I live in the midwest and my friends (at least in the case of these voicemails) are intelligent and well spoken. They weren't talking as though they were going to have a computer interpret what they were saying, but aside from that they were speaking about as clearly as you could hope for.
Does anyone use voice recognition software? Here are a couple of my voicemails transcribed by Google Voice:
Hey man, Hello, this is gonna ask you about Stockton uncle in a missed your call, so, so give well. Okay bye.
Hey it's me and I for me. Long, My of the day. So Hey Jared, Here doing. If you come for another anti, gimme a call before you go to sleep and stuff, so give me a favor you familiar with it. I love you bye.
And all while giving you an additional 6 years on your contingency plan for a technology that will be obsolete by the time you could potentially be charged for it. How do they sleep at night?
Dollars and cents. It's easy to sit back and say SF should stand up for their ideals, but the cost to move their operations along with the risk probably (er, apparently) aren't worth it. It's not a great idea to use a multi million dollar asset as a pawn to reinforce your principles. Especially when it's publicly traded.
Am I crazy or did you just say the article was accurate and then disagree with everything it said?
Anyway, what you just described works completely independently of how an organization handles requirements. I've worked in places where requirements were all that mattered, to hell with intentions, better ideas and all other common sense. I've worked in places where the customer has only a vague idea of what they're looking for and expects me to make it up as I go along. In either case, any date you happen to utter for any reason in a discussion with the customer is the date they expect to be using it. Anything they wanted it to do that it doesn't is your fault. Management knows better than you, regardless of what you're talking about.
These things aren't a function of process or opinions. They are the personality of an organization. At my current job, managers manage while other people do their jobs. Opinions are heard, etc. Surprise surprise, it's a successful company. It's a way of thinking, and in a business it happens from the top down. There are a few buttheads around here that aren't wired the same way, but they don't change the overall complexion of a company.
Wow. I expected to see this, since the same thing is posted every time Bing market share is brought up.. but how do you explain the growth accelerating? I can see it accelerating due to those explanations for a week, maybe 2, but months? That's just nonsense.
Wow, really? I use gmail now, and the genuine reason I prefer it to anything else is that it's not Hotmail but will survive if I change ISPs. I own several domains and never even considered using one of them for my personal email simply to please the man, and have no other reason to do it.
You're saying you'd not only make a snap judgement about me based on that, and not only admit it, but you'd talk about it like that was a completely reasonable judgement? Think about it. If someone is in tech, they MUST know what email options are available to them. The one they use is the one they chose to use. Seems to me their biggest fault is choosing a different option than you.
I don't know whether the ruling is still sound, but it seems to me the original ruling was stupid anyway. If you're using anything, readily available and commonly used or not, to get a glimpse of what is going on inside a place you don't have a legal right to enter, how is it different than actually entering?
And then the manufacturer says, "Aw shucks, ya got me!"
I think it's pretty naive to think it went anything like that. And probably ridiculous to believe they'd sell anywhere near that, so my guess is this story is complete BS.
Local admin rights and permission to install anything you want aren't the same thing. I have local admin rights, but software is still installed by our desktop team, and only approved applications and versions.
Wow, what a bunch of morons. In addition to hiring people that understand you just can't do that kind of stuff, my company has controls in place to prevent it. Want to reboot a production server? You need a change ticket, approval and you're going to be doing it during the maintenance window unless it's an emergency. Gotta do it? Call it an emergency and explain yourself later. Can't? Find another job.
At my last 2 jobs developers have had security exceptions for local admin rights. The combination of money lost due to wasted time otherwise plus the fact that developers are going to cause less harm than average users is apparently enough to persuade even management.

And that clearly didn't work out for them.
Ben Heck has made about 8 different laptops out of every console ever made. Why is this one being posted?
Sounds like a place I could donate my AOL 1.0 diskette and vintage 2400 baud modem to.
I'm sorry, did you just reference a rule as evidence of the activities from a website? I wonder what The Pirate Bay's rules say.

You're apparently not taking this questions seriously enough to be asking a lawyer. So why bother here?
If it bothers you, your best option is to get the most out of your games in the first EIGHT years.

What's the point of building a profitable company if you're going to throw it all away because you don't like the laws?

I think the headline looks more like "Pro-FOSS nobody doesn't like Microsoft." You know, just like all the other headlines.

The guy that can type that text that fast, or the guy that feels the need to protest qwerty keyboards?

-Better integrated with Google apps and services (ie: no using Bing when the Google Search is better integrated with the phone)
You're making this up.
No, I am not, as an AC pointed out below...
Ok, making it up? No. Wrong? Yes. You can borrow my Droid if you'd like to verify.
Extra, extra! HUGE NEWS!! Child opens child proof bottle!

-Faster CPU
True, and that's plenty for me, but there's always going to be a "fastest" phone and that has nothing to do with Google.
-Better integrated with Google apps and services (ie: no using Bing when the Google Search is better integrated with the phone)
You're making this up.
-Runs on something other than Verizon (unlike the Droid), namely ATT & TMo.
Again, hardly unique to Google, but this is probably as close as it gets. Also,
T-Mobile's early termination fee is $350. No.
