These days? You must be at least several hundred years old. Not looking at some exceptions, that is how it works at the top since at least the middle ages and most likely before that as well.
The methods and legal terms have changed, but that is about it. Everybody looks after number one. The ones at the top just do it a bit better for various reasons. Whether you take your power and/or money by sword or by legal process is irrelevant if the result is the same.
I am not going to work for the greater good of the company, the group or my cow orkers and I doubt many of they or even you do. Those that do are either lying or very unlikely to ever get to the top.
I could imagine that it is human behavior to try to become the alpha (fe-)male and in 'these days' that is measured in wealth and/or power.
When the original laborer who created the work dies, then the copyright should die as well.
The problem with this is if the copyright is owned by a group of people (like a company). Then you will have an issue if you need to keep track of all the people involved.
14 years sounds right to me. Even if the person dies, his kids would have the rights for the remaining part. Not an ideal solution, but easy to understand. e.g. This text is (c) Copyright October 2009. That means it would be public domain November 2009+14,whether I die or live.
The English are offended if you don't speak their language in their country if you visit and are offended if you don't speak English in your country when they visit. Now the Belgians are offended if you speak their language in their country unless you visit. Strange people these Belgians.
I know that if I look in YaST on my openSUSE box, I have plenty of games to select from. Just trying them out will take a considerable time. That will give you a better idea then what people would say THEIR preferences are. There is a reason there are so many games out there. It is about what you like.
LBreakout is still something I like. Just like foobilliard. Both included in my YaST. I am sure other distro's will have most of the same and many different games. Trying them all out is a game in itself.
Next you will hear that CERN should be more concerned about security. There is only one way however. If you do not want people to find out what they find out, don't start looking for it. It is not as if it is a super secret research facility.
Also most likely you could get information here in much more detail and the person arrested was seen to eat falafel in a place where the shop owners second cousins neighbor has the same name as somebody who was placed on the Al-Quida list by a jealous family member so he could get a reward payed out.
Vaccination is often all or nothing. Call it tyranny of the majority if you like-- most of us want to live. Deal with it.
Most of us will die of something. Deal with it. This year it is the flu. You can not protect everybody. If _I_ want to take the risk of dying of the flue (or more realistic, be sick for a few days) then that is MY option.
You take YOUR precautions, I will take mine.
My manager already had the swine flu, he was sick for 3 days and much less then with a 'normal' flu. So what is so special about this flu compared to other flu's that happen every year? The difference is the media attention.
The main point is to integrate them correctly and that is almost never done. Walk around in a real city and you see hundreds of different products and brands. In a game you will only see a hand full most likely, breaking the experience as well.
The problem is not that they won't use a pirated copy. The problem is that they won't use OpenOffice.org and thus basically abusing their monopoly again.
You probably thought that adding a free browser was a good idea as well. It isn't. If you are a monopoly, the rules are different. This must be seen as a direct attack on OpenOffice.org and is intended to destroy the competition. This is extremely bad and I hope that the law forbids them doing it.
Instead what they need to do is go to the prison system and see if the 65% number holds up.
While they are doing this in prison, they could investigate the dangers of breast milk. I am sure that a high percentage of criminals have been fed breastmilk and thus it will proove the dangers of it.

Even at 1 connections a second, in an entire year, an attacker could only guess 525,960 combinations. 10 connections a second?(REALLY fast...) 5.2M/year.
Working hours, the first question between the friends I have is 'Are you busy?' That means that the call is not important. It goes then something like this: Are you busy? -Yes OK, bye.
Then I can decide to either try later or send an sms which he can read at his own time. More often then not we just send an sms to determine at whate time and where we see each other to talk in person.
It's a natural response to the fact that email dialogues begin at the top of the message.
No it is not. What is natural is reading top to bottom. Question Answer Remark...
That way when you re-read the mail in 3 months because of an audit, you can follow the line of discussion.
Put a line of text, best a question, in the middle of a page, print it out and ask people to write down the answer or a remark. The place where that goes is the natural way.

A Geek Funeral
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
My great aunt, who was at a certain point the oldest women in the world, was the ueber geek. She decided when she was 85 that her body would go to science. She became 85. Her motivation? The young kids could learn from it and there would be no hassle with funerals for anybody.
The doctor who examined her made his findings public. Some morons wanted to sue that doctor for privacy invasion or something like that. Those idiots where no family, relatives or whatsoever. Thus they had no idea that my great aunt wanted EVERYBODY to learn from whatever they found.
I saw it and thought it was a spoof of some US ad I had not seen. I laughed so hard when I saw it I peed a little. I seriously thought it was hilarious.
It looks nice, but I am more interested in having less, and I mean much less, wires at my desk.
Power for my sound, 2 monitors, box, external HD, external DVD, cellphone, printer, router/modem. And then all the wires to connect the things. OK, I could loose one wire if I would go wireless. That would save me about 1m of wire.
I don't want a nice looking PC, If possible I do not want to see my PC at all.
A security key is indeed secure. The big disadvantage is that each site would ask you to have one. That would mean walking around with several keys. One for your bank, one for each credit card you have, one for paypal, one for...
That makes it useless in the end as it is unpractical to take all of these cards with you.

They handle every subject : http://www.xkcd.com/642/
Even their subject is accurate.
And I am aiming for 'sad but true' mod points.
Perhaps it is the other way around. Because all his girlfriends now have dyed their hair blue, he started to think Marge was sexy.

Perhaps you recently moved to California.
Except it is not millions with this one. It is thought to be 250.000-500.000

And that is worldwide. And that is nothing different compared to a 'normal' flu.

Putting it on another port is something I would call 'security through obscurity'.
To lower that to even less, I use http://www.aczoom.com/cms/blockhosts
Easy to install and I block an IP for 24 hours after 3 tries. So that would become an extremely slow attempt. You can obviously change those rates.
