In most European countries even if you did sign something saying you would work 60h a week, the judge would ignore it, saying you can't possibly have wanted to do something like that.
In my understanding (and certainly in Holland), you cannot waive statutory rights.
Interesting to know where you're coming from though.

If you are working in the UK then any hours over 48 require you to sign a contract / disclaimer saying that you agree to it. I'm pretty sure that once you've signed the disclaimer then they are allowed to ask you to work more than 48 hours a week. This has to be explicitly stated in the contract though, if it just says hours as necessary then they probably can't hold you to it.
Don't know how it works outside of the UK though.

Hello all. I'm running VMWare Workstation on a Windows XP box, and a virtual Windows ME installation. On my host PC, I have LPT1 mapped to a network printer via the NET USE command. On my virtual machine, I've installed a printer port, installed the appropriate drivers, and told it to map to the host machines LPT1. However, when I try to print from the virtual machine, it can't see the printer. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I am a Software Developer and I know this is a generic question, when I develop software for clients, I need to know what would be the best way in going about in putting in a Software License Agreement....For instance I am not sure if this is the right way to say this....Could anyone guide me on this please...??
Section of Agreement...
1. Intellectual Property Rights:
This software program (the "Software") is copyrighted and is proprietary product of [My Name]
1.1. The use of the term 'Intellectual Property Rights' governs how the software or code, is developed or engineered, in such way that would be defined as including all or some:
1.1.A. Craftsmanship.
1.1.B. Creativity.
1.1.C. Engineering methodologies.
1.2. That is to say, including all or some:
1.2.A. Part of the purpose.
1.2.B. Functionality.
1.2.C. Program specifications.
1.2.D. The nature of the software.
as a whole is not part of the 'Intellectual Property Rights' and is owned by a designated third-party who is agreeing to this contract. WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION OF SECTION 1.1 AS PER STATED ABOVE, WHICH CAN BE INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY BE INCLUDED IN THE ABOVE, STATED IN SECTION 1.2, IN ORDER TO FULFIL OR DELIVER, THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DESIGNATED THIRD-PARTY'S SOFTWARE SOLUTION(S) AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF [My Name].
Is this the correct way in going about in protecting my code...mind you I'm from Ireland which is in Europe/EU and I don't know if copyright laws in the U.S are the same....especially as I'm trying to start up a software consultancy & solutions company....Basically what the above means, that my proprietory intellectual code could reside in the third party's functionality/program specifications, for instance, input validation...I wouldn't want for the third party to lay claim on that and sue me..
I look forward to hearing any kind of input/feedback on how to do this?
Thanks,
Tom Brennan. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hey Tom,
As far as you being in the EU, im not sure. But..., if I were to create my own software license agreement, I would probably use Microsoft's for a template, (they have to have been sued more than any other software company) lol.

Hi Ryan, Many thanks for your input, however, it's not what I'm looking for, the Microsoft's EULA is too wieldy & bulky, I was looking for something more simpler but hammers home the message to third-party clients 'My Intellectual Property Rights can be a part of your specifications/functionality/nature/purpose so you don't sue me if I use that piece of functionality in another program and lay a claim on it.' It boils down to code reusability being used to save my time while delivering the required functionality/purpose/nature of the third-party's software. (The above in quotes, where me is referenced, it means Tom the software developer, where you is referenced refers to the third-party who would be agreeing to the license!) I know I'm making it sound complicated but I have to make sure that I'm well & truly protected and that my ass is covered from any legalities....   
Tom.

[...] when I develop software for clients [...]
Well, if you are doing development for a paying client, you are doing a work-for-hire. This is different than creating a product and licensing it to one or more entities. For example, if you hire and pay a contractor to build an extension onto your house, (s)he does not have any rights to it when the job is done (i.e. they cannot come and stay/camp in it any time they want).
In the US, doing a work-for-hire usually means that you transfer all rights to that work to the client. This prevents you from doing things like developing a product for them, which they plan to sell for $500 per license, and after giving them the code you turn around a month later and sell basically that same product for $250 per license.
I have seen some cases where the author retains some or all rights to the code, so that they are allowed to reuse parts of it in future development efforts, or prevent the client from making their own changes to it (rare!); but there is generally a clause that prevents direct competition with the client or any of their other products (since you may have been exposed to them).
IANAL, but that is how I have seen things work...
I believe it is a different story if you simply reapply the technology. For example, I created a small expression/interpreter engine called the MetaPattern Engine in a semiconductor-related product I worked on a little while ago. There was nothing novel about the engine, only its specific application in this case was of interest. As such, nothing stops me from recreating a similar technology and then apply it to a new scenario. But I think doing so with a directly competing product would be just asking for a lawsuit.
Peace!

I'm not sure this fits in here but I want to get some advise from some professional people . First let me start by saying that I used to work in NY for my company called (lets say X).I'm now in Missouri . There was a position in ST Louis Missouri for a Sr Systems Administrator so I took it because it looked like a good opportunity to live somewhere where you can afford a House . NY is so expensive especially on Long Island . So now I'm in Missouri ..In my group that I work with there is another Sr Systems Administrator so we are a team ..we are on the same level . There is also a systems administrator in my group that takes direction from both of us . Now here is where the ugly part is coming into play . The Sr systems admin that I work with is not doing his part to support the network and neglecting his duties (it seems its been this way before I got here) but doesn't want to admit that he doesn't do his job of course . We both report to a Manager in NY (cool right ? ) Well my relationship with my equal co-worker has gotten to the point that we don't talk to one another mainly cause we had a heated discussion on how he doesn't perform his duties and I seem to be doing most or all the work related to our Job function . He is slow at completing tasks and sometimes I just don't know what he does and he sits in the cube right next to me . I'm not the type to lay judgement on anyone but when your at a certain level then you should perform to your abilities or at least try . So my problem is that I moved out here to Missouri and now I'm in an awkward position with this person . I have talked to my manager and asked for us to be separated in some way. I also explained allot of the things that been going on .He agreed mostly with what I had to say about this person and he said he would think about it and get back to me . I been with the company since 1997 . The only thing that is good is that I'm single not married have no kids . I do love this company I work for but I hit this road block . The problem person has been with the company for 15 years so I'm thinking that the company will not do anything about this .I think whats going to happen is that I am going to have to look for a new Job .. possibly I might want to move back to NY ... cause I miss it so much.
I just want to know if anyone ever had a similar experience and what did they do ... or if anyone had any advise .
Thanks for reading
Chris

Hi,
In my opinion there's not much you CAN do:
1. Be indefinitely patient.
2. Search for antoher job.
3. Talk it over (but that's you've been trying).
4. Get a transfer.
In my experience:
if(communication == NULL){ GameOver(); }
Make sure that you cannot be blamed for anything. So take a good look at yourself too. (I'm not saying that you're to blame, so please don't take it that way  )
I hope you find a solution, whatever you do, DON'T LET IT GET TO YOU!!! It's just not worth it.
good luck.

I don't see in your job description where worrying about fellow employee is your action item.
Is there some way that you can clearly delineate between your responsibilities and his? Your tasks and his? Or is this a situation where you think some aspect of DNS (for example) should be done a certain way, reasonable people could differ, and you are making an issue of it unnecessarily?
If there is that much difference between you guys, and his and your responsibilities are clear cut, then the results should be evident. If it's not affecting the company all that much, and as long as you're not actually working overtime doing his stuff as well as yours, and the company wants to be charitable to some guy, then is that your business?

You could also write up a weekly report and identify each task that you completed and even show that it was assigned to your co-worker. Then there is a paper trail that you are doing his job as well as yours.

First I would like to say that a 9 page resume is abit long. I do like that you included the information about each company, but I would find that totally not needed. I could always look up the old companies to see what they did.
Even taking your appendices out of the picture, you still have 3 pages. You have alot of white space and should look at your margins and rearrange things abit to stay on 2 pages if you can. I know a guy that had a 6 page resume and was wondering why nobody was looking at it and I suggested making it one 2 and he got a job pretty quick. At least ppl replied to his resume.
Keep in mind that people looking over resumes are going to be looking at ALOT of resumes. You need to make sure that you don't go to the fluff pile and I think that with a 9 page one you will almost automatically.
Of course that is just my thoughts.

Things I would recommened.
1) Remove description of the companies.
2) Remove all pictures
3) Under each company write some small snippets of how you helped the company and what YOU developed.
You seem to hop around companies. Where you contracting for them? If so maybe put next to the company name you were (Contracting). If you weren't you may not want to list the exact months you were at each company and just create a list of companies you worked for. Then write about what YOU have accomplished in your career.
