Should IT Unionize?
·
· Score: 1
This is correct, the presence and potential for unionisation can lead to conditions that are the equivalent and so negate the need. Honda is an excellent example.
When did this become a US-centric federal vs states discussion?
How you organise your government is none of my business, and frankly considering how awful it looks from the outside I have no interest in getting into a discussion about it.
Theft? And what is using the roads, availing yourself of the police, fire, water, sewage, phones and electricity when you haven't paid the amount that the service provider (the government/society) has decided you should?
Calling taxes theft is ridiculous. Try living in a society without taxes or their equivalent sometime, oh except you won't find one as it by definition can't exist.
"Michael de Mare's deadpan humor makes it a quick, entertaining read. One example of his style: his friend "Lincoln" decides he wants to run for an undergraduate political office. The author thinks to himself: "I wonder what would be the first thing he'd do if elected - maybe free the slaves?" - By Valeda Zaage
Being persistent about trying to convince someone to make the intelligent choice is not the same as taking choice away, anyone can see that.
It's an informed thing, anyone who knows enough to have a good reason not to upgrade is likely to know how to go to the advanced menu and turn it off.
Yes, you were being ridiculously melodramatic, in one scenario failure to comply with compulsion potentially results in the person trying to compel you killing you. In the ff scenario failure to heed their warnings means they'll warn you again in two weeks (and you might get a virus).
Cryptography? Like.. Maths? Yeah.. unless you're writing optimised assembly it's going to make very little difference what language you write it in, particularly on a device like a phone.
And that's not even going into the fact that most of these phones are likely to run Java bytecode natively anyway...
Also, the Java based framework not supporting native applications is not the same thing as native applications being banned.
A good argument for keeping some sort of "scenic route".
But personally, I find driving about as interesting as ironing my work clothes in the morning, and the added spice of potential death just doesn't do it for me.
The best way to think about traffic lights is as a critical section in concurrent code.
Now currently, in the analogue world we're just allocating the entire critical section to one process based on nothing more complex than a timer, I'm sure if you know your concurrency theory you can see how such a system can be greatly improved while still maintaining the same margins for error.
And then once the computer controls get good enough, you get into the fun place where you can actually start decreasing the margin of error.
There was a theoretical simulation of this sort of thing on/. years ago I'm pretty sure...
Doesn't look so bad when you consider the alternative meaning of "crashed". An alternative that is becoming less common every year because of the "computer stuff in cars".
To be fair, I'm one of those people who happily run all that stuff at once.
Currently: ff 12 tabs, pdf reader, oo.org calc, windows xp in vmware with outlook, azureus, eclipse, pidgin, and I'm often watching videos.
Yet incredibly, with 2gb of RAM (standard for a PC) I haven't hit the swap in months.

Since switching to Mac or Linux? Google distribute debs and rpm's with Picasa+customwine.
And fining someone is theft.
And sending someone to jail is kidnapping.
And drafting someone into the army is kidnapping and forcing into slavery.
Just a heads up there fella, your problem isn't taxes, it's democracy.
A stupid tax is still a tax equivalent.

We were talking about taxes as a general concept.

Your government fella, not mine, people get the government they deserve.
If you don't like it, do something about it, evading taxes is not a valid form of protest unless you are doing so openly.
The people aren't, the money is.
Trying to equate taxes with being mugged is pure idiocy.
Evading taxes is stealing money from society, from everyone, the poorest hobo to the richest magnate.
Yes it's immoral, it's also destructive, and that's why it can sometimes warrant imprisonment.
*shudders*
Let's seem yum do THAT!

If the sole reason for this is to make the password "memorable" then they've done worse than just stick with passphrases.
There's just not THAT many mp3's out there.
How is this practically any different?

There are some crappy unions about, but there are a lot MORE crappy corporations, and they have a lot more power.
True enough, but you can begin with the premise of mutual or greatest benefit, and extrapolate from there with logic.
a la Plato's Republic.
They specifically said the files were not encrypted, barring encryption, physical compromise is 100% compromise, no ifs or buts.
I know it's de rigeur, but that was quite a lot of writing for someone who didn't RTFA.
Dan is claiming that (at least in cell phones) there is a deliberately misleading fudge factor.

Take a guess why.
Except the open source bit?
