through through the joke. Personally, I was laughing so hard that I think I might have a swollen neck, which will probably make my head look even smaller.
Also I love the auto recall at the end of the piece, airbags that could deploy mid-blowjob are a menace to everyone.
There's more insight in this person's post than is first apparent.
That is probably the problem. In the higher-ups eyes at one time something went wrong and that guy did it.
The fast and easy promotions through a company are usually grabbed up by people who have nearly no history. In many companies, you are golden until tarnished: once tarnished, you are never golden again.
If you're an old-timer, you probably have too many years to have never stumbled. Whether the fall was your own, a product of blame diversion, or inherited from predecessors is probably not even considered in the eyes of the decision makers.
When someone shoots a photograph of your house, did they steal it? It seems you don't understand your own sources.
I know that despite the intense advertising campaign to call downloading music theft, legally the definition of theft requires depriving someone of their property, intellectual or otherwise. To deprive someone of any such item, they can't use it after you steal it. Therefore, while copying music is damaging to the RIAA, the RIAA's tactics of pretending that music copying is theft is just plain dishonesty.
Copying music is already illegal, so there's no need to add in theft charges. Just like there would be no need to add in murder charges for copying music because you are proverbially killing the artist.
You sound like my dad's partner. He started his day off with his custom giant cup of DP. It became a cherished part of his daily routine.
Please consider stopping or cutting back significantly, it's not fun to recount or consider the health issues that this will cause. Unlike cigarettes where you might die before the ill side-effects take over your quality of life, the diabetes this will cause will strike much earlier and affect your daily living much more.
They do have machines that fit most everybody, but that's not a comfort to those people who are not most everybody.
Statistically, this lady is an outlier, well beyond two standard deviations from the mean. From her statement, it is obvious that she doesn't believe she's that far away from normal. Ironic.
Well it's not surprising, but it's not necessarily a good thing either. Developers are prone to fall victim to celebrities like Torvalds using tools that make sense for him which don't help us one bit.
Torvalds has a lot more submitters than most projects, and a development environment which pushes a lot of work onto the submitter. Hey, in his case, that's a good thing, because otherwise he'd never get to sleep.
Most projects have fewer than a hundred developers, and probably fewer than ten. They benefit from the advantages of a centralized repository for offsite tape backup, a central starting point for integration testing and other QA testing, a central starting point for official builds, etc.
With git I keep hearing that you need to have everyone merge their local repositories into a central repository. To me, it sounds like you "solve" the P2P nature of git by manually reimplementing a central server in your development process.
I'll hold off a bit until the functions of quality assurance, build releases, backups, etc. also scale along P2P technologies. QA is better poised than most, because unit testing could scale P2P. Other forms of QA, like integration testing, usability testing, installation testing, etc. aren't as well poised for P2P technology. Build releases assume the opposite of a P2P environment. Backups of thousands of repositories is much more expensive and prone to failure.
It is human nature not to do a task when you are certain that someone else will do the same task. That's why people who are injured often don't receive help in group situations, everyone passes the responsibility back to another unknown member of the group. A fully P2P development process will have to guard against this aspect of human nature; otherwise, no code review, quality assurance, or backups will ever be guaranteed. That's a death stroke in risk reduction, open source or otherwise.
I see you forgot to define nudity, as usual. I could object to seeing your feet, face, hair, and any number of other things because they all apply as being nude if you want to shop around for cultures.
A person determined to be offended will be. Any fussing or outside noise is likely to distract the infant, which will lead to a loss of the "latch". That will provide the second of nipple exposure which will justify the person waiting to be offended.
In other words, you're dealing with assholes who don't care.
There's no need to buy a card games disk for Linux. AsileRiot comes with 80+ different solitaire card games. Unless you deselect the "install games" option, odds are your Linux distribution installs it by default.
Half-a-cell, one cell, eight cells, eight billion cells; it's all human.
Let's just face it, there's a social disagreement on which humans get what sort of rights. It's not about whether something is a person, it's about whether we should endow it with the protection of our legal system and acceptance into the clan.
You complain about some people taking one extreme and protecting half-a-cell (sprem, eggs) as fully endowed persons. Others have taken extremes and denied 17 year olds full human status (inability to enter into a contract, etc). So it is not clear cut even with age what rights something should have.
Add to that social pressures, historical precedent, and a lot of the nastier corners of human behavior, and some fully grown adults might not be considered human by other sections of their own species. Everyone has a different opinion, but it's about rights, not about being human.
When you say a module (partial compilation construct) is like a singleton (one instance in memory) because it has it's own name space (a naming hierarchy to resolve and allow naming conflicts), it reminds me of this quote from a true master.
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
What about the crusade? You know, the one that a certain soon-to-be-ex-President declared as such?
What about the nutcase minister that a particular Vice-Presidental candidate associates with, didn't he boast of driving a witch (citizen) out of her own community?
What about a particular group in Waco, who's religious leading put them at odds with the ATF much to their demise.
What about the systemic different set of rights allotted to married couples? What about the control of the definition of marriage to follow religious beliefs?
What about the initial reluctance to do much about HIV because it was a sinner's disease?
Look around a little, it's harder to notice needle in a stack of needles than in a haystack. Since the backdrop here is Christian, it's very easy to point out non-Christian flaws.
All the so-called great scientists had to be politically astute, otherwise you wouldn't have heard of them because another politically astute scientist would embed himself in the public's mind. Newton was famous for his own works, but also famous for popularizing other's works in his name.
Reminds me of the excellent quote from Max, of the sound of music, the only person who manages the transition from pre-Nazi to post-Nazi Austria without a lot of practical difficulty.
Von Trapp: They get the fame, and you get the fortune?
Max: Yes, it's quite unfair. Someday I shall get the fame too.
And yet private schools mostly produce better thinkers than public schools. The teachers do get paid less, so it's proof that ($$$$ != value) in areas outside of Linux.
I see another post talking about the pay teachers receive, that's not the issue. They pay postmen quite well these days. There are many fine postmen, but the worst are truly worse than any you will even encounter in a non-government job. The worst are encountered in higher numbers that you would expect in a non-governess job. I think it's because of the protections against firing someone that the unions provide combined with the famous stability of governess backed employment.
Funny how you don't see these kinds of issues in private schools. Perhaps competing against masses and fear of the average Joe being able to replace you prevents that professional slide to the bottom?
Ask him if the conversation you are having is free, or if he is stealing it from you, or are you stealing it from him.
Then softly hint that not everything in life has a price tag, and there is a group of computer enthusiasts that want to put the fun back into computing. They think it's too expensive to have any fun any more, and they hope others will start having fun by not just providing the software, but by providing free tools to build your own.
Then tell him that this loosely formed group of people tend to come and go like members in a rotary club or elk's lodge, but the software remains. Since it is free it will never go away, since it's been polished for a decade most of the software is better than most companies can afford to build.
You're not 100% being accurate, not because you are lying, you're just omitting the details. Often when people approach a topic, they start talking about GNU, the history of UNIX, the battles against Microsoft, etc. There's a time and place for those conversations, but they disregard your audience; this man needs to be convinced that free things can exist without exploitation of a company.

If we're going to dictate how one can eat, are you ready to give up your silverware and plate?
I don't think eating is a crime, but if you can't disassociate it with sex, then perhaps you are the pervert.
Just to add two cents to your valid point.

You should have explained to the school about property rights, and then went over to the police station and filed a police report.
It amazes me that students allow teachers to steal from them, or that teachers think they are law enforcement.
