That's all fine and dandy as long as the company doesn't require managers capable of steering or contributing to the steerage of the direction of the company, more a foreman than a true manager. I listened to unbelievable tales of incompetence for years from my brother who worked under managers with psych degrees at Nortel.
Oh it gets better. Some jurisdictions hire private firms to design and publish their laws and - you guessed it - the written version of those laws become part of that firm's IP. Reprint by citzens is illegal. Don't know what the law is, can't distribute if you do. The price to pay for efficiency we're told.
Bullshit. Free speech is an individual right. If those individuals speak as a group, the individuals are protected, not the group. The assertion you made is a gambit on the part of companies like Nike to repeal truth in advertising laws.
I'm more interesting in hearing various school board opinions on how the world's largest software company should be run. It will be as informed and relevant.
So? Powell went on to demolish initiatives set into motion by the Clinton administration and became the Republican poster boy for media privitization. He remained in the post until recently. Powell acted on the basis of Republican philosophies under a Republican adminstration and you still blame Clinton?
Don't get me wrong, I probably have a lower opinion of Clinton than most here. He's almost as bad as Bush. But Powell did his damage under Bush. Who knows what Clinton was thinking (more likely schemeing) with this appointment?
Apples and oranges. Toronto is Canada's largest city, its financial centre and the provincial capital. How does the population density compare to America's largest, New York?
"By comparison: Even though there are millions of psychics/clairvoyants and other people who claim to be able to predict the future worldwide, not one predicted the tsunami!"
What it says is frightening, the same message you get from watching clips of Darwinian actors trying to pet a wild moose or bear. My childhood years were spent in the industrial Midwest and I would never think petting a moose is a good idea, what kind of childhood leads someone to believe it is?
How the hell is the right to protect your sources equivalent to "do anything", "say anything" and "hearsay"? If what's disseminated is proven false the journalist and publisher can be sued. Baby:Bathwater.
"My vote is that those who disclose confidential (NDA protected) information to a Journalist are breaking the law (civil law vs. criminal law - can be fined but not incarcerated) and the Journalist can choose to use that information if they are willing to also stand before a civil court for their actions."
Congratulations, you just voted to neuter the press. The judiciary is now a weapon to block any information considered disadvantageous under the guise of 'potential harm'.
How about this instead? Fuck Apple. The benefits of an unencumbered press so outweight the success of Apple's next product launch I can't believe this is being debated at all.
The way it's achieved is brilliant. Start with a goverment founded on the principle that the rights of the individual is primary, lobby to have corporations recognized as individuals under law, use overwhelming resources to, piece by piece and year by year, shift laws to favour them at the cost of individuals, and profit! The irony is attacking what's happening in Chicago can be spun into an attack on the nation's founding principles by those who are subverting them to their benefit.
That's inaccurate. Spend time in some of the rec.audio.* Usenet groups for example (.tubes is a classic for it) and you'll find the most aggravating, immature trolls who've argued the same points and hurled invictive at each other for well over a decade. Most are middle aged, many professionals.
Reducing operating costs in another way to increase profits. When I talk to people who work for the Redmond Beast I hear tales of staff and budget cuts. Moral is not good and letting stockholders steer a company leads to Nortels, Enrons and HPs.
100% agreement confirmed in practice, but with one provision. Always reboot a machine before logging in as administrator. Malware can't install from a user account but it can remain in memory waiting for the opportunity. This procedure has served us flawlessly for years in a mulit-user 24/7 environment. In fact the only reason we installed anti-virus was adherance to corporate policy.
Oh the delicious irony, the world's biggest, most powerful software company's response to a crippling spyware threat can be disabled by "... a crappy little batch file.." and you take 'Slashbots' to task. You have religion.
Microsoft has no interest in doing so because it would make Enterprise config tools more difficult to use. They relegated home users to the back seat of R&D years ago.

P2P is just one expression of the right to exchange information. I know why P2P is valuable, someone please explain why MGM sis valuable.
XP for games and specialty applications (MathCAD, Spice etc.), Debian and PekWM for everything else and for the same reason. Control over the desktop.
Carla Fiorina proved that!

Are you sure? Printing it on the side of the box might not be enough to make it legally so.
And Slashdot submitters are still not under ANY obligation to READ the article before posting.

Don't you mean, haven't predicted it yet.

Then again, the business of business has been raised to the level of religion so this won't have much impact on many who post here.
A practice can be both common and nefarious.
I took it as another example of anti-Slashdot logic, raining on something the editors thought important.
Not everyone is confused by downloading.
Dragging a file to a folder in the comfort of your home is easier than driving to the mall. Hence, people will shift to downloads.
