So who exactly goes to jail?

Put it in simple terms, a garage working on your car's brakes screws up.

Do you jail the mechanic that worked on the car?

Or the service manager that told him to hurry up?

Or the middle manager that set the targets for the service time?

Or the CEO of the service division?

Or the CEO of the car company?

Or the CEO of the pension fund that is the main owner of the company - and so the one that benefited from saving money on your service?

Corporate manslaughter was introduced in europe after a ferry sinking where a ferry left port with the bow doors open. The captain was the only one charged - but he claimed the company ordered captains to close the doors while at sea to save time in port. Under the old health and safety law the managers who gave the orders couldn't be punished since they weren't present

Naturally the only people to have been prosecuted aren't the managers of major industrial accidents - it was a single plumber that fitted a faulty boiler.

Excellent - so if this passes, and also passes all the higher courts then it will be against the law to arbitrarily track cell phones.

Except for matters of national security

Or when the NSA do it

Or if it's about terrorism

Or if the police asks the phone companies nicely, and then pardon them for breaking the law afterwards.

If he was really fired by HP for being crap at management then they should welcome a competitor hiring him.

It's difficult to think what trade secrets HP has that Oracle would want. That printer ink is actually made from baby unicorn tears and so it's price is totally justified?

>argue that he can work for Oracle without disclosing HP trade secrets.

Depends, is "treat engineers like crap until they leave - thus reducing costs" an HP trade secret?

Presumably he had time to text "FLLNG OFF CLFF ARGH" before hitting the ground?

Apologies - being over the age of 15 I am not familiar with the shorthand for falling off a cliff in TxtSpk.

Ground loops probably aren't a big problem for a SMPSU - if you are putting power into a metal box you need to have a ground to the metal box.

And the roll of electrical tape is to stop the very fragile and expensive splice rolling off the table.
