I know somebody who started with this a few years ago. When I spoke to him he said the easy part was the technical stuff. The hard part was the administration and actualy getting the money from people. Then there was the moment he was accepting credit cards and he ended up paying the fraud that went on.
So see that your administration and bookkeeping skills are top
It is by law. Obviously when another company hires you, they will be aware of this as well and know they have to wait a bit. You can also get away if both parties agree on it. Also there are obviously exeptions. e.g. if you are cicked out for severe causes (theft) you do not get past go, you get kicked out immidiatly. Many companies just let you leave almost imediatly.
Due to downsizing twice I ance was allowed to leave with a 7 months payment and the next one was with a 5 months payment. Companies know these rules as well and calculate them into their business operations.
In Europe the protection is to the people in the first place.
Sad thing is, most people don't give a shit and don't want to hear anything that makes them feel more discomfort than they can reasonably handle based on the limits which they have received from the programming received from TV and school.
That is my experience as well. The risk the company has that you might hold a grundge against them and left because of that and thus might want to hurt them can be real.
Who do you give root access to? To people you trust. People who are loyal to your cause. If people leave, it means they are no longer loyal.
Also it is better to revoke rights of everybody as a policy. That way you won't forget to remove them later. A friend of mine had access to an ISPs root account several years after he left.
The best thing you can do is just ask what they want documented and do that. Also realise that for them you are already gone. Do all your requests by email. That way they can not blame you afterwards of spoiling things for them
One group worth targeting in your donation are college students - often they are short on cash
Just buy them beer. That way you can donate directly and the students will have their own money available for whatever they want (like buying you a beer back) I am not sure how much beer you need to donate to get a tax refund.

The problem with trains is time to deliver. This is often much longer then when you do it by road. At least in Europe. You have both the loading and unloading still to do.
Also trains are very interesting when you have a large load going from place A to place B. However many times you only have one or a few containers going from place A to place B. So you wll need to wait till others are going from A to B as well, because the traibn is not going to drive just for you.
As you still need road transport from office till A and from B till the other place, the time you loose in having to be there, waiting till the whole train is loaded, waiting till the train is unloaded, waiting some more for papers, is probable too great and the road is still cheaper.
I have seen times of a week, where via the raod is would be one day.
We always say time is money and a week is thus a lot of money.
Investigations into this are not only done behind a PC doing a whois and a traceroute. They are being done by going into the field and see what is going on. Who gave the orders and so on.
The trace routes and so on a a mere start that could catch some small fish. It should not be anything else and it could even mean that nothing technical is used. The main investigation will be happening on a complete different level. That means on a more social level.
Don't think you can solve a social problem with a technical solution.
A link could be that somebody from the Kremlin started to finance a group of crackers after the crackers proposed the idea. It could be just that. The difficulty then lies in to prove that the financing is directly linked to the proposal of the attack. That means more investigations that have not much to do with the actual attack.
I would hate not to have a choice on what Union I join. In Belgium there is no union per profession. You have different unions who have different branches. Also each company with more then 50 employees MUST have a union representative(s) who everybody (even non-union workers) can vote for.
Nobody in the company care whether I am a member of a union or not.
So if I would not like how one union represented me, I would be able to go to an other. Choice matters.
I saw the first 3 just before number 4 came out. I was old enough to see them when they first came out, yet never did. I didn't like them, but still gave number 4 a chance. That can not be unseen.:-(
At best the first three were nice movies, like there are hundreds more.
I still do nit understand what the big fuzz was about 'Luke, I am your father'. It is used in soaps all the time. Entertaining, nothing more.
but then applies some moderation system (whether staff moderators, or some public rating system, or whatever) to present a moderated view of the content.
Here on/. we already have some sort of moderators: the editors. Now imagine that they are going to moderate you with the same inteligence and insight they do with articles.
It is also very much a marketing issue. Especialy those companies (Novell and RedHat) who sell their distributions. There is no financial reason for them to adopt to somebody elses time line.
Software development is always a process. This means that there will always be differences in speed for different reasons. Next you will be wanting that KDE, GNOME and XFCE bring out a new release at certain points in time. What about browsers?
What if KDE or GNOME is delayed, would that mean the whole world has to wait? I would say, release early, release often.
With all the things that is going on, what would be nice is a 'current' release all the time. So not so much version based, but much more date based. meaning no matter when I download something, I will get the latest (stable) version of whatever is available, without the need of waiting for the rest of the distro to be ready.
I am aware that that is more wishful thinking, yet so is Mark's idea and mine is better.
When I do know the ending from hearing it from others, it has no affect on my enjoyment of the movie. Great film making is great film making. Everyone knew the ending of "Titanic" but it is the biggest blockbuster ever.
I only partly agree. It depends on the movie. A film like the 6th sense rides on the surprise and thus gives you a different experience that you now will never have. Many other movies do not depend on the twists and turns of the story, like LotR. Many people enjoyed it even though it was clear what would happen.
Many movies are just a trip from A to B, like LotR. You have a ring, you need to get rid of it and that is what happens. Other movies, like the sixt sense, the change of direction in the story is the goal of the storyteller.
Yes, American movies seldom use the twist to suddenly point in a complete different direction. Most of the time they just sidestep a bit, or they go completely overboard and do more turns then a drunken balerina. One thing you often need not to do is think and that is what those plot twists need.
Then replace it with e.g. Notepad++ or EditPad or many of the other programs. Then just use tab divided 'fields' in your txt (or csv) file.
Or if changes do not happen often, you can put it in html file with tables. That you can look at with your favorite browser. Doubleclick the html file and you have your details in nice columns.
Even if you look at the different definitions people put to it.
What is missing is pre-instalations. And I am not talking about some odd system here or there. I am talking about 50-100% of the machines out there in either single or dual boot.
Most people will want to buy a computer that works and do not care wether that runs Windows, Linux, MacOS or whatever.
And even then most people will keep on using Windows, because people do not like change. To most people Windows is not broken, so they have no need to fix it.
Novells SLES and SLED are released every 18 months. openSUSE is released every 8 months. Also SLES and SLED are maintained 7 years.
Does this mean manpower? Yes, especialy for the parts of the distribution where no updates are provided anymore. e.g. where the production has completely halted. This has to be maintained by Novell themselves. Just download the source if you so desire and you can copy and paste it into your own code.
How do they do it, except for editing the code? https://build.opensuse.org/. Hey Mark, if you like, you can download it and put your distributions on it, letting the community handle the security updates. It is able to build complete distributions, so you can then build them as often as you desire. Yes, it handles Ubuntu as well.

In Belgium the first 5 years is officialy 3 weeks notice and 6 weeks for the company. Then it becomes 6 and 12 and goes up even more after 10 years.
