You people are so insanely focused on privacy rights that you can't see there is no violation here.
IF you are surfing forums known to contain child pornography.... AND IF you click on a link suggesting that behind the link is child pornography... THEN I think there is probable cause to believe you are filthy scum and should be investigated further.
Could it be someone else was using your computer? Absolutely. Could it be that you accidently ended up in the forum and pre-fetched the links? Absolutely not. You were browsing the forum.
But there is definitely probable cause. And if they find child porn in your house, you should be locked in jail for a very, very, very long time. And if they don't find any child porn and there is any reason to believe someone else used your wireless/someone else used your computer/..., they should apologize and move on.
We aren't talking about some fuzzy borderline situation where an accidental click and prefetching could have done him in. We are talking about a guy who: a) Was surfing a forum with child porn b) Clicked on links to download child porn c) Had child porn on his computer d) Tried to destroy his hard drives and USB drives before the FBI could get to them.
This guy was obviously surfing for child porn and should be in jail a lot longer than he is likely to be in jail.
When people delete everything you contribute because it does not match their sensibilities, it kinda makes a mockery of the whole "contribute" mantra.
I had articles on mudding deleted because they could find no modern articles on the subjects. Mudding, of course, comes from an era that predates the modern Internet and most aspects of its notability are covered in USENET from a decade or two ago.
iTunes provides the liner notes and album artwork as a PDF with many artists (my guess is, the ones who care). Ground Zero was released with a nice PDF.
Any possible legal system requires knowledge of the law to properly make legal arguments. That would be lawyers.
This guy got lucky because his opponent was such a complete idiot. If the opponent had anything resembling the ability to create doubt, this case would have been less and cut and dry and would have drained years of his life.
The reason he left money on the table was because he did not understand what the law entitled him to and what it did not entitle him to.
$19K is a terrible amount of money when you compare the cost this one "customer" represents compared to others. In short, he lost a lot of money on this deal.
The only similarity is the choice of the handheld, first-person point of view. Beyond that, they share nothing in common.
Most important is the fact that Cloverfield is directed, and directed brilliantly. Blair Witch was just a bunch of shakey cameras as a gimmick. The first person point of view is critical to this movie. It truly puts you into the scene and leverages everything about the one camera point of view, both in terms of what you do see and don't see. And, in spite of the first-person point of view, every shot is meticulously constructed. There is one amazing camera shot in the subway in which Hud has a close-up on Madelene with Rob and his brother's girlfriend in the background. Amazing shot.
It's a really, really, really good movie. Best I have seen in a while.
And for those who hate the ending, it really could not have ended any other way.
Would you like to work in a company that pays you a little more than competition, but it's a nightmare to work there? Or would you instead want to work in a company where there is normal pay, but you have parties?
This is a false dichotomy.
Parties don't make a company that is otherwise a nightmare to work for suddenly a great place to work.
Similarly, a lack of parties do not turn an enjoyable place to work into a nightmare.
Parties have basically nothing to do with whether a work environment is enjoyable.
And you can have parties without having million dollar parties at 4 and 5 star resorts.
And you can do it on someone's dime other than the US taxpayer's dime
* They are not a private company spending their own dollars; they are a government organization spending taxpayer money. * Most organizations, public or private, don't send people to 4-star resorts for a week, all expenses paid. * They have done nothing with manned spaceflight in the last 30 years, achieving only low earth orbit.

I have donated money on a few occasions to the Obama campaign, and I too am horribly upset with his FISA cave-in.
While there is no way in hell I will vote for McCain, Obama is now certain not to receive any further money from me.
Name one concrete barrier to real intelligence represented by FISA.
The only reason to fear FISA is because you fear that your surveillance is without merit.
People who like to credit Stallman for Linux were obviously not around in the early 90's.
Years passed, Stallman pontificated, Hurd never showed up.
Linux came and made things happen.
Wow! He has quotes!

Free software existed fine without RMS.
If RMS is high on your list of respected people, you have never actually listened to what he says.
That says something about you, not the candidates.
He received money therefore he is in corporate pockets?
Look at his voting record and correlate it to donors.
People need donors to be elected to anything.
Do you have evidence for Obama being in corporate pockets? Or are you just parroting the Green and Libertarian lines?
I think you are just parroting.
Yes, it could be.
Probable cause does not require "beyond a reasonable doubt". Probable cause means, "Do I have reason to believe that this person committed a crime?"
In this case, it is definitely yes.

Sorry, no, he was a fool.
If he had had a lawyer, he would have:
a) Been awarded a lot more money
b) Stuck the defendants with attorney's fees

People from NASA go to conferences and on business trips as well.
That's not what we are talking about.
We are talking about a party.
And you can take offense all you like. Your appreciation comes in the form of your paycheck.

This is bullshit.

If you have HIPAA requirements, you use an SaaS vendor that is HIPAA compliant.
IT gets in the way of business much more often than it helps.
About your exact costs, because suddenly salary costs become highly variable...
About your administrative costs, because keeping track of lots of overtime hours costs a lot...
Push for this change.
Seriously, just the uncertainty associated with this alone is enough to alter an employer's hiring patterns.
String theory should be discarded. It's a fanciful religion that explains nothing, but creates a lot of stuff that needs explaining.
