Several states have already passed laws that prevent employers from using social network content in their hiring practices . ..
Not that I don't think that ethically, that's great, but it's also utterly unenforceable. How is someone going to prove he or she was denied employment because a hiring manager or HR checked out content on Myfacetwiitter?
. I think the majority of the stolen phones are left in taxis, bar stools, bathrooms, and park benches. so they are not stolen.
Yes, the are. The "finders keepers" rule of childhood playgrounds does not apply in adult life. Someone who finds property someone left behind has a legal duty to either find the owner and return it or turn it in to the police. If the police can't find the owner, then the finder may get to keep the property.
And The Retail Equation, whether they've owned up to it yet or not, is a Consumer Reporting Agency as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act and is required to provide free reports annually and when adverse action is taken against a customer (the latter, they apparently do comply with).
I hate to break it to you, but Missouri does indeed collect "use tax" on out-of-state purchases. Or at least tries. Take a look at your MO-1040 instructions under "Consumers Use Tax". Now of course if I worked in Jefferson City, I'd flag anyone who itemized and paid any of that tax just because they must be doing something wrong to try to appear like that much of a Boy Scout, but the line is there.
But at least in San Juan, if you cut into traffic the guy you just cut in front of doesn't take it as an affront to his manhood. It's chaotic but I didn't find it as bad as driving in Chicago or New York.

Read this carefully: A discount for X is equivalent to a surcharge for not X.
Seriously, how long do you think before the "discount" will be so large that only the rich will be able to afford to drive without Big Brother in the passenger's seat?
It's that last part we're sorely missing. Witness the line of compliant sheep waiting to be patted down on the way into sporting events, groped at the airport, or show their receipts on the way out of the Wal-Mart. Suggest that all this is unnecessary and the bleating in favor of whatever surveillance in the name of security drowns out any voice of reason.
The source of that quote, just happens to sell a solution to this horrible, dangerous threat. (scans article) Yup! Lieberman Software conveniently provides "Privileged Identity Management Solutions." But quis ipsos custodes custodiet? Who manages the privileged identity management solution manager? Or will they take that arduous task off the company's hands, too? Fscking charlatans.

Talk about gun control. Mine might never fire again after that visual.
Yeah, but it's apropos. And you beat me to it :).

It looks like you've confused marriage with adoption.
You mutton make that kind of extrapolation.
When someone finds a phone and does not turn it in and keeps it for himself, that phone is stolen.

The tighter you close your grip, Tarkin, . . .

Sue them in Small Claims for the price of the goods plus costs. Of course, then you'll be on a blacklist of customers that have sued retailers.

Thanks for that -- when I saw this thread, that song immediately started playing in my head.
Joke's on you--people from the East Coast don't use their turn signals!
And he found out he was human in the end. I wonder if he regretted being such a douche.
Excellent dissection of the smug "family importance" bullshit in the parent post. Well done!
Nuggets of information like this are why i still like to read Slashdot. Thanks!

then it's time for an "intellectual 'property' tax." Let them have their eternal copyright, but tax the living shit out of it.
Whoever uses "whomever" as a subject needs some serious English lessons.

That only applies to credit accounts, not to checking or savings accounts.
Not really the best example for a shoot/don't shoot scenario :).
