My former boss asked me to make some data public that was in a user's private folder, after the user quit the company. In the contract that the user signed it was mentioned that no such data could be accessed without the user's permission.
Write an email to your boss, expressing your disagreement with his request and that you're willing to do what he asks you, but under protest. Then if your boss replies that he agrees with that, you can do what you've been asked to do without you being responsible.

What if they simply register another domain and ask the guy to put up a link on his page? I'm sure that if they pay him a small amount he'll agree. It's better than losing a website and the IOC is sure to have visitors pointed to the right location.
Last summer they tested the 'arms'. Very impressive. Takes more than half an hour for it to be fully closed. Last year it was automatically activated for the first time since its creation. Yeah, i feel safe too:)
Truecrypt let's you access an encrypted disk based on the password you give out. So just make a disk containing useless, obvious stuff that binds to your 'fake' password. Then when asked for you to decrypt your data, give them the fake pass and still protect/hide your 'real' data. I doubt they'll be studying your laptop for long if you have some pdf files and pictures on, let's say, gardening.
This conversation often comes up when i'm talking about games with younger people. I remember playing the same game, the same phase in that game, for weeks, sometimes even months! Remember the Kings Quest series where you had to find numerous ingredients to make some crazy potion and had to go through all kinds of weird places to almost score with a chick in Leisure Suit Larry. The increasingly difficult and hugely entertaining puzzles in 7th Guest and 11th Hour, and not to mention the fun hours playing Day of the Tentacle.
I am a huge fan of ScummVM and play some of these games still every now and then. Some months ago my wife and i re-played The Dig, the game that was supposed to be a movie but due to budget became a video game.
Yeah..
And Zelda for the NES is just nothing compared to the one for Wii, i'm sorry. Must be because i'm an old fart (damn, i'm only 31!) but these newer games lack the fun and playability (playing for weeks and still finding it amazingly funny and challenging) that the older games had. Sure there are exceptions, but games like KQ,LLL.MI,DOTT and the like are classics which no modern game can top.
Do Americans still have first-year Latin classes? I guess it's probably been superseded by "cheerleading" or something like that.
They do, actually. One of the first texts they have to learn is Lorem Ipsum. Which i'm told is a much more accurately-kept ancient text than even Ceasar's!
I'm not surprised we Dutch are trying (and apparently succeeding) to hack public transportation systems facilities if you look at the current pricing of our own system. Provides for a good motivation. But the most recent exploit was also the main reason why the introduction of the so-called chipcard is delayed again. Which in turn leads to more development, therefor more costs and thus the prices increase;)
How about somebody sets up a company that provides verified email addresses. With verified, i mean age-verification. Sure it takes some time to set up an account, but then any company can use these addresses to send an age-verification email to.
I don't care what company you are and what products you normally sell. If you can create something as useful as this, you deserve respect. Well done!
I quickly scanned the article, but i couldn't find a built-in lcd. That would've been perfect, although i can assume the power comsumption would be too heavy and you'll end up losing half a day because of it. *shrug* Wonderful device though.
I'll skip your question because i'm European;P and i'll add something to it. I once dated an American girl and she thought that 911 was the emergency number for everybody. No, not just everybody in the US. Everybody in the world! Well, i thought it was funny... Arrogant, and funny.

We have found the excuse we need to continue polluting the air. Way to go, humanity!

Isn't voluntary work by definition unpaid?
equals wormhole! Ha! Ha! Ha.. oh never mind.
Judging by the content of your post, I assume none of these programs you pirated back then included a spell checker.
Good call. I'll mod him up right after this post.
I live near the largest 'robot' in the world, the Maeslantkering, also part of the Deltawerken: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maeslantkering

Indeed, and the 2-words-only-commands found in some games were sometimes a hell to get right :)

Read the first pdf you've posted. It's not the same.

No, but they might have WMD. While we're photos^Wgathering evidence we should invade quickly!
Pah, i wouldn't use it. Have you seen how blurry certain parts of the screen are? It's totally useless in its current form.
In that case i know of a certain company in Redmond that might be interested.
Copying a file now only takes weeks, whereas before it could take years! SP2 is going to make it even faster by reducing it to mere days!

the movie, comes to mind ...
Just have lots of Head & Shoulders cans ready and we'll be fine!
