What I find to be the most annoying part of the story is that People's Bank transmitted the data to Mellon Bank encrypted. Mellon then decrypts the data, puts it on a tape and loses the tape! I work as an integration architect for a pretty large insurance company. Every piece of private information that is transmitted externally or between hosts internally is encrypted. We also use mutual authentication to reduce the chances of sending the encrypted data to the wrong place. Every laptop or desktop hard drive is encrypted. If I lose my laptop the thief will not be able to read the data on my hard drive unless he knows my password. We have this heightened level of protection for all information and Mellon puts an encrypted tape in a van and loses it?
Now you are starting to make me feel old! I saw that movie when it first came out. I had read the book and thought the movie might be better. It wasn't any better. I guess starting out with a moderately interesting summer read and adding Clint Eastwood does not make for a good movie.
Do you think innocent people aren't going to die when we retaliate? Do you think innocent people aren't going to die when the terrorists respond to our retaliation?
The United States has no choice. The magnitude of today's action requires the U.S. government to launch wide ranging and vicious reprisals against BinLaden, the Afghan government and all other terrorist organizations and governments that support them in the Middle East. It is likely that major parts of Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria will be destroyed in order to show that attacking the United States is not something they should be doing.
There will also, likely, be "silent" retaliation against terrorists, government officials and their families. Most of this action will not make the news but will send a grim message to the people in power that they are not safe when they make poor choices with regards to attacking the U.S.
This type of action is not something the U.S. likes to do. It has taken quite a bit of provocation to get to this point. But large, powerful states cannot let attacks like this go unpunished.
Your question raises two issues. First, how does the California court get the right to try this (civil, as opposed to criminal) case in the first place. Thats what the opinion addresses. Each state has something called a "Long Arm Statute" that allows them to get jurisdiction over people that may not be physically present in that state. For example, if I drive through California and run over someone, California's Long Arm Statute gives CA personal jurisdiction over me even if I have left the state. The fact of my driving through CA gives them that right. The question that arose in this case, as I understand it, is did the defendant have enough contact with CA to allow CA to claim jurisdiction? It looks like the CA Court of Appeals thinks there was sufficient contact between CA and the defendant.
The second issue that your question raises is, how can any judgement against the defendant be enforced outside of CA? This is an easier question in many respects. The US Constitution has a "Full Faith and Credit" clause. This allows plaintiffs to enforce the judgements of one state in any other state in the Union. Say I am found liable for damaging the person I run over while driving through CA. A court in CA enters judgement against me for $1000. The plaintiff has the right to take that CA judgement to my home state, or any other state where I have assets, and use the courts of that other state to make me pay.

I think I took the same test about a year ago. The funny thing was, I was going for a server-side java contract and the test asked, nearly, all AWT/Swing questions. Plus, some of the questions were so ambiguous as to be meaningless. I must have passed because I got the contract. But I'm not sure what anyone can tell about me from the results of that test.
Hint to people that take these tests: if you are doing it from home like myself, keep the two volume Core Java books handy. I answered half the questions by looking the answers up while I was taking the test.

How far behind are...strip searches to get in the mall.
I can see it now, in an effort to increase the number of shoppers at the mall, they start running specials like:
"ON Sunday from 1PM to 3PM all the men will be strip searched by Pamela Anderson."
On a serious note, you need to take your medication. Your starting to have some whacko thoughts racing through your mind.

DOS !--> VMS the current version of DOS is VSE. Possibly you were thinking of VM.
DOS was not released in the LATE 60s...try the early to mid 60s (approx. 1964 from what i remember).
And what do you think they say?
