I guess 802.x wireless is not the same as hot plates and 4ft bongs as the majority of the comments from the original story claimed. Amazing that once the lawyers look at it they come to the same conclusion as every other organization that has taken a hard look at this issue. Just goes to show you/. spinners are not lawyers:)
No the University is a STATE AGENCY they have no legal authority no matter what lease or agreement you enter into to supersede FEDREAL LAW. Radio spectrum is a legitimate area of regulation for the federal government due to the interstate nature of radio. Even though the Federal government is subordinate to the State, the state has granted certain rights to the Federal government this included radio spectrum regulation. The State has NO AUTHORITY to make this demand as long as the access point is not connected to the University Network.
Check your wifes credit report. Look to see if someone has done a hard check on, if that person appears to be this bank then you have your self a lawsuit.
If they did that they ran a credit report without a permissible purpose and are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and owe you a $1000 civil penalty.
Most states will let you bring action in small claims courts under Federal law. Otherwise check with a laywer.

Title 47, Section 227(b) of the United States Code.
This law makes it illegal "to use any telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile machine." The term "unsolicited advertisement'' is defined as "any material advertising the commercial availability or quality of any property, goods, or services which is transmitted to any person without that person's prior express invitation or permission." Damages are set at actual monetary damages, or $500, whichever is greater. The court may increase the damages up to three times this amount if it finds the defendant "willfully or knowingly" violated this law.
Under federal law, these unsolicited faxes are illegal, but fax advertisers simply ignore the law because few people know about and exercise their private right of action.
Jurisdiction
State courts are expressly given jurisdiction under 47 U.S.C. 227(b)(3). The following federal court cases have found that state courts have sole jurisdiction under this law:
International Science and Technology Institute, Inc. v. Inacom Communications, Inc., 106 F.3d 1146 (4th Cir. 1997)
Chair King, Inc. v. Houston Cellular Corporation, 1997 WL 768609 (5th Cir. 12/15/97);
Foxhall Realty Law Offices, Inc. v. Telecommunications Premium Services, LTD, 975 F.Supp. 329 (S.D.N.Y. 1997)
I work security in low income high rise crack houz type places. The bulding i work in is coined "ghetto in the sky" by everyone in town. And i am hard at work xmas and xmas eve in exchange for new years day. Did arrest a crack head today though.
I work as a security manager, and am a part time linux geek. I think what is being overlooked here is that this guy appeard to be incharge of all MS security, computers being a small part of it. And if he was running MS's security operation he is a guy worth haveing in the white house. His information may not be the best on computer security because he knows what he is told by MS's security goonz. Now i dislike MS as much as any penguin loveing american but if your the head of security for a company the size of MS you know your stuff. In the security world computer threats are a concern but very small when compared to all other possable threats.
On the note of the value and profitability of the Ricochet network one can review the form 8-K filed July 20, 2001 (http://biz.yahoo.com/e/010720/mcomq.html).
Usually seven poletop radios are installed per square mile, one wired access point every ten square miles, and one network interface facility per 600 miles. They list a approximate cost of $2,000 per poletop radio. $180,000 per wired access point, and $550,000 per network interface facility. With a average cost per square mile of approximately $33,000.
The above facilities operating cost is approximately $10/mo per poletop radio, $2,000/mo per wired access point, and $10,000/mo per network interface facility. With wired communication costing approximately $900/mo per wired access point and $12,000/mo per network interface facility. Giving a approximate operating cost of $400/mo per square mile.
Metrocom receives approximately $25/mo in revenue per subscriber. They need 16 subscribers per square mile to cover the operating costs, and 44 subscribers per square mile to cover its operating and equipment costs.
The business model calls for a eight to one ratio of paying subscribers to active subscribers. This is based on ~12% of subscribers using the network at once, and each subscriber averaging 500 mb's a month of transfer.
I believe that the model is good but the main issue is with outsourceing the internet service. People I have talked to at WWC state that they are getting raises, and the outlook is good. If Metrocom had done its own internet service and received double the revenue I believe that would presently be on its way to profitability.
I just spoke with WWC, whom I get my Ricochet service through and they stated that the network will not go off-line. They stated that the network would remain in operation throughout the bankruptcy auction.
This makes seance, if the network went down then they would lose the 50,000 subscribers, thus making it a less attractive buy.
I disagree false arrest is defined as "an arrest made without legal authority" He was arrested by the police because of statements made to the police that led them to probable cause that Aaron Lutes had committed a crime.
Even if the a school official placed Lutes under a citizen arrest all the facts clearly show that the arrest was lawful for the purpose that the official reasonably believed that a crime was committed by Lutes. And as long as Lutes was delivered to a police officer in compliance with Washington Law there would be no violation of the law.
Also the school has the right to order Lutes to leave or be considered trespassing. In that case the parent would have to take custody of Lutes, if a parent was not available a police officer could take custody of the juvenile due to the juvenile's lack of a guardian to be released to.
If Washington Law provides for the prosecution of persons making false police reports then that would be the proper recourse in this matter.

Evil succeeds when good men stand by and do nothing.
The administrators of Elma High school have proved them selves incompetent once again. Bill Myhr the Elma School Superintendent made a comment that shocked me as a educator.
"Myhr said there are "other aspects" to the story, but the school district has chosen "not to bring them out at this time."
He did acknowledge that Aaron Lutes was disciplined last year for using a school computer to call up inappropriate Web sites." - The Seattle Times Company (Friday, December 15, 2000)
Myhr clearly told the paper that he was disciplined last year for using school computers for the use of inappropriate web sites. By doing so Myhr violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232G paragraph h (bellow).
(Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232g)
(h) Disciplinary records; disclosure
Nothing in this section shall prohibit an educational agency or
institution from -
(1) including appropriate information in the education record
of any student concerning disciplinary action taken against such
student for conduct that posed a significant risk to the safety
or well-being of that student, other students, or other members
of the school community; or
(2) disclosing such information to teachers and school
officials, including teachers and school officials in other
schools, who have legitimate educational interests in the
behavior of the student.
The entire section can be found at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/20/ chapters/31/subchapters/iii/parts/4/sections/secti on_1232g.html
Now I know that if you violate the rights assigned to a student in FERPA that case law supports for damages to be paid by the person who violated a students rights (Myhr) and the employer (Elma School District)
The basic principle of FERPA is that if you are a educator, or a employee of a educator public or private that the release of any information on the student other then what is prescribed by law is going to get you sued, big time.
Aaron Lutes has certain rights as a student that are spelled out in federal law, Bill Myhr violated his rights.

The idea of a fleet of geostationary orbiting spy satellites is a good idea but diplomatically impossible. Everyone would bitch and it would cause lots of trouble. It would not be a system that could be done in secret. Everyone would know and every other country would bitch there way into a arms race.
But I think what would work is the application of the Trojan horse theory to your concept. Lets say that the GPS satellites are really NRO satellites with GPS as the cover. Or maybe Iridium, that would explain the DoD's sudden desire to sing a exclusive use contract and the original owners of Iridium strongly suggesting the sale to a group of under biding airline executives. One must wonder....
And anyway everyone knows that the aurora spyplane is just a cover for the governments secrete meetings with UFO's to learn the secrets of making spy/nav satellites.
I have seen two many "child prodigies" that have a lack of "good" social skills and when they get to high school or college they resort to drug and alcohol abuse to find acceptance in their group, and escape the pressure of the adults watching over them.
With this you not only run a good chance of ruining you life, but you lose all you have learned in just a few short months. If you don't believe this ask any one who has had chemical problems about their memory of pre-use stages.
I think understanding of scientific basics is important to a intelligent child, but so often these children do not learn good social skills or a understanding or morality. Now I am not saying you should preach to a him but I believe a discussion of current events is the best way. Then you cover communication in non-technical fields and teach him other needed skills.
I can say I did not straighten my life out tell I learned to play by the rules of life and society, not the rules of a programing language that were learned many years earlier. And what do you know I decided to be a street cop instead of a scientist, although I am still a geek.
you can complain about the price of Ricochet, but it is very much in the market. When you have At&t wireless charging $50/mo for unlimited CDPD at 2.4-19.2kbps (more on the 2.4 side). Ricochet's $75/mo 128kbps is well priced in the market and could be called cheep when compared CDPD. If you look at the differences between CDPD and Ricochet has the clear advantaged.
I would like to see Ricochet's price at $30/mo, it would save me a couple bucks. But they are still in the middle of a huge network build out. Although there network uses the un-lincsenced ISM band and a new microcell technology they have been able to build there network at a fairly low cost.
A report from Adventis compares all 3G cellular technologies (Report can be found at http://www.ricochet.com/ricochet_advantage/resourc e_center/3g_comp_rev.pdf).
The report makes the choice clear for wireless data between now and 2005.

Ever wonder why it took so long for the cop to come back with your speeding ticket? Dam CDPD modems are slow though...
The reason they fake the color is so that the sheep of the world do not become upset that it is not that red of a plannet.
