If you even have your GPA on your resume after you graduate from college, I would question quite a bit anyway

That's been the opposite of my experience

Probably because they need to be able to upgrade the the OS and apply security patches.

I found it but I'm wrong. It was 4 tabs, but it was 2 slashdot pages (old UI) and wiki-type pages.

My record on FF, thought this was a few versions ago, was just over 1 GB for 4 tabs (no multimedia, just two wiki-type pages and 2 work pages with no flash). I might still have a screenshot of it laying around somewhere.

An assault rifle has a well-known definition. They are select fire, use intermediate cartridge, and feeds from a detachable magazine. They are highly restricted and unavailable to civilians unless they were registered as an NFA weapon before 1986.They are very expensive for non-government purchasers. An assault weapon has many, poorly thought out definitions. Generally speaking it's a semi-automatic rifle with any number of mostly irrelevant characteristics (feeds from detachable magazine, threaded barrel, bayonet lug). These are legal to own in most states and smaller jurisdictions, but obviously one's situations may vary.

How is this comment relevant?

No one uses the FB email address? Why would they when they need a valid email to sign up already?

Any major city, excepting Detroit, has a pretty nice immediate downtown and a ring of shitty stuff out of that. It's the non-gentrified areas around essentially the business districts and bar districts downtown. Chicago, Atlanta, NY, LA and most of other cities I've been to or lived in follow that model.

I know that this is more of an American/Canadian term, but does "chilling effects" ring any bells? If the government can't* do this to journalists but can and will do it to their families and friends, they have to see how that would affect journalist behavior? It's pretty classic operant conditioning AND probably a case of collective punishment as well. * We know they will, but just for the sake of argument

Sounds like the non-idiot consultant was decidedly an idiot. Should have incorporated to shield his personal assets.

Did anyone else do a double take on that headline? I thought it read Build an Open-Source Electric Chair In About One Hour.
That would have been an interesting thread.

I'd just leave in at my desk in a drawer most likely. If I actually worked for a company that tried to implement that, you can guarantee my resume would be going at either at EOD or lunchtime. If your company is suffering because of lack of productivity, the problem might lie with the workers. It probably lies with their boss. Either way, micromanaging 98% of workers* is counterproductive. Much more effective to hire competent, motivated people in the first place and/or replace the people managing them.

* I can see this being useful in a low-skill job with extremely high turnover, but that's about it
