Yahoo has my email, does that mean they own my email account? I don't think so. When people say that somehow Facebook owns this data it is a load of crap. They no more own that data than Google owns the content of the web sites they have crawled. They provide a place to host information, they provide a way to relate users to each other and users have a way of sharing it. In fact all the users of the system enter the information, not Facebook. So at what point do you people believe that this magically became Facebook's data instead of their users?
Compliance is about appeasing the corporate bureaucrat with something which they can measure. Why do you think they hate IT, they don't know how to measure anything. Better to make up a measurement and pretend it means something rather than spend time and effort in something you have no interest and really don't understand.
While I am upset that they feel the need to jack up the prices, it is nice to know that my local used book store will still feel a market niche. To some degree, it is almost feels better to buy a used book than a new one. With a used book, you can see the wear and tear on it, that someone actually has enjoyed this book and that they are passing it on to you.
To clarify a point for "At will" employment. You can be fire for "NO Reason", but you cannot be fired for "ANY Reason". Simple examples would be Age, Race though there is a huge area dictating what is acceptable and what is not.
An example that I had in business school was an VP accidentally left a paper who was copying. The paper was an advertising for a gay party(he was in the closet). The company fired him for violating the Company Usage Policy for him making a personal copy. The company lost the lawsuit that was filed by the VP, because they fired him for an invalid reason, not for ANY reason.
The company does not have the right to read her personal mail either, but if she wrote it using a company pen or paper she may be violating company policy about using work assets for personal affairs... Or maybe the company phone, or maybe the rental car when she decided to stop at a store on a business trip, etc...
The costs of the items involved, like a personal email, can be minimal to non-existent so it is not about money. These things are not being done in the companies name, so it is not about being a representative of the company. The person is probably an exempt employee, which means that the person is expected to do their job, whatever that is, not punch a clock. As long as the job is getting done, the so called time lost is irrelevant.
These policies are rules made by busy bodies that feel a need to insert their nose into someone's business. That it involves "Company property" is just the excuse. Why these people believe that the companies rights are so superior to the individual is rather pathetic. Especially since the Constitution was really set up to protect the individuals right to privacy, that the government seems so willing to defer that right because a business is involved is very scary.
While I am with the "must want one" crowd, the price tag is so outrageous I don't believe that many gamers would ever be able to afford one. Even if cheaper "Emissary" is $1500 for a 4 x 6 table, it is nothing bigger than a basic dinner table.
For price comparisons, look at a decent home pool table like the ones found here. Those are not cheap, they are pretty decent and of much better quality than the "Emissary".
I would love to have one of these tables, but until the price comes down, the slightly reasonable, I don't see these as pickups for the average gamer anytime soon.
the city government sold them a 75-year land lease at a deep discount and is reimbursing the company for roughly a quarter of the lab complex's operating costs for five years
When this happens in the US, it is the companies that will make out with the best deal because the US government honors their commitments to legal contracts even when they screw over their citizens. I imagine that these businesses think the same thing will happen in China.
When they are settled in China, it will be like working with Darth Vader, "Pray that I don't alter the deal any further..." and those companies will have no recourse. Once all the equipment is over there it is not like they can just pick up their toys and leave. More than likely they will steal the technology, add tariffs, change the lease agreements and in general screw them over until they come to the same conclusion as Google, it just ain't worth it.
You are totally right, that there is no free music on the internet and that RIAA is representative for all musicians on the planet and should be the sole determinant of who is, and is not infringing.
The difference between Arizona and building a machine shop with charcoal for heating and the moon is that the moon does not have enough oxygen to support any of this stuff.
Realistically at least at this point, they can only mechanically sort your resources. Anything like refining on earth would require some sort of power plant and come up with a process not only for heating but cooling as well(any problem that can occur with the lack of atmosphere.
The reason people don't use these well-known techniques is very simple: it takes time and effort, and people are lazy. So until the customer tells them to, they won't bother.
Haven't you heard, this is the age of marketing(got that from Business School). Why spend money building something when you can just market your way to the top...
This is what happens when we let business school grads run everything.
I remember researching an article for coal plants, they had 32,000 injuries and 100~ deaths per year from coal mining. But hey, out of sight, out of mind right? The boogey man that is "nuclear energy" must be stopped because it MIGHT hurt someone.
It is an appropriate response to a figurehead politician making these rules, because it is a bunch of anonymous peons that are implementing them. The peons hide behind the facade of a government which they don't have to take responsibility for their actions.
Governments love when an individual speaks out, because they can release a bureaucratic horde of government employees to crush them. An individual who cannot be expected to address numerous rules, regulations and pressures a government can bring against them.
So Anonymous vs the government, as far as I am concerned is a fair fight.
Perl is a tough market, it only has a few good job markets and relatively few positions available compared to Java or.NET or c# stuff. I looked for positions on http://jobs.perl.org/ and http://www.dice.com./ Dice has more Perl listings but I have gotten responses from both.
Like I said, Perl positions are spotty, I moved to Pittsburgh for 6 months, there was only one company advertising for one Perl position, that was it. Nothing else even close. Good job markets are in LA, San Fransico, NYC and after that, it becomes slim pickings with a position popping up every once in a while in a location.
For a guy who does not even know how to take a taxi from the airport to the interview site and file an expense report to claim the taxi/air/hotel fare they are offering you oodles of money.
Your an a**. Who said that they would file an expense report? They certainly did not offer any reimbursement, and I have met very few companies that did, at least without a recruiter getting involved.
If they are not willing to at least meet me halfway and they were interview candidates locally as well. If I was just another programmer, there was little reason for me to get on the plane to interview. As for 90K being oddles of money in NYC, dream on. NYC is one of the most expensive cities in the world, the adjusted salary would have been salary of 60K somewhere else. So it was not exactly a very good offer.
Getting 90K offer for a mere Perl programmer means only one thing, the job market has revived

And screw the hookers too! That did not come out like I said, "OH YEAH IT DID!"
Oh great, now the special interests groups are are here too.

Don't forget, they will bundle the game with its very own secret bank account! SWEET! Less violence, more embezzling, everyone WINS!
For a minute there I thought you were referring to the this "The Big O". I watch too much anime...
Goes to show that Microsoft IE has a large market share not because it is a great product, but because it locking competitors out.

If a professor wanted students to interact, they would be handing out notes, instead of requiring everyone to focus on writing them.
Yeah,but we are talking about sporting events and rock concerts. Hardly necessities in our current lives.

It we are looking at taxing things that get rid of stuff, I would like to tax stupidity directly. The lottery is just not cutting it anymore.

How am I supposed to tell if I have a paid version or not?
The predator and prey bots reminds me of sales people chasing around after anyone who wanders too closely while they try their sales pitch.
