"A Gameloft employee, who asked not to be named, said a clause in their contracts allowed for a "reasonable amount" of unpaid overtime." And another clause most likely allows them to quit with a two weeks notice. Why don't you just quit?

That's exactly the wrong approach. Better approach: Install a small wireless sender in the car that broadcasts at a given frequency. Then allow people who want a minimum noise level to buy a small receiver that broadcasts those signals (or

I never understood why GoDaddy has such a monopoly-like status - even in the startup scene. I've only used their services once (because someone transfered a domain to me and prefered to do this as GoDaddy-internal transfer), but the first t

I'm not familiar with US law. In most European countries (that do not have specific crypto laws) you neither need to give the judge any information (except your name and address), nor help the prosecutor (i.e., the judge cannot order you to

If you share your password across different sites: Yes - you should change it to a non-shared password. There are plenty of password managers that can store randomly generated passwords for you. And if you don't like that there's also PwdHa

If the same amount of heat would be released in the environment, you would create energy (electricity) from nothing. And I think that there might be some scientists here, who do not think that this is possible.

Why should a panic require intervention? If somebody wants to sell his Bitcoins way below the market price - why stop him?

Depends on the online-service. E.g., I trust tarsnap (client-side encryption, not under an open-source license but you can compile it yourself) with very sensitive data. I also trust Wuala (also client-side encryption) with semi-sensitive d

It does not make sense for the Bitcoin client to do so, because you can only use this information if you know all Bitcoin addresses of the sender (as any one might potentially be used as sender of the Bitcoins). In addition, even the (typic

If Dropbox would have used client-side encryption (in addition to their server-side security measures) you wouldn't need to worry about issues such as server security. That's why you shouldn't trust statements like: "Theoretically we can re

You don't necessarily have to be a security expert to use Bitcoins, just if you want to run the client by yourself. If you don't have the required knowledge just pay a little bit to a "Bitcoin bank" that handles the task for you. In the rea
