If you set it up such that mails from, say, VeriSign are sent directly to , then you're DOING IT WRONG and you deserve what you get if a mail accidentally gets dropped because Bob got fired last year.
One obvious solution is to run your own mail server and create <certificates@example.com>, a forward to <bobfromaccounting@example.com> and finally a bit of logic such that a big scary warning is sent to the administrator account for the mail server if the forward should ever fail. Whatever you do, the account that the CA is sending mail to should NEVER have to change for any reason and it should always be assigned to some person in the company.
MS's employees in Ireland might be criminally liable in the EU if they transmit the data outside EU borders. They might really really like Microsoft, but to the point of being willing to go to prison for the company? I think not.
We could potentially end up in a situation where the main branch of MS screams at the EU branch from across the Atlantic and no one over here is willing to comply.
This discussion needs a soundtrack and we're so lucky that the perfect one already exists. I'm of course talking about one of the most "what do you mean it's not awesome?" pieces of music ever made, Canvas Bags by Tim Minchin.
And facebook does business in Italy? So Italian courts have jurisdiction over facebook. They can argue US 1st amendment all they want, it's just not relevant.
The worst kind of 3rd party javascript is the stuff from *.cloudfront.net, where * appears able to be any random string. It (and amazon web services) are the bane of trying to keep a neat whitelist of domains for NoScript.
Is it best because a user making a legitimate parody or review is likely to get a strike on their account because the automated ContentID system cannot tell the difference between a straight copy and what ought to be fair use?
Is it best because hateful crazies can get your account closed with a flood of phony copyright complaints?
Importing UK Blu-rays into USA? Did you also import a player for them? Otherwise, I don't see how you're not in violation of federal law (i.e. the DMCA) whenever you're watching one of them (Blu-ray region codes).
Clause 1. If you deliver software with complete and buildable source code and a license that allows disabling any functionality or code by the licensee, then your liability is limited to a refund.
It is corruption because whenever money and opinions intermingle there is always a shift in perception on the part of the recipient. We humans are social animals. We cannot help but think "he helped me, I should help him".
Even if it doesn't sway the recipient's opinions, it causes the perception that it has. Part of the reason why Congress has such a low approval rating (lower than the US going communist for crying out loud!) is that people perceive that representatives are bought and paid for by special interests and whatever personal opinions and principles they might have had have been sold for filthy lucre long ago.
No. The patent system grants monopolies in order to encourage people to share the knowledge that goes into the things they invent. The fact that there is money to be had from licensing patents is an incentive against people locking up their inventions as trade secrets that die with their inventors.
Of course with software patents that sort of doesn't work because you can keep the actual implementation of your idea under wraps, so society doesn't really benefit much from granting a monopoly in this case.
Mozilla still haven't fixed Firefox to be able to handle automatic updating of language packs. Every time I update Firefox here, it reverts back to the language I installed it in (the rest of my family isn't as good as English as I am), so I have to manually go and get the newest en-GB.xpi.

I... eh... what? Oracle owns MySQL, not PostgreSQL

"Ascending some stairs," you say? E-LE-VATE!

And so another salvo was fired in the war on general purpose computing.
Sometimes I wish we lived the Schlock Mercenary universe where people could be executed for grand spamming.
If you don't want your images to float, then don't use the figure environment. The whole point of figure, table and other floating environments is that they float. If you don't want it, just use \includegraphics. See also: TeX.SX: How to influence the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX?
Don't. Put. Periods (or spaces) in filenames for anything to be read by TeX. Stick to [0-9a-zA-Z_].

I can get a diploma in Zerg showing I can drone hard? Awesome...
*Reads submission again*... oooh. That kind of drones. That's a lot less awesome.
"Press 'X' To Not Die"? WARNING: TVTropes link!
And that map isn't even complete. It's missing some 100 mile radius disks centred at inland international airports.
That's a fixable problem. For example, you could read this article by phk in ACM: https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2030258
In particular note:
Typical noob...
You earned yourself a Useless Use of Cat Award!
Yes. People would do well to read Bob the Angry Flower's guide to the apostrophe... you idiots!
I really like the name that phk (of FreeBSD and Varnish fame) came up with for permissions required for apps like that: chernobyl bits.
It has a really nice ominous and "this is wrong and you shouldn't do it" ring to it.

The thing is... I don't think a free and open internet is possible together with strong, enforcable and actively enforced copyright laws.

Have you ever heard of ASCAP?
