I agree with the previous comment about asking your company for permission to release the fixes. But if that is not practical, it's easy enough for you to write up a description of the bug and was was needed to resolve it and then circulate this information. If someone else then resolves it by writing their own code, you are safe from copyright liability.
That being said, watch out for NDAs that you may have signed - be cautious if you think someone else may gain a competitive advantage over your former company if you release this information.
Worst thing that could happen is that he thinks you're stupid. But, even if he does, he should try to write code that you understand.
It's always a good idea to get people in the mindset that their work will need to be maintained by someone else, because they won't be there after they are promoted. So they aren't writing for themselves, but for the next guy, who obviously won't be as brilliant as they are.
Nothing beefs up an argument better than bringing the Nazis into it.
While you may feel that broken windows and other acts of vandalism and the fear they instill are not worth pursuing, you would probably feel differently if it was your window that was broken or your family that was scared for their safety.
Some have called these crimes "victimless", but they are not. We are all victims of these useless crimes. We all pay the cost of the cleanup - either through higher costs passed along by the businesses affected or higher insurance rates to cover the losses.
A lot of people don't understand that, when you attack the police, you are not making a statement against authority, you are attacking the community served by the police.
I must distinguish that I am not talking about acting against the unjust actions of a police officer, but the unprovoked attacks against people that we, as a community, entrust with preserving the public order. There are many just arguments that individual police officers committed offences during the protests (and some of been deservedly repremanded), but no one car argue that a police vehicle sitting in the street did them wrong.
Those police vehicles were destroyed in a wanton rampage and no matter how long they were left there, there can be no justification for torching them.
I think it's about time there was a response to this Black Bloc crap. No one should have the right to anonymity preserved in the comission of a crime.
The purpose of protest is to be noticed. Too many people are using legetimate protest as a cover for hooliganism, and it's a shame.
While 10 years is a lot, it's the maximum. I'd be surprised if it wasn't just double the maximum for doing the same thing without a mask, which seems perfectly fair to me. I think the majority of cases will involve people in masks being arrested, identified and released without charge. Hopefully it will reverse the trend of anonymous violence embedded in legitimate protest.
This sounds like a materially adverse change to your Blackberry service. You should be able to cancel your contract without an ETF. Maybe if enough people do this, they will fix it.
Of course it would be the best ever... With version numbers for each day and diffs available that only contain the changes. The whole thing would be available as an rss feed and would be free, of course.
Many HD DVD buyers will be upset and have a slightly negative opinion of HD-DVD. Then, when the consumer goes and gets edjukated, he'll go with blu-ray, because it holds more data (because 50 is bigger than 30, just like the 7800 is almost 6000 points better than the X1900).
Yes, the initial energy does have to come from somewhere. In the end, it all comes from the sun (diesel is just rotten and compressed plant matter from a long time ago).
Direct solar energy is the ideal source of the energy to separate the water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Pop (as in boom), I guess you missed that science class. Very similar to the way methane burns (quickly and explosively).
As for dissolve... The atoms ionize at the electrodes (H gives up an electron to one electrode and O takes one from the other electrode) and dissolve into the electrolyte (which does not actually have to be liquid... It's usually some sort of gel in practical fuel cells). The electron given up by the O travels through the circuit from one electrode to the other, driving your load (i.e. doing the work).
Practically the efficiency is much less (i.e. if you actually want to do something with it). But if your load is close to zero, the temperature is low enough and you use the best materials possible (platinum infused teflon electrodes and highly concentrated KOH electrolyte, if memory serves correctly) you can get into the 95% range for efficiency. This is not practical, just possible.
The way a fuel cell works is the same as burning straight Hydrogen. 4 Hydrogen atoms combine with 2 Oxygen atoms to form 2 Water molecules. When you burn Hydrogen, it happens all at once in one big pop (or bang!). In a fuel cell, the atoms dissolve into the water at the electrodes and combine in solution. The reaction is much more controled and generates an electric potential at the electrodes.
As far as efficiency is concerned, the seperation of Hydrogen and Oxygen (by electrolosis) from water and the subsequent recombination in a fuel cell (creating electrical energy) is over 95% efficient. That compares to around 30% for a good diesel engine.
In high school, I actully built a rudementary fuel cell as a science project.
Most companies I have worked at provide bonuses, RRSP matching (think 401k, only up here, where it's colder) and other compensation. I also do some work on the side.
By the time I add all that stuff up and tell them that is what I am currently making, I've pretty much reached the base salary I am looking for.
The key is in how you word it. Obviously you can't say "my current base pay is", you have to say "I am currently making about...".
Another key is to be somewhat vague. If you are making $65k/year, say "in the high sixties, looking for something in the low seventies".
If you are very underpaid, don't be afraid to mention this to your new employers as a reason you are looking for a new job. This will ensure they offer something above what you are currently making.
Also remember that when they offer you a job, it's an offer and it's probably not final. I've never accepted the first offer and always received a better offer.
http://www.openxchange.org/ - Open Xchange should make your list of "almost what you need". It has a great interface and excellent functionality.

First things first, you need reliable storage. We have NetApp filer doing the job. The delivery mail spool is shared amongst servers over NFS on a dedicated GB LAN.
Second: Load balancing. We use an F5 BigIP to balance incoming mail connections (smtp, imap and pop3).
Third: separation of duties. We have a set of externally connected mail servers. These systems route all mail. Mail destined for local delivery gets transferred to a second set of internal mail servers. The external mail servers block spewing, ban known spammers and virus check smaller mail files. The internal mail servers accept mail only from the external mail servers. They run spam assassin and clamav to stop spam and viruses. We use exim as the mta, but anything will do.
That's it.
We use maildir for mail storage, cyrus-imapd for imap and a custom system for pop delivery (which sucks, but I won't get into that here).
It was somewhat foolish to give up your job right away. Income is good and you never really know what the current job seeking environment is like until you are in it.
I just finalized a new job today, and I am still working at my old job. I have arranged things so that there will be no interuption in pay... In two weeks time I will just show up at a different office.
Finding a good job takes time. If you are still working for your old boss, you can afford to be choosy and pick the right job, not the first job. It also allows you to pick 4-5 jobs per week to apply to and write customized resumes and cover letters, instead of carpet-bombing resumes.
Anyways, what's done is done. Good luck with your job search and don't forget to use your friends and former co-workers as much as you can. Also, when your get that letter of offer, remember it is a negotiation, you can usually get them to go a little higher on pay and / or vacation [and / or benefits, which isn't as big a deal in my country].
Stability is great, but being unemployed is also stable.
Remember (and try to find a polite way of letting your employer know) that you can only offer the level of commitment to them that they are prepared to offer you. There is very little security in contract work, but there is also little security in the first few months of a full-time position. Make sure that your contract time will count against any probationary period that your company mandates and that your benefit waiting periods will be reduced by the amount of time you work under contract (assuming they do hire you in 6 months).
It's not a bad idea to let your employer know that you don't consider the contract position as a real job and you will still be looking for a real job until they offer you a full-time position.
Basically the whole story is a lie. The judged sealed the transcripts of the hearing (probably because of the confidential email the SCO lawyers read aloud), so the author couldn't have checked her facts. All the witnesses who attended the hearing and reported back to Groklaw say that IBM never said anything about "losing" code.
I have a Zaurus SL-C760 (great PDA) and I reconize the Qtopia interface in the pictures. The Qtopia PDA apps aren't all that great but the do the job. The best part is that they should be able to be easily replaced...
With the huge hard-drive, you may even be able to run evolution on it.

Agreed, this story is bullshit. The problem is not with Apple Mail, but with GPG Tools. Disable or remove GPT Tools and you are good to go.

Ask him to explain the code.
That will not be easy for him and should show him why coding standards are important.

I get the distinct impression will be seeing a surge in Italian YouTube videos with a "Screw you, Berlusconi" theme.

A nice graph of fuel cell efficiency.
Practical fuel cell efficiency is around 50% (it is temperature dependent), less if you are using methanol instead of pure hydrogen.
Combustion is a chemical reaction.
The way a fuel cell works is the same as burning straight Hydrogen. 4 Hydrogen atoms combine with 2 Oxygen atoms to form 2 Water molecules. When you burn Hydrogen, it happens all at once in one big pop (or bang!). In a fuel cell, the atoms dissolve into the water at the electrodes and combine in solution.

Groklaw has a rebuttle here.

Just another Microsoft shill.
YES it runs linux.

This has been done. Please see GrokLaw for the analysis you are requesting.
I would suggest that the Caldera/NewSCO slashdot subject icon be changed to the Groklaw logo.
Many thanks should go out to Pamela Jones for her strong leadership and coordination of the fight to find the truth behind the SCO allegations.
Plus, you have to remember that there's a good chance any random judge will have SCO or one of it's alliances somewhere in their investment portfolio.
I think there's a better chance that most of the Judges own IBM than SCO. Blue chip, baby.
