Oh, yes. Because when I think about making business deals, I think to myself: how can I have this conversation over a third-party server, probably in plain-text?
You still dont really get it. You need to provide evidence that they haven't complied with the EU Data Protection laws (or whatever it is). Until then, that's the very definition of a hypothetical.
As for your comment about China, there have been many many arguments made suggesting Google actually did the most ethical thing in the situation. But I won't debate that here, since it's covered in many other slashdot story discussions.
As far as I can tell, the only way to do this would be to get a baseline for lying from questions the examiner expects the interviewee to lie to, and then compare future questions' results to that. Sounds like the exact same problems with current lie detectors.
Does this work differently somehow? And if so how could it possibly prove that it's accurate given individual differences in cognitive function?
1) The shareholders would oust the executive board immediately and install people who could see past all that "human rights" baggage to do business with 1.2 billion potential customers
This is supposed to be the land of the free, home of the brave. The US is supposed to pride itself as being the beacon of light of democracy and the free world.
Instead, everything here has become so much driven by money that ethics and values become irrelevant when it comes to business.
I'm still trying to reconcile these two statements. When you say "ethics and values", you must mean your own ethics and your own values (and if not, whose are you referring to?). If this is the land of the free, then who are you to tell businesses that they shouldn't be driven by money and have to abide by what you think is ethical? Or even what the majority of Americans think is ethical? If we are the land of the free, businesses should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't encroach on a very small subset of actions that are so harmful that they are illegal. If you think this move by Google fits under that category, I'd like to take a hit of whatever you're smoking.
You have recourse: market forces. Boycott them.
But, I'd bet a Franklin that you've used Google at least once today.
If we aren't the land of the free, that's fine, but we should stop saying we are.
They are also used in PHP. That doesn't change the fact that they are called 'ASP-style' delimiters. But, since you asked, I've used ASP quite a while ago. Then I used Java/JSP for around 3 years. And I have been using PHP since.
This wiretapping scandal can only get bigger as more and more layers get exposed.
If it doesn't happen fast, it could very well die. The American Public gets tired of the same story after it's discussed 6 or 7 times. Then the Super Bowl comes around. Then... OOO!!! SHINY~!!! etc. etc.
But, as the election nears, hopefully the Democrats will grow some you-know-whats and bring the subject to the foreground again.
Amen. From the mistakes in Taco's article whining about how people care too much about spelling and grammar, it is painfully obvious that his opinion is heavily influenced by the fact that he is unable to find such errors.
He can't find all the errors, so it's easier for him to say grammar and spelling don't matter. That way, he can save face for the errors he doesn't catch.
If you read my comment, nowhere do I say anything about forgoing legal remedies to damages. All I said was that they got plenty punished for being an idiot, and that, in the end, will be a much greater deterrent than any lawsuits.
Uhhhh, not really. Even the CEO of Sony admits that they spent way too much time working on protecting their music recording services, enough that products like the iPod and Panasonic's flat screens and Microsoft's XBox have seriously harmed them. It's called opportunity cost -- more resources spent on one thing mean less resources spent on others.
Last year they lost money. Yes, negative profit. For a company as established as Sony, that tells you something.
Sounds to me like the market is handling this rootkit business quite well.

As a college student myself, I was with you and nodding my head until...
No alchohol, no drugs
My guess is that the OP was asking for ways to save money so he could purchase more of these.
Oh sure. That'd be super. As if there weren't enough groupthink already in that administration.
Wow. Remind me to stay away from any country whose government you found...
That's fine. But not saying so is not evidence of non-compliance.
We both know that you can't prove a negative
What? That doesn't apply here. No, show me a lawsuit. A news story. Anything.
But the lack of mention of the UK or EU law on Google's site points to a lack of compliance.
And the lack of tigers around me points to some genetic difference that keeps them away.You still dont really get it. You need to provide evidence that they haven't complied with the EU Data Protection laws (or whatever it is). Until then, that's the very definition of a hypothetical.

Google's "Don't be evil" veneer has worn off even quicker than I expected.
Yeah, and all it took is your hypothetical situation of something they might do in your mind! Elementary, my dear Watson.

You're either with us or against us. Seeing as how they live underwater, they sure as hell aren't with us.
Shock, awe, and calamari.
I knew there was a hidden reason why Bush got re-elected!

True in general. Not true for Google. http://www.logoogle.com/google-ipo.htm

I'll refrain from making a comment about how you happened to choose ASP-style delimiters for your example of poor programming practice.
But activity spiked in the circuits involved in reward, a response similar to what addicts experience when they get a fix
You know, I could go on a rant here about how ridiculous this statement is, but it's so hard to type when laughing this hard.
Quickly, though, it's also similar to what 5th graders experience when they get 100% on a spelling quiz.
it has plug ins such as SafePeer to keep those pesky people away.....
After I read this comment, I downloaded Azureus+SafePeer and have been running it every since. But my wife is still here.
