If he then demonstrates that he did it to show them how bad the system is then he could lose his job. If he does not then he could get caught and sued/arrested. If he recovers lost data then they will think there is no problem as nothing was lost. If he does not recover data he could cause unfixable damage to the company. I would say the same as other posters, write a nice long letter with a threat to quit, then if that causes no increase in responsiveness just quit.
From people who have been using IE7 betas/RCs, how does it handle backwards compatibility? If someone is detecting IE and then generating different javascript to get around IE6 glitches, will they now need to test for IE6 or below/and/ IE7 or above to handle the old glitches and the non-glitchy IE or do glitch workarounds not affect the output of IE7?

Reminds me of mp3.com which was quite neat back in the day and made a few unknown bands rather rich. I remember reading one success story of some jazz musician that was bringing in about $20000 per month from CD sales on mp3.com. Anything that loosens the grip of the Recording Industry Ass. of America and international equivalent is very welcome. Just dont let the myspace users design their own store areas like the horrific myspace personal pages:)
The council is the local government (mayor, etc) and they take in a fixed amount of money (everyone pays the same, even rentals) as a housing tax. They pay for roads, garbage collection, schools, local police, etc. (along with Govt subsidies for the same). Council housing is housing that is either provided or subsidised for poor/disadvantaged people but there is a huge queue to get it. Single mothers seem to be the priority, as well as people who have been granted asylum. As such the level of disadvantage tends to result in no-go areas or high crime rates around council housing so the council housing estates are generally looked down upon (though this differs from area to area, some are actually quite nice and have good standards).
Yes that is probably the real reason. From random Internet polls, there was an almost insignificant level of support for this and I think that it will just increase fly tipping to an extreme level. Most people seem fed up with paying such high council tax already that paying for rubbish collection would be enough to get them protesting. I would hope that it doesnt actually become reality but you never know what they will try and push through next.
One of the main 'justifications' that the local councils gave was that they were able to settle 'who owns which bin' disputes. When the bins are all at the kerb after pickup, assholes sometimes take their neighbours bin (bins all look the same since they are issued by the council), then they get into disputes and nobody can prove who owned what unless they had their house number painted on the front (also common). The council try to justify the RFID by saying it allows them to quickly see who the bin really belongs to. I dont really agree with this though but oh well, my bin is not tracked (not a council bin) and I am in the UK.

Watching AVP right now, it looks like WWF/WWE had *way* too much influence.
I have not seen AVP, but Alien 3 had a terrible looking alien for movement shots. The CGI looked so out of place and unnatural that it completeley ruined the atmosphere of the movie.
When I was doing a lot of important work from home for a company, I had cable and DSL and used a linux firewall to route between them and merge the links (to a point). The most efficient way to merge bandwidth across 2 consumer-level ISPs at the time was to split traffic to the different ISPs (web, email on one, torrents on another, etc). Anything that had a cache on my firewall could be merged from both at the same time (NNTP, some HTTP, etc). I used a custom script to ping every second and then in the event that a ping failed, the firewall would rewrite the iptables and routing rules to redirect the internal (netmasq) traffic through the working interface. All in all there was never any downtime and we did not have any power cuts either which was lucky. My paranoia came about from some failures with my previous ISP who managed to damage the cable in the last mile and took over a week to replace it. Nowadays I just have one connection at home (the neighbours have wireless from a different ISP so if there is a big disaster I can beg them/pay them for access).
The parent is totally correct. I guess step 3 would be running every tool that you can think of to test for vulnerabilities (after you have assumed everything you have done is wrong and have patched/locked down everything to the most restrictive policies possible whilst still allowing the system to function). As most people know, nessus is one of the best programs for vulnerability testing.
That just leaves step 1?
So long as the monkey is named Gunther and has a stylish hat. He'll probably only eat "banana-flavored energy bars made from tofu". Damn I'm glad Futurama will be back next year.
And they take something away in the form of vastly increased DRM (HDMI, disc encryption) and you get to pay the development costs in the price of the products. Yay!
I'll chime in with another vote for inkscape. Takes some getting used to (basically think gimp for vector images), but is very good for this sort of thing.
When I first put in my mythtv box, the quality difference was immense. Even on live TV there is decent upsampling by the software and hardware (nvidia) which is very obviously higher quality than an untouched broadcast. DVD is upsampled to a very pleasing level and because of this the myth box has been my primary DVD player since it was first installed. The TV is a 30" Medion with a DVI input (basically a large monitor) with 1280 * 768 resolution.
No Unreal Tournament? That was the game that brought forward the genre for me though it was out at a very similar time to Quake 3. Ah well, where's the next stop Ziggy?
For Mark Origer, 53, the treatment completely eliminated his skin cancer and another tumour on his liver shrunk enough that it could be removed surgically. Last week, doctors pronounced him completely clear of cancer cells.
Another man, aged 39, was able to clear the cancer that had spread to his liver, lymph nodes and lung.
Always nice to see the light of science burning brighter and any treatments that can get rid of cancer that has spread to the liver are pretty amazing.

Ubuntu is now the leading choice for linux by quite a margin. Us poor gentoo users languish in 10th place :(

I wouldn't underestimate how petty people who hate their neighbours can be. Not much use applying rational logic to their actions.

They are horrible drunks and do mean things like making windows ME.

For the TV signal it was an internal DVB-T receiver, so digital into the box. For DVD it was S-video.
Well maybe if you didnt have so many movie downloads going on you would have some bandwidth left
That is not entirely true, there is always the atari 2600 version.

I would not bother getting this game. Rumour has it there is a sequel coming out next year!
