The issue is that when Nick Jacobson owned T-Mobile's website, he used that to gain access to their entire network -- every picture sent or recieved, every text message, possibly even phone calls. He owned a good portion of the company.
You can't jail a corporation; indeed, the worst you can do is revoke its charter (which doesn't happen very often). Basically most corporate punishment comes down to fines, which, if not hefty enough, don't deter future misconduct.
Actually you can jail a corporation - well, you can jail the CEO or whoever has overall responsibility. This is a bit iffy as you have to link a person, or persons, to the corporation which is not always going to be easy. This is a relatively new law in the UK AFAIK.
Have a look at this summary"
No, he was trying to teach them how to use the phone. Most WebTV users are frightened by things such as talking and electricity, he was just trying to help!
Allow me to clarify this for the nookie challenged.... a woman entering the room or speaking to you is NOT an opportunity to get laid.
Especially if it's your mom.
I don't understand this economic argument. The US has a debt of $7.5 trillion. Bush and his administration have done their best to make this even worse with tax cuts for the richest 1% of the population , huge over-spending on the military industrial complex, yet they argue that signing up to Kyoto is economically damaging.
THEY are economcially damaging as well as environmentally damaging. It's complete nonsense. Bush & Cheney's links to oil are no secret and it is a complete fallacy to suggest that their main motive for knocking Kyoto on the head is economics.
I half agree with this, but I don't think you can blame the US or western corporations entirely, any more than you can blame middle east governments entirely. But middle east governments *have* failed. They have consistently failed to help the Palestinian cause, and insist on blaming the failure *entriely* on the US. They have failed to implement democracy in a feeble attempt to hold onto power - see Egypt, Saudia Arabia etc. They run terribly inhumane regimes with vast human rights abuses. To blame this all on the US and western corporations is ridiculous. Yes, some of the blame is due, but to carry on as if the middle east regimes have acted honourably towards their own people while the US are to blame for the mess in the middle east is as much a fallacy as anything else.
But should CBS have fired them? The "Independent" Review Panel consist of Bush fans Dick Thornburgh and Louis Boccardi. The head of Viacom, CBS parent company said this before the 2004 election:
"From a Viacom standpoint, the election of a Republican administration is a better deal. Because the Republican administration has stood for many things we believe in, deregulation and so on.... I vote for Viacom. Viacom is my life, and I do believe that a Republican administration is better for media companies than a Democratic one."
Funnily enough CBS never reported this. The right wing zealots dived onto one memo which was not genuine. Sure, CBS made a mistake, but if it is that easy to discredit a story based on fairly irrelevant evidence, when talking about the fundamental accusation, then how the hell did Bush get into the White House? His administration has got more skeletons in the closet than a costume store.
While you're slagging off his English, I thought I should point out that his email address appears to be Italian. Not everybody's first language is English you know...
Slashdot Mirror
it turns out after all that the editors actually are editing submissions for style, content, link-checks, and so forth ... just in the wrong direction.
This is a tribute to George Lucas who pioneered the process of backwards editing.
Impossible to clean windows? Sounds like my house.

Apparently he pwned them as well.
I just find myself not caring. Great, another company has an insecure website. Can someone explain why this is a big deal?
You're getting confused with those online casinos.
I was just trying to fit in...
That's more of Matt Lucas than I *ever* wanted to see.
Star Wars was good though. I think he cameoed as Jabba The Hutt.

Fair point. Besides they'd be too busy running.
No, he was trying to teach them how to use the phone. Most WebTV users are frightened by things such as talking and electricity, he was just trying to help!
So what does WebTV run on, hamster wheels?
Serial Burglar pictures? How dull! I want to see pictures of a parallel burglar. Thankfully the Kray Twins are long gone.

That's outsourcing for you.
Obviously Kyoto has nothing to do with the economy or the fossil fuel lobby.
How the hell is that offtopic?
