So a number of successful companies are found to have a large percentage of white males working for them. This is looked at as bad and the diversity numbers are not good enough. It would seem the interpretation should be that having a large number of white males working for your company makes the company more likely to be successful.
I like how there is a story on slashdot about Google making high level encryption that the NSA cannot penetrate. Then a few stories later is the government taking Google to court for something serious. Don't mess with the government.
It was interesting that the politicians got 21 million for the act and 5 million against. That is a great money making model for the politicians in the government. They just have to come up with proposals that are zero sum and hurt some company's business and help others. Then the companies will be motivated to bid for or against the law. The more damaging the law to some companies the more money they can make.
An extension might be useful for causing elected politicians to have desired behaviour. The problem is when a politician wants votes before they are elected you can influence them but after they are elected then they are influenced by others. You need to maintain the before election influence after they are elected.
Creating a contract that the politician signs before they are elected is good. This contract will constrain their behaviour. If they violate the contract then the contract becomes their official unrevokable resignation from office. During the election you can then advertise which politicians have signed which contracts. After the election if they violate they contract they are out and people can vote again. Politicians have different behaviour before they are elected than after so getting weaker politicians to sign on might cause the more senior ones to sign on if they have too in order to compete.
We need a new word for such laws instead of law. It seems that banning municipalities from providing WIFI is not a law in the same sense that banning people from killing other people is. I will start the guesses out with corpolaw or maybe corpla.
I work for a software company that sells a suite of server products that run on Windows/Solaris/AIX/HPUX and Red Hat Linux. We have very extensive QA where there is a team that focusses solely on performance testing. The Linux version is significantly faster than the Windows version. There is a caveat though, this applied only to Red Hat Advanced server 8. They updated the threading model or something for that one. For earlier versions of Red Hat the performance sucked for a server product.
I was wondering about this semi-related thing. What if he wrote a book with a bunch of libelous statements about movie stars. The agreement would seem to mean that the company owned the book. Could the company be sued for that guy writing that book since the company would own the book according to the agreement.
I work at a company that ships product for Solaris/HP/AIX/Linux/Windows. I have my choice of developing code on whatever platform I want. Before checkin I build on all platforms. Solaris is by far the slowest compiler. Even linux on a single CPU machine can compile faster than solaris on a Quad! Make the compiler faster.
I also can debug on any platform, compared to the windows debugger ever single UNIX debugger is far inferior. I have used debugger on all the platforms. The Solaris debugger is the most robust but even still it is slower than Windows and has far fewer valuable features. Make the debugger faster.
I think those are very important issues to address if they want to get developers to write code for their platform.
Here is a great money making idea. You make a gene that can when put in a humans blood stream become part of the persons cells. The you make it the payload inside a cold/flu germ. Then release it in the wild. Then when people start having the gene show up in their body you sue them for patent infringement. If they want to continue using there body they must start paying you royalties.

I get my kids to click EULA's since contracts with minors are not valid.
I get my kids to click all the EULA stuff. They have special magical powers that exempt them from contracts.
