If a person is criminal or criminally negligent (which is different from negligence), (s)he should be held accountable no matter what the role in a corporation.
Ridiculously high damage claims is an entirely different issue and, as I understand it, one that usually gets corrected by judges.
This is about whether the entity itself is considered a person, not whoever's running it.
If a corporation should be given personhood because it's run by humans, than surely cars, dolls and shoes deserve personhood too?
Go ask a Chipmanzee if it is human. Likely you'll get atleast some sort of response. Now go ask an office building if it is human and see what response it gives you.
Quite frankly, giving a Chimpanzee personhood is slightly less insane than giving a corporation personhood.
I've always wandered if and how Google would enforce that rule. Now we'll find out. My money is on "Pay lipservice to privacy in the media, keep supplying the Dubai police anyway".
No standardized testing means people taking responsibility means people occasionally making mistakes means people occasionally being sued into bankrupcy.
As an IT guy, I love standardized anything, but at some point standardization just becomes a shield to hide from responsibility and accountability.
Because oceans have ALWAYS been storing excess heat. This finding impacts the ocean's heat storage behaviour throughout it's entire existance, not just since humanity. It's the interpretation of the summary and article that is slack in extreme.
The internet doesn't exists. Throughout Earth's history, electrons have always been moving about. Just because they're moving about in man-made metal bits now, doesn't mean anything changed.
The first English monarch postdates Jesus by about 9 centuries. There was no "English King of that era". The Knights Templar started about 11 centuries after Jesus, and they were French.
What do you think the insurance companies will do? They can't stop my insurance. They can't raise prices or policy. They can't refuse to pay for medical care. They can't deny me insurance. Remember.. talking about countries other than the USA here. Generally that is how insurance companies work; they take on lots of individual risks, combining it into something more predictable as a group.
The question is whether black hat hackers are aware of the security holes.
Since Open Source projects communicate in the open (even if just version control commits), I find it quite likely that all major security-related projects are monitored by black hat hackers. The few weeks waiting period gives them ample time to use the security hole.
I dare bet fake names also account for a disproportionally large amount of activity. Why would you bother signing up a fake account if you're not going to use the account?
I definitely got stopped and ticketted more when I was driving my sporty looking car (2005 Toyota Celica) rather than my family car (Honda Civic Hybrid). Even more so when I was wearing a baseball cap. As far speedcams go, I got more tickets driving the family car. I guess cops are just really objective and unprejudiced.
Both Windows (7) and Linux (Ubuntu 14 and Crunchbang). The problem with the UI isn't with window managers or other technical parts; it's the design of the UI. The way an excessive amount of buttons are seemingly randomly slapped together in a toolbar. The way dialogs and popups don't follow platform styling. The way it defaults to a multi-window environment. I prefer to use an open source alternatives (like Audacity and Inkscape) whenever I can and most are easy enough to use. GIMP is so close yet so far away, all because of a very bad UI.
Same would be true for any other application, including GIMP.
FWIW, I prefer Photoshop. I can just about manage to get things done in GIMP, but it's not a pleasure; the UI is an utter mess. Not talking about it being different from PS, but about it being an utter mess all on it's own merits.
And I would love for old Paint Shop Pro to return instead of the crappy instagram-like PSP it's degraded into. Seriously; why did they Corel mangle PSP so badly? Old PSP was truely "Cheap Photoshop without the color management stuff few people need and even less people know how to use".
Prior to Windows 8, what exactly where people using to start applications if they were not using the start menu? Or did they just notice the start menu was being used less often because people were keeping applications open?

A corporation would be neither happy nor sad about that news.
The owners and directors of the corporation will be shitting in their pants, though.

I'm suggesting you should be able to sue the humans responsible for the crimes of a corporation and not sue either chimps or corporations as all.
I thought Mint just used Ubuntu packages?

Yes, and other words will be ass-raped by political lobbyists as well.
Doesn't change the effect it has on the climate.

"western world" != "US".
You understand that in most of the western world, insurance companies aren't allowed to do anything with that kind of information, right?
Atleast since HTTP/1.0

Super (Windows) key does the same. Just saves you a finger-stretching keyboard combo there :)
"Plain vanilla distri" for debian or redhat?

Huge and --apparently-- very, very flacid.
