It wasn't CDs, but rather DVDs, but that is essentially what Zediva tried with individual DVDs and players. It ultimately didn't work out for them in the end, although I don't believe that there was final verdict that said what they were attempting to do was illegal. If another company wanted to try the legal challenge, they better have VERY deep pockets.
We just had a demonstration that most people are willing to live under Marshal Law, have their houses searched, in a violation of the 4th Amendment.
No we didn't. There was no marshal law. There wasn't even an emergency order. It was a shelter in place order, requesting people to stay in there homes with doors locked for their safety. Martial law, by definition, requires the military to control things, which wasn't the case. It was civilian authorities.
Home searches were also done. In many cases I'm sure the search was with homeowner permission. I know there was at least one unverified (AFAIK) video of a team forcefully searching a home. But there wasn't much supporting evidence as to when, where, and why things happened as they did in the video. If a home was searched, against a homeowners permission, and the suspect wasn't found but some other evidence of a crime was found (illegal gun, drugs, etc) I'm sure there would be a legal heyday on 4th amendment grounds.
I know no one bothers to RTFA, but in this case if you WTFV you would have seen that Segura never was more than a foot or two off the base path at any time during this whole ordeal.
He stepped slight inside the infield grass running back to 2nd, but still easily within the acceptable limits of the imaginary basepath, and he stepped a few steps off of 1st as if he was going to the dugout but was stopped by the 1st base coach.
The difference in this case though is that there is a very real security issue in the area. If all of Boston went into lock down immediately after the marathon bombing, and remained there with little or no explanation why it was on lock down, then the terrorists have won. Or if, as a result of the bombs that we get new legislation outlawing pressure cookers without background checks, then the terrorists have already won. A day of locking down an area telling residents to not go outside, lock there doors, and don't answer doors unless it's the authorities as they look for the guy...that's not terrorizing. That's securing. How exactly are the authorities suppose to quickly search for and apprehend the guy if there are tens of thousands of people in the immediate area going about their Friday?
The only difference between in house and cloud-based email in this case is who the fingers get pointed at when the fecal matter hits the air conveyance device.
If you don't agree with Microsoft's position, one thing you can do is to not purchase from any company participating in such agreements. Even better: purchase from a company that isn't, and send a letter to a company that is, so they understand that they're cutting off their own air supply.
Unfortunately, that's not really an option unless you just don't want a cell phone. The amount of licensing and cross-licensing in the cell phone industry makes it impossible for you to avoid a manufacturer that has a deal with a company you don't agree with their position.
If you abandon a patent, does that absolve you liability for your invention? Or did it ever make you responsible for your patent to begin with? In your example would a company ever have the liability for a patented gene sequence that did give someone cancer for instance.
Having a nonprofit does not mean it's a charity. Being recognized as a nonprofit just means that any profit isn't distributed as profit or dividends to any owners. Profits are retained within the corporation for self-funding, expansion, or other future plans.
I use to work for a national hardware store co-op that was classified as a nonprofit. While I was there we did up to I beleive $2.5b in sales each year to our member stores. Every year, a portion of the profits from the prior fiscal year after our costs, setting aside for expansion, etc was set aside for funding the company pension plans based on whatever the actuaries told the company. Then of what was left I believe 10% or 20% was given back to employees in the form of profit sharing retirement account (with restrictions similar to an IRA or 401k). Finally the remaining amount was given back to stores as a rebate check based on their purchases over that fiscal year. Employees were allowed to "profit" as it was part of our job and compensation. And stores who in many respects were shareholders of the co-op to got "profit" in the form of their rebate checks, getting money back. Many times that money was put back into their stores or new stores increasing their purchasing with us. The corporation continued to operate and grow much like any for-profit corporation did, except because we didn't give out dividends, we were nonprofits.
I don't think China cares much about NK anymore.China only cares enough about them to keep them around as a buffer keeping South Korean allies (read: the US) away from their borders.
there are no strategic resources or whatnot to be had.
Some have estimated North Korea's rare earth mineral deposits to be over $6t USD. Not exactly chump change although I don't think enough to start a war over. But then again, I don't work for Halliburton or whatever the mining equivalent is.
We have laws about reckless driving which fully cover any and all distractions, but they require an officer to show up and testify that the behavior was reckless.
It also depends on what meets the legal definition of reckless. A recent local news story near my city reports that a guy who readily admits texting while driving and causing an accident killing 3 people in an Amish buggy won't face charges because while the grand jury found him grossly negligent, they didn't find it reckless. Indiana doesn't have a negligent homicide, reckless homicide is the lowest level for a homicide.
While it's always argued here that IP doesn't identify a person, which I think is true, it does identify a connection - that's after all the whole purpose of an IP address.
Maybe. You're presuming that ISPs keep accurate information regarding DHCP leases. From the article it said that her ISP "distributes IP addresses among customers as they log on and that it can't track exactly who had what number when."
Where does it say what type of drive was stolen or what it was in? Backups of a production database on a developers' laptop hard drives for instance would still fit the story if laptops were taken. Or if they were on external drives but used for the same purpose.
Even if they were "enterprise drives" in a server, NAS, SAN, etc there is some used market for them. Probably not the same market that wanted them new, but they'll still sell for the right price.
Back in the day before [new, obscure, inferior and/or unpopular brand] Store, it was nearly impossible to find a "brick and morter" retailer that was knowledgeable about their [new, obscure, inferior, and/or unpopular brand] product. The sales people generally steer customers to [other older, better known, superior, and/or popular competitor], and not even mention that they sold [new, obscure, inferior and/or unpopular brand products]. They carried very little if any [new, obscure, inferior and/or unpopular brand products] if any at all.
You've just described every single brand/product that's ever been marketed where there is a competing brand/product.
Say the professor prefers tea & fills his teapot from his university's tap. Does he have an individual meter so that his usage is not coming out of the pocket of the rest of the faculty or the students? If a corporate lunch is an untaxed benefit shouldn't he have one for his tea? Shouldn't he also have one for the toilets he uses? How is his use of these common resources any different from free lunches -- or is it just a matter of time until this becomes the norm as well??
The IRS (taxing authority for Google's main campus) has a taxable fringe benefit guide that covers this type of thing. If the benefit, in your example the tap water for tea, is of minimal fair market value, then it's not taxable. Donuts at a department meeting, a company picnic for lunch one day, your boss buying a few workers pizza late one evening when they are putting in overtime to finish a project, etc.
If the business furnishes the meal for the EMPLOYER'S convenience, then the cost of the FMV of the meal doesn't get included as part of wages. Examples of this from the above document would be a ferry's worker's meal as they can't just pull the ferry over to let the workers have their lunch break. Or a firefighter who has to be on call and can't step away for a meal. While Google could probably claim that some of their workers are critical in nature and can't leave the premises should an emergency arise, I don't think you could argue that ALL employees fit that category.
Apache is screwing over just as many people as PHP screwed over when they EOL-ed the PHP 4.4.x branch, or.Net 1.1 or 2.0 when mainstream support ended.
People can continue to use the outdated version, but it wasn't supported. It's not as if all applications ceased to operate, just that if you haven't moved on to developing Struts 2 apps by now, then you need to bite the bullet and switch.
Without minimum training, the question as to how they would did wouldn't be answered as they likely would be dead before completely leaving our atmosphere. Instead, we should give them minimal training: Hold your breath.

So she got to go home early and won't be docked pay. Oh no!
Because in-house servers NEVER go down.

So in other words, just another day on the stock market...
Because that wouldn't overwhelm the control channels with even more traffic while not utilizing the voice/data channels at all. Great plan.

What was the last version of ANY production os that was released without known bugs?

And that ruling was stayed pending the eventual government appeal. Until that stay is lifted it's business as usual regarding NSL.
I'm unclear on how this law would directly infringe on a person's 1st Amendment rights.
