Rock on! Oh ye who has never been late for work, what a perfect world you live in
I've been late for work, sure. I've been told off for it too. Am I frequently late for work? No. Do I still find it bad to be late? Yes. Enough so, that I will try to stay the time I've missed at the end of the work day, doing work.
you would like me to stay late to keep the customer happy right - that's never considered
Really? Pretty sure some companies actually state in their contract you may be expected to do over time and they're not required to pay overtime (although one would hope they generally do anyway).
The same can be said of ISP's network. Their network, their rules.
I agree completely. Although they're not likely to expect any business from me should they do that. I'm absolutely fine with my work doing that though - They have company systems and data to protect, as well as ensure people are doing their work - I don't see anything wrong with that. You can always go elsewhere for a reasonable expectation of privacy for Internet access for your personal stuff.
So if they are basically capable of MITM on any HTTPS connection, what if you use a secure site to do health-care related stuff (HIPAA?). What about sexual harassment reporting? Since they can see your banking password and others, what kind of liability have they exposed themselves to?
None, if they did it properly I would imagine.
Doing it properly would include having an IT policy that employees agree to with regards to indemnification and have the indemnification setup in such a way that the employee reimburses the costs if a 3rd party comes after the company for it.
It's not the employer's fault if the employee fails to recognize where reasonable privacy exists after been given such an IT policy to agree to.
Seriously, I don't understand what's the problem with getting to work on time? Don't you think it's disrespectful to turn up late? I do. I don't think walking through the door at exactly the time your work starts is great either, never mind 30 seconds later.
The HTTP 1.1 specification doesn't even contain the word 'destination'. The closest definition for what is happening here is a 'Gateway':
gateway
A server which acts as an intermediary for some other server. Unlike a proxy, a gateway receives requests as if it were the origin server for the requested resource; the requesting client may not be aware that it is communicating with a gateway.
Do note that a gateway is also defined to be a server too.
Sorry, even with the emphasis, I can't see anything there that equates to RMS thinking that the act of being someone that gets paid is "evil". At best, you have circumstantial evidence to say it's implied that he doesn't think people needing to be rich. Anything more than that, from that quote alone is a bit of a stretch.
Could you find a quote that refutes this other quote of his, to prove your story? It would have significant weight if it's a quote made after 2008 (when this quote was published).
Paying isn't wrong, and being paid isn't wrong. Trampling other people's freedom and community is wrong, so the free software movement aims to put an end to it, at least in the area of software.
Makes perfect sense to me. Connection is intercepted, passed to an different server, the different server understands the request but refuses to fulfill it.
It's accurate because a server did receive the request. There is nothing in the HTTP RFCs saying intercepting HTTP servers should handle a request differently.
A lot of work in the Linux open source initiative is paid work to begin with. I don't recall instances where these people were called out and called evil?
Has anyone considered that HBO should have seen this coming and not renewed those exclusivity contracts the last time they were up for renewal?
Don't they get paid a good deal for staying exclusive? Would it be safe to assume that because of this, they get promoted heavily, automatic 'free trial' subscriptions that convert to paid subscriptions if people don't cancel etc.
I recall when Firefly was airing. Every single person I knew who was a fan of it watched torrented versions. Surprise, surprise, popular show got crap ratings and got pulled.
Can you provide evidence that this had nothing to do with the series being shown out of sequence, the show time being constantly changed and huge waits between each episode please.

In Europe, you can agree to waiver to that, which is likely going to be in most major corporations when you take the job contract.

They didn't break the encryption, they are using encryption.
Serving sandwiches creates liability for the company. I'm unconvinced in the US it means much though, since it's their hardware and their network.
Also, what makes the user unable to check the certificate being used? It's relatively easy to check who issued a certificate.

FYI: I'm not an employer.

I don't really understand. To do money raising for a particular set of work, you have to communicate what you're planning to do anyway.
Regarding the other points. Don't forget to charge extra for the time involved for the extra documentation work you're doing then.

You can have memory leaks already. Why are misrepresenting the current state?

I think you've completely confused Stallman's standing on the matter.
What if another ten million people don't want to be inconvenienced by those ten million people?
Makes perfect sense to me. Connection is intercepted, passed to an different server, the different server understands the request but refuses to fulfill it.
It's accurate because a server did receive the request. There is nothing in the HTTP RFCs saying intercepting HTTP servers should handle a request differently.
Regardless of interception, a server did handle the request and respond.
What's more transparent than commit logs?

LOL.
Why wouldn't you properly sandbox your browsers to begin with. Aren't you a geek?
I am really sceptical Slashdotters go and buy stuff from posts like this, which leaves the question - Why bother spamming?
I disagree.
