Actually, I believe the person bringing suit has to show they were harmed in some way, but IANAL. So, if they lost your data and somebody used that to steal money from you via identity theft, then you've been harmed. If they merely lost the data and nothing bad has happened to you? I dunno. If I were sitting on a jury, I'd have a hard time finding in your favor.
I'm sure for any ones you propose, the folks here can point out all sorts of corner cases in which they would not work / make sense.
Where do you draw the line? If I lose my laptop that has 18,000 valid email addresses stored in it, and somebody gets that data, should I be liable? How about the person who has a database of, oh, a couple hundred addresses?
What about addresses and phone numbers? My contacts database has about 2000 of those.
You cannot discriminate because of race, creed, color, sex, place of national origin, and (in many parts of the US) sexual preference/orientation. Anything else is pretty much wide open.
If you say/do anything online that might make people question your judgement, you're screwing yourself over jobwise.
I've run two mailing lists for 13 years. There's not a year that goes by when I don't get somebody writing me, begging me, to take something they said out of the archives. What's witty at 21 can look pretty stupid at 34. Also, what's considered PC changes over time. So even though what you posted way back when was pretty tame stuff back then, it might be incendiary now. And it will get taken out of context.
Not if you're paying the bills you don't. You want a lawyer who can be the most effective in the shortest period of time. In almost all cases, that means a lawyer who is not being an asshole.
Criminal attorneys, at least those in front of a jury, will try very hard not to appear assholic as it can taint the jury against their client (or the state as the case may be).
Asshole civil attorneys will cost you lots of money because it takes more time to argue like an asshole than it does to negotiate in a reasonable manner.
I used to travel internationally about 30% of the year. When going to a non-English speaking country, 10+ hour flight each way plus a one week stay, that would be 3 or more books for me. If you ran out of reading material, you were screwed (unless you were in a major city where you could buy an english book for a mere 2-3x US retail price).
Once you start travelling heavily, you start seriously looking at ways to lighten your load. 3 books weigh a lot (and if you are a heavy reader, chances are you're reading more hardcover than paperback, further increasing weight).
I moved to my PDA. It took about 2 books worth of reading to get used to it. Now, I won't buy a book unless it's in ebook format. Fall asleep reading? It remembers where you left off. Want to read in bed but you SO wants the lights out? It has it's own built-in light. Sitting in a boring PTA meeting? You can be very discreet.
The good ones aren't. The ones more interested in separating you from your money can be.
Two of the sharpest corporate counsels that I've worked with in my career were two of the niceest people you'd ever want to know. My personal attorney of many years was also a really nice guy regardless of which side of the table you were on.
You can't extrapolate from one intern who was hired despite having sent out a stupid email. TFA implies he spent the rest of the summer kissing ass and working his butt off.
As for Abadala, she's a trust-fund baby. I suspect she'll learn the hard way that professional networking is extremely important in a services career.
Many people have been passed over for hire for something stupid they posted to Usenet or an Internet forum. Googling a person before hire to learn as much about them as possible is standard practice these days.
Well, I can assure you that, for instance, the 250W one that was the size of two packs of smokes and was part of a suitcase sized device had no coolanol nor any pumps.
It's not hard to develop a fanless 300W PSU (or even more, if you're so inclined). I started my career in Silicon Valley working for a company that made small lots of custom power supplies for "the government": everything from teeny low power jobbies to big HV monstrosities in the KW range that drove TWT's. In the 5 years I spent there, we probably designed over 125 power supplies and nont one had a fan and all had very high MTBFs. The key is using high-grade, mil-spec components that can run hot (what were called JAN, JANTXV, and JANS back in the day), and using monster heat sinks. They are, however, not cheap. If you want to run at 105 deg C, you pay accordingly. ~
Have you tried it? Or more importantly, have you tried both? The look and feel is nothing like a Mac app nor like the Windows app. It is missing several features that are present in the Windows version (like the "transfer" transaction to name one I use about 30 times a month). Personally, it reminds me of a Mac app, circa 1992.
Have you actually used DVDDecrypter and DVD Shrink or are you just naming what are supposed to be equivalents? I suspect the latter, but perhaps your experiences in comparing them have been very different from mine.
There are some dvd rip&burn apps for the Mac, but noe that I have tried come close to these two Windows apps. Quicken for the Mac is a waste of good disk space. And neither GnuCash nor Moneydance come close to offerring the full feature set of Quicken for Windows.
I have migrated and consolidated all of my Windows/Linux/Mac stuff onto a new iMac. The aforementioned 3 apps, keep me from shutting off the Windows machine.
because that's what a lot of the budgeting and forcasting stuff is built on. Think those bean counters are going to take a flyer on some new app, learn a new way to write macros and see what happens? In every company I've worked for, the finance department is an extremely busy place.
One way of getting more of them at your company is to find a small company that is made up almost entirely of "best and brightest" and buy the damn thing.
eBay owns Skype. eBay knows product marketing. Skype is not run by a 19-yr old kid with a manipulative uncle pulling the strings. The minute eBay sees they can capture more market share by "goign open", they will.

Yes.
Do you have any other stupid questions?
I was thinking about, "Did your mother have any children that lived", but I'll settle for:
What if somebody steals my laptop? Am I still liable? OK, what if they break into my home and steal my desktop computer?
The victim of what? If the event that's going to victimize me hasn't happened, how am I a victim?

Oh, don't worry. If the position's important enough they still have people like Kroll
Well, he was hired in 1994. Google wasn't even a Hershey Bar in its dad's back pocket then.

Why, will the rules of double-entry accounting change? It doesn't time out, if that's what you're implying.
As for Quicken, I never much liked it anyway, but to each his own.
I don't like it per se, as much as I like what it does for me.
Have you actually used DVDDecrypter and DVD Shrink or are you just naming what are supposed to be equivalents? I suspect the latter, but perhaps your experiences in comparing them have been very different from mine.
Why would you pay for your own shackles?
You've obviously never dated a gal like the one I dated when I was 28.
I'm still using 2005 with no problems.
DVDDecrypter, DVDShrink, Quicken.

I loved Beany & Cecil (the seasick sea serpent) as a kid. Yes, I am old.
Doesn't the 700w run Windows? Don't crush your competitors, make them pay you money for every product they sell. Game, set, and match to Microsoft.
