Then you put in a request for new equipment, and explain that it will make them far more in increased productivity from you than it costs. A $2k upgrade only needs to increase your productivity by $1/hour to return the investment in the first year. That's usually a no-brainer expense.
I care little that some stranger I've never seen before happens to notice that I leave a bar. I do care when I realize that someone is following me everywhere I go.
And even if the stars align and you manage to get an all-star team, the product can *still* suffer bugs due to resource issues, like management shortening a deadline without input from the team, poor or non-existent testing environments, or poor equipment and tools.
It's less about being politically correct than it is about the amount that was laundered. If there were six more zeroes at the end of the sum, the guy would have gotten off with a warning.
Now there's no uncertainty. In the UK, you can't be fair and open with your doctor. By doing so, you are also being open with any government agent who decides to take an interest, even if only for personal and nefarious reasons.
Unfortunately, the bill neither defines what "publicly available" means insofar as remaining compliant with the law, nor does it provide any mechanism to do so. This is an important point, because in the past, we have seen attempts to sap resources from labs producing unwanted results by flooding them with requests for their data.
Before we can laud the law for good intentions, it needs to provide a mechanism to define what it means by making data available and ease the burden of disclosure.
Not that I necessarily disagree with your conclusion, but...
What do costs look like in Utah versus California? If you were to convert costs and salaries to Utah dollars, would teachers in Utah and California have similar standards of living? How about building costs, utilities, busing, school food, textbooks, etc.? Do both states employ comparable numbers of multilingual teachers?
If you run it in desktop mode, there's very little re-training to do. The only significant difference is that it has a start screen rather than a menu. The lack of a menu hierarchy is a bit jarring to those who relied upon it, but the searching works just fine, and you can still pin important items to the task bar. I have run 8.1 at work since my workstation upgrade a month or so ago, and I have very few complaints.
I'm pretty big on civil liberties, and stories like this don't exactly make me comfortable, but at the end of the day the border guys have a tough job. Hundreds of thousands of people entering the country, they get a minute or two to decide if something is amiss. Should they have unlimited powers? No. However, I think there's a case to be made that if you want to enter a country you are not entitled to due-process in it's entirety.
In terms of it being a fourth amendment issue... I'm not sure it's unreasonable to be searched when entering a country... it seems pretty standard across the world. Electronics make it feel far move invasive, sure, but the base concept of being able to search people entering the country seems pretty sound.
This kind of opinion is precisely why we continue to see the erosion of our rights in the US.
Suspending constitutional rights because "their job is hard" is bullshit. The border agents can suck it up and do their jobs the right way. If that means I have an order of magnitude higher chance of dying from a terrorist attack, so be it - it would still be multiple orders of magnitude lower chance than dying of many other things like cancer, heart disease, or car accidents.
NSA has proven that they can circumvent technologies which people had thought to be secure.
crooks can break into locked cars too, but i wouldn't advise people leave their cars unlocked
It is unfortunate that we are forced to treat government officials tasked with our protection in the same manner as criminals who are out to harm us. It demonstrates just how far our government has fallen. The only questions now are how much farther it has to fall before the public at large finally resolves to do something about it and whether it can still be done through peaceful means when that happens.
The point is that the NSA has apparently become rather adept at snooping on the activities of everyone in the world... except those who work for the NSA. It perhaps gives a bit too much credit towards the effectiveness of investigation into all the data that's collected in assuming that had it turned its gaze inward, Snowden might not have been able to sneak away with a treasure trove of embarrassing and classified documents. The awful powerpoint slides was just an aside tacked onto the end.
Also, their is something wrong with your value system, culture, education system or some combination there of; if the mention of a bunch of white males as inventors and discovers of computer science offends you.
Historically speaking, it should offend you because it's wrong.
To be rather pedantic, many of the Chinese glyphs are combinations of other glyphs, the combination of which implies the meaning. For example, the character for "woods" is two "tree" characters, and the character for "forest" is three "tree" characters. There are certainly more unique base glyphs than the romance languages have, but you don't have to memorize all chinese glyphs to interpret them.
True, and originally, the trademark dispute between the two was settled with a pittance and an agreement by Apple, Inc. not to sell music. However, they managed to win over a judge when iTunes came out and then wrest control of the trademark away from Apple Corps (perhaps better known as Apple Records) shortly thereafter.
It's not that you don't get a vote for businesses - you get to vote with your dollars. The disparity with normal government can be confusing, but we are diligently working to bring both systems into harmony.

It was. Early versions of NT still had OS/2 error messages in it.

Perhaps, but the bricklayer doesn't have to worry about gravity suddenly reversing.

The people who bear shame are those who voted Republican *or* Democrat in any national election.
Also: there's a large group of people constantly looking for and exploiting holes, and sometimes holes are intentionally added.
at least if enough people get pissed, the pols can be voted out.
That's true in theory, but re-election rates versus Congressional approval ratings seem to disprove it in practice.

Lots of people saw you enter the hospital in an ambulance, so the medical records of your stay should be public.
It's possible that Wikileaks served as inspiration for Snowden. With any luck, both will serve as inspiration for future whistle-blowing.

Isn't stealing the answers part of the exam to get into a spy agency?
