Even if he is innocent, and proven as such during the trial, his life is ruined. Rather effective if you believe this was orchestrated by the wife to get back at him in revenge.
Revenge is common in bad divorces, and this smells like revenge to me.
Today juries as a whole tend not to be intelligent enough to know what facts are, and are swayed purely by their emotions that are played upon by the attorneys. Who ever puts on the best show wins for the most part.
Dont believe me? Who has time to sit for weeks on a jury? Most often its people that dont have regular jobs or a family to support, so the odds of getting an idiot is pretty high. ( not always of course, but the % is higher )
If you are on the premisses of a private business, you *dont* have a right to use your phone. Period, end of legal story. ( you can take your business elsewhere of course, but you have zero legal leg to stand on )
Remember when we didnt have cell phones hanging out of everyones ears? If you were in an emergency you would actually have to ask for help from the staff. And you know what, they would help or call 911 for you and assistance would arrive.
Stop being a crybaby and making excuses for being yet another rude cell phone user.
Besides, the Altair/Ismai "appearance" is logical when you have no way to get your data/code into the box and still want it 'general purpose'. It only makes sence to have direct control of the bus.
Remember when they first came out, a ROM based bootstrap was still the stuff of dreams for many people.
Most peope these days dont even know what a CPU really is, other then 'quad bla bla bla superduper socket bla bla' from intel or amd.
Once upon a time, this is how it was done. Stuff like this should be mandatory for all CS students ( might be still for the few of us EE's out there, but ive not been in school for a LONG time so things could be different )
This was/is a civil case, guilt or innocence of any crime is not part of the proceedings. If there was a crime involved then this would be a criminal case instead.
Last time i looked, in Indiana, yes there is additional punishment for escaping.
Oddly enough, this woman led a seemingly normal crime free life for 35 years. Perhaps she was innocent in the beginning like she claims, as its really hard for a criminal to go cold turkey.
Well, it USED to be that way, as being able to 'preview' would let me know i wanted to buy it. The risk of wasting 15 bucks with the style of music i listen to was great enough to prevent many purchases on sight only.
However, with the way they have been treating customers, and now knowing how little the artists get, in my case i stopped buying anything that is tied to the industry, and only buy indie music.
Sorry, thats far too sterile to really learn anything.
Until you burn your fingers on a hot beaker, or smell the reults of your last failed ( or successful ) experiment that catches on fire or cracks the bottom out of your flask, you never really learn. Its all theory without that sort of 'real' experience..
Seems the terrorists have already won, with a minimal expenditure of energy/effort. I still wonder if this was the plan all along, to just nudge the civilized world into self destruction on its own, or just an unexpected side effect worth exploiting. Either way its the same result, but i am curious.
200 years ago you might be able to do that ( here in the US anyway, in other countries the timing would be different ) and be called a patriot. Today, the government will just detain you and get you out of circulation before you cause any 'damage'.
That said, I agree, following ones conscience is important, but so is picking the right battles.

Good luck with that. While i agree totally, that would not keep us on the perpetual upgrade treadmill that modern day corporate wants to maintain.
Unless/Until resources disappear, the concept of efficiency will not return.
Blah.... i meant nintendo.. i was just reading something about sony when i posted.. blah
This is one of the ( more valid ) reasons copyrights ( and trademarkes ) exist. Perhaps sony should be cracking down.
It wasnt fun? Thats odd. That sort of thing was(is) tons o fun

I was actually trying to be sarcastic, but i got modded insightful??
In appearance only.

But still impressive.

Only a terrorist would want a 3d map of a city. This must be stopped.
She is also claiming innocence of the original crime, not that she committed a crime of passion and that the sentence was unjust..
Due to how she conducted her life after the escape, I say give her the benefit if the doubt, in this case, and let it drop.
The definition of "Personal Computer" is just morphing to fit modern technology.

This all about liability.
And they didn't increase security? thats pretty irresponsible. At least give the poor guard a gun and a partner. How about a panic button ?

THat happens every day in government. One person makes a poor decision and once its discovered they cancel the contract and back out.
( not saying it was a bad decision that was reversed in this case, but the principle is the same )

Its called business, if you offer a 'sweeter' deal then the next guy, be it by a better products or deeper discounts, you make the sale.
This is hardly even news.
What happened to 'horny hedgehog' ?

It will be more like 'come with us'.
So will they come up with an 'approved' list of software ( and hardware ) that you are allowed to possess. Anything else would make you a terrorist.
Better hide those Ataris and Amigas !
