Actually, on the "moderate use of beer or wine is beneficial" most studies on this subject fail to account for the fact that people that abstain from drinking outside of the study tend to be those with health problems in the first place which resulted in them not drinking. As such, these same studies are inherently biased towards the light drinking population before the study even starts.
I assume your friend also never leaves the office, never has to call his wife on the way home to find out if he should grab some groceries for dinner, etc. He doesn't have to carry the phone INTO the secure locations, he can leave it in his car. As far as not being allowed to have computers, etc, that is a bunch of BS. My dad works in the same type of environment and has for years--the trick is he can't bring such items in and out of secure zones. As such a laptop will be useless over a desktop and the desktops have to be approved and physically chained to the floor with no unauthorized input and output, but they CAN have them.
Question one: Does someone that refuses to implicate himself in a government witchhunt prove he is guilty?
Does someone that denies he is involved in the communist party mean he is guilty?
The point is that any american that is worth his salt SHOULD deny telling the government anything for fear that failure to state his position on something will be construed as anything other than defending his constutuional rights. Check www.papersplease.org for more information.
Threaten to the sales guy who's commission is on the line if you threaten to sue for a defective product if they don't accept a return of the licenses. Nothing will scream louder than someone that will have to return part of his paycheck if someone else doesn't follow through with resolving a problem that is their job to fix.
HIPPA compliant systems should not even think of touching it, and any similar software--HIPPA requires strict control over data, and any system that indexes and at least partially caches the information probably violates this, even if it isn't being uploaded. These systems shouldn't even have the ability to access the internet, much less download software and install something like this without having the IT department do it.

I've got a Thinkpad T30, which I've had for the past 2.5 years or so. I've had one HD die (a slow death, it wanted to be warm to work), I've upgraded my RAM, and it still keeps on chugging. I've lugged this thing back and forth to Europe at least a dozen times, carried it to hundreds of meetings and into dozens of data centers, all without fail (besides the HD). I agree on how well built these things are.
A few months ago I passed a NYC police car at night, and when I glanced in, I saw two police officers playing solitair. The next night, I passed ANOTHER police car with two cops doing the same thing. I went online, and searched for a bit, and found that yes, they WERE allowed to play it by policy during lunch and breaks. This implies it was probably general policy for the city, and as such, simply observing it on someone's desk is not grounds for termination.
There is a strict limit on the number of trial accounts, and now, those accounts arn't able to do many things normal accounts are able to do just to prevent such activity. This game isn't for everybody--it isn't for people for example that expect to be given a plot to follow, and arn't creative enough to interact with other players.
Personally, as someone who works in the computer sector, hot coffee realistically was perfectly fine, and should NOT have impacted their ESRB. If so, then everybody should be charged with public nudity, because if someone were to come by and rip your clothes off, you would be naked, and that is NOT acceptable. This is exactly the same thing. Yes, the programmers as a gag threw this in. Yes, they left the code in, but disabled it. Yes, someone figured out how to enable it. It is standard practice NOT to gut code when a feature is not desired, but to simply disable the feature to prevent side effects in otherwise tested code. As a result it made it easy to reveal, but it is NOT the fault of the developer for it being released. If modifying code to reveal something unintended should be put on the ESRB labels, then every ESRB label should have "warning: ESRB rating can change if code is modifed", much like online ESRB labels warn about changing ratings for online play.
Very good point on the age of DRM. If the law still states that after X years, a work is to become public domain, then how does DRM expire itself and unencumber the work that had been purchased? If exactly ONE copy of a work is created, and it is created with DRM, by implications, if the DRM does not automatically remove itself after that time, then it is not complying with the law. Correct? This should be a key point to preventing DRM, because no content is "owned" by the producers forever, and therefore they MUST provide means to remove the limitations even if they themselves are not around any more to provide the secret codes.
To be honest, the court affirmed something that was denied as part of the basis--that you do NOT have to provide an ID. In the events leading up to this, Gilmore had been denied the right to board a plane without providing an ID, DESPITE agreeing to a search. Now it is revealed that the regulations provide for this, which is more than what was revealed before. The real problem with hidden rules is the public can't tell if they are being followed. In this case, a valuable piece of information has been provided that wasn't provided before, and NOW the ruling can be used in case someone is denied the ability to NOT provide an ID for boarding the plane.
Make you "shoot the monkey" on the webpage in order to actually get the rebate vs. hiring real monkeys to process these things? I'm sorry, but I hate rebates in general--they are worse than insurance carriers on you actually qualifying for the rebate "I'm sorry but you sent in the wrong proof of purchase", "I'm sorry, but the proper documentation fell on the floor when we opened your envelope and since we arn't allowed to pick it up, this rebeate is denied", etc. Yea, whatever.
Consider: One of the compiler issues has been the ability to schedule all four pipelines with instructions that are useful, instead of no-ops. Now, consider using a method like the T1 does, where you have four sets of VLIW threads, each with on average 3 instructions. You could get away with executing the four threads with 12 pipelines on average. In effect, you can take the no-ops from one set and fill them with instructions from another thread, and keep the pipelines chugging. If tied together properly, it would have binary compatibility with current Itanic code, make use of today's ineffecient compiler generated code better, and make the arch work much more effeciently with OS threads ala the Sun T1. Given that the overall core (not including x86 and cache) for the Itanic is fairly small, something like this could probably be done very effectively and push the Itanic ahead.
May I point out that none of these is newer than 2000? There can be two reasons though:
1) Anybody making any argument against this simply gets ridiculed out of the medical field 2) Nobody is convinced that HIV doesn't cause it.
The scary part is that there is/was a fair amount of evidence that HIV may not the sole cause of AIDS, as in many countries, the determination of who had AIDS wasn't based on the presense of HIV, but of the immune effects itself. There could be many other causes of "AIDS" as determined by symptoms, and if the international medical community isn't paying attention to this, we could be curing the wrong thing for a vast majority of people.
All it will take is a few major websites to stop servicing any customers of Bellsouth, and they will cut this. Consider if CNN, Amazon, and Yahoo all denied bell IP's access, and Bell will realize it is THEY that are dependent on the content for business, not the other way around.
From everything I've tried, nothing still seems to come close to the all out war you can have for territory in Eve, and the raw quantity of player driven content. These factions, etc, are all supported by Eve, and have for well over a year.
Worse--it doesn't say what mount paramaters are used, or if any tuning was done. You can change the performance characteristics significantly if you tune the paramaters of the mount. I suspect that reiser4 was in a failsafe mode for data integrety, while the others were doing a bit more caching.

You must have a dumbass lawyer if this patent can get through and you had issues. Not to be rude, but that patent PROVES there is an issue.

Never attribute to cunning and deception what is easily explained by incompetence and laziness when it comes to the Government.

You need to try Eve Online from your complaints.

No worse than the "whisky" gene.
