I have people say that they knew more about the subject then I did. It was true as well. However even though I did not have their skills, they apparently also did not have mine. Otherwise they would be doing my job.
I have often seen people who became team leader or something of the like, because they were the best in their field. Most of them unfortunately did not have the needed skills to become a team leader and left the company after a shorter or longer period. That does not mean you should not acknowledge that knowledge. That could even mean they earn the same amount or more then their N+1.
While the city may have a shitty IT setup, is that illegal? Probably not. However what Childs did WAS illegal.
And even if what the city did was illegal, that does not make it ok for Child to do something illegal.
Car analogy: If I get caught with speeding in by bosses car, I get a fine. Saying that by boss stole the car would not take away with the speeding ticket by saying by boss stole the car, so he committed a bigger crime.
He is writing a column. That makes him a columnist, not a journalist. A columnist writes about what he thinks and that does not have to be true, nor does it have to be the opinion of the newspaper and nor will you be anything like a journalist.
The summery is pretty vague about this. Telling he is a journalist and then telling he might be protected if you work for a newspaper. That hints in some direction. What if he became the person cleaning the toilets at the newspaper? Would that be the same?
And on top of that, most of the time it will be a company car (at least in Belgium) so the company will pay for their cellphone connections anyway.
And then some will have a driver and will be wanting to have the ability to work in the back on their portable and Iphone/Blackberry just as if they are in the office.
This is not marketed to people where the kids can do online status updates during the school run. That will be done with moms SUV.
I could do it. Perhaps I would get to a different conclusion, but I could easily make that analysis. I am hopeful that every sane person is able to make that analysis. They will differ in the conclusions, but people should be able to dot it.
So if my predecessor creates a huge problem, and it takes me time to find a solution that his cronies won't block, that makes the huge problem just as much my fault?
That will probably be the way the next elections will go. Republicans will say that Obama did not solve all the issues he promised to solve and that he therefore is a bad candidate. They will not say who made the mess.
People will believe it and vote Republican, who then can start to say there is either no problem or the problems are caused by and start solving that "problem" with another war on whatever.
I hate that there is no serious alternative. Vote Republican? Bad things happen. Vote Democrats? Bad things happen. You can vote to shoot in your left or in your right foot.
openSUSE also has this and it collects more data. It is used to see what hardware you run, among other things. And then there is Smolt that is used as well.
openSUSE also gets a lot of information from their redirecting of download.opensuse.org.
The excitement is not that there is a candy bar in a swimming pool. The excitement is how it got there. (And perhaps if it really IS a candy bar and not just LOOKS like some chocolate bar)
Are you sure your country doesn't have such a deal? I can imagine how the talks went: "We are going to ban your hardware, because we can't listen in." "Why did you not say that earlier. Here is a server so you can listen in on everything. Oh and here are the keys for the backdoors, so you don't need to call us again."
It is becoming scary how we all start to accept how easy and normal it is to gather information and listen in on people. Some people would call it privacy, I call it personal freedom and I will try to defend it as much as I can.
Welcome to politics 101. Every government blames the previous one. And every party in the opposition will say that government is wasting money, even if it is something they themselves pushed through. Left, right, center. It makes no difference.
My PC is as far away as possible in the corner under my table. I have a USB DVD player on my desk and a USB connection for all my other things I want to connect to it (Camera,...)
I was most afraid of a person I drove with who did not go faster then the legal minimum on the highway in Germany (70kmh/44mph). I think that was the most dangerous drive I ever did in my life. Driving in the city was equally dangerous.
Sometimes you read that people took 60+ driving exams before they passed. What should happen is that there should be an exponential time between exams. Fibonacci would be good if calculated in weeks. Not too harsh in the beginning, but devastating for people who are just unable to grasp driving. After 10 times people have to wait at least a year.
Well, I indeed use it as an excuse for theft. I go into the store and steal the DVDc, CDs and books I want. I even steal the DVD players and TV sets to use them. That way when somebody raids my house and sees I have about 10.000 CDs and DVDs that where stolen, I will be paying much less then somebody who did some copyright infringement of 3 numbers on their mp3 player from an album they bought.
DoublePlusGood! When people ask me what my nationality is, I answer with the nationalities my parents and my sister has. That is 4 of them. To even confuse them more, I tell them the nationality where my name came from and the country I live in. That places me a bit around the world.
And then there are people who ask me where I was born or even what age I am. When I ask them "And what are you going to do with that information?" people look at me with a blank stare. Who cares if I am born in whatever country?
People the suddenly want to discuss the politics or whatever from that place. I don't know. They have been there probably more often then I have.
I would change nationalities in a hart beat if there was anything positive about the result. For me there are only negative elements. It takes a LOT of time, effort and money. I will not have any more or less rights. I will not pay my taxes any differently. So for me it is easier to just go to the embassy every 5 years to get my traveling passport.
I respect the soldiers who were send there before the Iraqi war. I do not respect those who enlisted afterwords.
The first group did not have a choice. The last group must not complain about people who want to trow them out of THEIR country. I am sure Americans would do the same if Lichtenstein invaded them. They had a choice: not enlisting.

2 hours? I would have thought something like 30 minutes per consumption. Also I would say it is needed to ask up front. Still free.
Linux is not Ubuntu. And do not even get me started on the R&D of Ubuntu. I would see it as a blessing if Ubuntu were to disapear.
(Mod me troll and see if I care)

This is so cool. Mod parent up. It is better then all the "Put HDs in there" posts and is actually a good idea.

It is already out in the open. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. Or "Things that have been seen can not be unseen."
Perhaps it is just a variation of "tell me your name and I tell you who you are".
We won, because this time WE had more money. They were not paying their lawyers anymore.
So nothing changed. The one with the most money wins.

Then the Spanish have a great idea: no text.
Perhaps your Chinese is not clear to them and you speak the wrong Chinese dialect?

So are police cars and fighter jets. That does not mean I can just use them (If I were a US citizen)
