  1. Re:27,345,357 unique messages from E360 blocked on Judges Berate Spammer For 'Incompetent' Litigation · · Score: 1

    No not because they put in random words to bypass filters (which is a violation of CFAA and California Penal Code Section 502), but because they are unsolicited.

    Just because someone buys a list with your name on it does not mean that they have permission.

  2. This was a default judgment. on Judges Berate Spammer For 'Incompetent' Litigation · · Score: 1

    You have to keep in mind, this was admitted by their withdrawing the answer and accepting a default judgment.

  3. This is the sign things are not going your way. on Judges Berate Spammer For 'Incompetent' Litigation · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I listened to the oral arguments with joy, The oral arguments reminded me of the ruling in e360 v. Comcast, where it started with, "Plaintiff e360Insight, LLC is a marketer. It refers to itself as an Internet marketing company. Some, perhaps even a majority of people in this country, would call it a spammer. "

    But, what is interesting is the e360Insight, LLC, v. ChoicePoint Precision Marketing, LLC case. He sued them for providing them e-mail addresses for Ferguson, Ferron , and myself. Linhardt claimed he "licensed" our e-mail addresses from Choicepoint. However, Linhardt swore under oath (claimed in the case of Ferguson) with that Ferguson, Ferron, and I signed up with their partner. I am thinking that might apply in any further proceedings, if there are any.

    If you put it into the fixture, you can't have the CIA/FBI/MPAA/RIAA swapping bulbs out and being able to directly access the bulbs for bugging purposes.

    How will I play practical jokes by swapping out a bulb on someone and then playing with their light from my computer?

  6. In ten years. on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    Ten years from now we will have a push to IPv8 addresses as there will be a shortage of IPv6 addresses.

    Everyone will want an IPv6 address for the lights on their Christmas trees and house displays.

  8. Re:I have old stuff that works. on Voyager Set To Enter Interstellar Space · · Score: 1

    For the camera nothing. My grandfather bought it from a PX in the early 60s. He also bought a Roliflex 2.8C sometimes in the 50s which I had into the 70s, when it was stolen.

    For the microwave, I think it was about $289 including tax.

    I still use the microwave I bought in 1985.

    I had a Zeis Ikon Cotraflex Super B which was over 35 years old, and still working, when I sold it.

    It is a shame that programmers and engineers do not design and code their products so that they will be reliable.

    When I went to school, we had a dead sun, and boy it was cold. My brother and I had to share the fingers to count on.

  16. Amen! on China Calls Out US On Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Many Americans will not pay attention to issues until they are directly affected, or "I have nothing to hide" until it directly affects them.

    They forget their history.

    First they came for the communists,

    Then they came for the trade unionists,

    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for me

    Bill Gates can't be bad. He created and sold us Bob and Windows Me. He only wanted everyone to have computers that are reliable and easy to use.

  21. Re:I have been following this issue for years. on Should Smartphones Be Allowed In Court? · · Score: 1

    Having a schedule on a computer and phone is so much better.

    It lets others check your schedule, or schedule with you. With scheduling software, you can select the people to invite and then have the computer identify when everyone is available. Not make the appointment and then spend 4 days figuring out the best time.

  22. I have been following this issue for years. on Should Smartphones Be Allowed In Court? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a friend who practiced in the U.S. District Court in Mass. Early on he had a Windows Mobile phone, which of course he kept his schedule. When the Court was banning cell phones, he would have to get permission from the court so that he could check his schedule on his phone, as did opposing counsel.

    In Los Angeles, they would ban cell phones with cameras for a while, for non-attorneys. This was stopped between 2008 and 2010. I suspect that since most people have their schedules on their phones, it would make it very hard to schedule any proceedings if phones were banned.

    As far as jurors, there must be some restriction on information access/communications during the period that they are on a jury (as opposed to being in the pool). Not only so that they are untainted, but also so they are undistracted.

    Camera Phones don't take pictures, people take pictures.
