So what steps are you taking from keeping Apple, Google, the NSA or some other large org from knowing every aspect of your life?

I would think there are degrees of leak, some might involve the FBI... others like this case would seem to be a case of "things went public earlier than we wanted but are not going to involve law enforcement"

How old are you? 12? 13? You clearly have a rather limited memory of history with comments like:

What could Microsoft's shitty "late to the game" voice recognition add over the existing solutions?

Or should we forget that Android is actually (still) the newcomer to the modern world of smartphones? I seem to recall Blackberry, iOS and Windows Mobile/Phone/Mobile existing well before Android... clearly in your world Android has nothing to offer over the existing solutions!

Whatever ideas from another platform could ever influence ones own platform of choice, purity above all else must be enforced eh?>

Racist much?

It's called wrongful termination and the civil lawsuit consequences

And if his employment was 'at-will'? If so then he has just as big of a leg to stand on as if he were fired because wore a green shirt to work on a Tuesday... none.

So long as you are not dismissed in violation of an employment agreement (which are usually worded in favor of the employer), in violation of law, or you can make a compelling case that you are a member of a protected class & that was actually the reason... you aren't going to win such a battle.

If it took a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol, how can they prohibit cannabis without one?

This might be the first time a GNAA post would be on topic...

That was pretty much the claim that was made when Sarah Palin's group showed Gabby Giffords' congressional district with a crosshair over it.

Does the place you work have two or more completely separate networks with no access between the inside & outside ones, requiring you two have two PCs on your desk, one for searching Google for how an API works or posting to /., and another you do your sensitive work work on? Probably not.

After 9/11 there was talk about setting up federal systems this way... clearly that still hasn't happened as once you breach a single PC inside of the corporate network, even if that PC doesn't have access to your target data, it and it's users permissions can be used to climb the ladder to find someone who does have data and use them.

The % of the background check that is the self-volunteered information isn't important, but the fact it exists and can be very compelling in the wrong hands.

Sony must not have been either when oodles of data got pulled out of them... or those detection measures were not enough.

Even if you are looking for mass uploads or downloads, there is no reason the bad guy wouldn't be willing to have the ex-filtration take a bit longer by spreading it between multiple offsite servers with smaller packages of data and over a longer bit of time.

Unfortunately I think you'll find that your example won't change any minds because:

1. Creationists won't accept this as an example of evolution. What they're looking to "disprove" is the idea that man evolved from apes, or rather that given time, one kind of animal species will transform into a completely new and distinct species. But in your example the moths are still moths, just in a different color.

2. More seriously you can't fight illogic with logic.

That might save them from being sued by the users but not the publishers. They are creating unauthorized derivative copies of copyrighted works.

That's illegal.

A third party can't waive your right to defend your IP.
