nah, not against the judge - against the city. They're the ones pushing what's a workplace dispute into a year long jail sentence. I do really like another poster's idea of also suing for back pay and reinstatement: apparently, childs hasn't violated any policies, nor has he been warned, and his bosses appear to be skipping steps - he may well still work there, technically.
Bail exists to a) manage flight risk and b) prevent repeat occurrences of the same crime.
No, that's what punishment is for. When you're at a bail hearing, you haven't been convicted, so preventing recurrence means nothing - they haven't proved you guilty.
He's not the innocent child that some are alluding to - he did willfully not give the passwords out.
Neither would you if your boss asked you to blab the keys to the kingdom to random unknown persons on a conference call. Even with what he did - hell, what I can do in the scope of my job - the worst he should expect without demonstrated malice is getting canned.
No they don't. Ratified treaties lead to laws to enact the treaty, but all are secondary to the c'tion. Your tacnuke might be handy except that the political result is so nasty that nobody is willing to use it. Sorry, but nukes aren't really that useful.
international treaties have no force of law. Since nukes have no military purpose save for stopping other nations from using them and are really pricey to keep (dangerous too), would that put them outside the purview of the 2nd amendment? Since the goal is to ensure that the citizenry has force of arms, I see the test of protection as a weapon's suitability for use by a military unit; currently nobody is given reign to use nukes in an engagement, right?
As you alluded to, the 1986 gun law screwed with the economics of automatics - absent this law, they should really only cost more due to the care and feeding angle: automatics aren't that hard. They also aren't too useful save for suppression fire, so I'm unhappy about the law, but see them as second pri objectives in the struggle for more liberal gun laws. The sniper-style hardware I prefer need not look scary, so bradyites don't seem to care.
from buckstix's site, it would appear that only rifled are referred to by inches, while smoothbores (like you'd use for deer) are referred to by poundage. I thought the cost was a bit high for this guy after having read buck's page - I think he spent something like $2k on his.
There is no technological justification for using all caps for body text that is required to be emphasized, and it could be said that doing so is actually rather nefarious, given that all caps is second only to poor color choice as a way to make text both noticeable and unreadable.
It could also be said that Lawyers are a conservative lot and still not used to the modern world, where you can just go and bold a section with little effort. Also, all caps survives cut and paste into notepad.
Do you really want the sort of customer that gets infected repeatedly? Some people have no shame. Lucky for us, most places have at most one broadband option (maybe 2), so they can go drag your competitor down.
That's the whole thing you're talking about - my knives will last a while - $15/yr is cheap for having good knives, so I don't pay a whole lot for them. I also cook, so it's important to have knives that work.
who said you have to get everything? I didn't. I said you can get the big stuff, and you can. Don't bother with everything - spend 10k on a smaller box or 3 and have it cycle through your network one slice at a time.
That'll do sod all - I run linux, so I'd have to install an approved audit tool (for the right to operate my own hardware? Jayzus!). Corporations will balk at having a requirement that all their servers phone home with unknown data. AV software gets regularly zorched by any halfway decent malware (the best way to confirm malware), so it won't keep you clean. Basically, the only real option is reactive behavior by your ISP - start spamflooding or fit the profile of a zombie and you get locked to a walled garden until you can demonstrate a clean bill of health. Basically, quarantine the sick and they'll work it out one way or the other.
In the USA, it'd be one more thing for the state to remove if you're deemed delinquent on child support. Don't pay? We'll make it so you can't drive and can't look for a job until you do. Never mind that you gotta eat...
Your ups has a rechargable lead acid battery in a sealed container. Watch batteries are usually NiMH or something like that, so they behave differently. I second the toxic sludge theory.
Apparently, education is secondary to teenage social skills when it comes to business after college.
Duh. Anyway, how do you get adult social skills if you're socially stunted from minimal exposure to your peer group during the formative years? You don't take calc before arithmetic.
Actually, forget all that - getting ahead in business is more about getting on with people than actually getting a good solution.

Please point to the illegal thing that Childs did.

If so, then Childs needs to send a 7 figure message right back to them: "Yeah, you got me, and that $5M bail was hilarious. Too bad it cost you $5M".
maybe I'd be more sympathetic to the city of they had decent public transit. No, BART doesn't count.

depending on the state, pistols.
meh, a .32 can kill you just as dead as field artillery. Much cheaper to feed, also.

word wrapping makes that stuff look like ass. Ever seen a deep usenet thread?

Doing their best to be parents. Before you piss all over them, how about you read some goddamn background?

so I can avoid annoying reporting requirements by running linux or calling my box a server? Cool.
The costs of automatically detecting that behavior are prohibitive, and would more than double the cost of internet access
IDS are already deployed, and they don't/can't find everything. They can, however, find a lot of stuff and swat the big stuff.

This was ten years ago. Why is it still happening?
It's that goddamn bobby tables - some parents think they're so clever...
Many teachers ARE paid over the summer.
Who cares? You get $x/year and it doesn't matter how things are laid out. it's not like it affects your ability to work in the summer.
