Actually, it looks like this is only in the past couple of years - the hot water discharge (well, it warms the river) changes the ecosystem and in at least one case led to fish wintering by the plant, while the coal plants have been cheaper because of the absurd amount of red tape associated with going nuclear. Granted, they could also save cash by getting one plan for a plant approved and building 300 of them, but that requires some work at a federal level. Now that the greenies are more mature and some of them see the consequences of their actions (whatever they may be), they are being more pragmatic and offering less resistance.
Then you are going to be asked to sign a release for the photo (if you're recognizable) or else you can sue the publisher.
I think too many photographers aren't considerate about these feelings they cause and cop an attitude of "I'll take any damned pic I like and there's nothing you can do about it so screw off" attitude.
Sounds like you have some image problems. Anyway, this is probably a result of photographers being harassed by random jerks for taking pictures
if I went to your house, walked through your yard, and started taking pictures through the windows of your house, is it okay because I'm on public property?
No, it's private. I haven't invited the general public into my front yard, so it isn't a public space either.
f you're having a party and it looks like a public place, does that make a difference?
Depends on if you were invited.
The other posters are right. The mall is private property, you have no "right" to be there, and they can ask you to leave at any time.
Not quite - the mall is private property, a public space, and depending on the state, they may not be able to kick you out unless you're disrupting the place.
What if they have signs up at the entrances saying "no photography allowed"?
Then they have a policy against photography. Depending on the laws, they may not even be able to enforce it - see swillden's post upthread, but they can't stop you taking pictures, just kick you out.
As a parent, or as a female, how would you feel if from 50+ feet away someone was standing with a telephoto lens taking shots of you, or your children?
Who cares? As you say, it's legal, and there aren't that many pervs photographing kids - it's mostly people like me who happen to get a kid in frame now and then, but generally not on purpose.
I'd rather get some uranium reactors online and forget about the coal. Greenies are so afraid of nuke plants that they blocked any being built for quite some time. Coal sucks, but hydro is frequently disruptive and wind is too small to be practical; nuke plants are great for baseline energy, and may be enough for everything other than peak demand.
Personally, I think nuke + solar thermal is a winning combination, since peak demand is frequently tied to AC usage.
So I'm responsible for someone ignoring a defect on the car I bought (or covering it up) and also for companies using their leverage to screw me out of legally guaranteed rights? You've got to be a troll.
I would agree that he probably shouldn't be doing this in his basement, but it hardly warrants a raid - much better to give him 30 days to relocate somewhere where the cost of mistakes is lower, like a rented space in an industrial park or somewhere in the sticks.
Are you going to raid my house if I have too much Boron? How about a no knock raid because you think I have 50 lbs of gunpowder? Seems like that would end badly.
Think corporate buyers - if it's my job to buy cars for Enterprise or set up company cars for the execs in some corp, I'll be dealing with someone I trust.
Or they could have questioned the people in the parking lot - something simple that at least shows them making an effort (and making it harder for the blackhats to boot).

and what if they submit a big pile of code? That takes time to review, so why bother if they aren't proven? It's not like time is infinite.
Gold is not money - money may be exchanged for goods and services, while gold must first be sold, then the resulting money used. Gold is a commodity.

But what if it's used for a magazine cover?

Nope, this one's a 17-40 - short and fat.
Hint: all the examples so far have dealt with the USA. Laws vary by country.

you can blame the greenies for the coal plants - they're terrified of teh nuke plants, but coal is just fine.
Oh.. and the person who stole the gun and laptop, they got busted for "possession of stolen property" instead of theft or anything like that
Probably because they couldn't prove it was the same guy that broke into your van.
buy on bad news, so long as you think it won't kill the company.
personally, I like naval gazing - battleships are just plain cool.
Ahh, you're just another freeper. Guess I can ignore you, then.

hopefully, he'll double box his equipment next time.

It has no legal status as a trademark, copyrightable thing, or trade secret. Ergo, not IP.
If, by is, you mean 'has for 100 years', then yes.

Broadcasting your SSID is only relevant if you have no traffic. If you have traffic, your SSId shows up anyway.
Yeah, well I pretty much never hear about gardening leave in the USA. Its always "we wont pay you, but you cant go work for him either".
