If you just find one of these and don't realize that it belongs to the FBI, and think "doesn't belong" and destory it (or just toss it in a dumpster), are you liable to pay for it when the FBI comes to get it back?
Yes and in some states, they can charge you with the crime of destroying their property.
I was wondering when someone was going to post this. Granted, I probably would have posted "Ummm, get a mac..." but yours is clearly more informative.:-)
You need better lawyers in that firm. If you were concerned about privacy, you should have realized that the US government has very few privacy protections it must follow for snooping on overseas data. So if you store your stuff in Europe, the US government can get to it without much worry. They may not be able to *use it against you or your clients* in a domestic criminal or civil trial, but they can get access to it with little in the way of liability.
This is where those people want to take this. How much animal abuse is by teenagers with a thing for cats and how many of these convictions are for farmers. How many are serious convictions and how many are you forgot some technicality when constructing the horse shelter? As it stands today, in MA, professional licenses are pulled when you are a felon, on a sex registry (you don't have to be a felon...), under a RO, owe child support, etc. By doing this it allows them to exert control over people who have served their time. These registries are bad news.
Apparently they estimate that it will take several hundred thousand dollars to run the registry annually and claim that the number of federal convictions for animal abuse in California is not large enough to levy enough fees on the convicted to fund the registry. In short, they want to levy a tax on pet food to pay for the registry.
You're an idiot if you believe this. This company is actively counting on and courting the hoplophobes in order to legislate their products into existence.
They don't freeze your account. They don't care what one happens to be spending their money on unless there is a valid LE warrant or judicial action. They act like a bank. They are a bank. They were created so gun owners could have an alternative to pay pal because our accounts were getting frozen every time we bought even the most innocuous gun related part like a new grip. Pay pal is pushing their morals on their users. Even after flea bay bought them and more ironically one can buy things off of flea bay that fall afoul of Pay Pal's TOS. Figure that one out.
This has been a long time coming. The key to survival will be those papers who know how to adapt. The WSJ has adapted under one model successfully. The NYT will fail if they pick up the WSJ model, though some similarities may work. What will end up happening is sites that provide free news will be doing it as a loss leader for other content. That news though will be vapid and likely filled with advertising bias and other impurities. Those behind larger pay walls like the NYT, Salon, etc will find limited niche markets of those wanting more substance in their news reporting.
Big block v. Small block. The will continue to have V8s, just smaller ones. The classic GM big block was the 454 ci. They will continue to have the 350 ci.
Look at gun laws in the states and the nightmare that most mfgs don't even bother with MA and CA and you will see what they are worried about. If this spreads, then there will be a whole metric crap ton of stupid, contradictory regs for them to follow.
I just looked through responses to you and can't find a decent one in the bunch that answered your actual question. The concept is called corporate personhood and dates back to the magna carta and later british common law era of legal codes, not the 1800s like others have stated. It only became an issue in the US in the 1800s but Britain had large corporations many centuries before the 1800s.
CP was put in place because there needed to be a corporation, and there needed to be laws applying to corporations. Ultimately corporations are collections of individuals who through collective efforts act as a single entity. But the liability is shared not amongst the investors/owners of the corporation but the corporation itself. But instead of rewriting every law in how it would apply to corporations, simply treating a corporate entity as a person made this easy. But it didn't. So many resources have been wasted trying to make this legal hack work, that it would have been simpler to rewrite the laws.
Most importantly, the major issue is now that your corporation is a legal person for purposes of fiduciary liability, why stop there. And that has been what occurred. They didn't stop there and now that collection of individuals who work together are getting rights meant for a single person to exercise but have the power and weight of massive numbers of persons.
In MA it will stick. Big time. I live here and they routinely let murders go after less than 10 years but will happily toss this guy in the clink for a year.
I believe it has something to do with the linux development model. Until something has been fully vetted, it remains an option for distros to use only if they see fit or a patch against the latest version. Why introduce kernel instability on desktops/servers when only mobiles benefit.

if amazon.com doesn't store card data, then how am i allowed to make purchases using existing saved card data?
They store data that is useless to others. They don't need to store the card's data, only data about their first transaction with you.
Amazing, considering Australia was founded by thieves, murderers and whores.
Apparently even thieves, murderers and whores have standards. Who would have thought it.

No, because _you_ have done nothing inside USA jurisdiction. It may mean Google has, though.
Even google's liability may be limited as they can claim common carrier.
It was supposed to be...
You left out people who self-abuse.
Oh crap, now that's going on my permanent record too...

In a state that is bankrupt no less...

Yup, this is /.

Yup. And the mandatory nature of it as well.

Why only on DC? Keeping AC power down is good too. Both environmentally and also from a heat dissipation perspective.
