What should happen is that the "genius" who thought this up should be convicted and sent to prison for 30 years (or whatever they threatened Aaron Swartz with), for breaking the CFAA.
What actually will happen is that $BIGCORP will get a trivial slap-on-the-wrist fine.
You mean the charred ruins of what USED to be your house, along with the smashed up houses of your neighbors (since there wouldn't be a flat area for it to land and stay standing).
When the 1994 Northridge quake hit the San Fernando Valley, she was there asking, "Why is all the money going to the Valley, and none to South Central?"
Not quite. The Constitution is a limit on the powers of the us.gov.
Murder is illegal, not unconstitutional. Unless the killer is acting in a government capacity, in which case the 4th Amendment might apply (see #blacklivesmatter for details, though).
I was working for a major defense contractor. Fortune 500 (probably Fortune 100).
Manager came in and told me that over his objections, I was being transferred to the Project From Hell. Before I even had a chance to think, the first words out of my mouth were, "I quit!". And my immediate reaction after that was "Oh my G-d... what the hell have I just done?"
Lucky for me, I was fairly senior, and the two other guys who were supposed to go to said project (who were senior to me) had identical reactions.
The three of us wound up in a meeting with the division's VP of Engineering. We didn't quit, we didn't have to transfer, and (fortunately), our careers weren't ruined (probably because the PfH had a reputation throughout the division).

If you used Spotify, you were NEVER a customer of theirs, you were their PRODUCT.
Why the DOJ? Who do you think is charged with enforcing the criminal penalties (5 years/$500K) in the DMCA?
47 in Trek seriously predated Abrams. Joe Menosky started it with TNG.
I spend up to maybe 2 hours documenting, making TPS reports, tickets and work reports for that single change.
You forgot the new cover sheet for the TPS report. So if you could remember it next time, that would be great...

Once again, Betteridge's Law of Headlines is correct!
No. I will not buy an Xbox One S, or whatever the hell it's called.
Isn't that the MafIAA's business model?

As of 2011, C++ programmers refer to it as "Nullptr Island"
Maxine Waters is an idiot.

Ask those who were turned away from that adult VR expo in Japan.

You misunderstand. In their language, "innovation" = "control of everything"
Apparently that was the name our quality metrics guys used.
Look for "Defect Injection" instead.
1988 called. It wants its movie back.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
The practice is known as "bug farming", and has been around since at least the mid-80s.
I learned it when I was in college in '84.
I have to second this. I work for a small (formerly family-owned) company.
My wife got ALS. They did everything possible to accommodate me. They realized that company loyalty is a two way street.

HP is only MOSTLY dead...
Remember, Sheldon spent two-and-a-half hours on hold with Hewlett-Packard customer service just to complain about their customer service.
Courts. That's the way it's supposed to work. Using bureaucrats and other organizations
for that job is madness.
But that whole "evidence" thingy is a pain. It's so much easier just to ask ICANN to do it.
What if Joe the Revolutionary and Bob the Bomber are the only people in a particular train car. Do they then have a reasonable expectation of privacy?
