I think that Iomega in general was a curse to the computer industry. They single handedly DESTROYED removable platter storage by preventing the logical upgrade of floppies into higher capacities.
It's still a huge shame that the Imation Super-Floppy didn't catch on.
I'm surprised that the Newton wasn't on the list. It never quite took off even though it spawned Palm and PocketPC. I'm still waiting for apple to enter the market with a PocketMac based on pocketLinux.
Those cases are typically based on blood evidence. You prove that the person lost so much blood that they MUST be dead. You ALWAYS have to prove that there has been a death.
In the case of public nudity, it will be the prosecutions job to PROVE that the photographs are not fakes.
Those fund and investment pools carry enough votes to run the company, but they don't.
THEY CAN'T. Because investor groups AREN'T allowed to nominate board members. THE CEO nominates the board members. The shareholders can vote them up or down.
Unregulated captalism turns into feudalim. It's happening in front of our eyes with all the consolidation of power and resources. People are separated from the means of production by mega-corporations.
One only need look at Dell's business models. Sure, they outsource to a LOT of small manufacturers. But they basically make them work for shit because Dell is controlling the front end. They are driving up their own profit margins by dicking over suppliers. This is also what Wal-Mart does.
The mega-concentration of end-point branding creates a feudal condition because individuals can no longer compete.
Laborers in India, China and Mexico don't have the same rights to collectively bargain as Americans have. Without that right, wages will NEVER equalize.
Beyond this, China is actively preventing it's people from purchasing imports because they fix their currency to the dollar. Under this situation, the buying power of the Chinese will NEVER increase.
Finally, the level of work that executives engage in is pretty lousy. I'm sorry, but golfing and power lunches isn't work.
The addage is that you must compensate executives so people will WANT the job. Shit, you don't need to provide any financial incentive for someone to play golf, have power lunches, be "waited on" by an attractive assistant, travel to exotic locales, company paid Mercedes, company paid apartments, and every other form of "compensation" that can be devised.
So if you want to fix the economy, stop paying executives tens of millions to do "not much" work.
You forget that CEOs and executives have their own Unions. They are called COUNTRY CLUBS. Their Unions are the most pervasive and blood sucking in America. LABOR unions are in a constant struggle to get their fair share form the EXECUTIVE unions that have far more power and influence.
We were all to "special" to form a union back when we had some power. Now we have no power because of the ease of offshoring, but we want to pick up the union battle cry "Buy American!"
All of you Overpaid twits that were worried that a Union would not help you because you made more money than the average joe, well some jerk in India has your job now, because you didn't want a Union.
We did what the politicians told us to do. We trained in a high-tech skillset. These jobs were SUPPOSED to replace manufacturing. Now they have reneged on the deal and are replacing US as well. It doesn't have SHIT to do with skillsets. You can make a Chinaman study C++ at the point of a gun just as well as you can make them plant rice.
Ultimately, we must protect our shores from countries with shitty labor protection and shitty levels of representative democracy. Mexico is SUPPOSED to be a democracy, but in effect it is not. Same thing goes for Russia. From the conditions in India, I would say that they aren't either.
No the solution isn't to diffuse the power of the middle class. The solution is for China and India to create one.
I hate to tell you this, but it must be done with rifles. American's have consistently fought and died for the right of the middle class. Chinese and Indians need to fight this battle against their masters. Giving away our prosperity will only make us like China and India.
The biggest labor unions ever are called country clubs. They also call them athletic clubs. They are clicks of individuals that pull the strings of corporate America. They give each other raises by sitting on each others boards.
Living standards with Maquiladora labor pools is NOT going up. China even refuses to let it's currency float.
This is all a conspiracy for the elite across the world to create a new class of serfs. To barter labor down to 1930s level conditions. Were not helping poor people in poor countries. We are further enriching in rich people in both poor AND rich countries. We are destroying the middle class amongst the G8 nations.
The new corporate feudalism is coming if we don't get rid of WTO and NAFTA.
Well, the entire idea behind "FAIR TRADE" is that workers have the upper hand in negotiation. The whole "growth" mantra is the fallacy of the World Bank and IMF.
The idea is that the more the rich have, the more scraps are available for the dogs that wait at their table. When growth slows down, the rich no longer have a reason to "invest". The table offerings get short and the dogs no longer get "scraps". Of course the table is still full, it's just not overflowing.
A "fair" economy dominated by union power puts the shoe on the other foot. Producers are forced to share their abundance with the workers which they are effectively dependent on. Everybody gets a seat at the table. Therefore, there is no need for uber-consumption to produce an overflow and "scraps".
When this happens, we start recycling more because this creates jobs. It also puts less stress on the planet. The quality of goods goes up and the quantity (disposalness) goes down. Everyone drives a car with Mercedes/Lexus level quality. Everyone works less because automation cost savings are doled out evenly.
What must happen is western classes with large middle classes refuse to trade with serf labor countries. We trade extensively with countries that protect their laborers and their environment. We trade with China only when absoluetly NECESSARY.
Don't fool yourself. The American voter can stop globalization in a heartbeat. They only need realize what it's doing to there country. Competition based on artificial wage boundries is a farce. They take labor to China and India because they can treat these people any way they like.
Because America has created an environment of worker protection and a large middle class. Americans have fought and died to give their children the right to work 40 hours and make a fair living.
Their is nothing inherintly superior or inferior about Chinese or Indian labor. There's just 10x more of it. Plus those workers have little workplace protection and no rights to collective bargaining. India and China need NOTHING from America to make them happy and properous. It is a political problem, not an economic one.
Americans WILL eventually refuse to impoverish the American middle class for the sake of rich people in poor countries.
She could probably have someone do some photoshop fakies in similar circumstances. They would put this guy on the stand, show the images and use it to create doubt.
The key is that they cannot make claims about the actual photos. If they ARE real, she will perjure herself. The burden of proof is with the prosection.
If the originals were from a film camera, the prosecutors could supeana it as evidence. In that case, she really has no choice. If a third party does her webwork, than they can certainly be made to testify against her.
The big plus for her is that ALL publicity is good publicity. Depending on here level of sleaze, she could even turn this into a nice run in porn video;-)
If the digital images taken from the web are presumed to be suspect, than the prosecution would bear the burden to prove the images are authentic and not a Photoshop job.

CDRW still do not work like removable platters. Hopefully, Mt Raineer will fix this before 2.5 hard drives makes BIOS driven CD-RW meaningless.

Hehe, you've obviously never seen a:
EXECUTIVE PENSION
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
EXECUTIVE BOUS PLAN
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PACKAGE
EXECUTIVE BENEFITS
EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

Neither India nor China is socialist.
China is a command government with a capitalist economy.

Fortunately, the 16:9 crop isn't as bad as a 4:3 chop. Still I would prefer if Disney just left the film as it presented in the theatre.
Yo, Steve Jobs. Since Disney is cropping all the Pixar films, please produce everything in 16:9.
A confession does not prove a crime. Even if someone confesses to a murder, you still need a victim and a method of death.
I assume that God can sees right through our clothing. Because of this, it's doubtful that he really gives a shit about nudity.
Since god made man in his own image, and we are born nude, I assume that God is a nudist.
Most security cameras are analog. The biggest proof is the blurry quality from the tape being overwritten 5000 times.

Digital photographs are sometimes considered inadmissable in court because they're so easy to fake.
Digital Photos as evidence
If the digital images taken from the web are presumed to be suspect, than the prosecution would bear the burden to prove the images are authentic and not a Photoshop job.
This is a very good point. Breasts aren't sexual organs. I'm also sure that there are a lot of fatso men with bigger tits than a lot of women.
If all other potential influenes are removes, than yes. However, other evidence says otherwise.
