Being fair and honest and willing to admit mistakes works better in the long term. A reputation for being honest won't kill you but it will keep you in business. In the long run it is what counts - and the day when you make a mistake it's easier to forgive and move on.
Being less than honest - it can of course provide big bucks, but it can also cause a bad reputation. Just consider the following quote:
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Same thing as for me living in Sweden - but our labour laws may be a bit extreme for some.
There's a cultural difference too - in the US it's not as common with pride in your work, you do your work and leave when the time is up. Getting fired means that if you aren't removed from the premises there's a risk of sabotage. The periods we have here in Sweden - one to three months if you are the one giving notice is there to allow you to hand over necessary knowledge to your workmates. If the employer gives notice it stretches from one month to one year depending on various factors. You and the employer can of course agree on a shorter time - usually with money being paid out instead.
The phone don't connect, it just announces the MAC address in the request when it's looking for a valid access point. You only need devices that can listen, they don't have to talk back to the phone.
It's a low level protocol issue. It's hard to identify a person knowing the MAC address, but if you find a phone or know the MAC address of a specific phone you can see where it has been.
So far we know that someone has used this with the intent for commercial interest, but realize that this can as well be the top of an iceberg where you have several other users of this. From the harmless snooping to create an understanding of movement patterns of people to the tracking of a certain individual on a level similar to what you can see in "Enemy of the State".
Just figure out which countries that are a pain in the butt for the US when it comes to politics and host your mail there.
I just wonder if this is going to be a new market for states like Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Luxemburg and Jersey now that they have started to share some of the bank information.
But Germany is actually a good alternative these days.
Two of Germany’s biggest internet companies have announced plans to make their email services more secure. This comes amid the controversy about the snooping practices of the US National Security Agency.
Deutsche Telekom AG and United Internet AG announced on Friday that they were joining forces in a project dubbed “E-Mail Made in Germany,” which would see all emails sent from the T-Online, GMX or Web.de services automatically encrypted....
It all depends on the application what kind of disks that are useful for your solution.
The lower RPM drives aren't as good as the higher RPM drives to swallow a continuous stream of data for a long time when it comes to many terabytes of data, and in those solutions a hybrid is more or less a waste of technology. Especially if you have a solution where you already need to stripe over a large number of disks in order to achieve a sufficient storage speed.
In other solutions where it's to be used for office or general use then you can use separate SSD and add mechanical disks if you need to store larger chunks of data.
The same persons that shows talent are the same persons able to consider a multi-dimensional problem and provide a new perspective on it.
When it comes to coding it's all about breaking down a "problem" into parts, run it through a good compiler and get rid of all warnings, use some additional quality enhancing tools like FindBugs and take care of the next step. Then perform test runs using Purify Plus.
The ability to refactor code in modern IDEs is also helping a lot.
Meanwhile the USB flash drives are quickly growing in capacity - already there are 512GB USB Sticks on the market. (OK, expensive, but considering the fact that they are getting cheaper all the time it's not a big deal, and when the optical disks comes out they may be obsolete already)
This is happening all the time in nature, so that's nothing new.
The big problem is that humanity has been influencing the crops that we grow for such a long time now to obtain higher yields that some other parts like disease resistance has been put on hold.
Genetic modification is in itself neither good or bad, it's all the question of which genetic modification that is done and the effects of it.
One problem that is common today is that there's a tendency to only grow a few very high-yielding crops in large volumes, and that means that if some disease starts to adapt to a certain crop then there's a risk that it can have a big impact.
Nature itself has a tendency to adapt, it's a continuing arms race between pests and crops, but when humans are involved the natural evolution is taken out of the equation.
The big fish already knows how to get around the immobilizers, and the crackheads and joyriders won't care since they aren't willing to put money and effort into getting a device. The mid sector of criminals will now know that it's possible and there will be a demand on ready to use devices - provided by the big guys.
What is now going public has been a known method for a while by criminals. There are already vehicle thefts going on of vehicles in the luxury segment in central/western Europe, and the vehicles finds their way to eastern Europe.
What immobilizers do are to deter joyriders and crackheads from stealing cars. The professionals already know how.
And knowing it can be done will just trigger the demand for cheap cracking devices for the mid group of thieves that steals cars for parting out.
It would be even better to track down the history of the individual to see what may have caused the switch to appear in the first time. Was it a traumatic childhood?
Not that it may apply to everyone, but some persons may have used the empathy switch as a means of survival.
That's not necessarily true - international markets can take complex stories, however what can be a problem is using stereotypes that used to be commonplace in the first half of the 20th century. Especially racial stereotypes.

As long as it doesn't affect the scam baiters.
A 1984 error code would be more correct.

Make sure that you use encrypted mails using self signed certificates or by someone you trust.
And in other news - Germany is going the other way changing to encryption of user mails by default: German companies to automatically encrypt customers' emails.
After a while you learn which comments to trust and which comments that are there to troll or spam.
Of course - subtle trollings are harder to detect, but they may still contain a grain of truth too.

Is this high enough for an Android device???
It's a bit over 20km in altitude.
Even though I really liked the eccentric doctor played by Tom Baker.
How hard is the regulation? Is there room for competition?
If the regulation prohibits competition then that's the real problem.

The taste would stop me.

That was probably applicable to Hitchcock, Chaplin and a few others, but today it seems like the movie industry is afraid to dare anything at all.
And there are software out there that removes all limitations on a PDF too.
Of course - mostly useful when you want to be able to enable the ability to copy text from a PDF or remove watermarks and similar stuff.
