If I were carrying out an insider job, I would do what I could to distract from that fact. Including smashing windows to make it look like it were an outsider job.
Part of the bill forbids states from issuing driver's licenses to illegal aliens, and other parts of the bill are designed to make obtaining a license illegally more difficult.
This alone ought to be sufficient. I can't believe issuing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants is a matter of discussion to begin with. And license issuers should have routines for catching and punishing employees who issue "bonafide" identification to those who shouldn't have it. It is all "too simple and obvious" I guess.
Well, most certainly not that of asshat corporate-whore politicians who want to control our very lives. And what the fuck does this have to do with sides anyway?
It's sad to see that you, like many others, are deluded. You want to be safe, yet people who you aren't safe from still have valid identification. Unfortunately, you can't see the obvious - that this form of control has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with control and oppression.
You may be carfree by choice, but that does not mean you will be granted access to federal buildings, national parks (!!), trains etc. unless you had some kind of approved identity card. From the article:
Under the rules, federal employees would reject licenses or identity cards that don't comply, which could curb Americans' access to airplanes, trains, national parks, federal courthouses and other areas controlled by the federal government.
Republican politicians argued that the new rules were necessary to thwart terrorists, saying that four of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers possessed valid state-issued driver's licenses.
Um...yeah?
"When I get on an airplane and someone shows ID, I'd like to be sure they are who they say they are," said Rep. Tom Davis, a Virginia Republican, during a floor debate that started Wednesday.
But they had valid ID. They were who they said they were. Or did I miss the article the day it was revealed that Atta guy (or whoever) was really called Joe Smith?
My experience is that these attitudes are more prevalent in women than in men; my male teachers encouraged me, pushed me on, entered me in math and science competitions, etc. There is the exception - my female biology teacher.
When I got to uni, I learned from other females that they experienced what I experienced - lack of encouragement and negative attitudes about math and science from female teachers, encouragement from male teachers.
Maybe there should be some kind of study about this...?
The problem lies in the fact that women aren't encouraged to study math as much as men are.
No. In fact, they are often told by female teachers that math and science is not anything for girls. Often, these teachers are crap at math and science themselves (if I had a dollar for every mistake I corrected) and pass their inadequecies onto their female pupils.
This female teacher I had in grade school told my mom during a parent-teacher meeting that math and science wasn't important for girls; this was after my mom asked about how I was doing in these subjects and what we were atually learning. Not the smartest thing to say to a mom who has a MsC in chemistry...
On the one hand, you have the claim that the recordings are being used for "quality assurance purposes," meaning checking to see if the call center slaves are doing their job correctly and I guess ethically (not cheating the company). Fine. Whatever.
It's an entirely different thing when these calls are being used as proof of transaction. Proof of transaction implies that the recordings are stored in a register/database with personal data "connected" to each call (Tape A of 11.01.05 09:30:12 - tuxette), whereas quality assurance recordings can be "anonymized." In Norway and most likely with all EU/EEA countries, these recordings must be created and stored according to privacy laws, meaning informed and explicit consent to making the recording for proof of transaction purposes. You end up with a lot of things you need to prove - that tuxette is reallythe person you spoke to, she was legally able to enter the alleged contract, etc.
In Norway, a company's IT-policy can stipulate that use of the company e-mail address is for business/company-related matters only and that correspondence may be read by third parties within the company. A reason for reading an employee's e-mail may be that the employee is ill or on holiday and certain information contained in the mails must be obtained.
Private mail marked as "private," or with a subject that indicates that the mail is obviously private ('Grandma's cookie recipe'), is generally treated as such; these mails may be read under circumstances described in company policy or upon obtaining a warrant.
The key to making sure the company stays "safe" and the employees keep their policy is the company having a good IT policy that is enforced consistsently and the employees agreeing to it and following it.
Not only can you look up things like movies, you can order your tickets and choose your seats ahead of time, online. (At least you can here in Oslo.) That way you don't have to stand in line and end up being told the movie is sold out when you finally get to the window;-)
...there seem to be a fair amount of people who met each other on slashdot and are now good friends in real life. If that's not being social, well, then, OK, whatever...
Exactly! With several people chatting at once, you can discuss where to go, what to do, and agree on everything far more effectively than calling all these people and going back and forth and back and forth to the point where you don't want to be bothered and just sit home and, uh, watch TV...
I don't know about the rest of you, but I find the Internet very useful in planning social events, something which increases socializing time. I'm hardly less social because of it.

Yeah, it pretty much the same deal in Norway. Various official fireworks have been cancelled, and officials are encouraging people to donate the money relief charities that they otherwise would have spent on expensive fireworks.
They have an online discussion board where you can ask for and get information and even meet other travellers/expats while you're over there. It's a good source for very recent information, unlike the books which can at times be poorly updated.

They better start taking a good close look at their own...

OK, I see.
Now the question is - how would have things been different had he only had one valid ID? Isn't that all it takes?

Were their findings inconclusive due to the high vodka content in the urine?
It's not, except for entertainment. We have a few shows here that have used polygraphs as entertainment as well ;-)
Geez, what next? Are they going to do his star charts? or read the coffee grind remains in his mug?
I'll be more impressed with the Totti model that spits just as well...

The real WTF is what was written on the national TV-watching average being at 2 hours. I would have thought it was much more...
