No, in this case and your hypothetical the attorneys are at fault for not thoroughly questioning the person. A simple "yes" is a correct and adequate answer, and he offered even more information than that. If the attorneys wanted a complete list of such incidents, they should have asked for one.
This is not juror misconduct, but bad representation.
The Milgram experiment shows us not that people are inherently evil, malicious or spiteful but that in the right social context people will follow an authority figure's instructions even if it overrides their normal moral response.
What exactly is the difference? If you substitute an authority's conscience for your own, you are inherently evil. It is this reaction that is responsible for the great majority of evil in the world.
The sickest psychopath in the world is capable of killing a few dozen people on his own. But a psychopathic leader is capable of killing millions. All that extra blood isn't really on the hands of the leader, it's on the hands of those who chose to follow that leader. Those who thought obedience was the best thing. That's where true evil comes from.
I don't see how this is complicated at all. Authoritarianism is evil, and most people are authoritarians. Ergo, most people are evil.
Nowadays, Apple hardware is competitively priced, and people complain that it is made in China, and they would be willing to pay an extra X% if it were built in the US. In general, these people are naive, "Buy Made USA" campaigns have been a failure since the 80s. It doesn't motivate people to buy.
People who complain about Apple's labor practices don't do it because they want Apple to sell more hardware. They do it because paying people a living wage is the right thing to do. Nobody really cares whether computers are made in the US or china. They care that there are adequate worker protections.
Take away that completely, and you will see software and movies and entertainment fade away as they are unable to make money doing it.
Do it. If people aren't willing to fund their entertainment voluntarily, why should my tax dollars be spent forcing them? If it's not worth it to you to pay money willingly it *should* go away.
And consider the size of the entertainment industry compared to the computer industry. If we have to choose between general purpose computing, and an entertainment industry, technology clearly provides a larger chunk of our GDP. No question about it, tech is more valuable than entertainment.
And that's assuming your worst case scenario where all the artists in the world take their balls and go home. What would actually happen is people would choose to fund the things they love. Look at Kickstarter, people donate what would be the full price of a game that hasn't even been created yet. There are other ways to do this besides creating scarcity with coercion.
Copyright should be abolished. If that brings the end of the entertainment industry, that's still a net gain. But it wont, because entertainment predates copyright and it will out live copyright as well.
FYI, you are only legally required to list convictions on job applications.
Employers can ask anything they want, except if it involved membership in a protected class. You are not legally required to answer honestly, but they can fire you at any time for any dishonesty on the job application, no matter how inconsequential.
I guess one is supposed to be pro-piracy around here, but I am OK with piracy being reduced.
Where is the evidence that this will reduce piracy? Is there any evidence that such a reduction in piracy will increase sales? Is there any reason to believe that jailing your customers (pirates are your best customers) will do anything but decrease sales? Assuming it does reduce piracy and increase sales, will it do enough to offset the costs of imprisonment?
None of these questions have clear answers, and I doubt very much that any of them have even been asked by anyone in power. But these are the kinds of things we need to know before we can decide whether a law will be effective. Without such information, it is flat out wrong to support any law, even if you believe it is well meaning.
What constitutes a shortage is kind of ambiguous in a market where price adjusts to match supply and demand. If there's still bacon on the shelves and selling, but you can't afford any, is there a shortage or not?
Lucky. I can't even find country ham around here. And I'm 5 minutes from the Iowa border. You'd think every pig product possible would be available, but not really. Probably too far north.
I wouldn't call myself a bacon purist, but I would call you devoid of taste. Turkey is a good substitute for sausage, and for ground beef mixed into something else. But nothing really substitutes for the particular mix of crispy and fatty that makes bacon bacon. I even had lamb bacon and was disappointed.
Wifi encryption is useless if anyone and everyone can join the network. Once you join, it's just like being on any other shared medium network. All your packets are available in the clear. If you're worried about security, use application level encryption.
Criminal behavior by public officials anywhere in the country affects everyone. The Feds need to make an example of Arpaio, lest his corrupting influence spread.
The only 'danger' you expose yourself to by keeping an open wifi is that a moronic lawyer claims it must have been you and decides to sue you for things you didn't do.
Or if a moronic judge issues a search warrant for your home.
I will say most accounts would suggest that he married a prepubescent girl, but waited until "Aunt Flow" visited to consummate.
Until the, the Prophet had to settle for "thighing" her.
While not cool by today's standards, this was kind of how things were done 1400 years ago
Just because pedophilia was more acceptable 1400 years ago, doesn't make it not pedophilia. And this is someone people are supposed to look up to as a moral leader.
Criminalizing hate speech is an utterly unacceptable violation of our right to free speech. You're a far more dangerous person for suggesting it, than he is for exercising his freedoms. Shame on you, you are worse than Nakoula.
We're not talking about bond, we're talking about parole. And yes, murderers get released on parole just like this guy was. And when murderers violate that parole, just like this guy did, they get put back in prison, just like this guy will.

The time period is irrelevant. It was a yes or no question.

There's something about communicating with a device that ruins a lot of the non-verbal stuff we take for granted.
You can't look at her tits when you're talking to her on the phone.
And in what way are our lives better for all of that? Has there been any measurable success in any of those fields?

How about the US regulate the servers and routers that are in the US, and other countries regulate those in them?

The first thing you should print when you get a 3d printer, is another 3d printer.
Well yeah, bikes get hit by cars turning right, not so much cars turning left (or reverse in some countries).
That wasn't a problem until they installed bike lanes, legitimizing the absolutely insane practice of bicycles passing cars on the right.

Is /. telling me to switch to Linux? Because my Linux box is downstairs, and I'm lazy.
Stairs are no match for SSH.
How long until the textbook industry sues California for unfair competition?
Fuck.
It's not. People blew that way out of proportion. Transmissions on public spectrum can be recieved by anyone. People need to deal with it.
