    Really? The only thing stopping you was your fear of going to jail? So you have no moral compass and you base all your moral decisions based on fear of punishment? You're religious aren't you? Most likely christian. They love that whole morality through fear thing.

    We have been getting them for years, We don;t allow anyone in the company to make transfer requests via email, Problem solved.

  3. If the sovereign nation did not want the benefits of the single European economy, then that sovereign nation should not have joined. Membership has privileges but it also has responsibilities.

  4. And pay the FCC a hefty fine for intentionally causing signal interference on frequencies you are not licensed to use, or even if they are in the unlicensed frequencies it is illegal to intentionally interfere with others use.

  5. It's been done, it is also extremely illegal

  6. So what your saying is drone only means an unmanned flying vehicle.

    I disagree. http://electronics360.globalsp...

  7. That makes every remote controlled aircraft a drone, it also removes any non flying vehicle from being called a drone, yet we have under water drones (http://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/6756/six-underwater-drones-making-a-technology-splash) we have wheeled drones (http://weburbanist.com/2015/11/19/robotic-delivery-6-wheeled-drones-set-to-roll-out-in-london/). So in that way Wikipedia's definition is severely lacking. I believe the autonomous capabilities are required to move from rc device to drone.

  8. While I agree with your definition, show me an outdoor quad copter that does not have autonomous capabilities.

  9. An autonomous unmanned vehicle.

    And the GP is wrong, because while these are mostly remote controlled, they do have autonomous capabilities.

    When did the 2nd Amendment have an age restriction.
    No where is the right to bear arms restricted to militia aged men in the wording ( the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed ). I won't even argue with you about the militia requirement, but no where in the wording could it be construed to only apply to 18 - 45 year old men.

  14. You think it's alright to shoot someone for the simple act of stepping on your property? That is not your right in ANY state.

  15. I don't know about "legal", but something that feels so good can't really be wrong now can it?

  16. The article does go into that,

    "For that reason, the net assets of the funds are usually seen as a more stable indicator — those numbers show how much money is left over in the funds each year after the federal government takes care of various obligations, like payments to victims. Since this number can reflect monies taken over multiple calendar years, it's less comparable to the annual burglary statistics.

    Still, even this more stable indicator hit $4.5 billion in 2014, according to the Institute for Justice — higher again than the burglary losses that year."

    And that is just federal as the states suck at keeping records of abusing their citizens.

    Cox was in the habit of ignoring infringement notices and not passing them on to their customers. They also violated DMCA provisions that require the termination of repeat offenders by terminating and then offering to reactivate their account after a "stern" warning.

    As we move forward in this challenging time we want to hold on to every subscriber we can. With this in mind if a customer is terminated for DMCA, you are able to reactivate them after you give them a stern warning about violating our AUP and the DMCA. We must still terminate in order for us to be in compliance with safe harbor but once termination is complete, we have fulfilled our obligation. After you reactivate them the DMCA ‘counter’ restarts; The procedure restarts with the sending of warning letters, just like a first offense. This is to be an unwritten semi-policy . . . We do not talk about it or give the subscriber any indication that reactivating them is normal. Use your best judgment and remember to do what is right for our company and subscribers. . . . This only pertains to DMCA violations. It does not pertain to spammers, hackers, etc.

    -Jason Zabek, Cox’s Manager of Customer Abuse Operations.

    there are good reasons why Cox was found to have lost Safe Harbor since they were violating the privisions in the DMCA that afforded them that protection.

  22. Only if they have emails from higher up executives stating that terminated customers should be notified that they can sign right back up with no problems.

    I see a lot of people posting here have little to no knowledge of the actual lawsuit and why Cox lost.
