But still, it really grinds my gears that this whole thing isn't explicitly illegal. The fact that it's legal for the school district to take thousands of screenshots of unsuspecting children IN THEIR BEDROOMS is really pretty upsetting.
Maybe that death could have been prevented with a slightly-different curve in the body.
So your position is that sufficiently hot chicks can't die in car wrecks? Maybe the masked slow moving yet amazingly effective psycho that uses unlikely implements to kill is nature's way of balancing the population scales with regard to hot-chick-death?
So, how do you really know you can do it until you face the animal? I think I can do an emergency tracheotomy, would care to help me test that conclusion?
I agree you have a point that prior preparation is available for bull fighting, but I don't think it rises to a criminal offense. Then again, what the heck do I know about Mexican jurisprudence?
Maybe a licensed PI in their state could snoop on the net habits of their households. I'm betting there is an even chance that at least 2 of those folks have illegal downloading going on...
I'll play your hypothetical. If your admin is following policy, however stupid or showing lack foresight, and you fire him for whatever reason, what makes you think he/she owes you anything? The person no longer works for you. The relationship is severed. Breaking off all lines of communication may be a jerk move, but it is not illegal.
I've said it more than once here, Child's is an ass. Certainly things should have been handled better BY ALL CONCERNED.
Childs is an ass. I think we can all pretty much agree on that. However, his initial actions that started the cascade of buffoonery were well within his job description/duty. If as a worker bee someone outside my management structure, yet still well placed, asks for the keys to the kingdom, I'm going to politely point that person toward my management structure to service the request. If it can be immediately shown to me that providing said keys in a timely fashion could prevent some sort of real harm, physical, or virtual, I'll make the call, otherwise, let my boss tell me.
I trust me way more than I trust ANY company with MY money.
Friends of mine, he a cop, she a teacher, purchased a car with big name financing. For some inexplicable reason, they took the full car payment every two weeks instead of every month. They went round and round for MONTHS with repeated assurances that 'everything is fixed' now.
A person I work with has a mortgage with a bank that sounds like hells cargo. This person had three mortgage payments withdrawn in a single month. It happened again a month later after assurances that everything is fixed now. Oh, and they did not want to give the money back, they just wanted to credit her payments for six months. Funny thing though, the money wasn't this person's because the bank kindly let the withdrawals happen so they could fee the crap out of the account.
To use an obvious analogy, if a bank teller gets a two week notice I don't think we expect the bank to not let them handle any cash for those two weeks).
No, I actually expect them NOT to handle money.
Pay them for their time, thank them for their service and humanely supervise their cubicle packing. They are still 'yours' during he severence period, so call them if you need to.
My employer trusts me. I have a good rapport with my boss. I also have access to data worth millions. If I were downsized tomorrow, i would expect to see HR, and maybe my desk one last time.

We were also strongly warned not to speak about the details of the trial with anyone other than the other jurors. Ever.
Trials in the U.S. are a matter of public record.

Fixed that for you.

Dammit! There ain't no bear pound near my house!
I think the theory is that the image is part of the content they offer which attracts eyeballs to the pages that have the ads.
The model has been in use for some time now.
Virtual machine?
Obligatory correlation != causation ;)

Can I choose? Please?
I can only believe your post if you wear a blue shirt and shout it at me.

Is that really your call sign?
They have "BS" in their name to begin with. C'mon folks, it's not much of a stretch from there...
My only question is did the spokesperson who read the press release have their pinky touching their face?
...and wood can sit in fresh water darn near forever and not rot.

Spelunking around the office is cool until you have to go to the bathroom real bad--take everything you bring...
his actions are completely indefensible.
Really?
Not a zeroeth law fan are you?

Hey, in the US the second amendment applies to gay people, too! Poor limey bass turds...

Mod parent up. What we should be reading is a headline that says Great Britain Death Panel Doing Bang Up Job.
A false false false argument, of course...
The bill is little more than a hefty tax hike with yet more ways to go to jail for exercising personal liberties.
We sure as heck DON'T need a 2300 page bill to enact the four talking point reforms we are hearing ad nauseum.
Mod Parent up!!!!

You do know the guy is in this situation precisely because he followed the policies in effect at the time, right?
Childs may be an ass, but that ain't illegal.
Forest looks damn lovely.
Yea, but you gotta thin it out every 30 or 40 years. Who wants THAT kind of obligation hanging over you head? :o
