It won't be too long (real soon now) before they will be able to photograph your finger from 10 metres away, and discern your fingerprint from that. And that's only one logical step from the face scanning, but is also zero logical steps from fingerprinting every single person.
You enter my site, and every single item I have for sale is marked as to be purchased, if you don't unclick all 100,000 items, you just bought them all.
If management does something wrong, I tell them, cite a few references, Peopleware for instance, and tell them how it is. I will be doing this, because I know this is what will ultimately fix the problem. Then I go do it. I also happen to be really good at what I do, so they generally let me do it.
Of course I've only worked in smaller organisations, so the boss knows what I do, so that helps:)
Hmmm... reasonable doubt... perhaps not... depends one the jury....
I'm assuming here that NetPD didn't actually download 300 thousand songs in one weekend, if they did I want their net connection, couldn't some of these songs not actually be a Metallica song?
Perhaps I played a Metallica song on my harpsicord, recorded it, thought it was kewl and kinda geeky, so made it available through napster, perhaps I wrote a 1 million word essay on the suicidal tendency inducing words from a metallica song, and named it *.mp3 cause it was my third attempt and I'm a dope called Michael Pollen.
What if the mp3 file of a Metallica song was corrupted, corrupted since I downloaded it, and never listened to it, but made it available through napster, have I distributed pirate music? And I'd be willing to bet there was at least one in this category.
My point is that each case of distributing software should be examined and judged on it's own merits... like in that court system thing most countries have.

Well I could just use Adobe Acrobat reader. But the real question is do I purchase the book?
Do I purchase a book for each terminal? Does each person who intends to read it have to download it.
Or could I just "get" 5 free ones on the first day it was available?
I sent them my email address but still waiting for them to send me the e-book. I don't even like Stephen King:)

Most likely not, but obviously people who can't afford the book, or dont have a computer, can't read this book.
Usually when you don't want to, or can't buy a book you borrow it from a library, with an _e-book_ this isn't possible. This is an issue that needs to be solved I beleive.

I was thinking about this the other day.

Stress isn't caused by situations, it's caused by reactions to situations. Once I realised this, I don't get stressed.
If the shit hits the fan, I just keep working and tell people, I can clean up all this shit, or I can do what I'm sposed to do and fix the fan.
I think I pushed that metaphor a little too far.
I agree with the companys decision to enforce non rude names.

The article says "It's like wiretapping" but I see it as a lot more than that.
It's more like logging everyone's phone calls, then when someone gets subpoenaed(sp?) you listen to it.
