Yup, he says he lost his boat and diving gear before mentioning that not all of his staff members are accounted for. Well, as said here before, I guess this is just how our brains work. First things first. People are just numbers.
According to a Finnish news site http://www.digitoday.fi/ (in Finnish), the cases are unrelated. At least this is the official statement of the Finnish Central Crime Police. The Finnish investigation was started a couple of months ago by request of an unnamed instance whose rights were violated. The unconfirmed assumption is that the request was made by Microsoft (of Finland).
...that one day we'll all use the same date format at least.
Even this guy messes it all up, saying: "Whether you adopt C&T or not, PLEASE don't write dates as 01/02/03 any more! What the heck does that mean? Instead, on your check stubs, and everything else, from now on, ONLY use: 2003/01/02, if in fact you mean: 2003 January 2. This is the ISO standard!"
The page he refers to is correct, but he still goes on to ignore 2003-01-02, which is the correct ISO format.
Not to belittle what you said, but the DB technician practically dared people to hack the bikes by saying: The code is unbreakable and we are really proud [...]
And here I thought you could order pizza, delivered, anywhere. You know, free delivery if you order two or more pizzas.
"Hi, this is Leroy Chiao... I'd like to order two Quattro Stagiones, delivered, please... and put in some extra oregano, we're running low on that... International Space Station, in the orbit... yes, that's the one. Please hurry. Thanks, bye."

Yes, that puts us right back in square one: if you don't like it, don't do that then.
But where I work, the companies do have to have a *reason* to fire someone. Not agreeing to do something that isn't in the contract is not something you can fire people for.
I don't work in the U.S., but I kind of thought folks there have lawsuits for much less than breaking a contract...
What kind of contracts have these people signed? I'm not going to do overtime without pay - nor with pay, if I don't have the time. Just say no. That's no reason to get fired.
I'm working my 9 to 5, doing my best, and if that's not enough, it's not *my* fault the project is not on schedule. Some pointy haired guy screwed it up, nothing I can do.
Besides, doing overtime over long periods of time is not going to solve anything. The quality of your code goes down so fast you'll spend more time debugging than you gained. And adding people to a project already late is just going to make it later.

Do you have a reference for this? They do, after all, have international specs that list EU: 4 channels at 40 MHz, the same 100 ft range.

And judging by the accepted submissions, it's in fact rpiquepa, not Roland Piquepaille. And they both have freaks.
Yet Roland has friends and fans, but no foes...
Coincidentally, the fortune cookie at the bottom reads "There is no substitute for good manners, except, perhaps, fast reflexes."
I just can't think of a penalty that could cause Microsoft "serious and irreparable damage"... Help me out here, folks!

I guess it depends on where you want your daily radiation: your brain or your balls.
...tin foil!
And how can you ask the world to change to C&T if the countries using the Gregorian calendar can't agree on which day is the 1st day of the week?
Even this guy messes it all up, saying: "Whether you adopt C&T or not, PLEASE don't write dates as 01/02/03 any more! What the heck does that mean? Instead, on your check stubs, and everything else, from now on, ONLY use: 2003/01/02, if in fact you mean: 2003 January 2. This is the ISO standard!"

I wouldn't be too optimistic if I were him...
Without that, who would have bothered?
Then they'll make a movie of you. And then they make a sequel. And a sequel. And a sequel...

Haven't tried it, but there's at least work in progress towards being able to login using a smart card - among a lot of other components.
But hey, at least the Microsoft-Tax is 100$ smaller!

I'd rather see www.whitehouse.gov be taken over by someone else... but I reckon that takes four years rather than five days.
