I fully believe that if the city didn't want to have the vehicle movement held hostage, they should NOT have signed the contract. It's now the City of Hoboken's liability. I hope the voters figure out the stupidity of the mayor's staff, and whomever the city's counsel is and act accordingly.
They could've told the operators to deny entrance to new cars and then shut it down after it emptied out if they didn't want the cars to be there, so that kind of makes me think that they did.
No, if you voluntarily give someone physical control of your property and they take it with an agreement to return it and the intent to return it, and they then become unable to return it, its not generally theft under criminal law.
Well, a reasonable person would notice that since they need the software to get your car out and they just kicked out the people who run the software, they can't return it. This would be a deliberate act that deprives you of your car.
And, while you might get some reasonable compensation through the civil lawsuit (though almost certainly not your "rather steep rental fee", your complaint with the police would likely go nowhere.
I'd go rent a car for however long from enterprise, then sure for reimbursement. Not a fancy car, but not a shitbox either.
So I go to the landlord, and ask to be able to retrieve my car. The landlord refuses. When pressed on this matter he goes on and on about his property rights, waving his deed to the property about in front of everyone declaring that he is under no obligation to open any door on his property for anyone. It's his door. Joe was only leasing it from him, and now that Joe's gone, he's not opening it without payment from Joe. Joe's not paying.
This is a great analogy except that the landlord has basically stolen your car, while the city is unable to return the cars without paying a licensing fee.
Robotic Parking have stolen the cars of the people who parked in the garage and are using them to extort the city of Hoboken.
No they haven't. The city kicked them out and stopped paying for the software. It's now the city's problem. If they weren't cocks, they'd order the garage emptied and then kick them out.
They have no rights whatsoever, and will not be getting their property back until two third parties agree, which may take weeks.
RTFA - they did get their cars back, but it took a few months. They could probably sue the city for loss of utility. I'll bet rentals for a couple months is low enough for small claims court.
Your arguement falls apart in that the city does actually own the garage and the equipment in it, and thus had every right to remove whoever it chose.
Yeah, they can do that, but now they own several tons of junk that's holding a couple hundred cars. They can't run the garage ebcause they can't run the software.
I'd think the lawsuit against the software vendor would be thrown out on the basis that they have no "relationship" with the car owner. This is a straight forwared contract dispute.
The Car owner is being harmed through the actions of the software vendor - how is that not a relationship?
Well in case it wasn't, those galaxies don't look like anything to us because light from them has never and will never reach our portion of the Universe.
And why is that? I expect it will happen, it'll just do so in reverse order. Are you suggesting that space is formed faster than C (even considering relativistic effects), so that photons are forever stranded?
What if, in another plane, the shortest way between two points it's infinitum, or the speed of light is the "0 energy level" of particles, or even matter and time doesn't exist
Taht doesn't mean anything.
how would yo expect to prove or discard those planes existance when you can't even access them, nor being influenced by them
Occam's Razor - since they don't ever affect me, they may as well exist, so I will ignore that possibility.
That's what I meant... that where the science cannot continue, it's unable to go further down the road because there simply IS no road, you can theorise, philosophise what lies beyond.
Yeah, well you need to use fewer words, and more paragraphs.
There are galaxies receding faster than light, but you'll never be able to observe them in any sort of experiment, or measure their speed, so there is no problem.
Nah, they just look like they're coming right at you.
the rift seems to appear in the last couple of centuries, with the scientific method and the cult to science.
Yeah, damn that repeatable and verifiable prediction requirement. Seriously, Physics is science: once you stop being able to make predictions, it's philosophy.
when you try to explain, or even just understand phisics of outside your own frame of work, your universe, you can't expect to do it via experiment's, that, being done in this "reality", could not explain or prove things outside of it.
Well, duh - if you can't do experiments or verify predictions, it's not science. What are really trying to say? Also, fix your spelling. It's embarrasing to discuss Physics and misspell the word.
Now he's parking his car across two spaces so nobody else can use Guest parking.
Duh, have his car towed. He'll be nice if being a prick costs $200. Also, why bother banging on his door? Call the cops at 1am. Then do it the next night when they do it again. Eventually, the cops will get tired of his stupid ass and tell him to keep it down or spend the night in jail.
You should still complain - it's probably the responsibility of the guy who had the work done to actually clean up afterwards. Sucks, but them's the breaks.
In the state of California, U.S.A., one has the "Right of Quiet and Peaceful Occupation of one's home." That means from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am, if there is noise or loud music, one merely calls the police;
No it doesn't. There are noise regulations, but all your quote means is that your landlord can't barge in unanounced.
Dunno about how long it'll be be good for, but DMSO is great for transporting chemicals into your blood stream. It's also handy if your veins are calcifying - I know someone with that condition that's used DMSO for about 15 years now.

Microsoft's "shared source" license is an example of this.
No it isn't. It's MS trying to distort the language.

Yeah, but who'd attack Hoboken?

Yeah, they can do that, but now they own several tons of junk that's holding a couple hundred cars. They can't run the garage ebcause they can't run the software.
Nah, that's not a violation, since it's a necessary part of normal usage of the software. Sorry, don't have a cite for you.
I'd think the lawsuit against the software vendor would be thrown out on the basis that they have no "relationship" with the car owner. This is a straight forwared contract dispute.
The Car owner is being harmed through the actions of the software vendor - how is that not a relationship?
Don't forget that they shot a guy in the face for carrying a backpack and looking too dark.
Maybe he's just a perv.

Yeah, well you need to use fewer words, and more paragraphs.
You'll find that the more people know about this stuff, the less faith they have.
If you threw two rocks in opposite directions at 1/2c each, wouldn't their relative velocity be about 3/4c?
There are galaxies receding faster than light, but you'll never be able to observe them in any sort of experiment, or measure their speed, so there is no problem.

But LSD is water soluble. This doesn't mean it *isn't* oil soluble, but it means not to expect it.
So use THC? That should be water soluble, right?
And how much money did the segway make, anyway? If it's cash positive, then he can just reinvest some of that into the stirling generator.

Though I do occasionally get ringing in my ears when I -know- it's 100% silent (so annoying),
That's probably your brain getting bored. Apparently, a full sensory deprivation tank can give you all sorts of hallucinations.

An annoying neighbor is not there yet (as a first step) unless they start to build fences on your side of the property or something of that level.
Still not lawyerbait. Get a survey to prove it, then cut the fence down with a chainsaw and stack it on your side of the lawn.
When you think about it, he's doing his own escalation. I have little sympathy for jackasses that deliberately antagonize the entire neighborhood.
