Nightmare NYC cops? I'm not comfortable with such a generalization - I live near NYC myself.
I've only been pulled over once in my life. It was going into the queens midtown tunnel, aka, going from queens into manhattan. So yes, this qualifies as a NYC cop.
Going up to the toll booth, the cop was standing there, chatting up the tool booth lady. I probably should have picked another lane - you see, my registration had expired. The police officer noticed this and had me pull over. When he came up to talk to me about it, I realized I had lost my driver's license. I was flying frequently at the time, and had lost it in LGA. (I later got it mailed back to me anonymously after I had replaced it already.)
To keep this short, after explaning myself nervously, he let me go, no tickets for either my registration or lack of a license. There are some nice people out there. This counterexample to your nightmare NYC cops certainly doesn't mean there aren't nightmare NYC cops - there probably are. We just shouldn't lump all the people in any large organization into a single sterotype. There are good and bad - I tend to think there are more good cops than bad, but I'm not about to argue over the exact percentages. I haven't seen this site that was pulled down, but if it gave people an honest way to handle bad cops while not generalizing to every cop in the world, it was probably doing much more good than it was doing harm. People need to take things they read online with a bit of skepticism, and I think anyone reading a site like RateMyCop would realize that the people writing the reviews may have a rather large bias.
This strikes me as basically being the same as a lot of user-uploaded photo sites. You can designate an album as private, and then people can't browse through it picture by picture. But if you send a direct link to the picture, it will be displayed.
The user expects these photos to be private. If you ran a intelligent dictionary attack against them (If photo "a1" exists, guessing "a2" isn't too hard) they'd probably be quite upset. I'd consider this to be immoral, certainly.
Poor security doesn't make it right. Now, if I was them, I'd concern myself much more with simply -fixing- the problem, but that rarely seems to happen. They have a professional, commercial site, they should be able to fix this quickly. So quickly that there wouldn't be a point to going after this guy, because it would be closed in 1-2 weeks. If it takes any longer than that, the site was poorly done in the first place.
If one lives in Germany, and reads this tag, does Germany become infinitely free via recursion?
Quick, we need an Americaismorefreethanus tag immediately - or just save time and make theworldismorefreethanus instead!
You would own the copyright to those images only; they would be free to take new ones of you at any time [that you tried to cross a border].
Once they pass the law that allows them to do it for border transports, wait a few years and remove the bracketed phrase.
Well, I'd say our immigration policy is downright fascist compared to the Native American's. Not only did they let us all in, but they even sold us this spiffy little island for 24 dollars...
I just thought some special attention should be paid to his disclaimers at the end, which are priceless:
Amazon.com and Yahoo! are Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendations. Microsoft is a Motley Fool Inside Value selection. Peruse either newsletter free for 30 days without fear of lawsuits.
Alyce Lomax does not own shares of any of the companies mentioned. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy that can't be found in thiefdom.
There's holes in your EULA. If you RTA, the builders are actually sucking up to MIT and blaming the architect. So, you wouldn't want the EULA modified by the builders OR the architect, but rather by both parties (or just the architect if you happen to be Frank Gehry).

It was worth a good laugh at least ;)

I'll have no talk of slashdot bingo here unless netcraft confirms it!
Tasteless. Now if you had said:
Oblig. Southpark referenceThink he's trying to compensate for something?
You'd have been just fine. Remember, original thought is bad.-Department for the protection of yourself from you.

You're on. There's three of them, right? You take whichever one of them you want, I'll take myself and the other two. How much do I win?
