... but you have to really concentrate or you'll lose the train of the sentence. Can't go back and read something over (well, nowhere near as easily). Not suited, then, to casual reading.
Desk, hard drive, and email are all things that are actually physically located/stored with the employer, or on their equipment. HTTPS traffic, though, is merely going through their equipment and should not be being stored anywhere by them. That's the distinction I see and sure they own their part of the network, which is why I said there needs to be a societal acceptance of what a reasonable expectation of privacy is on any computer network that other people are allowed to access, just like there is with not being able to take camera shots up women's skirts, etc.
If you are using an employer's resources to surf the internet just figure that *everything* you do is monitored. If you don't want to be monitored, GO HOME. If you don't trust your employer, GO HOME to do anything you don't want them to see. GO HOME or use your own internet access.
I don't buy this argument. What if your home ISP started snooping on HTTPS traffic? "Their network, their rules", right?
Nobody owns the entire internet; it's a ton of networks connected together. There needs to be a common societal acceptance of a reasonable expectation of privacy when using an internet-enabled computer unless there's a damn good reason not to have it, and "scanning web pages for viruses" is a pathetic excuse for potentially snooping on all SSL traffic.
What if work involves logging into websites with passwords? Is it OK for your employer to be able to snoop on them, or should that count as "personal" research even though you need it to do your work?
I think my point stands. Labour still didn't have to give them a referendum. What were the SNP gonna do - have an armed uprising? If you think that would've happened you're delusional.
Google use ffmpeg quite a lot through Youtube. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd contributed quite a lot to the ffmpeg codebase, fixing bugs and performance issues. How much of this did Google's staff actually write?
Well how do you determine the optimal duration though? You'd have to have some way of measuring a work's value to society, which seems pretty much impossible.
I just went with a simplified version of what seems to be the Pirate Party's platform, which I agree with - 5 years by default, with an optional 5 year extension (I'd make them pay a not insignificant sum for it so you didn't just get all lawyers doing it automatically).
I'm in Europe and I do like nuclear, so speak for yourself.
Finally: nuclear power can only provide base load anyway. You can't ramp it up and down to follow demand.
Ha ha!! It can "only" provide base load? So what other green tech is gonna provide base load then, pixie dust? We NEED a huge amount of base load electricity and wind/solar can't provide it, and it's too unreliable. We don't have anywhere near enough hydro, either.
Google's statistics of IPv6 usage show a seemingly exponential increase, which is now up to 3%. It could be 10%, 20%, or 50% in 10 years' time. Countries like mine (the UK) need to wake the fuck up and start having major ISPs offer IPv6. It really sucks that so few do.
Point is, he's achieved nothing that puts people on his side, especially not the Brits who are paying to supervise the embassy
Speak for yourself. I'm a Brit and if I had any real say in our so-called democracy, my tax money would be being used to send Assange on a flight to Ecuador and tell Sweden and the US to fuck off and stop wasting everybody's time.
Well he's not requesting to be treated like everybody else; he's requesting to be interrogated on Ecuadorian soil, which seems reasonable in this case. Why would a Swedish justice system prioritize a technicality over actually trying to move a rape case forward if they really gave a damn about the supposed rape victims?
Most "everybody else" is not being hunted by the United States. Frankly, if they want to call this an exception to the rule then yes, make an exception for Julain Assange and get of your ass and question him in the UK. This is indeed a special case.
Yeah I know. Their notice says "we want to hear from you to make sure that the redesigned page has all the features you expect", but how many people have already told them that their arbitrary width restriction is fucking retarded and leaves half the widescreen monitor empty? Yet they've done nothing to fix it.

So, Julian Assange?

But beware Google Chrome on Windows; it uses IE's cert store.
Yeah, and also anyone who describes it as "HR" instead of "personnel".
Human Resources is stupid bizspeak that makes us sound like robots or something.
Gravity is!

I dunno, ask Tony Blair, who gave Scotland a parliament and an option for a referendum on independence when he didn't have to.
Is this to replace Facebook's?
The problem is how Britain's libel laws favor ligitive rich accusers
Do you mean "litigious"?

How about 4. Copyright that lasts 10 years before becoming public domain, and not an eternity?

The Germans and northern Europeans in particular are figuring out the engineering problems of using renewables on the grid.
Use nuclear. Problem solved.
Nobody is planning to serve it in restaurants.
..... or are they?
I tried a "jelly" doughnut when I was in America. Nowhere near as nice as jam ones in the UK. :-)
