this is a major mistake by them. Their raid on this company is equivalent to person A threatening person B over the telephone, and the FBI comes in and shuts down Verizon or AT&T or (insert phone company) instead of the perp. Whoever sanctioned this in the FBI should at least be fired.
It seems that the Mexican justice system is actually better and faster than the American justice system. How sad the state of the US's justice system is in.
life "ab initio". Even if a group managed to reproduce an entire human being "ab initio" from a protein replicator and an genetic map, this still does not count. We are not even close to understand why DNA/RNA/proteins act they way they do. This can be liken to someone dumping all the chips/resistors/capactiors for a modern PC with a schematic on how to connect it together to form a living PC (hint: the used to be called Heath Kits). Does that individual who assemble the CPU/GPU/memroy/rom capacitors, etc to form a working PC really understand how the central CPU is designed? F**k no. Or how a modern GPU works or is assembled or the material properties why it works? F**K no. I'll bet most Heath Kitt enthusiast couldn't even described dI/dt for a simple inductors, capacitor and resistor to a AC line. Please.
Again, I have a very sneaky suspicion that this business has been doing this for some time: state one price and then up it and charge the customer or insurnance company. Well, let the FBI at this and we'll see...
I find that extremely difficult to believe. He could simply not pay it. My guess is that if the FBI does investigate this business and the lawyer involved (for extortion), there are very likely other users who shared similar problems.
Why would an individual waste his or her time writing up a phoney post? It's very likely the business did commit some sort of insurance fraud and the FBI should investigate this. Once the FBI is involved, you are looking at some hard federal time.
No, the defendent should countersue the lawyer and business. Again, stating an opinion is 100% legal.
I read the defendent's online posting and submitted it to the FBI for a possible insurance fraud. This is a clear case against the business if the billing statements are true. See, now the business and lawyer could face 10-30 years in a federal prison for trying to scare someone. What a bunch of idiots, in my humble opinion.... Thank God for the FBI.
Not if he posted it under his own opinion like this: "I believe Mr. Soandso is a criminal and I think he is a crook. He should be convicted of insurance fraud under my humble opinion.". Any lawyer that even tries to bring this such a libel suit to court will be disbarred and should be. Hell, the lawyer should be locked up and made an example of for trying to prevent freedom of speech.
"presumably he's interested in making a career in academia"
That's laughable. Come on! Nobody can make a career in academia. It is widely regarded that most professors are crooks as they steal from graduate and post-docs (mainly foreigners) and are pretty much there for being in a mainly "good ol" boys network (though, some of those boys are now girls) and if you are not in that group, you are pretty much screwed no matter what you do. Yes, even a publication in Science or Nature will NOT HELP YOU, so I say to this kid, DO IT.
"Legal right isn't what wins in the US judicial system. The ability to afford to argue your case is."
BWwwwhhaaat?!? So you are saying that one with enough monetary reserves to hire many lawyers might even get away with any case? Even Murder? Naaaah, not in the good ol' USA where the law trumps all and is always enforced to help the greater good. Yup.
codes and modify them until you get them what you need to do. Now, since you started with GPL, then entire project is GPL. It doesn't matter what the university or company states they owned. GPL overrules...always as previous court cases have shown. DOn't let these anal clowns on slashdot scare you.
Bah. Don't listen to this guy, as somone stated before import some GPL-ed third-party code into your project forcing pretty much the entire project into GPL. This also works for company code. Knowing most professors are idiots and/or too busy too care, they won't know what hit them.
This might be true for some companies, but remember, this guy is talking about a UNIVERSITY. Universities are extremely unlikely to go after previous students for releasing source code without permission. Considering the bad press that this would create, and that Universities receive alot of moola from the US Government and state, puts this source code into this guys favor.
Yes, and this new "Edison Personal Supercomputer" has a funny habit of importing European Supercomputer Systems and, through sophisticated beyatch slapping robotics, stamping a "Edison Personal Supercomputer" over the logos of that European Supercomputer Systems.
of a pinhead? I know making gold nano-particles can be done by anyone, anywhere. It is very simple to do. They are much smaller than a pinhead and their arrangement can easily be made so that the surface area is billions of times larger than a pinhead. Now, can a simple pointer laser set off positrons? If not, how about a green laser? If not, how about shining the green laser through a $600 frequency doubler crystal onto those gold nano-particles?

Man, you linux people are as disillusioned as the Apple fanatics. Fix the damn UI problems and Linux one day might enjoy double digit occupacy on PCs.
but what about the K-Y Fornification?
Hey, it worked for a bunch of judges in pennsylvania and their custom, little kiddie sex/work prison, so why wouldn't it work here?

then its 110% fine. If he posted those tweets during the verdict, then it might be a problem.
Yeah, you know it...

I'm so sick and tired of these companies doing dumb, fucking shit like this. FUCK THEM! Don't buy any of their products again. FUCK THEM! FUCJ!
