Probably about the same time that lazy parents will get it that the State will never be an adequate substitute for active, involved parental supervision.
Duh. That would be too easy. Most likely, they panicked when they got the C&D letter, and instead of talking to a lawyer, they said, "Heck with it," and shut down.
C'mon, people, you can find a lawyer veryeasily. Most offer a low price for the initial consultation. It is in your best interest to talk to one before you take any action, so that you understand the consequence and any repercussions that will arise from your decision. Even capitulation may have dire consequences.
I talked to laywer regarding an IP issue a while back and it only cost me $20 for a 1/2 hour (it would've cost $200 for the next hour---it would have been worth it---but I didn't need that long).
HR is nearly worthless

The only thing HR people are good at is bring me my weekly check and keeping me updated on all the paper work have to do.
This is true, but over the years, HR departments have grown and become huge, bloated messes. Think about the VP of HR. Why does she get a 6 or 7 figure salary? Because she convinced the CEO that HR is so "vital" to the company, and the sucker CEO believed it.
Too bad more companies aren't outsourcing their HR departments, rather than IT.
You have to use certain devices, and use them with certain media.
Seems to me (IANA-stinkin-L) that once the 'data' is converted to analog, it is done. My reasoning is that the technoilliterate courts think that since analog data is not a 'perfect copy,' so it is okay. There is certainly ways to store data in an analog stream that can then be retrieved in digital form. For those of you who grew up in the TRS-80 Epoc, that was the original, prefered method of storting programs.
Someone asked if he already owned a copy of a song, could he download it from P2P. The brilliant RIAA lackey replied:
Just as you would not go into a video store and steal a DVD copy of Star Wars and claim that you should be permitted to do that because you own the VHS version, you cannot download somebody else's copy of a recording.
As if "download[ing] someone else's copy" removed their copy! I challenge Mr. Lackey to find ONE store that would mind if I walked in, picked up a copy of Star Wars, ran my hands over it and put it back on the shelf, unharmed. Oh wait, I used my Evil P2P Gloves (Pat. Pend.) to make a "perfect digital copy" and store it on the harddrive attached to my belt...
Okay, here's another one:
In legislation enacted [in 1992], [Congress] said that infringement actions cannot be filed against consumers who engage in copying using analog devices ~.
So, here's what you do: take the digital stream and translate the binary data to tones (hi, low) and convert those tones to analog, make your copy using only analog, band pass out the gibbs artefacts, convert the tones back to digital, run through a decoder with a touch o' error correction. Done.
It means that it is a "preview" story. Most likely, they are making changes again and are using the/. development model: Testing is for limp-wrist Saddam-lovers; real, red-blooded, coalition-of-the-willing men roll to production first.
The part of the code that restricts these preview stories to subscribers only is probably pooched...

They only sell it in cans!
You can buy it in bottles, too. Perhaps the shops you patronise cater to clientele who prefer canned beers.
Funny, that's the same mentality that permeated Nazi Germany and later post-WWII East Germany. That's when people "disappeared" based upon rumors from their paranoid, gossipy neighbors.
If that's the kind of society you want to live in, why don't you move to... um... er... America!

When you are breaking the law, you don't have any rights.
That is why they get to put you in a 10x8 box with bars, wash you with a fire hose, and let other inmates "probe" you repeatedly. Good ol Uncle Sam: the original Gay Dungeon Master!
Next you'll want to designate a city or town as a "War on drug"-free zone, where drug use is considered a sickness and not a crime. You'll suggest getting people into rehab rather than prison.

assuming your paying around $40 per pre-mix box, and $15 or so for the CO2
You're getting ripped off, then. It may be because you aren't buying in bulk, or piggy-backing off a volume order.
Pre-mix runs us about US$15/box and CO2 is provided free o' charge. The cost per 20 oz cup is about US$0.015... hardly close to the US$0.99/litre bottle.
The only thing of note is that this puts to rest the thought that blind thrust faults cannot exist (which is kind of stupid, if you think about it).
The article names one of the thousands of faults in the LA basin, and probably one or the 10 or so that could cause serious damage.
The Newport-Inglewood fault is also another one that you don't hear about (for you Los Angelinos, it runs right under the 405 and up through Westwood - go Bruins!), but it has as much potential to cause damage as any other.
What is interesting is that they were able to accurately measure the folded sandstone (anyone know what units? It's too deep to be QAL) clearly enough at depth.
The rate of earthquakes on the west coast is high - you'll see a 2 on the Richter every few days, but you won't notice it.
Seeing as how the San Andreas last popped near Ft. Tejon in the mid 1800s, that is the one that would scare me: it moved about 30' back then. With the #$(#@ government allowing developers to build on top of the fault zone, some poor schlubs are going to find the remains of their living room 30 feet away from the remains of the rest of their home. Or rubble.
Just make sure your earthquake kit is up-to-date and don't sweat it. It could be worse: it could be Seattle (an earthquate caused by Juan de Fuca plate movement could cause a Tsunami AND erupt that little ol' volcano they have just outside the city). Do'o.
That would be the Newport-Inglewood fault. It is not large in terms of length or width (the San Andreas fault is much longer and wider). It also will not displace as far as the SA fault could if it (SA) released in a single event.
in this country, you are innocent until they can prove you guilty
You have never been to court, then. The way it works is that you are basically guilty in the eyes of the judge, the cops, and even the court clerk. Your only hops is that your lawyer can find some loophole to weasel you through.
If you don't have a lawyer, or have a poor one, then you might as well go ahead and turn your pockets inside out, hand them your belt and shoelaces, and get fitted for a nice orange jumpsuit that has "Dept of Corrections" stenciled on the back.
That means he had to keep his bags packed at all times in case he had to move out quick... Oh and the security deposit, er license fee, er purchase price? You can forget about that, mate.
Religous freedom, and the seperation of Church and State are meant to let everyone practise their own religion,not that atheism should be default.
The "default" IS the absense of religion. Can you imagine how it would be if the default religion was Satanism?
Now all the money in your pocket says, "In Satan we trust."
Your kids have to grab their crotch and say, "One nation, under Beelzebub,..." every day at school. If they refuse, then they get suspended for "disrupting the class."
Before every high-school football game, the announcer says, "All bow your head in honor of his Unholy Majesty, Lucifer!"
Is that the kind of world you want to live in? No? Well then why do you force your religion on others who feel the same way about Christianity that you do about Satanism?
