Oh, and by the way, the "group think" here at Slashdot at one time was that Hans Reiser was innocent. Of course he admitted to murding his wife and dumpping her body in a shallow grave.
It's nice to see rich and powerful corporations starting to stand up and oppose these abuses...
Oh please.
They understand that this whole "National Security Letter" thing is a threat to their business model. It's all about money.
But having said that, if it works to my benefit, I'm all for it, I certainly can't afford to sue the government for my privacy, and the EFF is ineffective in just about everything they do.
It's not for lack of trying. One guy is talking. Comcast isn't contradicting him. That's the whole story.
Comcast is not saying anything now because there is potential for litigation. If this jackass had any brains, he would shut the fuck up as well and let his lawyer do the talking in court .
In "right to work" states, you can fire someone for "no reason at all", but there are things you can not fire people for even in "right to work" states, retaliation is one of them.
Look, we all hate Comcast, but something is fishy here about this guy. I will go as far as saying that the write-up is one-sided, and if "true", the employer has opened themselves up to a lawsuit, and I really don't think HR and their lawyers would do this.
I'm starting to think that people on this site are mixing up vain/vein/vane and vail/veil/vale on purpose just to annoy me personally. For years I notice nothing, and then suddenly it's everywhere! Read a book once and while, people.
I regularly interchange It's and Its, There, Their, and They're, Were and We're, as well as my favorite, "I could care less" just to give the pedants heart palpitations. and for extra points, i often forget my keyboard has a shif key.
That it is "production-ready" doesn't necessarily mean it's being produced.
Based on your definition, even a "concept car" is "production ready", if that's what you want to produce.
But in a realistic sense "production ready" means you have all the design features set and are ready to build production dies and molds, have the production wireing peg-board and jigs designed, and have suppliers lined up, and a factory space ready to accept the machines required to build this thing.
Bet you'll not see this in the US any time soon. I wonder what its crash test ratings would look like.
It could be licensed like an experimental aircraft.
But... "I'll believe it when I see it."
Folks, we have heard this before, and "flying cars" have been around since the 50's. It's not practical in any sense of the word. Blade Runner is a fantasy that will not be realized for many, many years. It this point in time, "flying cars" solve no problems and create man oth
In short, the current HP is already the result of a split, and the "new" HP will be whatever bit keeps the name, but will it have any meaning beyond a badge?
Like Pillips and Kodak and many other "greats", HP is now only a marketing company for cheap Chinese crap designed by someone else.
If you read the article when Sierra Nevada submitted the lawsuit; they actually claimed they have never launched a legal dispute over the failure to win a contract...
Look, Sierra Nevada brews beer, and a damn good swill it is. But they have never successfully designed and launched a spacecraft, and never will. This is a frivolous challenge. Listen an ice cold bottle of Sierra Nevada Stout sends me into orbit. But let them go back to their solar powered factory and keep on brewing great beer, and leave space travel to the professionals.
CyanogenMod is missing the boat by being blinded by the *potential* for more cash. The ture reality is that Google's offer is the best they will get, and they fucked it up. Google will offer them much less when it becomes obvious that CyanogenMod made a mis-calculation.

If chimps are people, will they be able to vote? Hold political office? Cue the jokes.
Most of the First Posts at Slashdot are posted by chimps...

Silk Road Kingpin or not, I'm rooting for Ross here.
I wonder what the people he attempted to have murdered think about all this?
Troops are being sent because unprotected aid workers are being butchered to death.
In addition, many of those troops are medical workers.
I'm still irritated that none of the modern iterations of this comic do not include the side-kick character.
A high technology issues that many Slashdotters are well qualified to pontificate about.
This should be good!
Comcast isn't saying anything through their lawyers.
Who told you this? You have inside information?
It's nice to see rich and powerful corporations starting to stand up and oppose these abuses...

So money it is! Go for it, Twitter...
There is always "potential for litigation" if that applied, nobody would ever talk.
Reading comprehension seems to be lost on the youth of this country when some political axe needs to be ground.
I said he should talk through his lawyer, not that he should not talk.
He's cutting his own throat.

The right to work for less may be better than not working at all.
Ah yes, servitude. Is your maid black or Mexican?
It depends on the state. In many states, an employer can fire you for any reason or no reason at all ...
No.
In "right to work" states, you can fire someone for no reason at all, but even in these states, if you cite a reason, everything changes.

Not the case here.

Wow, someone wasted a mod point to down mod s lame joke. Stellar use of mod points!

Because, at the same time, we've been told HIV can't spread orally.
If you have cuts, scratches, or open sores in your mouth, it certainly can.
There where plenty of electric vehicles prior to General Moters buying all the street-car companies and replacing the cars with diesel buses.
