I've produced 16 people for deposition in one month. All were plaintiffs in a Reduction In Force / Older Worker's Benefit Protection Act suit. Just last month (June) I had four depositions lasting longer than 8 hours. (FWIW I have a Masters in Endocrine Physiology (Masters only program) and I do understand lab data output though I was working on a PDP 11 when I took that Master's Degree).
IF what we were considering here was a reasonable path to off-site backups/disaster planning/remote access at high bandwidth - I could easily see how only 3-6 attorneys engaged in moderate litigation could generate 5T/mo.
What do bandwidth caps portend for small business - you don't have to be an attorney to create media - consider advertising firms, contractors, real estate - all could easily top the cap without being able to plan ahead. Market forces drive the demand. If you just created the Tesla vehicle and gas went to $20.00/gal - you had better have the bandwidth and data to feed your potential customers what they want.
How about off-site, real-time backups for a small law firm? I pay $200.00/mo for 1.5meg up and down with no caps. Amazon's Jungle Disk might be worthwhile if I could manage 5 terabytes or so....a month.
Anybody else know what a video deposition looks like? 8-10 hours of.mov files spanning multiple DVDs. One person's depo can generate that 8-10 gig of data and the average case has 12 depos.
Hell, yeah! Burma, Somalia, Yugoslavia, German Jews in 1938... let the nationals deal with their own internal problems, internally.
*boggle*
If Europe had not had the interlocking defense pacts in place then the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand would not have triggered the 1st WW. If the Weimar Republic were not so heavily taxed with post-war penalties Hitler wouldn't have been able to come to power.
Yugoslavia was the product or WWII and Tito - Balkanization has taken place again and today those nation-states are pretty much what they were before WWI.
Burma/Myanmar has been in or at war since 1824. Not my problem.
The Somali disaster is also, not my problem.
Now, when the Japanese bomb us and the Nazis sink shipping - then we have a war.
If we put some actual work into the UN - and allowed a rational power share - then perhaps an independent military solution could arise for Somalia - but not the others.
This guy was NOT a student. It was very clear to everybody that he was Savak. I should have sued that University for permitting them access to dangerous substances when they knew who was an enforcer and who was a real student. Some, small part, of my Thyroid died as a result of this cavalier attitude on the part of the money-hungry administration.
My youngest sister had/has a friend whose name I can't exactly spell - Feederzehy - a brilliant young woman. They completed their baccalaureates together at UC Boulder and both went on to become physicians - but Feederzehy had to work some deal to remain in the US. I believe that she practices medicine in Iowa these days.
Haven't you read any of the records released by the Russians? Nothing would have stopped the collapse and the internal strife of that failed "union" had worn the nation so thin that what we did mattered little.
Reagan's unprecedented arms escalation was the final straw - but he was far from the guy who defeated the USSR - he just happened to be in office when they self destructed (sort of like what the US is doing right now).
In 1977 Jimmy Carter set us on the road to energy independence - and if we had followed his lead we wouldn't need to import oil. King Ronnie the First dumped that series of programs right after he broke up PATCO. So, today we have $4+/gal gasoline, no unions left with any power and the average family hasn't seen an increase in real purchasing power since 1980.
BTW, try a spell checker and using shorter sentences.
I'm old enough to have been in college when the Shah was deposed. Just prior to the revolution we had Iranian Secret Police (the Savak) all over campus. One was a gentleman "named" Salah who was given fake credentials and joined our lab - he was supposed to be working towards his Ph.D. in Endocrine Physiology - but had not clue one - consequently he contaminated our lab, our lab's Prof, me and two other grad students with I-131.
I was the lucky guy to show "hot" first since health physics always ran a survey after we ran an Iodination process. The problem was that I did my work in a cold room and all of my materials were sequestered there - but my Thyroid and then our lab showed hot in a routine post-experiment radiation survey. It clearly wasn't my Iodine that had contaminated the lab when 100% of it remained in the cold room where I ran my assay.
Salah had faked an experiment and had not reported his use of the radioisotope - so, my hot Thyroid lead to the discovery of Salah's real reason for being "on campus" and he pulled a vanishing act. That was in the fall of 1977 or early winter 1978.
I knew quite a few Iranians at the time and this guy was bad news all around. After I showed up hot I heard about other "fakes" planted around campus - all pursuing advanced degrees and all backed by the Iranian government. They were there to intimidate Iranian nationals suspected of disloyalty and possibly to arrange for things to happen to their targets. This was a major state university with thousands of foreign students in undergrad, advanced and professional programs.
If we agree to quit f**king with people around the world we might just have peace and, even a little prosperity.
You go fight your own, private, war. The rest of us like the idea of letting the nationals deal with their internal problems, internally.
But for Charlie Wilson and his private aid program to the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan when under Soviet control - we wouldn't have had 9/11.
Rudyard Kipling was all for preemptive war, until his son was killed in WWI. Try some fact-based research before defending the (*soon to be indicted*) actions of "W."
The RIAA and the MPAA go after CD/DVD knockoffs - physical copies. It is an IP case and it involves illegal knockoffs. They have standing to act under Title XVII.
"There is no such thing as a private prosecutor for a case of that sort: no one but the government has legal "standing" for it"
Many of these cases can be entirely contingency fee - no fee if no recovery.
Where do you get your idea that *most* thieves are poor? Most thieves are stupid, but usually have assets.
In one of my cases I took the judgment and placed a lien on the guy's house (part of a satellite television fraud) and about 2 years later he tried to refinance and we got our judgment + 9%/yr interest. I also just collected on a 12 year old judgment when the judgment debtor died and we collected against the estate - in Georgia - half way across the nation from where we won the case. You may not see the funds right away, but you can collect most judgments.
There are also law school clinics that do these kinds of cases to help their students get experience - there is a real, licensed, attorney heading up the clinic and s/he is responsible to the client.
You are a CRIMINAL IDIOT. You are clueless and you are proud of it. Nice work, fool. Ever hear of a "chain of evidence?" The buyer may well lead police/private lawsuit to the thief.
Supporting the assassin of President Lincoln makes you a real ugly, vicious and disgusting warped puppy. A damn shame that you have the right to post hate speech - but lack the sense not to do so.
Why don't you go to your local Klan meeting and enjoy the fireworks?
Don't let it be stolen to start with. Keep backups. That's simple. Own a Mac and use Filevault - they will have an expensive paperweight. Buy some insurance. All are easy, fairly cheap and LEGAL.
But, nothing says more about how you feel about another person than a transverse slash across the abdomen dropping their intestines. Sharp Knives are the right way to go. Try using any one of these: http://www.elitecustomknives.com/
Believe me, these knives will do the job and the police will admire your taste - but they will still arrest you.
Wire fraud. Swift. Enjoy the jail time. Banks do have the power (and, the requisite number of losses) to have a $2k theft with wire fraud/identity theft prosecuted.
Yep, your life expectancy in prison is less than 3 years, short eyes. A dumber idea I couldn't imagine - do you really think that the Judge hearing the case would believe that you were collecting criminal images to upload to a stolen computer? Pull the other one! You get the stay in jail and you get to be shanked and beaten to death by your fellow prisoners.
A thief cannot convey good title. The person with the stolen computer is in exactly the same position as the person who finds him/herself with counterfeit money. SOL
Then again, you think an assassin (Booth) is admirable. Perhaps you ought to spend a minute or so thinking before posting...
Not so. Not that I'm supporting the things that they do, but the RIAA and MPAA counsel bring lots of civil lawsuits in cases where there is a criminal violation as well...
That's just one example. Lawyers routinely take these cases on where there is enough money to make the work worthwhile.
It is a shame that small claims courts can't allow computer theft victims the right to subpoena IP address information - but, the fact is that SC Courts are very limited in their powers and the power to subpoena an IP address record lends itself to abuse.

That worked out so well in 1953....
But, we (the US & GB) put the Shah's father in power through a coup in 1953 - toppling the elected Prime Minister, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh. Feel free to read how and why that little operation was accomplished here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Reza_Pahlavi#Oil_nationalization_and_the_1953_coup and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d'état
But for our intervention, where would Iran be today?

Oh? Here is a famous example - RICO - try reading the computer crime section of Title XVIII after you read RICO.

(1) ILLEGAL.
(2) IF YOU GET CAUGHT YOUGO TO PRISON
(3) OTHER PRISONERS WILL KILL YOU
It is a piece of property. If you have control of it - destroy your data and lock the BIOS and forget about it.

And we have another DARWIN AWARD WINNER!
Merely having the prohibited images that you would upload gets you the conviction and fun of being beaten to death by your fellow prisoners.
THINK before you post - it makes things so much more intelligent.

Canada follows common law standards and breaking a criminal law would still permit a civil action for negligence per se.
