Tech. is treated pretty bad in some organizations and needs some respect in addition to pay scale.
Friends of mine have contemplated group resignations.
So more than one leaves that organization in the same week or even day. When one individual resigns, some managers go ho hum, when two go it is hum hum, when three or more announce they are out of here, that manager deserves to be sacked right up the line.
This is a case of DMCA IP Protection being abused for trade protection rights Intel bought and paid for and AMD did not.
Sherman Anti-trust aside (which this may be a real material breach) it looks like DMCA could either get abridged or affirmed for trade control purposes. For instance, does this mean someone with an Oracle license has the right to use some delta patches to open it wider open on their AMD Opteron for better threading than Intel?
Hmmm... you see how the lines get to be less than black and white.
Ok, he one, he got broad band woohoo, but terrestrial solutions are more aesthetically pleasing. Small towns in Iowa of only 300 or so people are getting DSLAM's or have cable modem coverage.

> He didn't do the grunt work on it, but I don't think there's much question that the iPod is Jobs' creation at least as much as anyone else's.
Bingo, it is like his baby, he made sure it worked for him. Every iPod you buy has been refined by someone that gave a damn, maybe selfishly or maybe for you, but you still get the benefit!
Now why not lookup and compare your detailed meta-data that Apple has left out there easy for you to read and make a utility to compare that with your Linux box archive of tunes with an eventual weed out routine?
Easy?
No.
But Forbes Magazine has a whole article regarding this kind of dilemma, our bits being so transient and so bulky.

Free
phone numbers from North America for web based voice over the
Internet SIP voice service recently became available. With that, does that mean
phreaking or phone use like that talked about on Off The Hook, is
dead now? You can literally create for yourself a new lifestyle going
off the grid and mobile while the rest of the world wonders where heck
you are. A future Nick
Haflinger from Shockwive Rider only need to adapt for our
science fiction prophet, John
Brunner, to create the environment for all these numbers in
flux. Personally a SIP based client with a phone number included at no cost is very preferred over Skype, no phone number and not standards complient, geez, why even go that direction?
"Essentially if someone owns a physical copy of software, then they are allowed to modify the code as part of their regular use, no matter what other agreements are in place." Okay, can someone chime in and say, if I own a binary, oops, Digital Millenium Copyright Act, does not mention exemptions for if you own the code, you can go in and modify it. Geesh, this sounds like a leak in DMCA big time if that is the real opinion and it carries into any devices I carry in my hand.
Zhu Guangya is a physicist and is a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He has been instrumental in shaping China's development programs for the A-bomb and the H-bomb. Being a strategic scientist, Zhu has helped create the country's long-term development of defense technology.
Noting his crucial role in country's technological development Lu Yongxiang, president of china handed over a certificate of asteroid possession to Zhu at ceremony and workshop last Sunday.
Large companies crying about the lack of H1's for worker are really missing the concept of free markets.
Further, read this treatise outline to understand fully the nature and different ramifications in tech..
H1's are tied to a single company for that worker, so they cannot leverage the free market for wages, nor can they defend themselves from terminations.
Green cards permit workers from other countries to use the free market properly, they can negotiate for a change, change companies ask for raises without the kind of fear H1's have as indentured servants.
U. S. Citizens would have higher salaries, as long as the supply does not out grow the market of positions if Green Card holders filled the gap.
Green card status draws the best and brightest acting as a brain drain net positive for the U. S. economy.
H1's as workers in companies with economic difficulty may learn the U. S. culture, develop good habits and pay taxes (albeit less than Green Card holders because of income level) and still yet get sent back home, disrupting their family and desire to live in the U. S., forcing sale of things like real estate and depressing prices here for same.
Companies should be demanding Green Card positions if they have any real courage at all.
Companies that only ask for H1's and do not ask about Green Cards are Anonymous Cowards, like that on here!
Dammit, ask about Green Cards and as long as the U. S. is selective enough, we will have a better economy and your job is just fine and your salary is more stable on firmer ground instead of being undercut with servant style employment.
After reading the article, all I could detect is a peculiar bias. Does Apple iPod drive Macintosh sales today... well maybe not much, tomorrow is a different day in the sales world and so forth.
Apple can grow sales. Is this only a next quarter mentality from the author in Money Magazine?
Apple has quite a bit of cash in the bank and can stretch with cost cutting if necessary
Macintosh Powerbook and iBook sales have been climbing from people I know personally that had been locked into PC's
There is an undercurrent of PC users will to give Apple a shot after experiencing so many computer virii, or wish to stop worring about the issue.
This writer pretends to like Apple when the majority of criticisms sound more like a Dell shareholder or a sour grapes relay from the record companies envious of iTunes.
Last but not least, this writer obviously masks one important point. The low margin in iTunes is assuming everyone purchases one and only one tune at a time. Apple surely does not want to brag, but people who purchase many tunes allow them to make more money. The credit card company piece allows for more profit. Special commercial deals also bypass the credit card company fees. If Apple really gets serious about the matter of credit card charges they will do a Walmart and buy a bank themselves for the best rates.
Oh yeah... the headphones are glued to the players too, to prevent any authorized output. A low-tech answer to a high-tech issue."

NDA agreements should have term limits implied to say the least. Although, in this case, you could have this experienced employee guide you through a process or better yet, point out public domain equivalents. They should never indicate in the process whether or not the equivalent is what they NDA'd.
The last portion though, if the NDA prohibited someone to conduct the normal course of work, and there was no consideration to maintain the contract. You may have a loop hole, but leave that to your hired guns to figure out. I do think any contract signed, including NDA's need to have fairly strict limits and parameters explicitly spelled out. Also, the state of the art is such that sometimes there are no choices, but patents, trade secrets and like get in the way of this line of thinking.
This is at your own risk, if in California, litigation is normal.
As I recall, such Microsoft statements could potentially be construed as a binding promise or full blown contractual obligation. Examples include the Disney case when buying an online toy company with privacy policy... Could Microsoft be sued for breach with such a white paper (or any of them) when they make claims contrary to reality?
Is anyone out there in a position to figure out this?
You should just consider going with a premium provider for ISP service. They usually have less customers and have the margins to stay in business.
Think about it!
The answer from research is available to your problem. However since their is commercial value and I have at this time a significant cost just to do a technology transfer... Do you have a suggestion or application priority that demands a solution?
It is in the parlance of research one area that I can personally re-assure you as totally solvable and surprisingly simple in certain ways.
Perhaps you will come up with your own elegant solution like the 'layer cake' one Sakharov did after knowing about yet another way to get to the same smashing result?
Yes I have considered going open design and open source with a POST-VLIW architectural solution from my 80's research. Any suggestions on others that have gone that way for me to study is appreciated.
