Boy, have they got that right. And the worst thing about it is having to break through the crust when you've just finished a nice run of avoiding tedium.
One puzzle is why health care workers are so bad at it. Among the explanations studies have offered are complaints about dry skin, the pressures of an emergency environment, the tedium of hand washing and resistance to authority (doctors, who have the most authority, tend to be the most resistant, studies have found).
But... hang on a bit... how come 20 years ago this wasn't an issue?
actually, it's more than that: they can show that the drives are his _and_ that the drives contain illegal material. In other words, he's already been incriminated, and ordering him to give up the keys isn't considered to be "incriminating himself" anymore.
Isn't it funny, though, that he's still not charged of anything? TFA:
Jeffrey Feldman, a software developer at Rockwell Automation, has still not been charged with any crime
Because it seems to me your central assumption is: FB did not entered in a contract with minors in Italy, because any such contract would be automatically void thus unenforceable.
Now, I don't know for sure, but what if the law says: "It is prohibited to offer a minor a binding contract without the consent of the legal guardians"? Much on the same line of: "It is illegal to hire a child" even when the child would be willing (and even when the kid's parent would approve)?
In the end, it will be judged by the fact whether FB had a certain duty, and they failed at that duty. I suspect FB has no duty to watch users' videos.
It seems that for FB to operate in Italy, it must not allow underage entering in a binding contract without the accept of the parents - I suspect Italy is not the odd one out in this regards.
With regard to the contract, I am not sure if there was a contract.
IANAL: a "Term of Services" seems to be a binding contract of the adhesion kind: if you break it, the owner of a site is entitled to sue you in civil courts, isn't it? Some countries even criminalize some kinds of such contract breaches (i.e. makes some of them felonies, not only making liable the perpetrator to damages in civil courts)... even letting the "Lulsec" and other such cases, at least this is how I read the Aaron Swartz story.
If this is the case (the company can sue you over ToS breaches), why the same ToS can't be used for someone to sue the company?
'Italian law forbids minors under 18 signing contracts, yet Facebook is effectively entering into a contract with minors regarding their privacy, without their parents knowing.''
how is facebook allowing this? did facebook buy the people internet connections? did facebook force her to sign up? did facebook force her to get hammered and act a fool?
Since the base of the suit is: "FB entered into a contract with minors", here are some choices:
1. Assuming FB maintains their ToS (which acts as a binding contract), it should avoid entering in contract with minors. Question: how are others (e.g. porn sites) making sure underage persons don't have access?
2. Assuming FB drops their ToS, thus no binding contract whatsoever, minors or not. Question: should FB still be allowed to operate?
Can you see other solutions allowing FB to operate under legislation forbidding the binding contracts with minors?
Our government is terrible everything. They could have at least pulled a torrent [deleted], had the file labelled "F35 best plane ever", and leak the actual design.
No, the joke is on US jobs... the Chinese didn't steal them, they were leaked... it was the first step in outsourcing in the military industrial complex. You see, since sequester, the US govt doesn't pay enough for them to maintain the same level of profit, thus they need to cut the costs.
If they're going to need to make up words to cover words like computer and droid, it sounds like they're doing the opposite.
I don't think so... their culture managed to resist somehow the contact with palefaces, firewater and fire horse. No wonder the R2D2 is translated as "the short metal thing that's alive" - listen at about 2'30".
Back when most people on the internet were still computer literate, a report like this would explain how the attack happened, how it was discovered, and other interesting/important details
Ahh... those were the days when men were men and wrote their own drivers!:)
Although Chinese stuff seems to be pervasive - these are mostly low value consumer goods.
Well, I full-heartily agree with this. But again... I'm not an iPhone/iPad "Made in China" owner, so I don't mind them being called "cheap consumer goods"
Maybe the correct answer would be "Let's secure our shit". Highly likely to be a lot cheaper.
Or is it a great test of disinformation?
It may well be so. However, the target of disinformation may be the Australian tax payer... it really strikes me as unusual that this comes a short time after the Ozzie spooks cried for more money and in the conditions of serious budget blowouts for the ASIO's new building.
Maybe that's about another project budget overblow and this is an arranged cover-up? Nah, that's paranoia... the Ozzie spies are fairdinkum blokes and highly professional.
Maybe the answer is to say "stop carrying out cyber attacks on western nations, stop stealing western intellectual property etc or we will enforce sanctions against Chinese products"
Plenty of other countries with low cost base for manufacturers to move to (countries that aren't stealing western IP and government/military secrets)
Maybe the correct answer would be "Let's secure our shit". Highly likely to be a lot cheaper.
Let's put the things in perspective: - the cost of ASIO's new building between 2007-2012: $631 mils (after 37% budget blow-out - and it's not completed yet). - the Australia-China bilateral trade value for a single FY (2011-2012): $121.1 billion, Australia's exports to China of over $60 billion.

I only wish it could be a creosote crust.

Not for an opinion, explicitly stated as such.

FTFY. This move will certainly cripple any enemy.
The designs are in English.

If that's what's required to keep Jar Jar Binks quiet then it's fine by me.
On the plus side, Wookiee language would be as expressive in Navajo as it is in English.
Keeping their spoken language alive - before one runs, one has to learn walking.
No need of Tor/VPN after hacking into a pirated WinXP located somewhere in China.

Now, PETA, sue me over my opinion.
Until China starts to face real responses?
Pray tell: what exactly real responses would you suggest?
Is it the same agency that wants more money?
It was pretty watery and had just enough alcohol to kill much of the bacteria. ... You probably wouldn't touch the stuff.
I still can't believe Budweiser as that old.
Seems like there's a bit more to the story. The current grave may not be the original one.
