What if the guy in the car was using the AP *thinking* he was stealing service when in reality, the owner didn't care and left it open on purpose and had known other people had used it?
Sounds to me like the case of attempted murder where person A and shoots person B plainly trying to kill him. But in fact person B was already dead.
You cannot steal that which was freely given even if you thought you were stealing it. You cannot murder one who is already dead.
>>For right now, you have no access to the beta until I can find the Richard who posted the WHS (Windows Home Server) CTP on this site...
all beta testers for WHS should maintain solidarity with the N-1 wrongfully (and stupidly) abused "Richard" testers and tell MS: For right now, you have no beta program for WHS until you stop being dicks with your Dicks.
Um I thought the RIAA voluntarily dismissed their case -before- this letter was sent (only hours before). Thus the letter was not the cause for the dimissal
"a man's freedom" exists in time. So when you ask whether "a man's freedom" is worth something else, you have to indicate time. Is one day of a man's freedom worth leading a huge piracy operation? Perhaps.
but while you're at work it's not your time and resources to speak your mind with. You're oppressed at work? Leave. If you can't leave for whatever reason or aren't oppressed 'enough' and don't care to be climbing the 'ladder' at your present point in life, give them their 8 hours/day and go the fuck home to your family where everything matters.
maybe vista's moving target is a legit culprit. regardless, looks to me like nvidia f-d up on this. They're going to be in a world of blog-o-hurt over this and will end up being forced to do doing what they should've done in the first place: stop playing Stalin with their message board, quickly refund people's money, personally call people who are pissed, and swing people back to saying, "yeah it's in beta, but they're being cool about it, if it doesn't work for you they'll take care of you. lookie, they took care of me..."
>> perhaps you should consider that litigation is an extremely complex, difficult and time consuming activity requiring a very high level of expertise to conduct with any degree of competence.
please. so is engineering. yet engineers don't charge their clients 300$/hr. Yeah, maybe an engineer at IBM is billed out to other large corps at near that much. But an individual engineer working face to face with an individual client damn sure doesn't ask 300$/hr. Yet I've sat personally with lawyers and been told effectively "you must personally pay me 300$/hr".
>> The lawyers didn't create your dispute. You and the other litigant did.
That's it. Screw the "I went to school, and gosh, lawyering is 'hard work'" theme. The fact is you have a client who's in trouble and has no choice but to pay up.
So add #7 to the list tongue in cheek...
7. act politically to get LOTS of lawyers to come to the US on H1B visas and make lawyering charges roughly similar to other professions with the equivalent of a masters degree: 50$/hr give or take.
What about a server that implements a whitelist that only allows emails that have a "From" or "Sender" etc header with an email address that the individual user it is destined for has allowed through?
Many big domains/mailists use SPF, which would prevent spoofing a "from" from them. And because the whiltelist is specific to each user, spammers may get lucky and spoof a few whitelisted "froms", but not on a mass scale.
For a new user to send email to a whitelisting user, the server could auto-reply with a link telling the user to prove he's human. For maillists/newsletters, the user would have to whitelist them explicitly
"controversy" or not. I LOVE the personal attack rule:
wikiped
The "personal attack" rule was pertinent whenever a person or small group was subject to a character attack during a broadcast. Stations had to notify such persons or groups within a week of the attack, send them transcripts of what was said, and offer the opportunity to respond on the air.
It sounded nice to hear Joel debunk the agile anecdote as anti-agile and then offer his own real world example.
Problem is his example leave his own "agile" slip showing a bit. His example is as follows:
MS released IE7 This broke a proxy server DLL thingy Which in turn broke their own Copilot app for a few customers Which meant he had to divert Ben from a 2 week release, fix the problem, patch the server and delay the release And this interruption of their agile development was the right decision because it served the customer better
Setting aside the issue of an individual programmer (Ben) deploying fixes straight to production, here's the thing Agile-Ben should have asked: "how the hell did we let the big IE7 release come along, hoze some of our users, interrupt me and probably cause the next release to be delayed?"
Assuming it wasn't part of Ben's agile programming job to regression test and qualify major platform changes for released products, Ben should be saying, "screw this 'it was the right decision to interrupt you' idea. We shouldn't be in the this place to begin with."
DAMMIT! I right click this topic, miss open in new tab and hit open new window and it piss off me. smash keyboard and laptop reboot. i'm SO PISSED OFF. What was this article about anway damoit??
I don't think the analysts should mitigate their concern for anything, after the EC stamps a rubber hoze on this beech it has to be forgotten that the misery they're in can not lessen to the misery they give.
Original question ----------------- If you are completely guilty and are sued, but do not have the money to pay, what are your options?
Beckerman answer ---------------- One option is to defend yourself, relying on the affirmative defenses. If you can find a pro bono lawyer, great. If not, go in to the pro se clerk at the courthouse and ask for a jury trial. Another option, if it's acceptable to you, is to default. They will usually get a default judgment against you for the exhibit A list (the songs they downloaded) x $750 plus court costs.
My observation -------------- As a non-lawyer, it's clear to me in the question that "do not have the money to pay" is referring to the amount you're being sued for or -maybe- the amount you're being sued for plus your lawyer fees. (some of the amounts we've heard in the press translate to your life is ruined for downloading a few albums). Yet Beckerman's answer goes straight to his fees only. And the second part of his answer basically boils down to "if you can't pay, your other option is to pay."
Follow on question ------------------ Are most lawyers similarly disconnected from the concerns of their music loving clients whose lives are being squashed by greedy monopolistic conglomerates?
I actually meant to say if he loved what he did less and his kids more. Meaning step back a little. Remember those little faces. And don't be as fearless as you were 10 years ago. I have 4 kids and find myself doing even routine stuff in a safer way, like driving. There are ways for wild souls to settle down some when they have kids without giving up what they do. I suspect he didn't. And I bet he was out there swimming around sting rays, tried to do another fool thing maybe grabbed a ray or something thinking he could dodge the stinger or it wouldn't sting if he touched it a certain way, and wouldn't you know it got stuck dead in the chest and killed by a goddamn fish. In any case and maybe this is the crux for me and my childful self, when I saw him with the baby and that crock, that kicked him down a few notches for me.
