I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice. If you need legal advice, the attorney in this story might be a good choice . . . (but I cannot endorse him).
This, in a nutshell, is why lawyer's represent guilty scum.

Personally, I'm skeptical about the idea of malware that secretly downloads and hides kiddie porn--why would the malware developer do that? I really can't fault the emploeyr for not considering such an idea and investigating it.
The defense attorney, though, is to advocate for his client, even if the client claims seem far-fetched.
That depends on the bean and the roast--for some beans, french press is better, and for others, a vacuum pot is better.
The vac pot is also cooler:)
It near-boils the water in the lower chamber, forcing it by the vapor pressure to the upper. Heat is then removed, and the coffee comes back down. This just about guarantees the 200F optimal water temperature rather than boiling.

In the early '80s, there wasn't another practical way to send those files around. The include files at the time, though, were text files, rather than pictures. using include or some such allowed an exact copy of the file at the other end for diff purposes.
Sure, in the same sense that "technically" he's not required to let their space aliens eat him--as a private entity, the theater generally cannot obtain a warrant.

A theater is not a government, the search warrant nonsense is just that, nonsense.
He wouldn't have a leg to stand on in a court challenge, either.
In fact, if there were a clearly posted "no outside food or beverages" sign along with another about "backpacks subject to search," he would have no entitlement to a refund when he refused to comply with the terms.
If he were to take this to court, he would either be representing himself or using a lawyer so incompetent that imminent disbarment would be a serious concern. If it actually came in front of a judge, he would likely be sanctioned for the frivolity of his claims--judges aren't appreciative over their time being taken over nut-job cases over $10 . . .

There was a time, though, that the transmission of binaries was important.
Significant amount of the GNU utilities (oops, should that be the BSD/GNU utilities?:), and, more importantly, nethack were developed by distributing the source files and patches on usesnet. (OK, these binaries were text files, but the point remains).

Nope. It used to be common for the legislatures to appoint electors.
For that matter, it's not the state, but the legislature that has the power.

Daddy hippo weighs a time and a half as much as Mommy.
How much does Mommy hippo weigh? :)
