Technically theres this thing called 'Fair Use' which the NFL cant take away from you even though they try to make you think that they can. It's also what enables news media to report on the game without having their consent. You can use like 30 second clips and stuff as you please to make your own highlight reels.
And you know I'd get a bunch of people organized and protest infront of the theater that did it and start driving business away from them. See how they like that.
I'm sure they could. However, I believe that those cases were CIVIL cases where the burden of proof is much lower 'Preponderance of the Evidence' or to put it more succinctly 50%+1 level of being sure. Also in Civil cases you typically dont deal with warrants but supeonas which means the defendant has a chance to tamper with things.
In a criminal investigation the burden of proof is 'Beyond a reasonable doubt' or effectively 99% sure. They also deal with warrants which is the cops busting down your door and taking whatever is listed in the warrant not giving the defendant a chance to tamper with things.
So in a criminal case all you need to do is bring 'reasonable doubt' into the case. How often do people have to reinstall windows? Has spyware, viruses or malware been known to do this as well? Etc... If you want a slam dunk on a destroyed hard drive just ask the FBI, CIA or NSA guy they had do the forensics on the prosecutions side what the standard procedure for decommissioning hard drives with classified data is? (HINT: It involves an industrial shredder and melting the result into slag or something crazy like that). In these days of Identity Theft it could be reasonable to take such measures to ensure that your data would be unreadable such as taking magnets to it and/or using a drill press to break the platters or what not. After all it's starting to get to the point where most people are willing to give everything but the hard drive away when they sell one or donate a computer to charity.
To me I would say it would be fair if some of these were met.
1) The pay for the 40 hours is incredibly high. 2) When called in during 'on call' you get overtime pay. Or negotiate for overtime pay during certain hours (IE. your normal sleeping hours).
I think it is safe to say that paying someone for 24/7 on-call (168 hours a week) is a bit ridiculous when alot of those hours will be spent doing things not related to work. However, there should be adequate compensation available for then they are called.
Easy to tell the difference. Real Fishermen wont move towards the BIG HONKING CARGOSHIP and wave AK-47's around while firing in the air or other stupid shit like that. They usually give such ships wide berth because it can sink them if they dont see their ship.
Yep I suppose we're gonna get a whole bunch of these 'Counterfeit Goods' stories hitting the media in the next year or so to make people think we absolutely positively must pass the ACTA treaty the RIAA/MPAA have been working on in secret.
Well if it was done from an unsecured access point with spoofed MAC address delivered from an expendable (and cheap like $300) laptop computer AND the guy never brags about it. The chances of catching the guy are slim to none.
Except that the Hunchback of Notre Dame was published in 1831 making it firmly public domain. Also they could have already paid Disney. I mean look at Shrek he's out there pimping toothpaste and vehicles.
Exactly... and even if China is say one or two steps behind they have more than enough population to afford a conventional war even with the US. Why do you think the US dicks around in Afghanistan, Iraq and crap instead of say Iran (a more credible threat than Iraq ever was and supposedly working on nukes), Pakistan (having their own Al Quada problems now but they have nukes!), and North Korea (their leader is a nutjob)
Exactly... Except in this case the ignorance is on the part of the State. Provided that the person in question supplied a valid change of address to the state and/or postal service it should logically stand that the person is not responsible as they have already performed their due diligence.
Actually the summary specifically says citrus scents... Presumably they were using a citrus smelling windex rather thanthe plain old blue nasty smelling stuff.
Well if they're close... Why don't they use multiple different versions of algae that have high yields... Use local ones if possible so escape/contamination is a non-issue.
Wow I didnt know Linux's market share jumped to 41% (Because you know like myself if you're not running Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or a bunch of BSA members suites of software clearly you must be pirating it). You know their methods, Guilty until proven innocent.
I say exclude them for a month and let them bitch about it... Either they'll come crawling on hands and knees or the web will be a better place without FOX News crap easy to find.
Slashdot Mirror
Give me a TV that goes blank screen when Ad's come up... Something like Ad Block Plus for TVs.
Dont worry, its fine. They're all owned by the same parent companies anyways.
I'm still trying to find intelligent life on Earth, if these Aliens can find some I'd appreciate them contacting me.
It could all be solved by teaching the patent examiners HOW TO GOOGLE SHIT.
Parent is on topic, all this is just to stop little billy from hearing someone drop an F-bomb... A daily occurance in most parts of the country
Ok Miss Teenager... Dont you dare figure out how to break the speed of light! I'm warning you. Dont do it. It's a law of physics.

Yes but if you're hauling golf balls then it's a totally awesome option.

Heck, in Texas it's illegal to walk around with a pair of wire cutters in your back pocket
No you carry them in your front pocket... but I agree the idea of criminalizing the tools themselves is stupid.

Dont forget the WAR ON TERROR!
Yeah too bad it wasnt ACTA Treaty that was leaked.

Freedom of Speech... Just Bring all these news articles in and ask why he'd sue you if they were just doing as asked ;)

Oh and by the way I've worked both at kindergardens and elderly homes when I was younger, and I've had to clean up more shit than you'd even imagine
But you still got a long way to go before you beat Mike Rowe.
