All four blades are identical so you'd only need a picture of one blade and slightly more effort in duplicating. These don't seem like they'd increase the difficulty at all.
He did nothing of the sort. He in no way entered "a residence or other enclosed property through the slightest amount of force." He accessed data on a network he had password access to.
There was no physical space involved. The best this could relate to your analogy is that he knocked on the door and told the guy inside the password, asked for a listing of what was inside, asked for a specific item from the list and was handed the item without ever entering the premises.
I'd like to believe people would read this & I'd magicly have a truckload of electronics on my doorstep no matter how old they are, but the reality is there wont be even as much as a post card.
That's because your place is a little too Covert; the postman can't find it.
. . . and we can do that because instead of using DRM which is easy to crack and hard to track, we use digital watermarks with individual serial numbers, which are easy to tie to the original purchaser through various databases (and court orders to access those databases), then people will begin to understand the increased risk of getting caught.
If this were to happen, it would lead directly to myself, and possibly many others, no longer purchasing legal music and instead solely obtaining it through nefarious, and probably illegal, means. Why would I pay to obtain a copy of a song that could possibly be taken and distributed, i.e. by a zombie machine, my nephew, etc. and then tied directly to me, when I could take it from someone else and let them face the consequences. With people being sued based upon an IP and the RIAA getting as far as they do with very little hard evidence, I find it hard to believe that I would ever get a ruling in my favor when they had music with a watermark containing my distinct information.
I agree that snapping a photo of light sounds dubious, but it looks like an electron flash, so maybe it's just making something visible that wouldn't have been seen otherwise. All photos are photos of light.
Indeed, which is why I am currently on the 3 DVD plan. However, I logged in last night to update my Que and I got an offer to upgrade my 3 DVD plan ($16.99) to a 4 DVD plan for an additional $1.86 -- which, if you do the math, makes the 4 DVD plan even cheaper. I'm debating on what to do, since I don't even utilize the 3 DVD plan very efficiently. Check things out first. I had the same offer and found that the additional cost (in your case $1.86) meant they'd send you that extra disc for the rest of the month. After that you go up to the 4 discs at a time price which is about $7 more a month. I almost fell for that too until I kept reading and realized that was prorated through the end of this month only.
They could just simply give them to Egyptians, Iraqis, or even better, the Israelis and tell the Supreme Court to go tell them what to do. No tricks whatsoever. "Yes, your honor, we released them to a foreign government that wanted them." Something tells me, however, that would much rather stayed at Gitmo and will be quite pissed at our Supreme Court. So we should treat them like crap here because if we gave them to someone else they would be worse off? How about we just treat them as POWs and follow the Geneva Conventions or treat them as civilians and give them the rights due civilians held in our country as it should be.
The problem here isn't with SCOTUS, it's with the executive trying to add a third classification that essentially says we can hold them forever and treat them however without possibility of a fair trial because we say they are bad without actually showing any evidence of such.
If they are guilty, give them a trial, show evidence to prove and then do with them what you will, but don't try to tell me, as Bush seems to be doing, that they are guilty by virtue of being in Gitmo so no evidence need be presented.
lets call this new invention "secure design".
What a novel idea, we should patent that! It wouldn't do you any good since someone would have to actually infringe upon this first for you to get any money out of it.
At the cost of hurting LOTS more honest sellers...
Who is hurt more from retaliatory feedback, the honest seller making their living on eBay who has 10000 feedback or the honest buyer with under 100 feedback who is retaliated against by a bad seller? Every "shop," brick and morter or online, is going to have its bad customers, but with an honest shop a potential buyer is only going to see a few negatives compared to the many positives and know that it was a single bad buyer or so.
An honest buyer with a small amount of feedback getting a negative will lower their percentage considerably and look bad to all future sellers. I've left no feedback instead of negative to keep my buying feedback 100% on absolutely terrible transactions where I did everything right, i.e. paid quickly, contacted the seller multiple times, etc., because I saw from experience that the seller uses feedback to retaliate.
The feedback system as it stands now is heavily weighted in the seller's favor.
Auctions need to be extended 5 minutes after the last successful bid. Then sniping and snipers go away.
No, bidders need to realize that they are entering the maximum they are willing to pay for an item. If I bid 5 days or 5 seconds before the end of an auction I should get the item if I am willing to bid more than any other bidder entered as their max. If people don't realize that eBay uses a proxy bidding system then they are out of luck. If a bidder loses to a snipe, they should have bid more. If they were willing to pay more than they entered, why didn't they enter more? I am not willing to pay more for an item because someone is bidding just to win.
This is easy to watch in practice. See auctions that sell for 10-50% more than similar because there are more bidders. People are willing to pay more to win their current auction than ending at their max and bidding on the next auction that comes around. Sniping takes the psychology out of it.
I don't think that perception really needs urgent countering, as I have not in fact met, nor even imagined, a single person who holds it. Have you been here?
I am just saying a little competition in this area is a good thing. Maybe more fiber being laid, better service, higher speeds, and new technology will come of this.
It is difficult to argue that removing government regulation at this point would increase competition and be good for the consumer when AT&T built their entire infrastructure on subsidies. It's not Sprint/Nextel selling AT&T's product, it's Sprint/Nextel selling a government subsidized product. If the government provides the same service to each of the small players allowing them to build up their own infrastructures, then I'm all for removing regulation on those lines.
These lines were payed for by the government to allow competition by smaller companies through regulation.
Actually, Waldo is northeast of Gainesville which would put it on the way to Jacksonville and not Tampa. Starke and Lawtey (on that same route) tend be to be almost as bad.
I find the billboards the town has posted that say "Not a speed trap... just trying to be safe" in response to the AAA "Speed trap ahead, slow down" signs to be humorous. If they really wanted to be safe, they wouldn't mind the speed trap signs because they slow traffic and make the town safer. It's all about the money.
Running 10.4 on a 6 year old Mac with no problems. In fact, each successive upgrade, i.e. from 10.3 to 10.4, has caused a noticeable increase in responsiveness in the OS and the programs I run. At this rate, I'm really looking forward to every new iteration of the OS.

The difference is that new records stores exist, and sell more records than the used records store.
I'm fairly certain that Best Buy, Target, WalMart, Circuit City, etc. make way more on new games than on used games.

This is in no way breaking and entering.
Therefore, your post is irrelevant.
Besides the fact that LOTR is a set of three books
This is obviously some strange usage of the word 'fact' that I wasn't previously aware of. It is a set of six books in three volumes.
So if I buy a beer in a state with %7 tax and then drink it in a state with %6, do I get the %1 back?

The reason catholic priests are supposed to abstain from sex is because in the catholic church its a sin to have pre-marital sex.
It's not pre-marital if you never get married.

The only people I hear call it Tampa-St. Pete are those from St. Pete and that is rare. Everywhere else it's either Tampa or Tampa Bay.

So where did you stay while your room was flooded?
I think you mean Faraday cage, but I agree. I don't see anything wrong with passive interference.
But Highlander won the Academy Award for best movie ever made!
