- Incidential infringement. It happens, a lot. The greatest source of clipart today is google image search. People frequently grab popular songs to remix or dub over their own videos for youtube. Typically this is done by people who just don't care about copyright and know next to nothing about it.
I don't think that it's that they don't care about it, it's just that they don't view it as copyright infringement. They think of it more as fair use. It's not, but in their eyes and minds since they aren't "commercially" releasing it to make money off of it, or calling it their own work, then it's all good.
FDM printer like the MakerBot lineup are cheaper upfront for the machine, use cheaper material, offer more color options for the material, and generally have larger build capacities. The Form 1 however can do much higher resolution of small individual details and I believe the finished product is much smoother than what a FDM print would have with it's obvious layering.
I've also heard but don't know if it's true that the Form 1 prints may not be as durable over time due to how the plastic ages so it may not be as useful for "production" (usable) parts.
Ignorant people who still think they control the DNS registration system.
All those other cheaper DNS registrars are middle men and if you use Network Solutions, you're utilizing THE source. That's why everyone should use them. If they're are any problems, they'll fix them the fastest.
Or at least that's what a former IT manager told me once justifying why all the domains were registered with them instead of someone a fraction of the price.
By storing cardholder information, CVV's and (worst) PIN's in the clear, they obviously are not PCI DSS compliant
If reports are to believed, the malicious programs grabbed the information from memory on the infected POS machines. This wasn't a database that was dumped that had all the information in nice organized columns all in the clear.
While PCI compliance does call for not storing, encrypting, and/or otherwise taking certain precautions with certain data, I don't believe end to end encryption between the mag stripe read head and the payment processor. It's allowed to be decrypted somewhere and this malware was designed to exploit when it was available decrypted.
The 110m number is comprised of 40m credit and debit cards as well as personal data of 70m individuals. The latter includes names, addresses, phone, and email records but not credit/debit card.
The 40m cards is not 40m customers, as customers may have used multiple cards during the breach. The 70m customer with stolen personal data also likely has a huge overlap with the 40m cards.
I can guarantee that almost all of that personal data is very readily available on public lists already, diminishing the impact as well as value of that portion of the data.
No, we decide to whore out our homes with an indoor larger format billboard. Usually in the 40-60" range but sometimes smaller or even larger. Many people even pay a chunk of change for the opportunity to pay for the ads on said billboard.
Stolen credit cards can cause you headaches, stolen debit cards can ruin your life.
Get a better bank/credit union.
I've had issues with my Visa debit card several times over the years. I've never once had an issue where funds were not immediately deposited into my account on a provisional basis during the investigation of the transaction(s). It was a hassle while the bank sent out a new card when the old card was deactivated to prevent further further transactions, but hardly life ruining.
Efficiency can have multiple meanings. You're talking about maximizing mileage for the fuel used. What if we're talking about getting you from point A to point B the fastest possible to efficiently minimize your travel time and maximize your time at the destination? Or if the self-driving car is a taxi, for delivering one fare and picking up another, balancing fuel economy, fare rates, and fare availability, "efficiently" maximizing revenue while minimizing idle time.
Please state which Fortune 100 (or even 500) doesn't hire a significant number of H1B workers. Or for that matter, why it needs to be an incompetent H1B worker and not a incompetent US citizen if it even was incompetency.
What does the USPTO or patent law have anything to do with this? It's a British COPYRIGHT law that was passed following a change to a European law. Patents and trademarks are not at play here. Nor is US copyright law.
Even if it was about US copyright law, it's not abuse. It's following the law. If Apple Corps lobbied to have the law change, then maybe it's abuse. But they didn't. They just applied the law and the protection it granted to their work. Which is their right under copyright law.
No, Apple is not packaging them up and putting them on iTunes. Apple doesn't own the copyrights. Apple Corps, the corporation founded by the members of the Beetles who do have the copyrights, is the one releasing them on iTunes.
When you have two entities that have almost the same name involved in the same story, it makes a different to differentiate the two to be absolutely clear. But this is Slashdot after all...
Raises hand, at least from sources that I have flagged to do such. I have a variety of retailers, newsletters, etc where I prefer to read the full HTML email, with images, rather than just text only with markup that might look correct without images turned on.
Yes I understand the implications of having images turned on. Yes I don't give a crap if Newegg knows which emails that I read or my kids school knows that received their newsletter.
I think a clever ambulance chaser could probably initiate a lawsuit on her behalf, against the ex, claiming that he couldn't have known that whatever was being protected with that password was criminal evidence, and thus had no right to expose said password to someone else's property.
He was a co-defendant to the same trial. That he also pleaded guilty to. The state also had a legally recorded conversation between the two of them discussing the contents of the drive and it needing to be kept secret.
If a neighbor gives you a key to their house to let their pets out when they leave town, do you have a right to turn that key over to the cops if they claim your neighbor committed a crime, but present no warrant or evidence?
Bad example as you are not married to your neighbor. These two individuals were married, running a real estate scam together. As they were both part of the fraud, neither of them could claim spousal privileged communication with respect to items pertaining to the fraud, such as the password she indicated police would be asking for that protected the contents of one of the confiscated computers.
They were already divorced. Spousal privilege can't be invoked when the communication was part of a crime. It also can't be invoked when it's part of a spouse-defendant when they use it as part of their defense (not sure if this applies to this particular case).
If she didn't want her traitorous fuck ex to give up her password, perhaps she shouldn't have committed a crime that she ultimately pleaded guilty to. There's no honor among thieves, apparently including ex-spouse thieves too.
She ended up never disclosing the password. She was never even held in contempt for not disclosing the password. They ended up receiving a list of possible passwords from someone else, one of which worked. This resolved this particular instance so further appeals were not needed for this case.
Her appeal to the federal appeals court was denied as she had not yet been convicted or acquitted. The appeals court didn't have jurisdiction at the point of the attempted appeal.
Had she refused, no alternative means of getting the password existed, and she was held in contempt and/or convicted due to not disclosing the password, then I agree with you.
I wasn't looking for suggestions for a flashlight app. It was more of a specific example in an abstract discussion. My comment's parent asked the specific question why a flashlight app needs gps and network permissions to which I suggested legitimate reasons why such permissions would be requested. They may not be needed for the app to operate correctly, but they may be needed to support the developer's work.
Second, people obviously don't review the privs their apps request and say something like "Why the fuck does a flashlight app need access to my GPS and network?"
How is the user to differentiate legitimate vs illegitimate use of GPS and network access?
For instance, a restaurant review application wants GPS info to tell you what restaurants are near by, and needs network access to load data. Perfectly legitimate needs for those permissions and without those permissions being granted, the app is pretty useless. But there's nothing stopping the app from also transmitting your location back to someone for some other purpose.
For another example: I play a variety of free games on my phone and tablet. I acknowledge that they are free in exchange for showing me ads. I'm accepting of the ads as a condition for being able to play for free. I'd like for the ads be relevant and/or localized. So I don't have a problem sharing GPS info across the network if it means that the ads might actually be for something that I might click on once in a while. So again, while you may question why the app needs GPS and network permission, there can be a legitimate reason for it.
Now in the case of a "flashlight app" that took all of 5 minutes to write if they had no mobile development experience, and requires no continuing support, asking "Why the fuck does a flashlight app need that access" is a legitimate question and the only legitimate answer is because the author wants to whore out your information to make money.
How long does it take a check to clear or do an ACH transfer? Longer than 50 minutes?
It depends on what type of service to move the money is used.
For ACH, the submitting bank sends their batch of transactions to the clearing house, the clearing house processes all the batches, and when the receiving bank picks up their processed batches. Typically it's a next-day service. The bank collects all the days requests, sends them at say 5PM. The clearing house processes them overnight. And the receiving bank picks them up a 6AM. (Times are all just for illustrative purposes). If the requesting bank sits on the request for a day or two, or doesn't have the necessary authorization/paperwork yet, then it could take longer.
For checks, it depends if the check is electronically presented. Wal-Mark for instance will scan the check, send the image to their bank, and then their bank to your bank, all electronically obviously. That process can be completed in as little as a few hours although typically I think it's usually a one day turn around similar to ACH.
If a paper check is used, and the payee doesn't electronically present it themselves, then the check has to reach the bank where it might be electronically presented. Then it all depends on when the payee does their bank deposit and when the bank processes the check. So it could be but isn't guaranteed to be a day or two if not more.
An actual bank wire transfer, as long as it's performed before the banks' cutoff times, is the fastest. The banks talk more directly with each other and as long as both sides are on there game, could be almost real time. In practice, 10-15 minutes if you cross your fingers.

"Good enough" depends on what you are printing.

It's a good thing Network Solutions and LogMeIn aren't associated. Otherwise he would have found out the same day that the product launched.

Just state it the way that we all know how it is. They don't remove anything.

Is that produced by Apple Computer or Apple Corps?
Bite me. I haven't had my morning caffeine.
No, Apple is not packaging them up and putting them on iTunes. Apple doesn't own the copyrights. Apple Corps, the corporation founded by the members of the Beetles who do have the copyrights, is the one releasing them on iTunes.

I still put it as unsettled/undecided.
She ended up never disclosing the password. She was never even held in contempt for not disclosing the password. They ended up receiving a list of possible passwords from someone else, one of which worked. This resolved this particular instance so further appeals were not needed for this case.

So which crime was she charged with again?
Yet.
Isn't interpretation of law one of primary functions of a judicial system? Seems like there is some degree of openness to interpretation after all.
