When I searched "1234" on google and bing, the top results are about that Feist song. Thank goodness it doesn't mention anything about it being my root admin password and my luggage combination
Well, duh... that's because your luggage combo is 12345.
Exactly. I ask about expected work week. I explain that I understand crunch time, and have no problem with it, but that I did the 60 hour week thing when I was younger and now want to spend that extra time with my family. If you're diplomatic about it, there's usually not an issue, unless it's an environment like the following:
I was told flat-out in one interview that 50hr/wk was expected. I told them thank you, and got out of there as fast as I could.
No, they had rights to the code under various licenses. That allowed them to sell/resell it. It did not give them the right to relicense it under $FLOSS_LICENSE.
The Santa Cruz Operation (aka oldSCO or Santa Cruz) sold their OS business to Caldera in 2001. Caldera then changed its name to "The SCO Group" (aka newSCO or the SCOundrels) allegedly to take advantage of the goodwill, but later events (the lawsuit) seem to indicate it was to sow confusion as to their identity.
Santa Cruz renamed itself to Tarantella after the sale. Tarantella was sold to Sun for $25M in July 2005.
Indeed, at first we wanted to open-source all of Unix's code, but we quickly found that even though we owned it, it was, and still is, full of other companies copyrights.
My PRK cured the myopia and astigmatism. But it turned out that the myopia cancelled the presbyopia, so now I need readers about 50% of the time. Luckily, I can use off-the-shelfs.
The best thing to come out of this story is that Ms. Thompson has sent out a nice big red-flag warning to any potential employers not to touch her with a barge pole. After all, if she does this, you can pretty much guarantee she'll sue her employer the moment she gets passed over for a promotion (after all, she shows up for work most days and her last project wasn't a total disaster).
Mod parent +1. This woman has just made herself unemployable.

Back at WUSTL in the early '80s (80-82), they used SSN as the student ID as well.
Good luck. You've got about 9 years before the older one becomes evil.

When it totalled up to 4 months during a brutal stretch (80-100 hour weeks, working 30+ days straight)
That's not crunch time. That's a f*cking Death March.

They can't.

I was going to suggest CutePDF, but it's freeware, not FLOSS.
Article conflates the meanings of "Free".
It says it's "free" only, not OSS. They mean free-as-in-beer. However, the Free if FOSS means free-as-in-freedom.
