That is a valid point but I think
1) Someone who would go to this extent to prevent you from getting a job is also likely not someone I would want to work for anyhow.
2) The time when the officer pulls you over is not the approprate time to argue your case. That's what the court is for. "This citation is not an admition of guilt...." blah blah blah and all that stuff they say when you sign the ticket.
My biggest concern is that it seems to presently be somewhat difficult to get the cops to ever release footage they do shoot from their cars. As long as these videos are made part of public record and freely available for anyone to view then I can see this being a major step in several ways.
... allow for harvesting of information on your computer. If you read the full agreement you'll see that it specifically states, "By using Valve's online sites, products, and services, users agree that Valve may collect personally identifiable information (as defined below)."
No where does it say they will go through your DNS cache. At best, the policy covers things such as your Name, Address, Phone Number, CC #, etc for billing purposes, and the use of cookies and the like.
Unfortunately the Steam TOS has a binding arbitration clause which effectively keeps you from suing them. (See section 12 of the Steam TOS)
This cookie is hard to remove? Really? I spent less than 5 minutes and defeated it. This thing is a joke.
Just use the private browsing option in Firefox or Chrome; simple. I cannot fathom why this thing keeps getting so much attention.
Radio Shack does indeed still sell these kits, however, I have not seen them in the actual brick and mortar stores, as such one needs to order them online. The cost of such kits will vary depending on how many different components you want to buy. E.g. the 40-n-1 will be cheaper than the 100-n-1.
These kits are excellent starters for kids as they can be reused as long as you take decent care of them, and comes with a book which talks about the components in detail and explains how they function in the circuit.
Good luck!
That's assuming that the Supreme Court rules in favor of this guy's claims. Even so, the governor would have to call an emergency session of the Texas Legislature, and then they'd have to vote on a new law. Even if they manage to agree on new rules in the 30 day session, that would only leave them 20 days or so before the election date to try and get the law enacted. It'd be a close call, and probably a record time frame for getting any law passed.
On a personal note this whole deal stinks of sour grapes on the Libertarian's part, but they do raise a valid point.
Lets not forget about those who do not have degrees; there are some people who are perfectly capable (if not more so in some cases) than some who do have degrees.
How would you tell if they can do the job?
But if you look at the email transactions it would appear that the Wikileaks representative did in fact ask them to identify the infringing documents so they could be removed, or updated to reflect correct information. They also pointed out that they were not stopping the banking firm from posting its own information to clarify the documents.
Instead, they were meet with more hostility and the same ambiguous demands from the lawyer.
As an artist I find this highly interesting. I'm always looking for new mediums to work with, and I certainly hope this becomes easy enough to work with where I can experiment with it. I'm sure it would open up a whole host of new ideas for creative avenues.
So does that its illegal for the search engine bots to "view" their page for their "protected" keywords? I can just see it now, small law firm gets CRUSHED by Google, Yahoo, et. al.
If its a Dallas cop I'm particularly sympathetic for him. I've been hearing that the Dallas police have been getting in a lot of trouble with their citizens lately for having rather poor attitudes towards people and situations, and generally just being all around rude.
If a cop runs a light to go to a crime scene as in the case you describe above, then their associates should be able to back up their claims that's where they were going. There should also be police reports showing who was on duty at the seen when it transpired; in which case it should go to court and the judge and just throw the citation out. No harm, no fowl. But from what it sounds like, this particular cop decided to run a light, and the Dallas PD isn't backing up his claims that he was going to a crime scene of any type. If that's the case he needs to be held accountable.
The police are not above the law! It is my belief that the law is doublely important for our law enforcement agencies. If we cannot trust them to follow the law when they need to, then why should we? Even more importantly, how can you feel safe knowing that they are breaking laws willy nilly? Who knows what laws they decide its convent for them to break at the time. Does this suddenly give them the right to also play judge, jury, and executioner on the spot? I should hope not!
Texas is a right to work state. You (or your employer) can quit at any time you see fit, and you do not have to give two weeks of notice. Giving two weeks notice is usually done so an employer will have sufficient time to find a replacement for you and so you can give that new person the needed training to fill in your role after you're gone.
I can't see how them suing you is going to make you want to stay there, if anything, it just confirms reasons for leaving such a place. If they say you signed an N.D.A. or a non-compete agreement, and you say that you haven't then it is likely not going to go anywhere. You should definitely seek the advice of a lawyer though.

Let's not forget the real heart of this matter here. What Microsoft wants is a tax for them to fix the problems in their software which....
SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

So, how much longer until they make it illegal to even make a short clip with their overly contrived method?

I don't recall Safari, Quicktime, and/or iTunes needing to be installed on an Mac OS X system in order for it to run correctly either.....
