Oooooooooooooh, get her...
[I'm allowed to be grouchy today; I just got word back that I've been turned down for a role because "my technical knowledge wasn't good enough". This, despite the fact it was good enough to point out an extra, previously unnoticed, flaw in some sample code.
Perhaps, on reflection, I shouldn't have told the developer about it in front of his manager

I just took the QUE pre-test to see where I'm at. Depending on your perspective I did either really well, or really bad.
Out of 75 questions I got 22 correct. For a hobbiest with no prior background in computers or programming I don't feel so bad...still, I wish I hadn't missed all the complex/simple data binding questions.
Now to dive in and see if I can nail 70-315.
Best,
Jerry

Is it legal for a job contract to make signing it waive the statutory average of 48 working hours per week?
|
|

I'm not sure where you are, but here we have a legal 38h a week. My employer asks for 40h, but every month we get a day off. This is obligated by law I think.
You should check the country you're in for legal stuff.
Notice that although I signed for the 40h, they explicitly asked me (off the record) to do more (like 45-50 h).
Certainly there are web sites that give good information on this of the country in question?
good luck.
(btw can you let me know what the answer is and in which country? I'm interested in working in a foreign country; if I ever get the chance and it would seem to be the same country, ...;))

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.

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!
