All email going to a business account is owned by that company
This is entirely false. The computers and disk space are owned by the company, so they have the right to control what is on them, but they do not necessarily own the contents of the messages. The contents of the messages are property and copyright their respective authors or business if they were written in a business capacity. Tranfer of ownership requires compensation and contract.
Otherwise, I could just get someone to email me the linux kernel or WinXP and it would be my property because it arrived at my mail server.
There is still no LDAP authentication for Apache 2.0. First it was going to be "in the box", so all the 3rd party developers stoped developing. Now it is not "in the box" and the 3rd party developer are still not developing. And there is no real explanation from the Apache developers why it is not there. I had to troll through the developer's mailing list to even find out that it had been removed. It is this kind of crap that is preventing Apache 2.0 from being used. Until there is a reliable auth_ldap for Apache 2.0, I won't be ABLE to use it.
OpenEMR is a modular, HIPAA compliant cross-platform electronic medical records system (EMRS). It facilitates efficient office management through automated patient record journaling and billing integration, and has been successfully integrated with third-party technologies including speech recognition, secure wireless access, touch screen portables, and biometric authentication. Interface screens are customizable and optimized for consistency, simplicity, speed of access to patient information, and minimum eye strain. OpenEMR is based upon widely-used public standards to achieve maximum compatibility with evolving technologies.
I wonder how much RIAA paid them to make this change! or maybe it was Microsoft, yea Microsoft. Those pesky Freedom lovers can't distribute their software free if they need to pay to distribute it.
Value of IT = Income with Computers - Income without Computers
The simple question is this: How much money would this company make if every one of the computers and all data stored therein were suddenly eliminated?
In many cases the answer is the company would make very little simply because all the customer data would be gone.
Microsoft did not invent the fucking scroll mouse! I have an old mouse systems scroll mouse that I got at a computer fair selling old hardware a year before microsoft released their first scroll mouse. This is how ancient it was: it plugged into the serial port! It also could scroll every scroll bar without the applications support, including the horizontal ones.
This headline totally misrepresents the article. The article is actually fairly positive about Linux as server, and there is little negitive said about linux as a desktop.
This is totally dependant on the theme. Check out the DragDome theme. It lets you configure the placement of the buttons from the Sawfish Configurator at run time very easily. Also it supports draging the title bar to a new location on the top of windows....
So what happens if someone writes DeCSS in "plain english", and then writes a compiler that specifically takes that and converts it to object code? The "plain english" might need to be in a specific format. Maybe format it like poetry and use indentation as control sturctures like python.
99.9% of email users have no idea how email works. They only know that they type here and it gets there. They have to put in a password to get in so they expect that no one else can get at it. They are certainly not aware that it is even possible to scan every message in route.
Besides this, the SENDER was not notified in advance of this particular company's policies, and the employee gets penalized for actions outside of their control. Here's another example, I get your email address off of your business card. I send you some jokes about pro-lifers. The email filter at your company gets triggered, and a notice that you are pro-abortion goes to someone in HR. The HR person is pro-life and sets off on a crusade to ruin your life. I realize that this probably is not very likely for you in particular, but what I am trying to illustrate is that you could be targeted for something that you do not necessarily agree with.
Comparing this to a cell phone would be like saying that my cell phone company would listen to every phone call I make, record it and send it to the NSA if I said the word kill or president. This is not a situation I would support.
I have an expectation of privacy when I encrypt something, or when I use a land phone line.
All encryption can be broken and land lines can be tapped easily. Even faces to face conversations can be easily be monitored. Does that make anyone who expects privacy for their encrypted messages, landline conversations, and face to face conversations an idiot? We can be monitored in almost an facet of our lives. From work to in our homes. The military has devices that can tell exactly were we are in our homes through 6 inch thick concrete. Camera's and microphones can easily be placed nearly anywhere. Does that make anyone with any expectation of privacy an idiot???
I don't buy the assertation that the company owns the email that an employee recieves. The company is not providing any compensation to the SENDER in exchange for the email messages being sent. Wouldn't copyright law make all email messages copyrighted by the sender? If the sender did not work for the company, how can the company claim their property without compensation?
How about if the SENDER doesn't even own what was sent. Say someone sends me a web page off USA Today? Does the company own that? Certainly, USA Today would have a copyright on that material.
If it is true that the company owns any email an employee recieves, that would mean I could create a small company with that policy, get someone to email me the linux kernal, and then start charging Red Hat for every CD they sold. That does not make a lot of sense.
The company may own the computers, but that does NOT mean that they own the INFORMATION on them.
A quick at software liscensing should convince anyone that just because something is on a company computer doesn't mean the company ownes it. Most software is not owned by the company at all. The company owns a LISCENSE to use it on one computer.

The voices in my head told me to do it!
I would rather have it hooked up to an mp3 or ogg player myself.....
