He should just tell his boss he's gonna make the cables 'professionally'. Sounds better than 'homemade' and he can always say that they had professionally made cables installed which doesnt sound as bad.
Well it is a bit unprofessional. As a backup company they should keep the backup on hand for a period of time (probably 6 months) before deleting it. I mean at least then you can charge for several months of service at once and possibly a graveyard fee, that is dusting off the backups of your backups to get the data accessible. You might come off as a bit of an asshole but at least you'll have saved the day.
In the case of the USA... The 'Big Media' are seen as too big to fail since the USA's only export these days is cultural. Same with other Imaginary Property laws like Patents, Trademarks and such...
If the USA was actually a manufacturing economy they wouldn't need heavy protection on these things.
I believe they are referring to ship armaments and not say handguns, rifles or other personal weaponry.
If you want to get technical then saving your own ass by shooting back at the pirates is not an 'exercise' or 'practice', it's the real deal. Life or death.
I'm sure things like electrified fences, water cannons and superlube all over the surface of the ship might help but the only thing to stop a truly determined pirate is a lead slug.
What you dont know that they've extended copyright to cover ancient artifacts and national treasures for an infinite period of time? Longest Copyright extension ever.
No. Copyright law is preserving the right of the artist to attempt to profit from their work without the active interference of others.
No Copyright Law is preserving a monopolistic right for a ludicrously long time (120 years or Life + 70 years). Just because I write a software program does not entitle me to live of the proceeds of one program from now to eternity. Neither does writing one song or making one painting or doing one movie entitle an artist to live of the proceeds of that one item from now to eternity either.
In short: Copyright is too fucking long. 7 years, maybe 14 years maximum. Not the equivalent of 120-140 years (which will once again be increased once a certain cartoon mouse potentially enters the public domain).
Oh wow sounds like someone's never gotten caught in a speed trap before. Cops can be seriously corrupt bastards which is why the court system is in place to keep them in line. Basically if a cop parks his cruiser at the bottom of a hill noone will see him AND the added momentum of gravity from the grade pointing downward will INCREASE your speed despite possibly riding the breaks. Basically stacking the deck against you even if you are otherwise a fully responsible driver who never goes above the speed limit.
Also the calibration on car spedometers tends to be off by up to I think 5 or so MPH either way meaning if a cop busts you for less than 10 MPH over the speed limit the judge will throw it out if you just show up at court and make this known.
I'll agree with you that speeding on residential roads, school zones and heavily populated areas is probably not the smartest thing to do but if you are out on the road where there is no heavily populated areas then keeping up with the flow of traffic is best. In Ontario if you're on a highway the flow of traffic seems to prefer 120KM/h as opposed to 100KM/h (60 MPH roughly) which is what is posted.
According to your logic, a town could pass a law saying that dress pants must be worn on Sunday with a ironed dress shirt and a tie. While passing through, I stop to get gas and I am promptly arrested.
I'd say the law is retarded and violates your right to free speech/freedom of expression and issue a constitutional challenge. Also the fact that it is on Sunday only could be construed as being a law respecting the establishment of a religion (Christian).
Is my ignorance *really* not a defense in that case? I would argue that it is.
I'd say it is. I'd also say the fact that you are not a resident of the town is a bigger defense since you are not a member of the town's community which passed the law.
If the shit hits the fan then request a trial by jury and represent yourself. Tell the jury two words 'Jury Nullification' and explain that if they think the law is unjust then they are duty bound to find you innocent regardless of what the 'law' says.
Yeah this whole vote is a mockery. I'm going to make my own International Space Station with Blackjack and Hookers... In fact, forget the International Space Station.
God I hate it when people play the race card, particularly when it IS NOT APPLICABLE. It's not a racist statement, it is a mildly protectionist statement. It's not like you're saying "Buy African-American!" which would be a racist statement.
I mean if you have the choice between Bob the guy who lives next door and works at the GM/Chrysler Plant in your area and Hop Singh in Japan who you never met... You're gonna buy the American car because you know Bob personally and know that he'll have money to pay you when you go over and fix his computer.
Really... maybe we should make it so we know your last years income too... After all it's been proven that rich people are more likely to steal as well. Just look at that Madoff guy.

It's so you can back up half your porn collection onto one disk.

It'd be easier to sue the police department make some mad $$$ and use all the mad $$$ to do the same thing.

But if they're already in your store then you cant change the terms mid meal.
Why is it so difficult for people to comprehend that if you use more, you're going to have to pay more?
Probably because people are being overcharged already.

Except like Archemedes Death Ray... The day they absolutely must have it operational the clouds will roll in.
The Vatican listed pollution as one of seven "social" sins in an effort last year to update the cardinal vices that date to the 6th century.
Naw they didnt update it. All they did was increase the scope of greed.
Simple, you're innocent. They should be destroyed because fingerprints of the guilty should only be retained.

What didn't you get the memo? Anyone who uses technology is now suspected of witchcraft. The inquisition will deal with the criminals now.

I agree, they've probably made more than $9 million price fixing.

If course, the U.S. actually has a constitution that guarantees the right of free speech and most other countries do not.
Until the president decides to invoke sovereign immunity to step on your free speech rights.
