No, what I meant was why should you care if Florida allows it? Why shouldn't you just get a job that isn't requiring the objectionable terms in their contract?
What? I can't get arrested for intending to commit a crime. Attempting and intending are two different things. Now granted intent must be present for me to be convicted of a crime, but how can you say that it works similarly in civil law? If I accidently run my car into yours it doesn't matter if I had intent; I have to pay for your damages.
" The phisher can't get the image from the bank's site without logging in as you first." But then neither can you so what is the point? Point is you enter your username/pass, and then the phisher immediately tries it on the bank. The bank then sends its authentication picture to the phisher, and the phisher forwards it to you. Then you see the right picture and enter your answers to the personal questions (which the phisher provides from the bank as well). At this point the phisher is logged in as you.

And I wish instead of posting to slashdot you would spend more time working on cold fusion. Sorry, you don't get to dictate what others do, nor do you get to dictate what is interesting to them.
"Otherwise what would be the point of a contract if someone can just break it for you and walk away" Give an example. Though Google can just "walk away" in this example, the guy still can't; so there, that is "the point of a contract:" the parties of the contract are responsible to meet their ends of the deal. Google isn't a party to the contract.
"If Florida employment law really would deny you your right to use a computer at your next job, then get out of that hell-hole."
Umm or how about just don't sign any agreement which explicitly states you can't use a computer at your next job. That is a lot easier than moving out of your damn state. Why do you need the government to babysit you on this issue?
Did I check the date? No. I read a newspaper article back then about corn subsidies and sugar tarriffs forcing the softdrink makers to make the switch. A few weeks later, Coke started tasting different and now had HFCS near the top of the ingredients; additionally it began leaving a sticky, plaque filled film over my teeth.
I hate the idea of these lawsuits (though I know there is much precedent and they aren't going away anytime soon); the other company wasn't a party to the contract and should not be able to be held liable for asking someone to break it.
But should your old employer be able to sue your new employer if they knew about the contract? I don't think so--they weren't party to the contract. But today in fucked up America that is sadly the case: if you knowingly get someone to break a contract you can be sued under that contract (that you didn't agree to).
I hate this aspect of American contract law. If two people are in a contract that I know about and I encourage one to break it, I am guilty of a tort. How the hell am I guilty of a tort; I wasn't a frickin party to the contract. Contracts are just agreements between two people, if I had no part in agreeing I shouldn't have any responsibility under it.
"I don't want to put together a bunch of.RAR files. (Note: Yeah, yeah, I know, bittorrent downloads don't typically use that."
Instead you want to have to have a login/pass at every single US Distributor's website so you can pay to download their content? Each distributor is going to have a limited selection and in fact to get anything you want it will likely be more difficult than doing it illegally. What the industry needs is a consolidated place to get it, like iTunes is for music.
"FWIW, have you actually made the same recipie with the same incredients, swapping only HFCS and Sugar, and been able to notice a difference?"
No, but I was alive when Coke made the switch. If you want to say "Well Coke probably made several changes at the same time," all I have in response is, "yeah they sure did, to try and make up for the flavor of HFCS."
The fact that anyone even bought one bag of Doritos 3D is absolutely hilarious. It was obviously designed to give chips of equivalent mass more volume to package less food in the same bag (I know, with all the air in a regular bag of chips it seems impossible, but they proved it isn't).
Yes, less heat generation. But with a 3d design you get WAY less heat dissipation. So, yes, less heat generated for an equivalent chip, but a much higher operating temperature at any given time.
It will definitely be needed. With a traditional chip you have a lot of surface area for cooling. With a massive 3d chip you have a lot less outside surface area per transister. I think if 3d chips ever do come into existence they will have to be designed with 3d duct (or for water, pipe) work throughout to allow cooling.
Hah, more like professional plaigiarist (I realize he has changed his evil ways significantly but I don't think that makes up for his wicked, wicked past)
Disney has had this system since before the "war on terror" so the idea that people only accept it because of the war on terror "fad" (I hope it is a fad too but I don't think anyone is sure at this point) is completely wrong.
"What you are saying is, if I have a door and the lock breaks, it is my fault if I get robbed because I did not change the lock??"
It is your fault somewhat if you were responsible for other people's things and they trusted you to at least keep up with published problems that your lock was known to have. That trust was there in this case. Does that in any way weaken the guilt that the hacker has? No. Why do you think that just because someone else gets some additional blame it has to be a zero sum game and therefore take away blame from the thief? I'd say you are crazy.
There is also an adjusted P/E ratio where you don't take into account E alone, you take into acount E and the current growth rate of E. With that taken into account Google is actually quite reasonable because they already are growing astronomically. The question is can they keep it up. I'm not so sure; I guess we'll all have to see.
Hmm, that begs the question: does resulting H20 and Graphite have a lower potential energy than whatever amalgam of molecules makes up coal and the O2 it will come from? It seems like it takes a lot of work to artificially create diamonds and graphite today, is that because of the crazy inefficiencies at bringing carbon to really high temps and pressure or do diamonds and graphite actually hold a lot of potential energy?
Hmm, sodium doesn't naturally occur in a solid form very often, it is usually crystalized with other elements or already in water. I don't see any breakthrough here whatsoever.

You would get dehydrated really fast. With temperatures above 98.6 wind feels good until you pass out from dehydration.

Here's one you can buy as well. Get them while you can.

That's right, if you are flat, you aren't sexy. Also if you are sexy, you aren't "ok for everyone:"
"company's representatives might learn, for example, that a particular character is probably a bit too busty for an "E." "

If it was almost identical to sugar it would taste almost identical to sugar--it doesn't.

Please... your post is so wrong.
