Far as I'm concerned, that sort of thing belongs to me in the first place.
With every employer/employee contract I've worked under, code created belongs to whoever is paying me.
If you're carrying code with you that belongs to someone else under contract, you could get yourself into a good bit of trouble, worse if you're open sourcing it.
They already do this, but you STILL have to walk back and put the ticket in your window for some unknown reason.
I usually end up walking to the meter without remembering to look at the number, walk back to the parking spot, get the number, walk back to meter, realize I don't have my wallet, walk back... etc.
That's because in most companies (and software projects in general), there are programmers who act like children (usually due to over sized egos). Most programmers aren't like this, but those who are tend to be the most visible.
From my experience, this is common. Even worse than it being down is when it starts returning malformed headers, etc. It's really not fun.
FedEx and UPS are no better, particularly with their development servers.
It's YOUR time and labor, so they really don't care.
It would seem they're awarded based on opportunity cost.
i.e. they *could* have designed the $30,000 machine if their patent hadn't been infringed on.
Still seems somewhat ridiculous.
What are the legal implications of this... obviously the people who broke into the gmail account/etc could be in trouble, but is there any laws against downloading these leaked emails (social security numbers, etc)? What are the chances they try to go after all the people hosting and downloading these files on bittorrent?
They *should* be encrypting all sensitive data on the drive with some highly secure encryption.
However, it's the government. It's only our personal information, and we're only citizens so it doesn't matter how many laptops get stolen, or how much of our information ends up in the wrong hands, right?

"An alternative to removing the line is adding a character to the code so it's treated as a comment and isn't executed." What is this wizardry?

Yeah, imagine if we had to print out all those myspace pages on paper.
Imagine the fun that I'll have with professors when they constantly lose my homework...
because everyone uses
You're absolutely right, but that's why we have video cards with several hundred megabytes of onboard memory.

Yeah, then they'll legislate how many 'male bits' can surround a 'female bit' and debate whether or not the two bits should be completely separated.
