I see what you're saying there. But as a counterpoint, they don't really set legislation do they? Voters have a once-every-few-years opportunity to voice their opinion. That's not a lot of scope for molding the direction of government.
Yes, be careful of share options. Your employer knows that they can pay you less in rises and bonuses over those 5 years, particularly towards the end, because you will probably hang around to get what's due to you. I wonder if you could try to factor in a big pay jump to at least market rates at this point too. I'm assuming that if you've been there for 6 years already, you're almost certainly underpaid by now.
I'm not so sure. One of the more interesting 'success stories', if you can call it that, is the DRM in Cubase. Cubase used to be massively pirated but version SX 3.1 released in 2005 took 9 months to crack and version 4 hasn't been cracked after 2 years.
They achieved this by wiring many types and layers of protection into as many diverse areas of the code base as they could. They made the job of reverse engineering just too frustrating and time consuming. You would effectively have to QA test the entire thing for various use cases and time delays. This obviously has knock on effects in performance for your paying customers of course.
Except with a Jewish name (Eli) and a previous comments in his history stating that he's Jewish, I'm sure his prospective employers will get the joke. I'm British and so I get to make joke about strereotypes such as teeth and queueing. It's one of the few perks...
That's as cunning as a fox that used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University, but has moved on, and is now working for the UN at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning.
Let me clarify, he means that someone could use a pseudonym to poison the project with copyrighted source. Obviously, as you say, the person doing this isn't concerned about the project. You're forgetting that it's the others using their real names on something they care about who will suffer because of it. OK, so you could identify who submitted the dodgy code and remove all of their contributions but it might not be sufficient by that point.
Exactly. Also dear readers, watch out for low/high IDs in relation to the content of each post. I bet you can judge which side of the fence they'll be on before reading.
I also wonder how another famous Gary (McKinnon) is getting along. The US didn't need entrapment because the UK just rolled over like a good little doggie and handed him to them.

Well then you probably wouldn't have much of a problem then. :)
I don't know. The majority of people are stupid. Do you really want them in charge?
Which is what you would expect from money grubbing pigopolists.

Nice list but they seem to be missing alien abductions and unexplained phenomena.
Yeah, just don't let EA Marketing get their hands on this.
I loved Columns for the Atropos sound-track. You could play for ages listening to that.
Umm, Redhat?
Have you tried the CCCP codec pack with Media Player Classic? I've found it to be a cleaner and more compatible distribution than Klite.
I think standards are just much lower in his country.
Abondonware? :)
You should have spent more time grinding refreshes.

And about the same level of intelligence as other twitter users.

Why does that matter?

I dare say. But aren't you selling yourself a bit short? :)
Yes, he must the most exciting Gordon yet! Except Flash Gordon, but that doesn't really count. :)

Imagine a beowolf cluster for those.
