In this case the judge used a computer intrusion statute. I don't know the terms of it, but some such laws do prohibit trading in passwords or other access devices. Seems like a stretch, and I don't consider it justified, but that might be the reasoning.
According to the complaint the MBTA is calling the CharlieCard and even the CharlieTicket a "computer." Understanding how the "computer" works and disseminating that information constitutes fraud.
According to the referenced US Code, a "computer" is:
the term "computer" means an electronic, magnetic, optical, electrochemical, or other high speed data processing device performing logical, arithmetic, or storage functions, and includes any data storage facility or communications facility directly related to or operating in conjunction with such device, but such term does not include an automated typewriter or typesetter, a portable hand held calculator, or other similar device;
Fourth, anyone who believes that Exxon makes excessive profits is a moron. 11.68 billion on 138.07 billion of revenue- 8.45% profit. That's considered an average profit in the business world.
And how common is 138.07 billion dollars in revenue? Moron. And higher taxes would make up for the fact that they've continued to receive tax breaks and subsidies while their profits were exploding.
Is it really surprising to you that the 2nd largest corporation in the world could have the highest profit in the world? I'll make things simpler for you... the larger the company the higher the revenue. The higher the revenue the higher the profit.
According to Fortune 500 in 2007 Exxon had 347254 million in revenue with 39500 million in profit, 11% profit on revenue. Bank of America had 117017 in revenue with 23133 million in profit, 20% profit on revenue. Does that make Bank of America evil? They had more profit with a smaller company.
You see, your problem is that you are a lib. As a lib you take a slightly different look at the world. A view that defies logic or reason. You pick on companies that you perceive are the cause of the problem. What you fail to realize, because you're brainwashed by dems, is that government is the problem. Your homeboy Barack, he wants to tax the oil companies. You know what that will do? Higher taxes? It means you and I will pay more at the pump. Plain and simple.
Before you start calling others morons, I think you should look at your own party- you Marxist lib!
Just a couple months ago I was traveling cross country. I had returned home and couldn't find my Leatherman tool in my luggage. A week later I found my Leatherman- in my laptop bag, my carry-on... they didn't see it when it was in the whiz bang x-ray machine?
While I agree the stunt is a little immature I commend them for drawing attention to such an important issue- Nancy Pelosi. She has refused to allow the house to vote on offshore drilling.
First and foremost, unless the issue involves human rights: such as legalizing rape or murder, the house has a right to vote on it. The people of this country have a right to vote on subjects- that's what makes a democratic republic.
Second, I am one who feels the price of oil would drop with offshore drilling. It's a simple supply and demand problem. The supply is scarce so the cost rises. This allows oil speculators to raise the price even higher. Oil industry experts believe that oil could reach the market in 3 years; don't believe the 7-15 year nonsense. See 1980s oil glut for how supply and demand effect oil prices.
Third, I truly believe moving away from oil as a fuel source is the ultimate solution. This will not happen today, tomorrow, or 10 years from now. The correct action today is to unburden the lower class and the economy with the cost of gasoline by increasing oil supply.

Is there software out there that streams music to networked computers at the same time? For instance, I have a computer in each room of the house. I want all the computers playing the same thing.
However, the 'gotcha' is that it requires a cable box (or some other intelligent device) to do it. Customers that rely simply on cable ready TV's/VCRs would not be able to do it.
So, that gotcha is (almost) a non-issue. They'd love to have one more excuse to (damn-near) force you to rent a box for every TV.
Apparently you don't live in Boston with Comcast cable. They scramble every channel besides what is provided with the basic package. Regardless if you have a larger package. Comcast's customer service department openly admits this is to force customers to rent a box for every television in their house. They claim scrambling the channels will cut down on cable theft.
My question is how Microsoft will handle dual core processors? My dream workstation would include dual processor, dual core Opterons. Will Microsoft charge me more for Windows XP Professional that supports 4 processors even though it's achieved by dual core technology?

This is just another attempt at a goverment organazation giving a fascade of security. We all know the terrorits can easilly work around this problem. It just allows the people in charge to say, "see! we did something! You can feel safer now."
Providing a false sense of security is nothing new. In my old suburban area high school they locked all the doors expect for the main entrance. Each door that was locked was made of glass. There also wasn't a security checkpoint at the main entrance. As if someone couldn't walk through the main entrance with guns blazing or couldn't break the glass on the other doors and open them that way. But hey, the prinicipal can tell all the parents how commited he is to our safety. Yeah, okay pal.

"Armed with Mitnick's advice, Keck went back to SBC and demanded a "terminating number search" for any calls made to the high school's lines on the dates of the bomb threats."
So really all Kevin did was point out how unhelpful SBC is to law enforcement? SBC could help but wasn't asked in the right way. How is our government expected to tackle matters of national security when the major communications companies are unwilling to help unless you say the "magic words."

If Microsoft really wanted innovation in technology they would contribute to open standards.
Gelato is a $2,750 software package. It is intended to be used with an Nvidia Quadro FX 4000 workstation video card. The video card has not hit the market yet, but the Quadro FX 3000 goes for $1,300. Which brings the total cost for the package at between $4000 and $5000 per machine.
Situations like this reiterate the need for the government to subsidize fiber to every home. We could put phone service, cable television, and internet access on the 1 fiber line going into each home.
The technology is available, why don't we embrace it?
The attack also raises the possibility of internet blackmail, with companies threatened by individuals or even an individual who might be anywhere.This attack, though, is not blackmail. It is about malice not money.
Perhaps the MyDoom virus was written to blackmail the Linux community? Without knowing the author how could you establish if it is indeed malice by an over zealous Linux user?
This article wreaks of sensationalism from a writer who sounds like he's on SCO's payroll. Shame on the BBC.
