It is highly unlikely. In Sweden, you'd have to commit repeated gross negligence for the employer to be able to fire you, and then it is usually with a three months advance notice. You cannot have an employee fired and have the guards escort him out the same day as you can in the US.
Why is it always the fault of a single employee if something goes wrong, and the success of the team if things go right?
This isn't just a corporate phenomenon. Just look at sports. Ever heard of we won, they lost? When your team win, it's "we won". When your team lose, its "they lost". People like to associate themselves with the winners and distance themselves from the losers.
Did those people actually see linux crash, or did they see linux rebooting.
They probably saw the application crash, which was then solved by the crew rebooting the entire system (rebooting is the only way to solve computer-related problems to the layman, popularized by certain Microsoft products, namely DOS, Windows 3.x and Windows 9X).
My guess is that they have the in-flight entertainment system starts automatically at bootup. It is probably easier to reboot the system that to dig up a keyboard and do it manually.
The name of the file (passwd) is just a historical remnant, since passwords were once upon a time stored there. As others have already explained, passwords are nowadays usually stored in the shadow file, which isn't readable to anyone but root. The/etc/passwd is used for other user information, such as the full name, the user shell, the user home directory, and various other user-related bits and pieces.
Intel is taking the quick and dirty route to quad core - smash two dual core CPUs onto the same die. AMD is actually doing a proper quad core architecture.
Do you think that the fact that the Intel method is cheaper due to higher yield is irrelevant? With a single-die quadcore, the entire processor needs to be discarded if just one core is broken. With dual-die quadcores, you only need to discard one half of the processor. This increases yield and lowers costs, and I cannot see what is so bad about that. Performance isn't everything, and it isn't like it suffers greatly from the dual-die design. I'd guess that it suffers more from the shared FSB design.
As a condition of parole defendant is barred from ENGAGING in CERTAIN activity--the use of Linux software.
Can you quote the part of the judgement that said that? Of course you can't, since he wasn't. That the government was lazy and just created/bought Windows software to do the monitoring is a totally different matter.
Wal-Mart didn't with-hold consent for a union, it simply said we will not operate a business in an area likely to have a union. Since wal-Mart expected a union to form, it shut down that store. It is entirely within the law for Wal-Mart to close a location of its own free will. That is capitalism at work.
Socialism would say that the state determines where a business must operate and attaches conditions to that order. The state would force a business to spend its money to open a store at a specific location, and then force the business to operate under the state's rules for tax rates, employment conditions, etc.
So if every area has a union, Wal-Mart will close down entirely? I agree that businesses shouldn't be forced to operate in a certain area if they don't want to, and they aren't where I live. But on the other hand, in my country (Sweden), there are practically no areas without unions, so if Wal-Mart cannot accept them, well, they'd have to find another country to do business in.
The point is that Wal-Mart (or anyone else) should not be treated with silk gloves. That they see a business opportunity in a certain area does not mean that the population and government should accept whatever conditions (e.g. no unions) they try to impose. If Wal-Mart cannot accept that, it just shows that their business case probably wasn't very strong anyway. The population won't miss Wal-Mart if they stay out of an area, as other businesses will gladly step in and take their place.
They were allowed to keep the union. It's just that they didn't have jobs anymore.
Where I live, you cannot fire a guy for being a member of a labor union. Actually, I think that our labor unions are too powerful, as they can blockade companies into bankruptcy almost at will, and acts largely like a state-sponsored mafia. But protection in law from being fired for being a member of a union is fine with me.
So in the United States, labor unions can exist only if the employer accepts them? Sounds like a great way to effectively ban unions in the entire country. I mean, what employers actually like labor unions?
In other countries, unions can exist regardless of the employers' opinion. If they don't like them, tough luck. In such countries, labor unions are protected by law.
It's fine to let people contribute, but most articles need to be locked down when they are completed
How would you define completed? Very few articles can claim to contain every piece of knowledge about the subject. There is always room for more, so locking down anything permanently would be a horribly bad idea.
1) There is no such thing as "if you don't have PMP". It's there, in Vista, and it can't be removed or disabled.
I thought that PMP referred to the entire package of HDCP-compatible video output, similarly protected sound outputs together with the software support in Vista. Sorry if I was wrong.

If the quote from the Linux kernel summit is true, you may be right: AMD to open up graphics specs
Now I wonder how nVidia will handle this. :)
Or you might want to try this: AMD to open up graphics specs
Then maybe you are interested in this?
Yeah, I know, sounds too good to be true. But last time I checked, April 1st had already passed.

At work, I run an ISC dhcpd server, and it works just fine with Vista clients. But maybe it works because it's running version 3.0.x of dhcpd.
No? They are for me.
Given the popularity of Bush here, if we'd have more civilians with guns, you'd be facing a new Iraq.
That's just plain wrong. MPEG is an ISO working group, and their standards are shock-full of patented technologies.

The fact that people actually take time to post such lengthy chunks of junk really have me baffled. Don't they have anything else to do?

Did I miss something, or did you by recent mean upcoming?
That's why they call it copyright infringement and not theft. It has some similarities with theft, but they aren't equivalent.
SFTP is a crude hack?
What we need is an honest-to-god distributed, networked, filesystem.May I suggest AFS? It is somewhat complicated to set up, but it is very good and used on many large and very large sites.
