Not at all. I'm not talking about pretending that you belong to IBM's Clevelant branch, I mean a little mom an pop computer store putting out the image that they are a big corporate entity
And I believe misrepresenting yourself like this may be fraud.
Pretention. You're a small company, but you can give the impression that you're a BIG company in order to make potential clients trust you with their business.
Ignoring the legal aspects of your message (IANAL), I would like to state that I, for one, do not want any "$$$" that has been pulled out of the "a$$e$" of the lawyers who sent this message. I would much prefer a check/money order/cashier's check (assuming, of course, that the checkbook is not kept in their "a$$").
This is what happens when you take a quote out of context. This is what I said:
If they do it publicly they can be sued for libel. I don't see what's wrong with falsely accusing somebody of something. And they certainly aren't perjuring themselves.
Now, what you said:
So is it OK if I come round to your town, and put up 1000 posters of your picture with the caption "Pedophile"? You'll soon discover there's plenty of harm that can come from a false accusation.
If you read the two closely you will be able to see that the situation you refer to would probably fall under the "public" provision of my statement, and if you were to create said situation, I would have grounds to sue you for libel.

Also, the submitter has two monitors. A hardware KVM is ideal when there is only one monitor, keyboard and mouse. The software solution is ideal when you have two monitors and one keyboard and mouse.
He wants to be able to move the mouse from one computer's monitor to another (like having a dual monitor setup, except with two different computers running each monitor). A hardware KVM cannot do this.
It is reasonable to compare the restrictions the NBA (or any other sports event or league) has on its players with those the Olympics has on its players.
I do not think it is reasonable to compare restrictions Gatorade has on people who have signed contracts to endorse Gatorade (and not drink Powerade or All Sport or whatever else) with the restrictions the Olympics places on athletes who merely want to compete and did not sign a contract with any specific corporation.
In short, I agree with part of your original comment, but not all of it.
[T]hey're also used to having clauses in personal endorcement deals that say they can't be seen in public consuming/using a competitor's product. If an athlete doesn't like those rules, they can just sit out.
This is a different situation--the athlete has voluntarily signed a contract to endorse one company/product in this case. The athlete did have a say in whether he wanted to do this or not.
Seriously, this was a 100% fluff article. The foundation for the article was based entirely on the assertion that a Google for "Java" brought back far fewer hits than "NET": well no shit Sherlock- perhaps if you'd tried ".NET" instead?
You'd get the same results. The '.', used in a Google search, is a shortcut for searching for a string--you can either use '"i want to find this string"' or 'i.want.to.find.this.string'. Hence, ".NET" will search for a string consisting of the word "NET" and should return the exact same results as a search for "NET".
There is essentially no learning curve for using PDFs. In MS Office (or, for that matter, any Windows application), use PDFCreator. On OS X, exporting to PDFs is a function of the operating system. In Unix/Linux, there's ps2pdf (and just about any application will print postscript to file), as well as KOffice and OpenOffice.org.
Yes, you may be a perfectly safe driver at high speeds, but what about the person who looked in your direction at the moment you were hidden behind a bush/telephone pole/etc. and who pulls out in front of you. In some cases, there is nothing you can do even going the speed limit.
In Ohio there are fixed speed limits, but the law defers to the judgement of a police officer if conditions are less than ideal. I assume most states have similar statutes.
Also, your second case is "a clear day with dry roads and unlimited visibility, with no traffic". However, you state that by doing 50 in these conditions, "you are a traffic impediment". I don't understand how you can be an impediment to other traffic if there is no other traffic.
There is no need for these cars to automatically transmit information to police. Their purpose is to provide details about an accident.
The privacy concerns for me do not include not being able to lie about an accident, but that my insurance company might be able to change my rate on the fly if they see I did something they didn't like.
I have no issue with something that doesn't transmit information.
Well IMO, when companies start claiming the rights to thoughts you have that aren't related to work you're doing for them, it's gone too far, regardless of what contract you signed.
That's why there are laws that limit the terms of such contracts.
Without reading his contract (and also due the the fact that IANAL) I cannot tell who is correct in this case. The company seems to claim the contract gives them ownership of Mr. Brown's thoughts, but I'm sure Mr. Brown is contesting that. Also, I do not know what is allowable in an employment contract in the state of Texas.
In short: don't jump to Mr. Brown's defense until you know the facts.
Patents refer to the algorithm by which something is done. I believe you are referring to copyright, which is the letter of how something is done. For copyright violations, a developer can simply look at a spec and re-implement it without looking at the original. For patent infringements, a different algorithm must be found.

The events in Mallrats take place on April 14, 1994. In Clerks, it's April 15, 1994. The others are sequels though.

Yes, I just said it was reasonable to compare the restrictions of leagues with those of the Olympics. It seems we are in agreement.

We didn't know any of those people were terrorists/assassins until they actually committed the act.
Would a terrorist profile of some sort have prevented the attacks on 9/11? Terrorists don't make themselves known before they commit their big act.
WLW would certainly not be a reason in and of itself to visit Cincinnati. Visiting anywhere in the same hemisphere would be more than adequate.
...everybody in Cincinnati (home of WLW) has recently been diagnosed with leukemia and/or cancer.

They may drive as responsibly as they tell their parents. It's not frequent, but it does happen.

Has anybody tried bochs? How does it compare to VMWare and VirtualPC?
