No. Most companies don't understand Agile so they're either afraid of it or they implement their own flavor which is usually far from Agile.

And here's some of the stuff I heard managers/CEOs say about agile:

Agile may be better than waterfall, but what would we do without all that documentation??!?!?1?? How would the project survive and how could the developers write code without shitloads of documentation? Who the fuck do those computer programmers believe they are when ask to be considered human beings? Everybody knows you can't trust your employees with anything, so you have to make all the decisions because they're either incompetent, they might steal your code or they might intentionally break it. Waterfall WTF! </sarcasm>

From other comments: see geociti.es and geocities.ws

That was from IBM, not MS. Look it up, really!

What about cookies and IP address?

The man-in-the-middle is there, but he can't do anything, because of the way SSL works. There is not man-in-the-middle attack. Very good question though!

And you get +1 funny instead of insightful. This is how reliable the "online experience" is. Good luck explaining to your boss why "someone on the Internet" called you a rapist.

I say we just declare that all existing swear-words are NO LONGER swears. And we just invent new ones.

Yes, he should have included ALL the surveillance methods ever used and ever to be used. Just a few scary samples isn't enough (at least for you...)

I have unlimited data transfer at 5Mbit/sec for $10/month. At least that's what I get from my ISP and they explicitly allow me to run any services I want (I just can't send mail through port 25 without making a phone call first and even that takes only a few minutes and it's a one-time activation). This is in Romania.

FTFY

No, they're not. They're hoping to get as many settlements as possible.

From all of the above comments, I see that people are FINE with stickers, they just don't know how to take them off and they complain about the glue. They don't feel "forced" (as TFA suggests). I actually keep the stickers for as long as possible (until they get dirty) because it gives me the feeling of "new" :)

In support of the parent post: can you even trust your own hardware? I remember a recent story on Slashdot regarding some common computer hardware (a video or a network card) had its firmware infected with a trojan. And even more recently, a company accidentally released a software update that was infected with a virus (the machine they used to compile was infected, so the compiled .exe got infected as well).

At least do it right, dammit! It's all your book are belong to us ("book" not "books").

They're not hypocrites. It clearly says that the name was borrowed , not stolen. I'm sure they're honest people and they'll pay the school sooner or later. We must consider Facebook to be innocent until proven guilty and, until now, there is no proof that they won't pay... right?
