Most things you say balance out. So all I need to do is turn in my privacy for no apparent reason. No wonder I decline all invitations.
Also remember that once you are on there, you can never get out of it again. Things you are proud of now might embarrass you in 10 years, no matter how normal they are now.
Keep your privacy or at least defend it as much as possible.
As there is NO information, it is hardly worth the trouble. In Belgium I get underpayed and over payed almost all the time, although the amounts are small. This is due to several errors that are simply rectified.
No need to go 'lawsuit' on each and every thing. e.g. if my paycheck says 1.000 and my bank says 1.100, I will have to pay back the 100. If mt paycheck says 900 and my contract says 1.000, they will owe me 100.
Not rocket science, no need for lawsuits. Sure I could go to court each and every month. Severance payment are not different. They are just a payment, although much larger and normally the last one you receive.
This stuff happens all the time, regardless of how well intended your (ex-)employer is. And if you do not come to an agreement, you can go to court. There is a special court in Belgium for disputes between employee and employer. They will look at the paperwork and will very fast decide what the legal amount is. Even if you and the employer have a contract saying 900 and the legal minimum is 1000, then that is what needs to be payed.
I am sure that the people at the various companies like RedHat, Novell, IBM, will be angry to hear that they will not be getting any more money, because the work is joy enough.
I just ask friends if they have eaten somewhere or just go and look at it myself. I look up restaurants for type of food and price range. The rest I will see when I get there. If the food is realy, realy, realy bad (only had that happen twice in many, many years) I have a good laugh over it.
There is one type of restaurant I would never enter. Empty ones. When on the road, I try to look for places with a lot of truckers in front. Otherwise will look at places where a lot of locals go to. An almost full place is a good way of knowing that the food will be good.
Not only that. Fighting monopolies is not OR/OR it is AND/AND. You can fight both Microsoft and Google and whomever else is out there at the same time.
It is Darwinism in process. in just a few generations, we will have kids who are able to be fast enough to jump away from the car just in time. (It's a joke, laugh.)
I am sure that if there would be copyrighted material on TPB, they also would gladly remove it. However they do not host the copyrighted material. They host torrents that point to files. There torrent files (download one and see what it contains) itself is not copyrighted.
It is as if I would have a link to copyrighted material on a site. That site has a copyright notice on their site. Now would/. be guilty of me posting it, or should I be guilty of posting that. And even if it was myself, would I be doing something illegal at all?
I can imagine that they would not look at the traffic, but look on your system to what the password of your Outlook Express is. There are already things that van do that and I would suspect it can be re-written to do get the password without you knowing it and then use it to spam the world. http://www.filetransit.com/files.php?name=Reveal_Outlook_Express_Password
Why do you think we imprison more of our population than any other western country?
If that would be true, it would be good news. Unfortunatly it is much, much worse. 25% of all prisoners worldwide. Much more then China that has more people.
The problem is not so much that we can not verify who the sender is. The problem is that the cost of delivery is on the receiver and not the sender.
I was told that when postal services began, the receiver would pay for the letter. Two brothers would send each other empty letters if all was well, so they first held the envelope against the light and if it was empty, refused it. If full they would accept it.
That way the cost of delivery was with the postal service. So what they decided to do is 'invent' the post stamp. I know this solution would not work as easy with SMTP, however if we want a solution for email spam, this is an option we should consider and not trow aside immediately.
You could not have stopped 9/11. You can not stop people who are suicidal. One will eventualy succeed. It is not wether you can stop them but how you deal with them if they succeed. And sometimes you just have to say "Oh well, shit happens." and go on.
Markoff says it's hard to prove your identity on the internet, and proposes government regulation as a solution.
For this you do not need Internet 2, Internet 1 does this perfectly as the Belgians have proved. Open source and available: http://eid.belgium.be/ Difference is that Belgians already had an identity card with them any way.
Because the ID card was already accepted, it was not a technical solution to a social problem, because the social issue (having an ID card or not) was already dealt with.
It would also be nice not to publish somebody elses email address, unless you are the owner of that xxxx address, best just use xxxx@example.com RFC 2606

SIt all depends on the what and how and why.
Welcome to the bi-party system.
Sure they will give you money. Say 50USD. To finance this, they just make you pay 5USD per month extra in taxes over the next 5 years.
I am sure that the people at the various companies like RedHat, Novell, IBM, will be angry to hear that they will not be getting any more money, because the work is joy enough.
Yes. That was easy. Next!

If people do not go out of the way, they clearly did not respect it enough.

The question is if that is illegal or not. I would think (hope) not.
Why the long article? They could just use your disclaimer.
If that would be true, it would be good news. Unfortunatly it is much, much worse. 25% of all prisoners worldwide. Much more then China that has more people.
There is a link to http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/us/23prison.html?_r=1&hp=&pagewanted=allp">a NY Times article in there as well. 751 per 100.000 or 1.000 per 100.000 when only calculating adults. That is 1% of the population. UK is 151, Germany is 88.
Piracy is theft. Basically you steal the ability from the music industry to print money.
Ultimately is long term. Most companies think only short term.

Pitty that there is no country that has that.
