I've just about reached the point that Netflix, Crunchyroll, and occasionally Redbox can supply all the video I need. If I find a good streaming source for my wife's reality background-noise addiction, I'll have a case for dropping cable video...
that's the problem. Roadrunners don't get thrown, so they can't get caught this way. He should be catching Anvil, Fire, MeWhenSteppingOffCliff, and some other stuff. But for the roadrunner issue he needs to be using roadrunner.halt(). The problem, of course, is getting a handle to the roadrunner instance.
I would think opt-in would help the post office, by pushing unsolicited mail back from email to paper. Or were you assuming an opt-in approach to the post office as well?
Lady Liberty does not have a blindfold. You're thinking of Lady Justice, whose blindfold is meant to reflect objectivity and impartiality, not secrecy and lack of oversight.
May not want to make it too hard to retrieve; we might want that stuff sometime. Petroleum processing used to have a bunch of useless toxic waste products, then someone created plastic...
visual C++ express edition. Then use the result to compile the source to an ELF target. Then get on a linux box and use the ELF version to compile the source to something you're willing to install. (I'm sure there's intricacies to this that I'm not addressing, but it seems exceedingly unlikely that compiler A will have a trojan aimed at compiler B. To be really sure, I suppose you could write your own C compiler; it doesn't have to be efficient, and neither does the code it generates, just good enough to get to the next bootstrap.)
oh, mens rea has gone out the window long ago. 'Intent' has become 'knowledge that it could happen', has become 'should have known that it could happen'.
bad cop->police force and bad doctor->medicine don't seem to be directly comparable to bad DA->plea bargain. They're more like bad DA->court system. Plea bargains were intended as a bandaid for an issue. There are other ways to approach that issue.
They're not trying to attack serious pirates with this. They're trying to scare casual copiers, who they believe (correctly or not) generate orders of magnitude more "lost sales" (defined as 'person reads book without having purchased it') overall, and who are more likely to garner public sympathy (since they're typically not doing it for monetary profit).
Unfortunately, fair use is not legally a right. It is simply a defense against accusations of copyright infringement. It is not a defense against other illegal actions, like circumventing an access control system. Sad, isn't it?
I'd think that the NSA asking for the data to be sent to them would qualify as "collecting". So the question is do they send a new request every three months when their warrant renews or are the telecoms just sending it out of the goodness of their hearts at this point? (Google's statements seem to indicate the NSA is asking, but of course, everything is subject to interpretation...)
In administering the FLSA, the Department of Labor follows this judicial guidance in the case of individuals serving as unpaid volunteers in various community services. Individuals who volunteer or donate their services, usually on a part-time basis, for public service, religious or humanitarian objectives, not as employees and without contemplation of pay, are not considered employees of the religious, charitable or similar non-profit organizations that receive their service.
Seems clear to me that the DoL only considers volunteering for a non-profit to qualify.
Given that the only part of it that says "X people don't count as employees" specifies that the business must be a non-profit, it seems like the 'suffer or permit to work' clause would apply at a for-profit, and you would in fact be an employee, and thereby prohibited from being a 'volunteer'.
The kicker for this case, however, would appear to be items 3 and 4 at http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/docs/trainees.asp - if (as TFS indicates) the employer was able to avoid paying an employee because of the intern's actions, they're getting an immediate advantage and the intern is displacing an employee.
IANAL, and certainly not a labor lawyer. I may well have missed something. But the situation described does not seem to fit the legal requirements for an unpaid position.

I drop it in the outgoing mail at the office. The outgoing box at my apartment complex has been broken into before, so nobody trusts it.

Programmed by OmniCorp, I see...

of course there is. We live in it. We just don't have a solid description of it yet :)
html ate my baby! Let's try again:
IANAL, but it looks like '' would hit claims 1-2, 4-6, 8, 10-11, 13-15, and 17, so you may want to look at NCSA Mosaic.
you say that like they don't already have the ability to dismiss cases at whim.

Well, it's not like we'd trust Google any _less_...
Varies state by state. Mine required me to take off my glasses. *shrug*

Nope. But they need the subpoena to get to that stuff. My point is that what can be found on the phone is simply not trustworthy.
in fact, they should do so anyway. A lot of folks know how to clear their on-phone text/call history, after all.
I don't think he's trying to prove or disprove that, just mitigate it.
