This exact thing, getting caught in a conspiracy to leave the company, happened to my boss and a coworker.
I was working away, and they were both told to clear out thier desks, and I was then called into the HR office.
I was told that my boss and co-worker sent emails back and forth on company machines that said things like "we are going to rip these morons off so bad".
They actually discussed inviting me and a secrty. to join the company they were going to start up, but decided to not take because I would not go along.
They also defraued the compny by faking orders and ended up in criminal cout last I heard.
the fired boss was the one who hired me, and the atmosphere was poisioned and I eneded up getting canned myself a few months later, but with a nice severance package.
early stages.
One person can't figure out a new technology, that's no cause for panic. Not ready for prime time? Perhaps, but that is like saying you are worried because a 3 year old is not ready for college.
It just seems to me,with what little I know of research and physics, that these things are now such large scale enterprises that the awards should actually go to the institions and not the people.
Yes, I am a sales person, and was trying to get a customer to consider giving us business, and was asking a CEO some technical questions.
He didn't know the answer, so he decided to call tech support to get the info.
After going into a voice mail maze, he finally got some English as a Second Language guy from who knows where, whome he could not understaqnd at all.
I told him our tech support call center was located about a 45 minute drive from where we were sitting, and closed him on the spot.

amazing in how they foul up thier computer, then go upstairs and foul up mine, and break the ibooks given them by the school, I will say this book is long overdue
Steroids...time to exercise....vitamins....gene doping...good nutrition.....computer designed track suits...leisure time.....a trainer.
If you have advantages, you will do better.
Some advantages are socailly acceptable, some are not.
but it all comes down to how much money you have to put into it.
Actually, you are overlooking a big part of german culture.
If someting in Germany is a rule, there will be someone to enforce it.
If a full grown adult tourist tries to cross the street outside the white lines,a little old lady will stumble out and tell you "Ist verboten"-It's forbidden. they are a very rule oriented society.

Living Without a Pulse

..He could not get his sleep rhythms right for about a year, which the doctor who operated on him said was common, so no pulse may mess up your sleep cycles.
This was when they used a blood circulation device when his heart had to be worked on
I have two teenage girls.
I agree that they do not have a right to privacy, sorry but it is a good thing that someone knows where the kids are.
I feel adults have a right to privacy, not kids.
Now, as a step dad, I would not watch my girls get dressed or anything.
However, one daughter is a "cutter", and my wife does search her every so often to see if she has cut.
If you are responsible for someones life, you have a right to know where they are.
Why do all the old line types insist on trying to make any media that is more visual typcast as being less intellegent.
Every mass media goes thru a few stages in it's evolution.
1-"Golden age"-Only the elite have access to it, so it is focused towards the interests of the elite.
2-"Silver age"-Less lofty in content, but popularity grows rapidly, usually this is when people say it will "revolutionize the way people communicate"
3-The "Porn age"-least lofty content as the money guys come in and the lowest common denominator is applead to
4-The "ho-hum" age-the media becomes an acepted part of everyday life and overlooked.
Print, radio (one with am, once with fm)the internet, and each iteration of the media (like, print went through it with paperbacks, then again with desk top publishing, the internet went thru it with the first net, then with wireless) it haapens again and again, now it's comics turn.
Tv went thru this twice, once with broadcast, once with cable, then a minor progression with satlletit, and again with digiatal cable.
I think the program is great.
The computers crash, break, get lost, stolen..Well tht helps the kids learn responsibility. It als helps them get used to technology.
Both kids are usually a lot more techno savy than me and Mom, but don't have the paitence to trouble shoot a lot of problems.
I not only think it is a good thing to have kids get laptops, I think schools that don't provide them are gettting kids left behind.
As far as the kids being distracted, the net access in the school is heavily monitored, and any linking to banned sites gets the pc's frozen and they must report to the help desk.
I have no problem with the censorship for the kids, in this context censorship actually works.
The kids as a whole are very ingenious, creating ways to get around attempts to ban im-ing and the like.
Seriously---why not have a legal definition of spam, then go after those that reap the benefits of spam...spammers are in it for the money and if it does not pay they would not do it.
And , it might be hard to track spammers but by it's very nature the "spam sponsor" is trackable, usually via the web address.
are there any legal issues that would stand in the way of blocking access to a site that sponsors spam?
Although, I guess some
would could pay a spammer to "promote" Bush2004.com and knock it off the net....any ideas to stop that?

Well, I did say I knew very little about it.

None of the above, but keep guessing.
