    you know what else strangles our economic recovery?? when idiots hit the B for billion instead of M for million.

    this is purely aimed at stopping accidents, not preventing you from making large profits on selling shares. seriously do you think a 10% price rise in 5 minutes isn't a good profit?!?!

    although i don't agree that he just stumbled onto this computers - it's bloody obvious he targeted DoD computers in an attempt to access information he new damn well he didn't have the right to. I also don't think hard time for this kind of face saving nonesense is right either.

    I think lots and lots of community service, fixing PC's for the elderly or refurbishing PC's the low income earners, is the right way to go with non violent crimes like this, which frankly are pretty victimless.

    5 years doing helpdesk support every weekend for free would cure him of any urges to break into other computers. hell he'd probably vomit at the sight of a pc after that.

    BBZZZTTT, WRONG! Australians also have to pay income tax to the Aaustralian tax office even though the don't live there or use any of the services that income tax provides.

    unfair and stupid, yes.

    indeed he does sound like a fucking cry baby. i'd hate to see what would happen if he got pulled over for a random breath test.

    we'd probably be reading on /. how the police are harassing him and there would be breathless moments where he thought the cops were going to gun him down.

    none of this happened online nor does it have anything to do with anything online - his passport had expired and he has a criminal record, they simply took it to verify this. all of 15 minutes. the stupid fuck should thank his lucky stars it didn't take 6 hours the speed most government employees move at.

    the sun DOES cause cancer, lots of it, especially here in oz. it's one of the most ironic things i've seen, is an english back packer burnt to a crisp and still standing out in the blazing sun, while talking on his mobile phone with one of those radiation covers on his mobile phone.

    No. they have studied cell phones and links to cancer to death well and truly by now. no one, even those who have actively set out to find a link between them has been able to establish anything of substance.

    yes. resources industries get milked heavily in taxes and royalties directly, and then indirectly via taxes on their employees high wages and capital purchases etc.

  24. Re:Yes, but it may not mean what you think it mean on Can Employer Usurp Copyright On GPL-Derived Work? · · Score: -1
    your almost right, and this is also the reason no one outside of OSS wants to touch GPL.

    the work you do for an employer belongs to them, they do not however have the legal right to override a pre existing contract such as the GPL.

    so the GPL'd libraries you reference do not bleong to them, and if your project won't work without them it's tough tittes. They can still freely use these libraries but they must provide all the source of the project to anyone they distribute the project to, inluding your works (that's the copy left part).

    this is what makes the GPL a horrid mess to work with in a commercial environment, and why i only touch bsd libraries.
