It was not unauthorized access: he had rights to the material. What he didn't have was the right to hog all the bandwidth. They booted him off because he was slowing down everyone else. And using the closet connection was trespassing, at best.
This, pretty much. At work, I don't do anything special. I might go for a walk, at lunch time, if the weather is nice, and a buddy wants to go. Otherwise, it's all standard after-hours stuff: gym, cycling, rollerblading, chasing the grand-daughter around on the playground - harder than you think, especially as she gets older and faster - floor hockey, masters lacrosse, etc. Consistency is key: it's easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.
Wrestling's good for all of the above, too, and you can't beat it for core strength training. However, it's hard to find a club. Maybe a local college or a high school.
I think AC was pointing to the fact that, rather than hold the people who caused the financial meltdown and subsequent bailout responsible, the authorities let them walk with their ill-gotten profits from their financial shenanigans. Isn't it up to the authorities to a) prevent these things; and / or b) prosecute them? We prosecute a botnet master who brags about his exploits, but we let walk those white collar criminals that took even more.
Ditto. But only in my right ear, the better one at the time. On the other hand, I'm not sure if I'd like to return to 24/7 sound. I like being able to tune things out as needed.
From the article - which no one reads, I know - it sounds like Deputy Eggert implied that, because the video is missing from the camera, once returned, that Henderson must've deleted it, himself, or there would be "documentation" of its deletion. In that case, even if Henderson "deleted" it, the police would have a copy, right? If it's evidence, and the police were able to obtain it, they must still have it. Henderson should petition for the "evidence" that the police must have. So, coppers, cough up the video that you took from the camera.
Wrong. Read through some of the posts on http://www.copblock.org/ and you'll see that it's not just "a" police officer: it's a pattern all across the country, even though, by now, they should realize that filming the police in public is legal. That it's recognized as legal by the courts means nothing: the cops consistently ignore this and harass and destroy cameras because - wait for it... - they can. I wish this was an isolated incident. CopBlock exists because it's not.
Note: I'm not involved with CopBlock beyond being a regular reader.
Not necessarily. I was in a similar boat - got let go and found it hard to find something suitable - and started my own business. However, I kept it small enough that I was able to do what I like and not let the business side overwhelm me. It's a matter of scale.
If it's something unwieldy or I know I'll be flipping back and forth between pages, or need to see multiple pages simultaneously, like Practical Electronics for Inventors, I'll buy the paper book. If it's a novel, or casual reading, I can go with e-book format. That said, I donated to a local library a lot of my old books: I hadn't read them in years, and most anything I need to know, now-a-days, I just Google for. For technical information, it's quicker to Google it than look it up in a book.
I agree, in principle. However, it's reality that counts, and in reality, the murderers will get away with it because of who they are. Just like abusive cops will get away with their abuses. It sucks, but double-standards always do.
Unless this is just for spite on HP's part - doubtful - your point actually crystallizes the fact that, yep, IT is valuable: so much so that HP is willing to battle a client in court over these IT people. Perhaps employers should learn this concept of "IT is valuable," instead of treating the IT staff like custodians. I'll put this on my "wish list," right under "Purple unicorn that farts rainbows."
Previously, maybe. Now, not so much. The good ones left when they saw the writing on the wall during the first wave. The really good ones left before that.
I don't disagree with you, but perhaps it has less to do with the curriculum and more to do with the sociopaths that figure business grad school is their ticket to high-profile, high-paying positions.
I've never signed a contract saying I couldn't leave for any period of time. None of the agreements I had with Siemens, Motorola, and AT&T, in New York, Illinois, Ohio or Washington - worked for AT&T in two different places - respectively, had any such clauses. Of course, it was considered "impolite" if you left without adequate notice, but either one of us was free to leave at any moment. Of course, as you point out, if you leave before vesting, your company-contributed 401K contributions were gone, so there's motivation to stay for at least as long as it took to become vested.
Because it makes too much sense to, I dunno, hire a GM and coach who know what they're doing, and bring in players that can actually perform? Is their analytical system going to take the field in place of Ryan Fitzpatrick? Couldn't get much worse, could it?
This is why, in my own company, I have not hired anyone else and probably never will, even at the cost of staying a small operation.
A. I put a lot of thought and care into my products and customer support and I really doubt that anyone else will put as much effort toward my customers as I do.
B. Closely related, if something breaks, because of inattention or laziness, etc, I don't want to have to take heat for someone else effing up.
As such, I don't blame Linus for hollering at the guy. He was entrusted to do a very critical job and he failed spectacularly. Kudos to Linus for standing up for his product.
Exactly. I don't know the kind of circles in which this chucklefuck runs, but he must be fairly well sequestered from reality if he thinks people can rise above our baser nature. People are animals: nothing more, nothing less. We grok tools pretty well, but we're still animals, prone to the same kinds of behaviors as lions, tigers and bears. Oh, my! Anyone who thinks highly of us, as a species, is in for some serious disappointment.
I still don't see why nakedness should be considered "wrong." The Fundies support it, even if not openly, when they hide or relocate a priest that diddles boys. And aren't Republicans caught, now and then, in peccadilloes involving Congressional pages, or airport bathroom sex? They're obviously not bastions of sexual purity. So, again, why is seeing naked people "bad"? Wait - is this one of those "hypocritical" things?
Why would I want to go with RaspPi over, say, mbed, or the Parallax Propeller, both of which do IO? Sure, having a Linux stack is cool, but that alone doesn't sell me.
I'm an old software guy that's finding his youth again in hardware. Sorry to ask what may be a "noob" question: how do you "condition the lines"? Is it just a matter of a voltage divider? Some sort of transistor arrangement? Or a specific driver IC? Thanks.
I don't care whether it's 2D or 3D, or even wowza effin' holograms: it doesn't matter. What matters is the story. Shit, son, I can be thoroughly entertained by a book - imagination required. The vehicle of delivery means naught if the story doesn't compel. If the story is compelling by itself, I don't need the video embellishments. One could say that if you, as a film maker, have to resort to some form of 3D to draw an audience, that you have failed: you should not rely on the presentation to rescue your ass. Unfortunately, we'll have to learn this lesson over and over again.

There's only two kinds of cops: bad cops, and those that enable them.

Am I allowed to buy their camera gear? I promise I won't use the related software.

Yes. And the storytelling was not so much better in the play that I would forego all 2D movies, hence.
Your assumption has large holes in it. Shotgun and rifle owners typically don't need permits. And permit holders don't have to own a gun.
