It is the very nature of governmental secrecy to expand, reach out and try to control absolutely everything, everywhere at all times.
The solution is to allow far less secrecy in government. After all, we pay for all of the information that government possesses. That is to say that we own it but are disallowed from knowing what it is.
Florida pretty much does what you state. Generally the non compete clauses only hold water as long as the person remains employed. I do not know how a large lay off payment would effect this practice.
The general idea being that a contract must continue to benefit both parties. When the employee is no longer paid the no compete is dead.
There is a real moral issue here. Has anyone taken into account that there really are a few people who are so evil that they deserve to be hammered into the dirt by relentless, attacking speech? Causing the suicide of some people should be rewarded, not punished.
I have had great results at TigerDirect. Frankly they do a great job of delivering good products at low prices. As for customer service I've never needed any. Buy the product. Use the product. Why the heck would I need customer service anyway?
Is it too challenging for the savy to hook into MTV or online radio and simply edit out tunes in the programs that we don't like? That way you end up with the music you like without conventional file sharing at all. If one like odd music the chances are that it can be found online in a stream or even in an FM radio broadcast.
Frankly the music industry is stupid in trying to track file sharers and file sharers are also sort of dumb in that there are better ways to pirate tunes with zero risk involved.
I am not a server person. But what I do know is that you are entering a climate where plant life will try to take over every nook and cranny of any PC or electronic device. Just keeping plants from sprouting in a keyboard may involve using one of those solid, type keyboards. I suspect that you will need to clean the guts of a server every 48 hours or so.
The recording industry and the invention of the microphone really did kill off music as the world knew it. Where 100 bands existed we now have one. Where people played music in the home and invited neighbors to add more instruments we now see that as a vanished way of life. Sheet music was at the front of every store in 1900. People supported the sheet music industry so that they could play the latest tunes at home. The latest Souza march only cost a couple of pennies and you could hear these popular tunes floating out of almost every home, every day.
Progress has been the death of music. Worse yet music held neighborhoods together. Now we have violence and crime instead of families playing and singing together.
Think about the musicians. Musicians can get by just fine without any monkeys in the middle. The companies that want to be paid for "their" work are in essence scabs that ride the backs of musicians with various tactics to insure that musicians need their services.
Play it. Record it. Market it. Leave out absolutely everyone in the middle then see what income musicians can build and how cheaply tunes can be purchased. Drown the middle men.
Electronic rebellion is a bad thing when the other guy does it.
But in all seriousness the ability of any government to fight electronic crime and rebellion sound fine at first but think about it. Perhaps there will come a day when our government is not in control of the situation. Other powers may infiltrate and seize control. This happens frequently all over the world. At that time the very same tools that aid us in catching thieves online or other negative personalities such as terrorists can be used to track down loyal Americans who are doing nothing more than trying to maintain liberty and our form of government. We need to have a really hard think about allowing governments to possess such spying tools.
I also wonder if the browser creators are in on creating the vulnerabilities that the FBI uses for their exploits.
It is a thinly disguised effort to end e-commerce. After all, who wants to pay shipping and taxes on a product? This would allow brick and mortar stars a price edge and force net sales into the toilet.
I'm not so certain that this mental health stuff is something a person should want. Have you taken a peek at the upper crust lately? How about congress? What is the mental health status of our average governmental or corporate leader? How about the mental health status of sports heroes or movie or music stars? If getting mentally healthy means being like most of these folks I think I'd rather be drifty. Anchors away!
I wouldn't look down on Kentucky and its rural neighborhoods. I may be the only man in America that has ever been known to call a realtor and ask about buying land like Hell's half acre or Tobacco Road sites. Frankly I like barefoot young women wandering through my yard and having a few chickens of my own seems like a great idea as well. Who knows? Maybe i could catch myself a young Dolly Parton or Daisie May.
I would not assume that they are not planing to use roof tops for solar collection. I suspect that it will look something like a condo type city as we already have a few condo communities the size of cities. Simply adding business spaces into the condominiums is enough to provide employment and you can bet it will be a community largely for retired seniors. Of course the hitch might be if any voting is involved. Then it will take forever to get the ballots right and figure out who cheated just like it did when Bush took office.
Cry me a river Sophie! There is quite a chance that the national debt will mean nothing at all to any of us or our grand children. This is the old right wing scare tactic and nothing more.
Companies dump debts constantly. It isn't as big a problem as the common man thinks. One way is to set up a shell company and sell bad paper to the shell company and then bankrupt the shell company. Just like a bad charge card debt for $10,000 is sold to a collection company for $5. and then the charge card folks turn about and claim a loss of $9995 on the account for tax purposes. Often the tax deduction is worth more than the $10,000 would ever be in the first place and it gives the charge card companies ammunition when the appear before co0ngress concerning sky high interest rates.
In other words in the big end of the pond bad paper is often worth its weight in gold. I suspect that the US government can play a harder ball game than Master Charge don't you?
What would really be a shame is that O.J. might be totally innocent. Being a self made black man and having done every thing that society can ask of a man to reach the top and then being cast down as some sort of evil demon could be cruel beyond imagination.
I did notice that after his long jail stay while on trial that his mental state was altered. The shock of the situation may well have bent his mind. His current, Nevada conviction, was a travesty of justice. I hope he wins on appeal.
There also remains the possibility that the mechanism for being found not guilty was designed way in advance in such a way that his conviction would be certainly vacated. Lawyers can design interesting plots if the money is right.
It seems to me that the gimmick of asking for a bill just might provide a legal excuse for circumventing reporting the gift. If he did not suppose it to be a gift but simply a transaction not yet complete then why would he report it? I could see a conviction if the gift went unreported for several years and it was obvious that it was truly a gift.

Transparency inspires confidence. Secrecy inspires revolutions.
Your reply was well thought out. Enjoyment means a lot.

I hope that Pirate Bay prevails and that nobody suffers from this verdict. It may be time to fight back hard.

Cultural estrangement sounds like a great idea for most of the squirming pile of humanity.

The depth of human stupidity is unlimited. Often security guards are living proof of that fact.

Florida has a pot load of homes with Chinese drywall that is a curse from hell. Getting rid of this stuff involves a rework of the entire mansion.
Only if it produces lobster or King crabs.

One great thing was a 16 year old Diana Lee Pepe. The other was a good cup of coffee. Living without one is as bad as living without the other.
