As long as they are actually stealing the code ie. taking the code and denying the original owner access to that code. Otherwise they are just copying that code.
They could of course be charged with theft of the item upon which the code is stored be it paper, floppy disk, USB drive, electricity and bandwidth if electronically copied.
Then there is the extent of code or in this case a unique algorithm use to automate stock purchases.
Then the is the whole question of how many copies were reproduced, if it is just one copy, if the copy still exist. So if I copy code and the destroy that copy, have I still copied code. The onus really seems to be prove I have a copy of that code, rather than circumstantial evidence that I might have copied that code.
Ruby has to be the best learning program, from the interactive Ruby shell, with immediate execution of lines of code to very compact and easy to read code.
One click in a browser and he can be coding in Ruby in seconds.
Basically not only having driven vehicles but also having been a pedestrian and a cyclists, I listen for tire noise not engine noise. At car-parking speeds vehicles turning generate a lot of tyre noise from the front wheels.
When it comes to driving I off course only listen out for sirens or horns and rely upon vision.
Driving an electric vehicle I would not want to waste any electricity on pointless sound generating devices. Things I would prefer would be solar panels on every horizontal surface for that extra free energy boost rather than wasting energy.
If they are evacuating from snail mail threats, than focusing on email seems pretty pointless. Of course once it starts happening a fair bit, then copycats get in on the act and you have chaos, especially if even random notes are being reacted too.
The real threat sadly, is mass shootings and they never give warnings of those. That's down to gun control and the US has no hope of ever getting any reasonable laws in that regard.
It really comes down to passing the responsibility along to a regulating authority to validate genuine threats from fake threats and whether or not to evacuate the building, so perhaps in the US dump the evacuate or not decision on the FBI rather than local administrators deciding whether or not to evacuate.
This could become quite the popular foreign email attack otherwise with buildings being evacuated everyday of the year.
That of course is the lie. Nobody is talking about banning nuclear weapons, no action is being taken against countries who have them, no sanctions are being applied to hoarders of them and nothing being done about countries who lie about and hide their existing weapons.
Nope this is about Iranian oil, the US military Industrial complex and the Israeli's government desire to dominate the middle east.
What is being done or said about the Israeli nuclear stockpile currently at between 200 and 300 warheads, obviously that number would indicate their use is for targets well beyond the middle east, what are those additional targets.
Sorry but the rule is, if you have nuclear weapons than you do not get a seat at the nuclear non-proliferation table and you should already be facing sanctions. Weapons designed to irradiate, blow up and then set on fire every man, women, child born and unborn in a geographic region and then render that region uninhabitable, already set you and yours apart from the rest of humanity.
In this case Israel has done everything possible in order to make Iran feel threatened by imminent attack up to and including the use of nuclear weapons. Israel has been the driver of violence in the region. As for the US, their efforts are a joke, they are just Israel's whipping boy sent stumbling from pillar to post by Israel control over US elections, with blatantly corrupt campaign contributions and treasonous mass media attacks.
The US itself triggered off unclear weapon proliferation when they promoted 'FIRST STRIKE' use of nuclear weapons. This specifically designed by the US military industrial complex to promote the proliferation of nuclear weapons so that more money will be spent on the defences against them.
This is about pinching pennies to spend pounds. Money always will have to be spent to maintain roads. You either spend a little along the all of the time or you end up spending 10 or even a hundred times as much at irregular intervals having to complete rebuild roads and footpaths. So not tax simply incompetent management.
I'll bet he will have assured his son there will be no problem in twisting the letter of the law around in order to achieve a innocent verdict. Tricky stuff like the final approach. Although Zimmerman was following his victim whilst armed, it can still be argued who made the final approach and initiated confrontation and who stood their ground. That Zimmerman was fearful can be demonstrated by his current state of mind as an indication of his behaviour at that time. Next argument, who was the more physically capable and physically able to cause significant harm and even kill the other if both are unarmed. If Zimmerman were unarmed would he have had to flee for fear of life and limb?
No let's rather tackle the issue of 1+1=2, how can you claim that true. 1 what + 1 what = 2 what . For example 1 apple plus 1 worm does not equal two any things it equals no apples plus a whole bunch of worms. Just like 1 bucket of phosphorous plus 1 bucket of water does not equal 2 buckets of matter, it equals one explosion and one less elitist scientist. So I refute the theory that 1+1=2 and all the theoretical mathematics based up it and when it comes to grading my stuff, I will tell you what it is worth.
Scientific theories are not philosophical arguments nor are they factual because they only define what should happen under certain circumstances, not what will happen, as unforeseen circumstances can affect the outcome ie idiot creationist can knock over the bunsen burner part way through the experiment, setting the lab on fire and causing the experiment to fail (although that technically could be foreseen as a likely result by allowing a idiot creationist in the lab during a complex experiment in the first place).
It's a trap, in this case the patent first legislation simply opens you up to a massive civil suit to regain your invention from favoured corporations who will get first peek at competition entries. Along the lines of, 'Shit that one looks good, don't publish it, pretend it was lost in the mail, while I patent it, let the schmuck spend a couple of hundred thousand dollars in court trying to get back 'MY' patented invention'.
Those competitions had better be pretty bloody public and inventions submitted had better be protected from patent cross-filing, otherwise bugger off.
You picked the right word there, 'DISCLOSURE'. No body really gives a crap if you astroturf on behalf of your company as long as you disclose your interest. You can stretch the truth and exaggerate a little as long as you do it in your name and disclose your interest.
Don't hide your direct interests in the product or company you are promoting, do go overboard in spreading the message and there's not a problem.
However when you choice to deceive right from the get go, hide or lie about your interests, run multiple accounts, flood the place with lies, well, the expect people to target you and especially what you are promoting with a concerted extended counter marketing campaign that will cost far more than you hope to gain and the number of people making that effort will simply overwhelm anything your firms marketdroids hope to achieve.
First up try out the product, get to know it really well, so you know what you are talking about and never attack people who complain about your product ie don't become an Apple dick.
This site puts it well http://www.davis-stirling.com/MainIndex/Asphalt/tabid/3350/Default.aspx. Potholes simply reflect cheap ass government focusing taxpayers dollars on kickbacks rather than on routine road maintenance. When you have pot holes, that represent either an unusual problem (flooding, water main burst etc.) or quite simply a break down in the proper duties of local government and or state government.
If you have pot holes in a major city and you ain't firing your elected representatives and replacing them with new representatives than you're bloody idiots and, yes according to Google street view US infrastructure roads and footpaths largely looks like shit.
The last M$ trigger for hate was them charging more for some truly off patent licences on Android phones than they were charging for Windows phone OS. Now that is about as anti-competitive as it gets.
Apple is simply better at manipulating it's marketing dollar that M$. Note, positive Apple stories often appear with Apple advertising, this is not by accident, Apple has paid for those stories by buying the associated advertising space.
Google is very subtle in it's advertising, your don't really see it but it's all about those good news Google stories. Googles simply aligns some of it's investment strategies to create good news stories.
We've all seen the PR=B$ cycles of charity washing and, green washing, where corporations make huge announcements about the efforts in those areas to hide their gross misdeeds in other areas. Catch is the internet eats that stuff alive because the miss deeds are no longer forgotten in the next news cycle but they are keep alive on the internet for years and when a mass of them builds up they create a tsunami of bad news that wipes out the carefully fabricated PR=B$ facade.
However his arrest does pose interesting discussion points like; what impact did the internet have in spreading the message and, would corporate main stream media have buried a story about a right wing retired judges son killing a nobody.
How valid are some of those interpretive laws that can be readily manipulated by skilled people that know people.
So now there at least will be a trial after mounting pressure but will it be a inverse show trial, where people skilled in the system will simply manipulate that system to their advantage.
Even more amusing would be digital currency tripping over a patent or two, only to discover a few years down the track, Canada locked into making patent payments for 10% or more of the electronic currency they are trading.
Nope. What you do is create a national program. This program creates experimental grades with a very low student teacher ratio to create computer based education for each grade. Once an effective model is created for each grade that model is distributed nationally starting at the lowest grades and catching up to higher grades as principles of application are established.
The easiest application is open source open e-book readers instead of text books. Then add in note taking add in direct quizzes in the open text book with correction at the end of the quiz. Now add in interactivity.
In supplying the code they also supplied free access to any patents implied in that code. So attempt was made to imply restricted access to any patent implied in the opened source code provided. So whilst no public formal agreement was established with regards to patent use, an informal agreement was established to allow access to the patents implied by the code along with access to that code being made accessible under the conditions of the open source licence agreement as that agreement did not specifically exclude patents associated with that code.
What's to stop people from selling absolutely anything, reporting it stolen and then getting it back. Well, it's all down to the getting it back part. To get it back, they have to get it back from someone. This person is commonly arrested and tried in court and a penalty applied. During this process they will attempt to prove that they did in fact pay you for the phone and that you criminal in place false charges against them.
So basically getting caught lying and paying a major fine or going to jail or both and of course losing your phone. The person could then also file civil suit for defamation so you could lose thousands more.
Still really, violation of a term of service should only be a criminal act if that actual violation is legislated as such otherwise it should just be a civil breach of contract.
Private corporation should not be able to just stick in arbitrary terms of service, things like you are not allowed to publicly criticise the company whilst using it's services etc. etc.
Of course you can just, 'um', check wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_pump. So not all insulin pumps are wireless just some, some are even bluetooth. Simplest wireless security that doesn't need any money going to macaffee, an on/off switch for the wireless controller and just to make sure a red warning led when wireless is active . As for security some units have a backup controller which checks the main controller for accurate function many times a day.
Well pick up at a larger city new you the day before, a nice luxury minivan, just the thing for a family drive but a real pain for the rest of the year, and book early. Lot's of large suv's available and you definitely don't want to pay for their fuel during the rest of the year. Of course if your running a hybrid it makes no difference, just keep fillings it's gas tank.
One of those lists whilst it starts off reasonable with things like a) in racist countries avoid direct contact with large groups of one distinct type when you distinctly not of the same type. Which is reasonable however after that it pretty obviously swung over to some pretty blatant and hateful racism.
In racist countries you have to moderate you behaviour to suit that racism, the US is a racist and prejudiced country as a result as a visiting tourist you have to adjust your behaviour to suit that. Be it the illusion of race, religion, politics or even sports, you have to modify your behaviour to suit the US's inherent violent prejudices.
Note that with the US racism and prejudice is spread pretty much across the board, except with Liberals. Liberals are somewhat difficult to visually identify but college/university towns can be considered somewhat safer.
Best bet, just to be safe travel to Canada instead, spend your time bitching about arrogant rude Americans and you'll be fine.
Considering at one stage defence industries where bitching because they only got second string geeks and nerds because they didn't pay as well as other tech industries and most geeks and nerds have n desire to tie their life to the killing of other human beings.
So when foreign countries donate their geeks and nerds to do US defence research the US spy vs spy types still whine and complain.
When are those wankers ever going to be happy, even if they are spying on all of us all of the time they'd still complain about our secret thoughts and demand mind reading equipment. Those ass hats seem to be working themselves up to declaring martial law and turning the whole world into a prison, just to be safe.
However AOL is committing suicide as a blog aggregator, playing politics, just recently coming to the defence of Darth Cheney but cutting off and censoring anyone they dared to comment or blog against him. That's really stupid selling out the future of the company to feed personal politics.
AOL seems determined to die a slow ugly death, with one mistake after another.
