In France, video cameras are set up at point A and point B. If your average speed is above the speed limit between the two locations of the cameras, then you will get a ticket.
With this technology, it makes the same process much less labor intensive and it will be easy to set this up on most freeways.
I hate to bring up the vastly overused slippery slope metaphor, but I already see the slope tilting. In London, UK, you now need an expensive permit to go on the roads in the middle of London during Rush hours (I'm not sure, but I believe it uses this very same technology). Plus, in the San Francisco bay area, I've subscribed to FastTrak to go on the bay bridge, and I've already received a notice a year ago saying that they would start using the transmitter for other purposes (i.e. traffic jam information, etc.).
If you had actually RTFA it says that ALL parties must consent. Sure, you can get consent from your employee that their communications can be monitored, but how do you get consent from the person they are communicating with?
The same way you get it when people call your business.

~ Your Gmail Email Address Can Be Linked to Your Search History
It is possible to link your email address to your search history using your unique Google "cookie" - a bit of software code that automatically allows both the Google search engine and Gmail to "recognize" you whenever you return to the website. Unless you delete it, this cookie will remain on your computer's hard drive for long enough to be effectively permanent.
While Google says that it doesn't currently correlate email addresses with search history, we know that the company will do so if required by law - e.g., if it receives a search warrant, subpoena, etc. For this reason, EFF strongly recommends that Gmail users delete the Google cookie often.
You're not storing things in your closet, you're storing things in Google's closet.
If you'd store things in my closet without paying me, you'd be sure I'd want something in return. I wouldn't go through your stuff, because I wouldn't care. But if you wanted something from me, you'd have to give me something of value in exchange.
Hey, I was only talking about my "surrounding environment". I don't care if a company I buy from polutes as long as they don't do it in my backyard or in my food. I don't care for things I can not control.
I do subscribe and read Consumer Reports. I do shop at Costco. I do avoid companies I do not trust. Etc. I take full responsibility for my choices. And I do not take responsibility for the things that are beyond my control.
Moving the plant to El Salvador changes neither supply nor demand.
Moving a plant to El Salvador may change the supply side of the equation. It may help a company survive another day. It may spur a price war within a certain car category. It may spur a merger.
Noone knows for sure. Your understanding of economics is only about halfway right.
Maybe it's just me, but if you pose the question in your FAQ, but the real answer can only be found by rummaging through a mailing list archive, you're dodging the question.
Exactly. And pure capitalism has been used where the owners of the companies are *all* in agreement to not exploit their customers, workers or the environment.:-)
No, on the other hand, pure capitalism can only work where everyone is selfish and where everyone expects others to be selfish.
If as a customer, I expect companies to try to screw me over, I take full responsibility if a company successfully screws me over, and I don't usually let it happen again.
It's the same thing with my environment, if a company messes up my surrounding envrionment, I take full responsibility for chosing the location I live in and I take full responsibility for moving away and/or making them stop.
Yes, the parent is correct. Before I bought my Honda, I made sure it wasn't made in the United States. As far as I'm concerned, US-Honda is only a cheap knock-off of Japan-Honda.
If you REALLY want a burden, try supporting a family of 4 or 5 on an income of $25 a year.
How many pennies is that a day? In any case, living in California is a choice and having 3 or 4 kids is also a choice. You'll probably disagree with me, but that's ok I'm used to it.
Thanks, I've bookmarked the site, but I will not update my signature. I would rather never see the nytimes again and I will only use your site as a last option.
And since you did agree to the terms of the license, the question should be why isn't it your fault?
I signed plenty of contracts and agreed to plenty of EULAs that were not completely legal. I'm not a lawyer, but I know enough about the law to know that a clause in a contract doesn't always supercede the law.
An unlimited 3 month account COULD HAVE BEEN purchased by Mr. Lamo for $1500.
And even $1,500 is a bit much. If he had not stolen this access, would he have actually bothered to buy it from them? I doubt it, the kid is semi-homeless. Those are not actual damages. NY Times didn't lose any money and Lexis didn't lose any money. At the most they lost a couple of pennies on bandwidth.
Just to play devils advocate, it's not as if people who bought their music from Apple weren't aware of the "limitations" of it's use. If they were, then it's no one's fault but their own.
Well, I certainly wasn't aware of it. May be, I'm just a dummy then.
When I buy a book, I'm aware of the inherent limitations of the medium. I know that legally, I can copy it to another medium if I make sure I follow fair use. I also know that if I can see text in the book, as far as the laws of Physics are concerned, then I can copy what I see to another medium. It doesn't matter if they use special blue ink, if I can pick up on a photon, I know that a machine will be able to pick up on it as well. For instance, quite a number of people buy books, slice off the spine of the book, and use their automatic scanners to scan the entire book to PDF format (it's useful for adding overlayed annotations).
And when I buy a song online, it's the same thing. I know what fair use allows me to do and I know that if I can hear something, as far as the laws of physics are concerned, I can make a copy of it. Now, tell me why it's my fault again?
Non-commercial hardware could not exist because there's just no way to create a computer without transistors.
I think you mean to say, non-licensed hardware could not exist. In any case, patents expire, so your supposition is nothing more than an interesting unrealistic metaphor.

Actually, that's what I did for a week, but I used an inbound filter on my mail client.

They become our maids, our cooks, our drivers, our caddies, our gardeners, etc.
I got myself a maid service recently (only for 3 hours a week) and it's one of the better decisions I've made.

Pure socialism has been used in countries where noone is selfish. That's why it has worked so well so far.

Since noone has said it yet, I'll say it now.
With Linux at least, you can turn this former asset-morphed-liability into a fully functioning religious idol everyone can worship.

Does this mean I can't get someone arrested if that person jumped over my fence and trespassed on to my property?

The project has been off-shored.
It would be great for drunk drivers if it automatically called the cops if the driver was recklessly driving.
You must be a cop, Davis - California is the only town in the World which will ticket cyclists for not stopping completely at a stop sign.
