Luckily my son is still a little shorter than the center of mass of the mean atacker, so far bullets stil miss him for a good couple of inches. Of course he will grow, but I think that before long he'll learn to duck when he needs something from me in the middle of the night.
I usually go to the slow lane whenever it fits me (I see I am able to and I won't have to go back in it for a reasonable time). I am fine with people passing me by the left, I am not racing anyone.
That said, if I am not gointg to the left because either of the conditions is not true, I am not going to rush because I have some idiot behind me who thinks he owns the road. I'll better have him hitting me from behind (--> his/her fault) than risking changing lane without the due safety (--> my fault).
This has nothing to do to NDAs. If you read the articles and previous posts, you will see a list of bussiness who where relieved of the investigation because there were "legitimate reasons".
In short, if you own a car factory, you can agree with other car factories not to poach to avoid claims of NDA/IP breaches. You cannot agree to that with airplane factories because the only reason is not to pay the employees what they are worth.
It is curious that so many "free market" advocates forget about it when it does not bode well for bussiness. It is more curious that more of those advocates are not the bussiness owners, managers that would profit from these policies, but rather the ones that are getting in the "receiving end.
Well, if they call themselves periodists, then I expect them not to act as stenographers and give the acurate information, without the spin.
The sad thing is that I am almost sure that you are wrong: the Government may have not be completely innocent when deciding to pose as Venezuelan agents(*), but probably the "journalists" were the ones to spin the news in order to get it to be more important in relation with all other news that day, and the news from the other media companies.
(*) In fact that could even be rationalized: maybe they were not wanting to badmouth Venezuela but found that it would be more credible that posing as agents from, say, San Marino.
If it doesn't matter if they broke the law, then it doesn't matter which law they are claimed to be broken. If there is no IP law, then someone will claim he saw them with child porn, weapon components, weed seed, whatever. Linking the issue of Russia's lack of "rule of the law" with IP is just pushing your agenda without regard of what is happening.
BTW, I did not insult you or your intelligence (read carefully). I am pretty sure you have intelligence because it takes one to retort the facts to make them look like supporting your agenda even if they don't. I am just saying that you should count that some of your readers may have intelligence, too.:-)
You got me confused... Just to be clear, are you advocating for a pure anarchist/revolutionary solution (Individuals have very little power against large groups of othere individuals)? While some may not agree, at least it is a honest proposal.
Of course, over the years I have found opinions of this tone just to (very)shadowly justify small government: "As someone might abuse government power, the government will be used only to protect the 'natural' (*1) right to property that WE have. What we do to other people in order to increase our wealth is nobody else's bussiness (*2)".
*1: clue: it is not a natural right.
*2: with that, the robber barons become the "large groups of other individuals" because they have the recourses needed to extorsionate other people. You may look for massacres of workers in the beginnings of XXth century in USA, look also for the Pinkerton and how did they broke strikes.
Of course, it may be that you are advocating for the anarchist solution. That's the only way to read your post as something that makes sense.
Science is not about figuring out what's "right". That is, in fact, the domain of religion.
Some of us can figure it out without being told what is right or what not based in an old story of a guy who was nailed to a log, or flew to the heavens. Being told to us by some people that over the centuries have got power and richess just by telling that story (not exactly the same because they where telling if differently before).
Some of us can make our own decisions about what's right. Yours may be different, you are pardoned anyway.
Yeah, because ALL bussiness managers are centered, neutral people who will never gamble the entire company for a short term bonus. Because they will always follow the law, and do the possible to keep their word. Because they won't try to be rescued with public money ("Hey politicians, if you don't bail me out I'll fire thousands of your former voters") after crashing the bussiness to the ground. Because they reward hard work and competence over nepotism. Because they do not have strong ties (aka "collusion") with other bussiness managers in other places where they can bail out
Also emotive is your quote:
If I don't support Wal-Mart's business practice I don't have to fund it. Liberty is the right not to support something
Let's get that clear: you are free to not fund Wal-Mart because there is a government that could stop it from being a monopoly. Get rid of government, and start funding Wal-Mart or go live in a cave (unitl Wal-Mart owns all the caves, that's it).
First of all, as other people have put, they may be looking for the bad ones or the nice ones.
Also, from my experience, if they find the "people who will never commit to anything face to face, who always work through others and most importantly who never ever carry the responsibility for the clusterf*** they orchestrate" then they will be immediately promoted to upper management. At least from what I see in my workplace.
I am astonished by so many people focusing in MS, maybe it is not a favorite here but the main lesson to be learnt from the story is, from my POV:
IF YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT THE POWERS THAT ARE, DON'T BE STUPID.
Stay inside the law, do not pirate software, do not make anything that could be/look like rape... Think before acting that your acts will be reviewed in the worst ligth possible, and that you'll be punished by things nobody else is punished.
Even acting this way don't keep you out of trouble, but at least your enemies won't have it so easy when they come after you.
If you can't stand acting this way or are not intelligent enough to get it, my advice is to forget about it and become one with the flock.
There isn't one reason for NGOs continue to use microsoft software, in fact there are lots of reasons to not use it!
Quite the same reasons enterprises have to use it. Mainly market/user knowledge share and product integration. Or do you think bussiness use Microsoft for a sentimental reason?
With the far-reaching scope of intellectual "property" today, pretty much anyone can be acused of piracy, and oppressive governments can just pick who they want to target and point their finger.
Are you saying that people did install Windows or Office with cracked versions or generated keys without realizing it? And they were the innocent victims because of that?
Everyone has his/her points of view and you are free to push your agenda, but if you are going to ignore facts and try to fool us, please try a little harder. Using a logic so flawed is an insult to our intelligence.
They may complain that they did break the law the same way most people do it there and they are the only ones getting punished. But that is not a defense in court, neither here nor in Russia./p
I remember seeing a facsimile of a sign (probably to be displayed in libraries) that stated that if someone did steal a book from it, he would be excommunicated (as expulsed of the Church) and would not be allowed back until the book was restored. Quite a penalty in old days, but makes sense if you think of hand-copied books or even books from the first prints.
I think more of the IT staff/management that allowed this to happen in a critical system (I do not know if staff was incompetent or management did not allow a apropiate solution to be implemented because "it just works".
Not to mention to German savage attacks against the population (including by the regular army). Even with the perspective of time, talibans are peanuts to what happened there and nobody objects to people playing germans but nobody cries about people being able to play germans(even if I find worrying that some people only play as germans, but I'll give them the benefit of doubt).
Well, they are those that probably will have less people and with less experience servicing it.... you can try to manage the first couple of servers with some "flexibility"; when you have hundreds of them everything must be done "by the book" or thing go definitely wrong.
When I got to my current job, a couple of servers (our first rack servers) where installed, and nobody was "in charge" of them. Being myself a guy with initiative, I did the best that I could with them even if I had only experience in programming. The second funny thing I found was that, when one of the mirrored disks failed and I called for a spare, I gave back the good one. The first funny thing is that the backup that the people that did setup the machines didn't really backup anything of importance (it was funny because we found about it just after #2).
I have been told from someone who knows better that the sharks have begun training in order to hold as much time as possible outside of water. It is a conspiracy sponsored by the Government (who do you think pays for all those military subs, and what are they doing down there?)
.
We have to act now and begin training ourselves in order to be able to spend as much time under water as we can.
With a mean probability of 0.1% of theft (at least it looks close to it in the charts, I do not have the study numbers), a sample size of 109 cars may be too small.
To put an analogy, think that a medical researcher goes to a city of 10.000 people and finds that there are 10 cancer patients, and when he goes to the village with 100 people then claims that there is some kind of cancer cure in that village because there are no cancer patients in it.... Hardly significative at all..
We recently had some security tests with a consulting firm and, while no WiFi test was done (we have no WiFi), I was curious and asked the guy about WiFi security. He told me that, given that there was a constant traffic, he could break any WiFi in about two hours. So I do not know if this vulnerability is a completely different thing or that guy was just too much optimistic.
Anyone does have first hand info?

Terrorism is a violent act with the intent of provoking a political change. Some guys going in a rampage because they are depressed/drugged/know nothing better to do are not terrorist, even if they kill do many people. A man burning a car so a meeting can't take place is a terrorist.

"We have tolerance for non-CEO-approved dishonest behavior inside or outside the company"
