This is a fair point. Using a parallel case, if I got hold of a forthcoming exam paper and posted 2 out of 10 questions - would that be fair use? Even if it were fair use, wouldn't it be reasonable for the examiners to ask "Please take it down, you'll ruin the exam".
Last month I had several people knock on my door asking to show me religious tracts. I've yet to have anyone turn up with a copy of The Blind Watchmaker.
Nope. CEOs leave all the the time - and when they leave people don't sit around going 'shit he didn't document the business strategy, anyone know how the company is meant to work?'. Dependency on the CEO and dependency on a maverick developer are quite different.
Not a fact. I have a fair few gay friends, I've taken my kids to a friend's gay weddings. But in a gaming environment I really don't care about a person's age, race or sex - let alone their sexual orientation.
Sorry if that breaks your comfortable assumption that everyone who isn't interested is prejudiced.
Ask them what the company policy is regarding giving references. Explain you are worried because of what your manager has said.
HR exists to protect the company. Your manager is jeopardising the company since any unfairly poor reference would leave the company open to legal action. HR won't like his actions.
Of course, they were specifically looking for that specific effect. It would be interesting to see how many *other* beneficial effects there were from the "healthy womb" (if any)
I have several customers who now want more than my word about the security of systems that have worked for them flawlessly for 5-6 years
This is exactly the point and the message you should feed back to them. With open source. they don't have to take your word for it. There is also the word of an entire community that is constantly examining the code and will blow the whistle as soon as they spot a problem. Or they can take the word of Microsoft, that their product really really is secure, honest, but no it can't be examined to make sure.
I do the same. In the UK at least it is possible to get cheap remote-control power switches that plug into your mains socket, which avoids all the scrabbling behind sets. The ones I have use a multi-channel set up, so you can have one set of sockets go off at one push of a button, and another set of sockets set to go off with another button.
I use an off-site 'cloud' backup service. I also have automated archiving to an external firewire drive. I don;t trust either of them. But together, they're a pretty sound combination.
I'm not a Bush fan, but I was pretty shocked at how all the Whitehouse press releases and announcements from the last 8 years just seemed to disappear at a stroke. The day after the inauguration, I was browsing around and came across a reference to an announcement about the Bush Library's newly appointed director. Clicking on it gave me the 'It's moved or gone' page at Whitehouse.gov
I find it astonishing that this was handled in this way. I would have thought that the Whitehouse should have systems in place to archive and redirect-to the Websites of past presidents.... just so it is possible to see first hand what was said at the time.

No-one's mentioned Gibson yet, so I will. Neuromancer was clearly science fiction and clearly featured technology far removed from what was then available. And yet the technology was clearly reasonable.
It reminds me a little of the first week or two when Tony Blair first became prime minister. The team had lined up a pretty amazing array of policies while in-waiting and rolled them out over a very short time.
About 6 months later events began to impinge on the carefully crafted agenda, on-the-fly decisions had to be made and things began to get messy. I'm not saying the same will happen here, but I would not be surprised.
Then get yourself a fountain pen and a bottle of ink. A small watercolour box, and some good brushes.
KIll the idea of the Blog and instead do a proper log. Create a little work of art that you will be able to look back on in 20 years time. It'll be much cooler. Really.
You're not stealing electricity from the government. But you *are* pumping unnecessary levels of CO2 into my atmosphere. Anythinmg that can be done to reduce this in a relatively painless way is welcome.

"just"? No. Other than that yes.

Add in India, as well.

You will notice that the installer comes with an uninstaller. Guess what that does.

It's not an either-or.

I bet you think 640K is enough for anyone too, eh?

Yes. I would argue that Hill Street Blues did more to reshape TV that BSG ever will.
Exactly. I expect they also plan to procure more paperclips than manned aircraft. That doesn't really say much about their "commitment" to paperclips.

So you don't keep any records at the moment?

Thank You.
Not to mention the little fact that Gallifrey is no more. Who knows what changes the Time Wars(tm) unleashed.
You're reading this in Lynx, aren't you?
Perhaps. I would have though that MS would have dealt with that OK. However I suppose the leap-second may have flummoxed things.
