We also learned from Dotcom that whether or not you can get the feds to bankrupt your opponent out of hiring a good lawyer also has a significant influence on who will win.
The analogy is that employment contracts are biased in favor of the employer for the same reason that EULAs favor the vendor.
And for much the same reason as well, namely, a gross imbalance of power that puts them in a better bargaining position and gives them leverage to screw you over.
Employers have enough power to force employees to sign contracts as a condition of employment not unlike what you'd find in an EULA. No signature, no job.
So it doesn't really matter in the long run what laws we pass unless we make it illegal for employers to ask for certain concessions.
Meanwhile, you'd also get arrested and charged with intimidating a juror, which in my state is a class B felony and will get you at least 5 years in prison.
In fact, SCOTUS once ruled that if misconduct goes far enough, it can even nullify double jeopardy, if you cheated the system so blatantly that you were never in jeopardy to begin with.

Suppose I said that the legal process that was blatantly bypassed was designed to protect innocent bystanders?
Seeing as how computing power devoted by miners ramps up difficulty levels, won't this just create a self suppressing feedback loop?
...is getting pinched.
I know damn well what they said.
My question was if they had made a typo somewhere.
And I'm talking about TFA and not just TFS.

Are they sure that's dollars and not pesos?
There's a reason that MS markets to PHBs and not to IT ya know...
It's not hard for MS products to work better on Windows, now is it?
Especially when MS has been known to go out of their way to make things harder for competing OSes to support their products.
We got vetoed by marketing droids.
Remember that MS crapware is sold to PHBs who then force it on IT.
Just because someone else has it worse is no excuse.
All that does is lower the bar for what is proper.
Complacency and all that jazz.
Who are we talking about?
Ad hominem isn't hard logic but it makes a darn good heuristic when you realize that people have motives.

Unless it's encrypted perhaps?
That would allow a "reasonable expectation of privacy"
Isn't this USF kinda the same idea as the US Postal Service getting a monopoly on mail delivery?
The whole point is to prevent a business from milking the cheap spots and leaving the rural areas out in the cold.
Considering abusive monopoly practices I would love for the phone system to be nationalized just like the mail.
Yes it should be.

All this wrangling by apple is an attempt to take advantage of the jury's misconduct.
Whether or not the foreman could have been caught shouldn't even be relevant.
If the verdict was tainted, it should be thrown out period.
Selective prosecution is pretty handy.
What if the school keeps her out long enough to let her teachers flunk her for missing tests or homework?
Sounds like you are set.
So what if old farts get left out in the cold?
They've almost by definition had more of an opportunity to get themselves a legacy.
Giving young people a better shot is actually fairer in general because you get older as you age.
It's fine for me.
Git's source code is open and there's no DRM on top of the data storage format.
So any lock-in is completely voluntary on behalf of the user.
