PGP/GPG only ensures that you did send it, not that you did not. Since you can send e-mails without being signed, unsigned e-mails don't prove a thing.
Those that know you (or have your key) would know enough about you that any non-PGP e-mails would be suspect, but that's what,.000001% of the internet?
This only applies to hourly workers who get paid less than $41/hr. If you make more, you're exempt. If you're salaried, you're exempt. Unless the laws of CA are different from elsewhere (and I worked for two CA companies).
It's been a LONG time since I've been an hourly employee.

I'd heard mention of such a thing. There's two reasons why not:
1) The black box would have to have a much higher tolerance than airplanes (200k ft traveling at 18kmph).
2) (almost?) all the data that would be recorded by such a black box is already being transmitted to the ground. While the 30 seconds of garble (after voice comm. was lost) can tell more about what happened, it won't tell where the problem started. NASA has FAR more data about what happened than a black box can provide.
In addition, such a black box could only monitor a few systems. In the event of a micrometeorite hit (there is the suggestion this happened), it would not be known until it was too late unless the impact site was being montiored. If a monitored system was hit, then the ground would know about it as well as the pilots.
A few weeks ago I got a mailing from Earthlink saying I could save $5 by switching my cable internet service from MediAT&Comcast to Earthlink. Aside from the $5 difference, I could not find a reason to switch, and the $5 is tiny compared to what I'm paying for the service in the first place.
If Earthlink had a different TOS (I could have servers, for example), then I might consider switching. If the only change is I have to install Earthlink software instead of ATTBI software, then it's rather pointless, isn't it?
"an inoffensive expression that is substituted for one that is considered offensive".
Which describes the statement "best viewed in IE". Maybe you don't remember when HTML came around and people actually wrote pages. By hand. And you wrote it not knowing how the end user was going to view the page on their machine. Or what OS, or browser. And you didn't care, because HTML is SUPPOSED to separate the content from the presentation.
The fact that any web site has a 'best viewed in..' statement means it's broke and the web desingers use crutches instead of good web design.
Ahhh....no. That's still copyright theft. You may use that as an excuse to pirate software, but it won't protect you then the BSA comes along.
Fair use is more like using clips from a movie in a school report, quoting part of a book in a magazine article, etc. You're not using the entire work, only a reasonable portion of it. While fair use may be defined by some (myself included) to allow you to use media for purposes it was not originally designed (watch DVDs under Linux), few would say fair use allows you to actually steal works.
You get copyright protection for only as long as you use it. Mickey Mouse gets used today, then Steamboat Willie and the MM icon used by Disney gets protected.
Sony doesn't sell N'sync CDs anymore to retailers? Fine, their music is now public domain.
On the plus side, it allows vendors with known icons (the Mouse) to retain the legal proection they need, while allowing 'abandonware' to go where it rightfully belongs - the public.
Don't forget this would cover games too, solving that nasty question of older games that aren't being made anymore.
Hrmph. The latin (original) version of "The Mythical Man Month" covered the use of HeGi/plastic for memory. You could have saved yourself a lot of time and money.
It's property that can be passed on through inheritance. Much like Disney can sell The Mouse, copyright holders can pass their inventions on to others if they pass on.
Which bring up the interesting question: Are properties like these handled by estate tax, just like phyical property?
Wow...where to start with the problems with this one.
I guess the biggest problem is that you can't walk away from the table. Everyone pays. The $52 will still be showing up. If the tenth man gets beaten up, his wealth would be redistributed somehow between the other 9 (estate planning).
In addition, you're not taking a look at the percentage of said person's weath is paying, nor where the money for said meal is coming from. The richest person has 80% of the wealth of the 10. Should that person then not pay $80?
Don't forget the fact that this actually doesn't say a thing about 'trickle down' economics, which appears to be the latest economic plan. If the richest person pays $40 instead of $52, then the other 9 have to make up the difference. How do they benefit?
For the BSD stuff, yes. The System V stuff was written by AT&T, then it wound its way through....uhm..NCR, Novell, and SCO. Maybe a few other companies in random order.
I don't want to have to pay monthly fees for their service.
But you pay for cable service, yes?
I don't want to record every instance of "Whose Line..." available - I really only want the one that's on once a week at a particular time.
You can do that, at least with Tivo. Just say "first run only".
I don't want TiVo (or ReplayTV, or whoever) to tell my machine to occasionally record things I haven't asked for, whether its because of their attempts at marketing or a lame attempt at "profiling" my viewing habits.
*shrug* See below. I like the feature, as it grabs shows I only occasionally watch (TNG, Twiglight Zone, some HGTV programs, etc.)
I don't want these companies using my viewing habits for their gain, even if its anonymous and aggregate.
Fine. Opt out then. Tivo doesn't hide the fact that they know what you're watching and report it. But they do it in a way that you remain anonymous. Personally, I like it, as it allows networks to know what I'm watching. Just wait till Tivo announces that last week's episode of Junkyard Wars beat out whatever dreck was on Fox.
I get more noise from the whine when MediaT&Comcast compress their digital cable poorly, resulting in a high-pitched whine coming out of the audio of some stations (FoodTV for one, makes watching Good Eats a bit annoying).
Then again, I have my Tivo sitting behind a piece of glass that makes up the entertainment center. But even with the door open, it's hard to hear the drive, and I've got an un-modded Tivo.
No blackmail about it (assuming you're right). If you're legally an employee, then you are obligated to report it to the IRS/Labor department. Otherwise you're an accomplice.
The Hudson is VERY heavily polluted with PCBs dumped by GE over the years. It got to the point where the govt. (EPA) has told GE to dredge the river and clean it out. GE's response is that the PCBs are now 'safely' underneath the bottom of the river, and dredging will do more harm than good, as dredging will stir up all the crap and get it back into the river again.
On the one hand, you can't fault GE for this line of thinking, as much of the dumping was done before the harm in PCBs were realized. On the other, if you treat an area like a sewer, you should own up to doing some sort of cleanup.
All that being said, there will be a big ecological impact if you're digging up ships buried for 400 years, well below where the PCBs are.

I prefer reading "The Mythical Man Month" in the original latin. Brooks' translation leaves much to be desired.
Too bad they won't let Addressbook sync with Evolution. Shawn's attitude towards users is pretty poor.
tkc doesn't sell free software. They're commercial (closed source) apps.
