...in about 1980, so I resigned. I remember there was an idiotic clause that I had to tell them about every idea that I had, regardless of quality. I spent half-an-hour arguing with some legal drone that (a) they didn't need to know how I chose which toilet to use for a crap and (b) writing that sort of trivia down would take my entire day.
I got my revenge by publishing the best things I invented in my two months at HP in a science fiction story.
to legally charge Sony with fraud they must gain some benefit through fraud
The rootkit phoned home, so they got data, which is worth money. I think Sony didn't get sued because basically they plea-bargained. This new criminal doesn't have enough money to pay compensation, so that's not a realistic option.
In the UK, from today's news, it seems literally anyone can get access to security data. If you're a rapist or something, talk with a fake foreign accent and don't give your real name. You may even get employed by PM Gordon Brown and get the chance to try out parent's suggestions.
The Home Office has admitted illegal immigrants have been mistakenly cleared for jobs as security staff... The Home Office says the SIA [Security Industry Authority] did not check applicants were entitled to work in the UK before granting licences... According to the Sunday Mirror, illegal immigrants are working at airports, ports and the Metropolitan Police - BBC
Everyone who intends to take anything with them is probably smart enough to make copies before telling you they're leaving. Likewise, any damage they might do can already be set up.
True. But if they have done as you suggest, and not taken enough care when deleting the private files on their disk to defeat a specialist data recovery company, then you have a slam-dunk lawsuit against their new employer. You may also find out what they were offered before your other good people are head-hunted. And if they have a company-provided cellphone, the contact details on that are gold dust.
So you really don't want to leave them alone with their PC or phone.
The internet is commonly used by terrorist for propaganda communication, training, indoctrination, recruitment, and fund-raising. Certain terrorist organisations also use the Internet to plan operations and publicize claimed attacks... internet service providers now have to retain their data, as a consequence of the Data Retention Directive. The principle of availability has made its first step with the Prüm Treaty: soon, all Member States' databases on fingerprints, DNA and vehicle registration will be accessible to the authorities of other Member States.
The Commission plans to fund activities aimed at making this work or making it work better. Agreement has been reached to give law enforcement authorities access to the Visa Information System (VIS) once it becomes operational. Access to the VIS will allow police and other law enforcement authorities, as well as Europol, to consult data in the Visa Information System. It will store data on up to 70 million people concerning visas for visits to, or transit through, the Schengen Area [basically mainland West Europe]. These data will include the applicants' photograph and their ten fingerprints. The VIS will become the largest ten finger print system in the world...
The dissemination of terrorist propaganda, training of terrorists, financing of terrorism, circulation of information on bomb-making and explosives and public provocations to commit terrorist offences should be recognised as crimes and subject to appropriate criminal penalties across the European Union.
Gunpowder is used in bombs and contains sulphur. Whoops I'm a criminal! Why are we only discussing air travel here?
[Sun CEO] Jonathan's claim that "you cannot unfree what is free" sets a very dangerous precedent. It says that you can steal anything, as long as you open source it afterwards.
The record shows that everyone who deliberately confuses this issue this is a liar - RIAA anyone? - so that's made my mind up.
So, in 50 years when the earth HASN'T turned into a bad hollywood movie and everyone wakes up to the fact global warming is a scam, get we get a refund on these bogus credits? this whole carbon trading thing reeks of profiteering to me.
That's exactly right. The speed of global warming is grossly exaggerated and most so-called ways of fighting it are scams. In 50 years earth won't yet have turned into a disaster movie. The problem is that there's so much inertia in this process that in 50 years the disaster will be too late to stop.
"An Ohio laboratory has produced genetically modified mice which 'can run five to six kilometres at a speed of 20 meters per minute on a treadmill, for up to six hours before stopping,' as well as a number of other remarkable feats.
and you'll win more. Probably not enough to make a profit though.
Almost everyone knows not to bet 1,2,3,4,5,6 because there are a few hundred morons who already pick this sequence and if it wins the jackpot will be split between them.
Less obvious is that some people pick numbers based on dates, or phone number digits, or the numbers sports players wear. These are biased towards small values, so you should do the opposite and prefer big numbers, to reduce the chance of a split jackpot.
Or course, some lotteries don't let you choose numbers, in which case all you can do it wait for roll-overs to boost the prize fund.
Consider two metal objects in contact in a mechanical joint. On Earth, joints and other moving parts are typically lubricated to reduce friction. Also, the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere oxidizes many metals spontaneously, forming a thin passivation layer of metal oxide on their surfaces (for instance, see aluminium oxide). In a hard vacuum, lubricants tend to evaporate or otherwise disappear, and no oxygen is present to create oxide layers. Due to the lack of separating lubricant or oxides, the lattice structures of the metals in the two separate objects will tend to bind to each other. The chemical bonds of the metal lattices are strong, and cause the two metal objects to stick together Vacuum Welding
This story is great news for people who worry about global warming, because however hot the earth gets, even if it gets hot enough to kill us all, when the earth eventually cools it seems that life 2.0 will spontaneously evolve.
... or look like a retard. Potato blight is caused by a mold, not a virus. Your on-topic opinion is equally wrong, because if any OS running on your computer gets pwned then the bad guys can use it in their botnet - they only need to crack one not all - so more OS's == more risk.
The Irish Potato Famine happened because Ireland was growing a small range of species of potato.
A virus hit the Potato and it spread so most of the potato's died thus causing the famine.
Apparently this wasn't enough for Universal Edition, who found it necessary to protect the interests of their (long-dead) composers and shut down a site that has proved useful to many students, professors, and other musicians worldwide
You guys and your life-ist bias! If I were promoting the music of dead musicians, the last thing I'd want is competition from live musicians, so I'd have shut down this site too.
The really disgusting part is when people demand that the industry accepts people using their products without any compensation going to the producer. They demand the consent of the victim. These people that have not produced anything, are not giving anything in exchange demand the product for free and the producer thanking them for looting. How much more perverse can it get?
Bullshit. How do you know that these people have not produced anything? I bet they will do lots of good things in their lives, like raising a family or donating to charity. Your problem is not seeing the big picture, but insisting the only things that count are those directly given in exchange. You'd sue Jesus for using the words of previous prophets.
I see you have never dealt with Russians. The ones in their space program are especially tetchy about taking ANY blame whatsoever. Their equipment is always perfect, and the foreign equipment MUST be the problem.
I see you have never worked in the computer industry, if you think this mindset is unique to Russians. Actually it is universal.
The six classes of simple machines - wedge, ramp, screw, lever, wheel & axle, and pulley, are fundamental to how the machanical world works. I'd have hoped this is covered early on in anyone's education, particularly anyone with any sort of interest in 'how the world works'.
If these classes are fundamental, what type of simple machine is the cook-stove mentioned in the article? Also which of the 6 types matches a bow, or a sled, or a boat? In reality the six classes are not fundamental at all, but just an arbitrary list of technologies.

Don't do that. The combination of the GPL and your employer's contract would mean you could never legally publish your software.

- everything you need, nothing you don't.
- make dramatically more configurable.
- I don't expect most users to customize the app--nor should they have to do so
- with the power of customizability, we can present solutions via task-oriented workspaces
- start deprecating (and later removing) outmoded functionality
- polish what's already present

If you've ever agreed a typical EUA, seems to me you've waived at least two of these.
