There is good money to be had selling discovered vulnerabilites. If you keep refusing to offer a bounty, they'll happily find someone else to pay for its discovery.
We also have pretty good labour laws. Non compete clauses are difficult to enforce as no contract can cause a person undue hardship when seeking gainful employment. So if you're only recourse is to leave the city to find work or take a significant pay cut, that non compete clause essentially evaporates.
I think that unless it comes with a seperate numpad, this is going to fall flat on its face. The tactile response of the keyboard may be nice (assuming they use individual switches for each key), but the lack of keys will make it close to useless.
It'll lick whoever it damn well pleases. And if it wants to hump your leg, not only will it do so with as much fervor and friction as it can create, you will damn well like it. At least you hope its your leg.
In a strictly literal sense, the app in question is aiding and abetting a person to break the law. There is no other way to spin it, unlike the murky waters of file sharing apps where there are proven legitimate uses to it. If aiding and abetting does not break the ToS, then they need to take a serious look at changing it, otherwise the App store is going to become a cesspool of criminal tools.
First off, there is ZERO mention of arcade games, which is what spawned the video game industry. Computer Space? Breakout? Gunfight? Where are the bronze or silver age arcade games? Second, the games they are featuring do not even mention other consoles of the era such as the superior (albeit poorly marketed) Bally Arcade. And third, a VAST majority of the REAL game changers are not even mentioned. Doom? Quake? Castle Wolfenstein? Karateka? Third, even if you narrow the list to popular consoles, where is pong? That was the FIRST DAMN CONSOLE.
Eyeing the half dead orc, J R R Tolkien discreetly scanned the surrounding for those who might be watching. Once satisfied that the two were alone, he made quick work of his pants. Mounting the orcs lacerated leg, Tolkien muttered "Oh yes, my precious, your leg shall be mine. Oh yes". The orc said nothing and simply stared in quiet horror. His eyes said everything that could possibly be said.
There is nothing software based on the market right now which comes close to offering what NX has. Nothing. X, VNC and Spice all have their drawbacks and it boils down to how they behave with limited bandwidth and high latency. With NX, our engineers can actually be productive in an NX session. While I am philosophically opposed to them closing the source for version 4 and not sharing, the pragmatist in me is thinking "hey, built in web server, cool, that'll make it easier for me to allocate VMs to the engineers via a web gui. Screw that NX plugin crap.".
Until someone can come up with an open source product that does what NX does, as well as offer a web client, we're sticking with it. It simply is the best that is out there.
Criminal runs over a pedestrian while trying to get away. He is in control of the vehicle which caused the death. Normally he would get criminal negligence causing death or vehicular manslaughter, a far lighter penalty than felony murder. In this scenario, the law works as it allows the prosecutors to charge him with what he deserves.
Criminal breaks into a house, and his friend gets shot by the homeowner. He was not in control of the homeowner or gun. The one responsible for this tragedy is the homeowner and the deceased. The homeowner is justified in his actions so the responsibility for the persons death is the deceased himself. In this scenario, the law does not work because his friend had no direct control over the homeowner or his gun and yet he is being held reposnsible for another persons direct actions.
The root cause of that persons death was at the hands of the homeowner who was defending his person or property. That doesn't mean that the dead teenagers friend is liable for that death.
I get the impression that you and others seem to think that there needs to be someone found responsible for that teenagers death. There is, and he's dead due to a monumental mistake on his part. His friend/partner, however, isn't.
Perpetrators are responsible for their own actions, not the actions of others, which is what this boils down to. If they were directly responsible for the death, then we wouldn't be having this arguement. But they weren't, the homeowner was (justifiably of course). Do you enjoy taking the blame for someone elses actions? I sure don't and I think its absolutely wrong for any organization to force that kind of responsibility onto someone. whats next, putting the crimes of the father onto the son? Where does this slipperly slope concept of indirect responsibility end?
If you can't differentiate between those two acts, where one death is a direct results of the criminals actions and the other death is a direct result of the victims actions, then you shouldn't be debating this. Reasonable expectation of a homeowner defending himself doesn't morally permit the criminal justice system to stick the responsibility of the criminals death on another criminal, no matter how emotionally satisfying that may be.
The fact that you cannot see the immorality of this kind of logic is further evidence of the systemic breakdown of both morality and law within your (our) society. Theft is not murder, but by the twisted logic of your court system, it can be if a homeowner uses lethal force to protect his physical possessions. Now, having said that, I can see where something like this can originate from. If you're getting robbed, and you bolt out into traffic to get away only to be squished by a truck, the robber is culpible. Run over a pedestrian while trying to get away? Culpible. Robbing a house only to have your friend shot and killed by the homeowner? Probably not the original intent of the bill but hey, slippery slopes tend to end up in ridiculous situations like this.
The real travesty is not that law enforcement mixed him up with another kid, its that the kid is charged with felony murder because the homeowner of the house he was robbing shot at and killed one of his friends. While I cannot necessarily condemn the homeowner for his act, to charge the three surviving robbers with murder is ludicrous. One teenager paid the highest possible price for his foolish act, and now the criminal justice system is going to destroy three other lives? what the hell Florida? If I jaywalk with three other people and a motor runs over one of us, are the rest of us guilty of vehicular manslaughter?
Dell did themselves in in a number of ways. First off, their support sucked. I don't know how it is for you but we had few success stories dealing with them. Second, their hardware sucked. Having to add a 3rd network card to the system because their onboard NICs didn't PXEboot properly added to the complexity of an already complex system (and why the hell did you not deploy your servers with onboard RAID0/1? Are you stupid?). Third, their reputation sucks. Bad caps anyone? Granted, every PC manufacturer got hit by the bad cap scandal, but Dell really made an ass of themselves by doing everything in their power to hide it.
We are currently standardized on HP. Solid support, solid equipment, and solid reputation for their corporate workstation and server models. I am not necessarily endorsing HP, as there are other companies (IBM? Cisco?) who most probably have an equivalent reputation. The ONE company I recommend people avoid is Dell, due strictly to their history and my experience with them.
Dell may have dropped Ubuntu, but we dropped Dell. Good god are their business offerings ever horrible. We went out of our way to retire any and all Dell hardware with *extreme* prejudice.
From the looks of it, the RCMP were forced to react because his commentary was actually interfering with their work on various criminal cases. If that is the case, I think this is a case of our justice system working and working well. You can badmouth the cops all you want, but if it starts to interfere with their job, then you are actually forced to take ownership of what you are saying.

Well executed troll. Minimum effort, maximum gain.

What an awful list. They should be ashamed.

I suspect that the Whitehouse is going to be getting A LOT of emails from angsty edgy teenagers calling him more than just a prick.
I'd like to see a Nigerian try to smuggle THAT diamond in his butt.
