That is 400 USD per user or 15.000 USD per company. It shows how much I am worth and that is why I do not want to sell my privacy to companies for just free email or some other stuff.
I am not getting stuff for free. I am being robbed and they should at least give me a value of 400USD or my company a value of 15.000 USD.
Isn't it already? I mean I see tv shows asking for my money all the time. Radio shows asking for donations.
Or what happens with that money and what if somebody actually found a cure for cancer? Would they say: "ey, we got this great thing because the people gave us money, so let us open-source it and give it away for free, so anybody can produce it and people can buy it at the lowest price."
Or would they say "Sod them, this is where people will give their and their kids money for, so let's charge that."
Sounds less like angst, and more like the Apple employee was doing what they should have done. Apple would be liable if they knowingly sold a iPad to someone about to break the export restrictions.
That is your problem right there. If I buy an item, it is MY responsibility. They can arrest me or do whatever they desire, but not the Apple store or any other store.
It would be better for the person to get the gift from somebody in Europe, where you can buy legal unlocked ones.
He own the domain. People send the mail to him. So I hope that they trow that part out. The receiver can not be responsible, the sender should be.
This does not mean that I agree with what he does. He did a lot things wrong, but unlawful interception isn't one of them.
If they will allow it, whenever you get a mail by mistake, YOU will be responsible. For now the stoopid signatures that legal adds to your external mail mean nothing. For now!
I would say that you should visit other countries. And I am not talking about Canada or Mexico. I mean seriously travel.
My experience is that people who have traveled and seen other countries are better able to handle unexpected situations and stress. Things that will be helpful when you are in a working environment and other situations later in life.
And it is so much fun at the same time. If possible take a year and work in another country at any odd job for a few weeks before going on the road again.
My guess is that Google wants to keep the feds on their good side.
That is an issue all by itself, because it implies that the government can hold a grudge against companies. This means companies (and thus the people in charge of those companies) are afraid of the government.
Where I work (in Belgium) we get regular requests from the government and police and what not. Unless they have a court order, what we basically say is "Sod off". I know of one situation where police officers where escorted out of the building as they did not have a court order with them.
And we do not care if this is about a divorce dispute, child porn or Al Quada posting where they are on our bulletin board in the kitchen.
If we do not get a lawful request, meaning including a court order, we give nothing and do not even note it as a request. OTOH if they do have a court order, we will do everything possible to give what they want and sometimes even also what they need.
As a kid, we already had Augmented Reality in game-play.
We played soldiers, cowboys and Indians and any other game. OK, instead of a 17 button game console controller, we used a stick and instead of Augmented Reality Glasses we used our imagination, but still.
If they are buying stuff for themselves, they could just do the purchase at home, instead of doing it on the companies machines.
If they are buying for their department, they can encourage the IT department to solve the issue. One way to do that would be to ask. Another would be to put the 7% on their budget.
It depends. I know of one company who was informed by their competition that a fired employee was trying to, uh, promote themselves by explaining what data he had available for them. The reason they did this was because otherwise they would risk HUGE settlement costs after wards. Just not worth the risk.
It depends on the person as well on the reason for being fired as well as company policy. I have seen several situations.
1) The person being fired has been a complete asshole. The company takes away all his rights and just annoy him by forcing him to come anyway. This I have seen happen only once and the asshole deserved it. 2) You do your whole time. 3) An agreement will be made where part of the time is being done and the other is being payed out. 4) You are required to leave the company immediately and you get payed out in full.
3 and 4 is what happens most of the time. And being fired is not a 2 weeks pay check. I have been fired, requested to leave the building (after saying goodby to my co-workers) and got a check for 5 months pay (even though I was entitled for only 3. Thanks boss). Got a job after a months holiday. The reason was downsizing. I got fired at another job and I had to stay on for 3 months and then got payed 7 months. Already had a job lined up. Only took a week of then.
The difference between the two was basically company policy. At the first company if you were fired, you would leave the same day, no matter what the reason. No matter what the project. No matter what your job description was. Yes, that included the CEO and COO and others.
I hardly ever see 2. What happens most of the time is 3 and people can (and will) often leave earlier.
Obviously if they fire people for theft or other grave reasons, then they will be leaving right away. However most of the time it is pretty civilized.
If we can film them in public places then they can do the same
No, they can't. They are there to enforce the law. They are not a news agency. If they have issues on how people behave, they should go to court. Then a judge can decide if it was illegal or not.
In no way should they be able to start posting these. Very specific exceptions might be given by a judge, not even by themselves. And only if it could help solve a case.
why not go for the socially skilled hacker? You know, one that is not thinking that the company is there so the IT department exists.
I know, many will say that without IT the company would not exist. Well, that goes for any other department as well. If the company could do without them, they would not exist.
You wonder why people do not get any promotions? This is why. Why risking to give them a promotion and then leave, while they do nicely what they do now.
What we do is first open the position inside the company. People interested inside have the first opportunity. That does not automatically means that they get the job.
The chances of somebody taking the job so they can leave still exist, but are reduced by a lot. In my department I am perfectly well aware who is sick of their job and for what reason. If an opportunity opens, I will suggest to some to go for the job. This if the motivation to do what they do now lacks because they have been doing it too long.
I also have told people to look elsewhere if they are so unsatisfied with what they are doing.
I, and all bosses I have worked for, rather have happy people in an other department then unhappy people in their own. And those that go to the competition? Well, good for them.
Presumably they're not violating the privacy of the inmates
Yes they are. In Europe privacy does mean something much more complexx then it does in the USofA. It does not just mean: "Things I do in my house with the curtains closed". It goes much, much further then that.
Perhaps you can best compare it to the original copyright where I have the right to my own life and everything that goes on it it. And copyright as me, the owner of my life. You should have my permission of you want a copy of it.

It also is 1984, because Google has the data AND the technology to cross reference.
By the same logic, neither should a company.
I rather have 2 24" then 1 27". I actually have three. Each with 6 workspaces. I would not be able to do that with one screen.

I have no idea how you look like, but I am sure Victoria's Secret Runway Model would prove to be a serious challenge.
True for many distro's. Not so for openSUSE. I just add the NVidia repo and be done with it.

Perhaps they wanted to be close to Heidi Klum.

Now get of my lawn.
Did he change it because it is now known worldwide or did he change it because he thought it was a bad idea?
Most likely the first reason. A good thing would have been if this would not happened at all.
I use http://www.poivy.com/en/index.html to make my international calls.
It is just one of the Betamax VoIP providers. A list can be found here:
http://www.backsla.sh/betamax
What I do is call a fix number, which asks for the line I want to call. Or when I have an Internet connection, I use the Android app.
When I do a payment, I get 90 days free calling. After that it is still extremely cheap. Now it is 2 cents per minute for Spain.
