    Ya know the stupidity of that barely deserves an answer.
    No if you assault me you can't get medical damages from me.

    But if you cause me to take legal action you can bet if I win (and believe me the city was going to win) then I'm going to take my legal fees out of your pocket book.

    Apparently it cost the city 200,000 dollars they wouldn't have had to spend. He caused a trial that cost more money. I'd say he did quite a lot of damage to the city and I call that detrimental.

    Yes a city works slightly differently that a corp. Not much at his level.

    Yes following the rules to the detriment of the entire company/city while it maybe satisfying will get you a felony count and I hope a stiff fine. It's nice to be able to follow the rules, but once your (corporate superior entity) requires you to do something even if it is against company policy you do it. Your (corporate superior entity) made the policy after all. While you and several like thinkers may believe you to be insightful you are missing the point about what point following the rules becomes a felony. He got off easy.

    Wow, you wasted all these pixels to explain something that we could all have looked up ourselves elsewhere. What a maroon! You win the stupid GIT of the week contest, come on down to the police station to claim the "I committed a murder in my house award" Just say that phrase at the front desk and wait for the award.

    Somewhere a DA is beating a police captain about the head and shoulders, making this an improper search throws all the tainted evidence out the window.

    The law lives and breathes pedantry. The letter of the law is the letter of the law for a reason. Despite what you may have heard about reasonable men this is rarely the case in law. Yes I got the meaning, and a reasonable man would also but in the interest of protecting 4th amendment and 1st amendment rights pedantry should rule the day.

    I doubt Apple has had any control of this for quite a while. An overzealous DA has taken over and sees stars in this case. He's wrong but...

    I noticed while reading the warrant the it says that his computer equipment is "Lawfully sizeable under penal code section 1524" Now I don't know what that means but I bet a lawyer could argue that it doesn't say seizable.

    Yes but the movie may be experienced in exactly the same form by all who view it. It may not present identical experiences but it is the same form. A game is an amorphous set of circumstances that is different nearly every time you go through it. Any particular piece of a game may be and probably is a piece of art but the whole is not art it is a set of functions that can produce art but is not art itself.

    You failed miserably because indeed a trip to the grand canyon is merely a set of turns and stops. What you do when you get there is the important part, not the journey in this case. Also the destination is irrelevant, it's still what you do when you get there.
