Ray Bradbury, beloved science fiction author, dies
"Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and other
beloved science fiction novels, died Wednesday at the age of 91, according to the i09 science fiction blog. "His legacy lives on in his monumental body of books, film, television and theater, but more importantly, in the minds and hearts of anyone who read him, because to read him was to know him. He was the biggest kid I know," his grandson told i09." See: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/...144137431.html |

You don't see this everyday in squeaky clean Singapore. Makes me wonder if there are other unreported cases elsewhere in the world that will make for interesting reading. |

There are. Recently a Navy white horse was accused of having sex with a female officer from the Australian officers academy while on exchange learning programme there.
The case you mentioned are all directors, I wonder if he is a MILFcon. @TRL : Wanna ditch your lolis and go for more mature women?

Anyone have the feeling that HR departments in the US are being lazy/buffoonish with their gleeful adoption of LinkedIn (more and more are actually *requiring* applicants to use it) --- here we go:
Nearly 6.5 million LinkIn passwords appear to have been stolen --> http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/06/06/154420917/nearly-6-5-million-linkedin-passwords-reportedly-stolen Also US productivity is dropping yet companies are not hiring --> http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/...-mixed-picture

Reminds me that many companies are outsourcing their tech-infrastructure to outside companies without an in-house computer engineer and tech-team to "lower costs" : tell me that again when they face their lawyer's bill for fighting their court-case of corporate espionage.

The pay is good, but I don't know if another temp actually made more money from the temp job by copying that data to a marketing company - he would have made at least a couple of dollars per person, given the market rates at that time. Is encryption that expensive as compared to client data?

Of course - the AM of the HR warned us that he will kill us all temps if we made her cry.
