I can get out of this rather easily as there are rules in my jurisdiction (but IANAL) to handle that. (to a certain extent)
1. racist beliefs aren't covered by freedom of speech. In fact, it may be illegal itself. (considering that we already found out what happens when it's legal, I don't have a problem with that.)
2. many positions in public offices are not filled by regular employees but rather by civil servants. They get special perks (like immunity against lay-offs) but also have certain restrictions. They're not only bound by contract but by oath to be loyal to country, state and public. (Yes, this stuff dates way back to the times of monarchy.) So membership in or supporting an extremest, but otherwise legal organization may be a reason for an unhonourable discharge.
(I fully understand that sounds fascist to you guys in the US, but it's part of our checks and balances against fascism)
In any other job dealing with customers I doubt that racist beliefs wouldn't interfere with job performance.
My company pays me from 9 to 5 and that does NOT give them the right to invade my live the rest of the time. In return, I will not meddle with their buissness outside office times. What happens at the office, stays at the office, and what happens outside, happens outside. Thats a matter of basic decency.
Of course there is a good measure of flexibility to this rule, but that works both ways. If my boss doesn't mind leaving me an hour early from time to time, the less I mind the occasional overtime.
One of my friends became a volunteer firefighter because it was seen as dangerous and attracted females when he flaunted his credentials at bars. It was something he put on his resume to increase his pay. Open source should be along the same lines and I predict that in the distant future it will be when a
That might change as soon as 6 years of open source development will free you from military service.
I understand that Microsoft has a ton of backwards compatibility they need to maintain, but if a company the fraction of your size can do it, why can't you?
Because they only have a fraction of the software?
Because Apple always has been in the position to NOT care about hardware compatibility issues?
I'm sure no one cares if the lights turn red after you entered the intersection. It's usually more a thing of clearing it again,before the OTHER lights turn green.

Basically, yes.

Not private as in "secret" or "not public", but "private" as in "none of your bosses buissness"
I never had the slightest desire to know what you're looking at while driving!!

But I guess if you're into seeing speedos, you probably want to get an android device. We know what those are for.
so what... thats what GPS is for.
I bet there's an app for that!
Kind of.
But it's to dark to see if the "dancer" is worth the expense.
She probably already knows about that site.
I bet there wasn't a site for that until 5 minutes after your posting.

the OTHER kind of darkroom.
..and describes quite well what Apple is doing here.
OTHO, how could we have lived through >30 years of gameconsole history without defining a name like that for it?
I used to work for a chemistry department whose *nix boxes were named after elements
Wouldn't that guy have to ask "Whose Anium?" then??
Hooray for reflectoporn!

well.. it worked for "Hogans Heroes"...
I guess I should be glad I missed it. But the original seemed quite good.
At least they did something right with "Stromberg".
Never heard of it. I guess it was really bad.
hmm... just an idea.... but wouldn't

over here, you can't even issue a ticket at all if you can't recognize the driver on the photo.
In Switzerland, simply the owner of the car is fined, as he is seen responsible for his car.

Exactly. And if it's yellow and you can stop but don't do it, it's good for a fine of about 15Eur. (and thus hardly ever prosecuted)
she will challenge the reporting agencies to provide proof that it was me driving the car, and that the debt is mine. Being unable to do that, ...
WTF??
Thats what these photos are supposed to show in the first place!
