I disagree with this blanket statement. If you are a sole contractor who bid on a contract to produce software that does XYZ and it was a fixed price contract, than yes, I would say you need to fix the bugs. But that typically isn't the case for contract workers. They are contracted to fill required services, including development, and code debugging. If they are not satisfied with the level of code produced by the contractor, they have every right to end the contract, but asking for code debugging to be done off the clock is outside the scope of work.

The poster said nothing about cancer. But what has been found true is the human body's reaction to the sweetener in which insulin is still produced even though there is no sugars that it can attach to, which drops the blood sugar levels to an extreme low level. This DOES have health implications.

You are assuming that the long term costs are footed by the company themselves. For instance, most places have insurance policies that will pay for damages from storms/weather and the drivers of the vehicles (and/or their insurance companies) pay for it when they are involved. Those prices are SUBSTANTIALLY lower than the costs involved in getting new "right of ways", checking against documented and undocumented subterranean lines (water, sewer, gas, oil, etc.) as well as the costs to actually excavate and bury the lines.

I thought they were overtly Jewish...

Seriously, you are 100% correct in what you say, but according to the GOP, the government doesn't create jobs, and thus, the government can't hire qualified people to do work, but instead needs to outsource it all to private industry, all the while not having the expertise needed to even evaluate the private companies it is contracting to do the work.

That is/was actually best practices for a secured network. One of the exploits for gaining access to the network required rebooting the network equipment so that it would load code injected by the attacker either from local/physical access or remote access. By having all the settings wipe, the attacker would trip monitoring sensors (due to the network segment going down) as well as not be able to gain any more information about the network from the device that was breached.

However, usually when this is done, a network backup copy of the config is located somewhere that the admin knows. Terry very well could have had such backup copied, but since the city had already fired him, he felt no obligation to give them any more information than what was already documented (which very well may have been saved in a readme, or disaster recovery document that was available somewhere on the network, but again, he was fired on the spot and thus, should not have had any obligation to tell them where to go looking other then between his cheeks as he walked out the door).

He was asked to give the passwords over during a meeting with several people who had not signed the appropriate papers for having said access and had not been documented by information/system security for having a right to the passwords. There was also a conference call being held on the phone in the room with unknown persons who would have then also been privy to the password divergence. Terry simple say "no" to diverging the passwords in that location, at that time, in that manner. In his contract, he had a duty to protect the passwords, and he was still an employee at that time. Giving up the passwords in that location at that time would have been a breach of his contract and he could have been fired on the spot for doing so. He was placed in an impossible situation, where they were firing him if he gave them the passwords or didn't give them the passwords. At that time, no one from security had authorize anyone else to have the passwords, and as such, Terry did the only thing he felt was correct, which was to attempt to give them to the only person who was in charge of the system, which was the mayor, who could then give them to whoever he felt like, in whatever manner he thought he should since it was not written in any contract that he had to protect the passwords or be fired for giving them to someone who had not filled out the proper paperwork and been given approval to have them and doing so in a location where only the person who had been authorized to have them would receive them.

Someone must not realize that Oracle DB is the go to database for big government projects. As this was a "big government project" to begin with, Oracle DB was probably used as the backend in the existing design.

I think a planet like this is just more data backing up the rogue planet theory that some planets have formed either outside of solar systems with a star and/or have been flung out of their solar system when the system came too close to either a black hole or other solar systems. Or for transference of a planet from one solar system into another.

I'm pretty serious with that statement. Steve Jobs would have never let that update out without testing it on every device model. He also would have probably quashed the problems within a couple days by releasing an official statement with an official "fix" to at least rollback the device to an older version (i.e. would have removed the version control checks from the updater). And then the majority of the angry mob would have calmed down since they have a working phone again, and given them time to fix the real problem in the new version.

No, this is actually flying/piloting a spaceship in WWII style dog-fights (with the aid tracking/locking computers, but aiming I believe will be up to the pilot for many ships/guns). Damage occurs based on what was actually hit by the aimed shots which ships having physical locations for things like engines, weapons, life systems, power generators, shields, armor, thrusters, etc., and damaging those different systems will physically affect the operation of the ship (i.e. if you lost all your port thrusters, and the ship doesn't have have a thruster on a gimbal/omni mount, you won't be able to turn to the starboard side (and would instead have to first roll the ship upside down so that you have active/working thrusters so you could then turn to the direction now that you have thrusters that work to push you there).

So actual flying skills will mater. Knowing how to properly dodge enemy fire, perform evasive maneuvers (possibly overriding safety systems that limit the G-forces you receive to do more extreme maneuvers, but then risking blacking out if you go beyond your body's and your suit's limits to keep oxygen going to your brain).

You forgot that the combat is also twitch/skill based and not formula based. In Eve, 1v1 combat is all about knowing your ship's strengths and weaknesses, outfitting it properly to exploit those said strengths and weaknesses and knowing which targets are most vulnerable to your strengths with least ability to threaten your weaknesses... This plus the number of skill points the pilot has giving bonuses to the skills that affect the strengths/weaknesses of the ship.

In gang fights (which most fights are), it is mostly about who has the best logistics and/or best concentrated DPS (typically the group with the most people will win, but not always).

Well, that is due to proper market analysis more so than anything else. It is obviously in the best interest of the current share holders to properly evaluate the stock price before an IPO. An accurate evaluation with erroring on the side of being low means it will grow in price out of the gate, allowing those early backers a chance to sell their existing stock without fear of flooding the market with sell orders when there are no buy orders for the stock.

The use of "an" instead of "a" is determined by the beginning of the word after the "an" or "a". If the word following it is in singular form and begins with a vowel sound, "an" is used. Otherwise "a" is used for the singular form.

This rule is not unlike many other languages. In Spanish, for instance, verbs take on a masculine or feminine form depending on if the subject is a male or female....

On a side note, I would love to see that happen personally because then my wages might actually go up with less H1Bs willing to work for chump-change in the US if there are other places around the world which are actively competing for the personnel.
