It's fucking disgusting, if you ask me.

We need to stop shoehorning the kitchen sink into HTML. For example, to do Real-Time Communications on the Web, we now have WebRTC.

Like fucking for virginity

ICAME

Working 10, 12, even 18 hours a day for weeks on end is no problem as long as you have nothing else in your life and you REALLY LIKE the work you're doing. This is exceedingly rare, but I have spent a few years of my life doing just that and it was rewarding in its way.

However, being MADE to work substantially more than 40 hours a week is counter-productive. The staff tire and become unmotivated, and some will leave, which (as should be obvious) costs the team more time than it's worth in recruiting new productive staff.

You must have real difficulty working out which items are edible in a chalk and cheese shop.

Do you post as "magnoliafan" on moviepoopshoot.com?

Sue that information right off the Internet! It'll work, we promise.

They're not "slowly turning" at all. With their walled garden and draconian control over user habits and experience, they're a leading example of what a government might aspire to.

Same here, about half a page further than I thought. I guess we must not be new here :)

I know I'm really uninformed on this shit, but what you've said is the impression I get too.

By "disclosing information to another party" I meant specifically the contents of a conversation or correspondance. The logical implication of what you're saying is that any such conversation or correspondance falls automatically under the DPA which is obviously hogwash.

I'm interested to hear how this applies. I know the DPA stipulates protection for personal identifiable *data* such as email address and phone number, but I don't understand how it prevents a party from disclosing information to another party.

For example, if I fuck my girlfriend's best friend and tell her by email, can I sue her for telling everybody? Don't be ridiculous. Utter bullshit.

This may be a basic question, but is it even legal or enforcable for me to assert that my previous emails to you are confidential and undisclosable, despite the fact that you've read them already and never agreed to any terms or conditions while doing so?

Seriously, the fucking cheek of these bastards. That can't be right. NDAs and confidentiality agreements are, to my mind, an OPT IN process. You can't be forced to abide by terms you never agreed to, surely! Apart from a court gagging order (which sounds more fun that it is, I'm sure).

-- For those who can't reach the story, I'm talking about the CEO's insistence that the chap in question isn't allowed to publish excerpts from his previous email correspondance with the guy in charge of the timetable data. Despite the fact that the disclaimer says *specifically* that only the intended recipient can read or *disclose* the email contents, which again is another "WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH EURASIA" move from these fuckbags.

I have one of those names too. Then I was an early bird and got $my.$name@gmail.com first out of the millions of people with my name. Now I get *all* of their fucking emails. They're either all goddamn stupid or their friends are. I have their passwords, their children's schoold details, their gay porn video rental list, death notices of their relatives, you name it.

Too bad I'm too busy to have fun with it
