It happened too right here and the judge said something different but it was accepted. The guy receives a ticket for speeding. So he accepts it and goes away. While going away he flashes his headlights to say theres a cop and that same cop see's him flashing his headlights. He receives a ticket. In front of the judge the person tells him that a police officer is there for the security of the people (which is part of their main job by the way )and not give tickets for cash. So for helping a fellow officer, he was helping an officer doing so. The judge accepted in favor of the citizen because of what the person said made a lot of sense. Helping an officer is not illegal and by doing so his ticket was invalid.

my salary goes up cause I KNOW I work more than my boss and/or my other colleges at work. But since it gathers data and gives it to the boss, I hardly doubt it will be used this way.

they wont survive the heat as the heat from a drying machine or anyone very high in temperature will stick notes together and make the note unusable... I don't know how that passed the test though...very odd

that makes sense if your playing with someone elses code. Study it and document everything you see and and you change.

Each fix I would apply I would document and put as much information as possible. I would also document each bug encountered and give good arguements to why I need to fix it. In other word a thorough explanation so no one would need my input directly since all the info is in the report. That report would exist so the original programmer won't be able to backstab you in the back or create problems. Contractor or not that does not explain the skills of a person. It there was slacking done by the developers, his employee needs to know...If I payed a lot of money, i would expect to know that kind of thing from a contractor or anyone I pay to get the job done.

But it will also make it easier for the public to use and share government information.

Whats stoping them to use PDF ? Public document has to be revised or someone has to look at it before being released. All that person needs to do is convert it to PDF which is super easy

For sharing them within the same environment and save money, yup OpenOffice or LibreOffice might be the solution but its certainly not free as you have to spend cash for the software lessons to employees and to make sure you hire dev's to have all features you got in Microsoft suite into OpenOffice or LibreOffice. But at the end in the longterm it is possible and you do save cash.

I have a child which has a mental handicap (he needs more time to learn what a child does in 1 day, he does it in 2 or couple more days). On top of that he had a hearing problem and he's hyperactive at the same time. Yup i got the whole package.

I go with pure logic here. I try to keep him busy all the time. Supervised or not that's not important but it does have a certain priority of course depending on how you know your child (could be 12 kids in a room instead of your own). If I don't keep him busy or let him go free, he will do what he wants and that means he could go in his room and empty all his closets and...well piss me off in other words. Same goes in a class or in school. It's not rocket science. just keep them busy with activities or toys and you wont see them in trouble.... its simple trust me.

If you look at this page its suppose too but I guess it depends on which version you got : http://appdb.winehq.org/object...

Use Wine for Windows compatible software. The latest version makes almost everything works and most distro have a forum with super geeks that will help you. Also, steam has a Linux version so when a gaming platform has linux support its a good idea to use their games and software as they might have a Linux solution.

beside being faster to work with from bootup to working with apps everyday I find Windows 8 annoying sometimes. Like the way the apps work as it forces me to use the metro interface while I just want to work in desktop mode. So what i did was install all the apps I can so I wont swith to metro interface. I even used a shutdown and a reboot button on my desktop so I wont use the metro interface at all.

The headline doesn't talk about windows 7 is coming back cause the hardware fails. Its about user perception. Not the same thing. Most of the people I know, the articles and the news that I keep hearing about windows 8 and its lack of love is the fact that its too different (no start button, 2 interface to work on, lack of quit button, its not the classic interface). True that HP had a high rating of failure but its not the reason why they brought back Windows 7

For office users, business rather choose Windows product cause it's a terrain they already know. To change to something else and change your complete infrastructure is soo costy that your not going to go ahead with the change. It's true that if you go with Linux, at a minimum would be a big saver to remove the windows licence and another big saver would be to remove the price for each outlook exchange box which is around 70$ last time I checked but you would have to either train your people for linux product. Then train your IT personal for linux or change them completely. Then you have to change the infrastructure so its not an easy task and that is not free. That's the main reason business rather stay on Windows since they already started.

the same principle goes for mac. So thats telling people are idiot is not a reason because of what I just said.
