Depends on if you were open and forthright in how your money making scheme operated and also if you were taking money from investors from out of state. If you were taking out of state money then it probably is covered by the interstate commerce clause. If you weren't truthful in how your investment worked then you are covered by local fraud laws. If you weren't truthful in how your investment work and took money from people outside of your state then you are covered by the interstate wire fraud laws.
The correct question you should be asking is what level of government should be prosecuting you as just about everyone agrees that fraud should be illegal.
Sounds like you were trying to be funny but this is actually exactly justification used. It affects the interstate market for said item and because it affects a market that crosses state or international boundaries the federal government can regulate it.
Like fireworks here in Minnesota. The good ones are illegal but there are shops lining the major roads just across the border in South Dakota and Wisconsin who are more than willing to sell you the good ones. Just be careful near the 4th of July as state troopers will watch you make your purchase and search your stuff when you cross the border. I had it happen to me once but I only buy the Minnesota legal ones near the 4th (I buy the rest earlier in the year) as the Wisconsin shops sells better Minnesota legal fireworks than most stands do in Minnesota.
Not even then. That intrastate commerce would have an effect on interstate commerce and thus can be regulated by the feds. Or that is how it was explained to me and seems to be supported by the Wickard v. Filburn case which said that the federal government can regulate wheat you grow on your own property for your own consumption because it will have an effect on the interstate wheat market.
Like it or not the commerce clause is the hammer that makes every problem look like a nail. If it affects interstate commerce (legal or illegal) the feds can regulate it. This is also one of the arguments with the individual mandate of Obamacare with the other being are the fines for not having insurance really a tax or not.
I taught my grandmother how to secure her computer using these technologies since she had heard only about how people can get your personal information off of a computer. So i guess she might now be a terrorists. God forbid we fear the 91 year old grandma.
Yet my RFID enabled work badge seems to work within a 2-3 inches (5-8 cm for the rest of you) of the reader, now in a crowded elevator that would easily within range.
I have had issues with ignition coils on BMWs as well. It seems that the insulation on them isn't as durable as it should be so when it gets a bit humid or damp they develop an intermittent misfire. It seems that the aftermarket coil packs (not Bosch) have better insulation and resolve the problem. I had a 96 318ti and now have a 97 540i and those throw a code as soon as something might be out of spec but your 95 is probably still OBD 1 or 1.5 so substantially fewer codes.
I smell a legal argument here. One could argue that you chose to not run their software and since you aren't running their software you are no longer bound to the EULA for that software. Any real lawyers know if this plausible and valid as I would have thought this would have been a logically correct argument?
Not that I know for sure of but it wouldn't surprise me as they are know for finding ways to get out of warranty repairs and being as dodgy as possible about it. I wonder what will happen here shortly in Minnesota with our 20% ethanol requirement that starts in 2013 since all of them have claimed that it is unapproved fuel for non flex fuel vehicles and will not cover fuel related warranty problems. So basically anything that fails that the fuel or exhaust touches won't be covered.
No they won't crush it because it is tricked out too much or it's faster than theirs, but because it violates laws or you were being an idiot. Like street racing, have those stupid ground effect lights, having tires that stick out of the wheel wells, installing a gigantic fart pipe, peeling out, turning it into a pollution factory, or driving like a retard.
It is actually an 8 year 80,000 mile warranty for certain emission related parts while others are covered by a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty. For reference see this document from the EPA that covers the regulation.
I have used it and it does work. Even used it on vehicles that don't have an oiled air filters and it has spared me the cost of a replacement MAF sensor. My wife has a 2000 VW Jetta and it was throwing a code that indicated that MAF might be out of spec. I hosed the MAF sensor down with the CRC MAF cleaner, cleared the code, and haven't seen it pop back up in the past 2 years. The car runs a bit closer to factory new now as well so the sensor was definitely out of spec. I also suggest spraying it out side as it is a rather smelly product, but not as bad a carb cleaner.

No
I go even farther and say they have shown that they are completely unqualified and incompetent for such a task.
Isn't this the same DHS that re-classed some security issues as not bugs? Don't worry I am sure they won't screw this up.

As much as I wish that that were the case the commerce clause of the constitution has been interpreted so broadly that it now means that the federal government can implement laws and regulations that might affect interstate markets. For evidence see the following:
Wickard v. Filburn case
Legality of the War on Drugs
Various aspects of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Gonzales v. Raich case

More spam from parent. Mode down.
Anyone know how to get the admins to bounce an account to mode parent into the abyss?
Sounds like they have been watching too much "Prison Break"
No, they will just hurt themselves anyway.

They may very well be, so maybe this was just a public disclosure of that.
My vote is lisp terrorists. I mean come on they treat code and data as the same, plus they use atoms in their work.
So texting is a sign then?
Sounds like a win for everyone then.

Bravo to you fine sir. I now need to find some paper towels to clean up some tea.
