I doubt it very much. The word used in his case used to be called "Modus Operandi". This is the way he operates. He was just trying to beat dowm the little guy. He's had to be placed under permanent injunction.
But remember, that Jacobsen has yet to collect his 100,000 (it has to be paid over 18 months). I wonder whether we (or anyone else for that matter) will remember about it after a few months and follow up. Or leave it to to Mr. Jacobsen who seems to a very persistent person.
This Indian dude is very much alive and....ing (kicking?)at 86 years. He is a retired politician from northern India who was the titular head of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
Once caught, he resigned to avoid further attention to his sponsors (the ruling Indian political party0.
He was caught cavorting in bed with 3 women. But he was just lying down (at that age what do you expect)? Being a touchy-feely type, it seems that he wanted his daily feel.
Earlier a paternity case was filed against him that he won ON TCHNICAL GROUNDS.

You don't like a website, don't visit it. Tell your friends not to visit it. Likely if it was a few nuts, the site will lose importance anyway.
But don't ban it. Don't get the provider to shut it down.

I think it's not just because teachers want to re-cycle the same question next year. It's because they don't want their material to be reproduced by some training shop at the other end of the globe!

It is actually Pakistan that has proliferated nuc technology. Not India. Get the facts right please.
Mr. A Q Khan who was the head of Pakistan's nuc establishment (yes Pakistan has one) retired, was given permission to start a company and used this vehicle to sell technology to eye-ran and korea. Next, guess what. When this was exposed and Mr Khan was about to be tried - in Pakistan by a Pakistani court, the fanatic jihadist parties rioted against the trial calling Mr. Khan a hero of the jihad. The compliant Pakistani state called off the trial and put Mr. Khan under house arrest.
Soon the news will become stale and either Mr. Khan will migrate to eye-ran or Saudi Arabia.

Consider the following: (1) India has been hit hard by the recent rise in oil prices. (Markets lost more than 30% of their worth). So energy independence is a goal for India.
(2) This has been recognised in India long time and infact an India_iran_pakistan gas pipeline was in the offing till it was effectively killed by the US who then and now want to outsource nuc energy creation to India.
Asimov himself described some really ambiguous situations (in his novels and short stories) - particularly the robot series.
So even by Asimov's 3 laws, it is not impossible for robots to turn round and rebel against their masters if - for instance - they thought there was a greater good achieved by rebelling.
Or (according to Asimov in his novels and short stories), they could just take over the world government to avoid conflicts and mismanagement of resources.
But to get back to the real world. As far as IT is concerned, in all except pure programming shops, I thought that it was given that the programmers always field support issues till the system stabilises. It is certainly true in most manufacturing.
I think the front crumple zone has the boot (it can hold one suitcase). May be a good idea to try it out. (I am in Chennai, India which has no inclined roads).

Home built means built by ISRO (Indian Space Research organisation) which was founded in 1950 or so (before the cold war "hotted up"). It is an Indian government organisation. But I don't know about the satellite really being home built. Lot of our (I am from India) space launches are based on "cryogenic" fuel vehicles which received a setback once USSR was disbanded.
FYI, it isn't about "Star wars" and any such use.
I believe that like the ESA (European Space Agency which launches from Kourou in French Guyana), ISRO plans to compete in the commercial launch space. They are already into co-operation for earth stations.
I expect that there are already American companies that outsource satellite launch to ESA and soon ISRO may join the list.
Because the sales people will take on all sorts of assignments and there is no planning based on resource availability. This is particularly true in the case of software support (inhouse and outsourced).
It must be agreed that even though there might be a lot of persons earning good money doing COBOL, the numbers of such people are probably getting lesser and lesser.
Also, the way software is developed is probably changing. Nowadays there is more and more of factory type work where you have a programming pool who are given assignments. (Specs are written by business analysts working with team leads). Programmers don't see the picture, let alone the big picture and what is required is only to deliver functional output. This can be handled well by raw techies and so there is less value add for a "senior"s experience. This is because there is more package and solution buying (eg: WEB page, authoring tools etc) and less ciustom development.
The OP doesn't mention his profeciency or level. Given that, a lateral move to a smaller organisation may be just the thing to enable him to rise quickly. In this scenarion, he would have to have good project management skills.
If a goal for 2007 is for the all the team to get brainbench certification, then it might be a good idea. Some team work and co-ordination is involved.
You all could organise for regular training sessions supplemented by practical examples.
Your organisation and the persons in your team can't lose by that.

Hi, this is Anantha frpm India.
No space race here. Just a small launch catering to the needs of the ISRO trying to go commercial. Maybe offer to launch satellites for other countries etc. I remember earlier launches were for communication satellites etc. Now re-entry=re-use=cost-saving.
About CHANDRAYAN-1, it will remain a pipe dream of the pols beacause unlike a satellite launch, there is no way it will be commercially viable. (Race with star wars!?!).

Do what the client needs but dont go over his head.
The first task is to find out what could have gone out. In my experience, if the customer is using legacy systems, they are still using LAN based stuff (max) and so not likely to have anything but loads of basic raw data (difficult to compile and collate). If so, your friend has to determine whether what could have gone out is really worth "disclosing".
Finally (after covering your ass), try and get the W98 machines on a LAN with a proper firewall. (A reading of the original post seems to suggestr several individual internet connections).
Why is it that they should deemed to be less responsible than say two powers who have about 60000 pieces between them?
I mean that the pressures on the governments of the USA and FSRUSSR (Former soviet republics of USSR) might even have been more. Dont tell me people have forgotten the time of criss-croos krushchev's table thumping and JFK's trip to europe to test the waters for a possible retaliation (really!).
Being an Indian myself, I think for Indians it is just a matter of showing that they can manage to make a nuke device (never mind that the programme slowed down after the demise of the erstwhile USSR). I expect that the same is the case with Pakistan. (Mostly for internal consumption).
I think that it simply represents the interests (shares) google has in apple. Other directors of google are probably identified too much with google to sit on other boards.

Aw come on.
Apart from feeling that you need Indian (actually Hindi or Tamil or any one of abouty 14 "official" languages) or Chinese (which usually means mandarin), how about some generic stuff related to managing security in information systems (ISMS).
