Who wants to bet that Visa and Mastercard will follow the telecoms into getting retroactive immunity?
I may be wrong, but I don't think Congress can grant retroactive immunity for a corporation's operation in another country. They may grant immunity for US operations, but if they chose to operate in a foreign country they are subject to that foreign country's laws.
Potentially this could put Paypal, Visa, and MasterCard between a rock and a hard place.
There's nothing that prevents the credit card processors from refusing to process the payments. However unlike most of the organizations that have had trouble with processors in the past, the EFF is a legitimate charity with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. It's hard to argue that an organization is engaging in illegal, questionable, or otherwise prohibited transactions on one hand, but have the government endorse it on the other.
Even though most people, including me, disagree with their opinions that should still be able to picket and print whatever stuff they want.
Whatever they want? At what point does it cross over from them exercising their freedom of speech to infringing on others rights not to give a fuck, to feel safe, or not to be harassed? Even with freedoms, there are limits to how far those freedoms extend.
Actually, as far as I know the Google Play Store also takes a 30% cut.
Except with Android you have the option to install apps from other sources than the official Play store. With Apple you don't easily have the same option.
According to the review on Yelp, she won a summary judgement on a civil lawsuit the contractor filed. She did file a police report, but only after he showed up on her door step to "talk" after she won the judgement. Nothing was mentioned regarding criminal charges.
Reading the review, the only thing that I don't think could be substantiated in the review was that he stole her jewelry. She never comes out and says he did, but implies it by saying the jewelry was missing and he was the only other one with a key.
Regulation Fair Disclosure requires that when a company discloses information to investors, that its able reach all investors at the same time. If an investor was not a fan of Netflix, they would not have the opportunity to receive the information.
This is one of the reasons why companies hold conference calls, issue press releases, etc regarding information pertinent to an investor, so that it's disclosed fairly to everyone.
The question here is his posting on facebook disclosing a fact that would be material to investors? And does him previously posting about it on a public blog count as previous disclosure. IMHO, much ado about nothing.
You're screwed then, and not in a good way, if you're at your monthly quota on the 5th of the month. Hopefully you don't have any Christmas vacation or you're going to be lonely.
It's not like anyone with an android phone running Froyo can arbitrarily decide to upgrade to Jelly Bean.
My HTC Glacier/T-Mobile MyTouch 4G was originally running Froyo when I got it. I've been able to upgrade to Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, and JellyBean with 3rd party roms from over at XDA Developers.
Usually cheaper to use the "based on your income" option to to add it all up and apply 6%...
So you just pay an additional 6% of your income because it's "cheaper"? Doesn't that mean you are paying the tax twice for all of your in-state purchases or paying a tax on your mortgage, non-taxable purchases, etc?
You are SO under estimating the complexity of the requirement. There aren't 50 tax jurisdictions out there. There's about 11,000. There isn't one flat rate that covers the state. Many jurisdictions have different rates for general merchandise, food/beverage, grocery, clothing, medicine, etc. Some jurisdictions have progressive tax on some purchases, or exempt up to a particular value of the item. Add to that local county or city taxes.
Take all the above and then decide which taxing authority a particular person lives in. Can't go by zip code, as zip codes can span multiple jurisdictions. You need to have a fairly precise map of what the bounds for each of the 11,000 jurisdiction are, as they relate to addresses.
When remitting all these taxes, it's up to the company to document which tax jurisdiction the funds go into. The state doesn't do that for the company. This process needs to be repeated anywhere from once a year for very small sales volume, to monthly for even modest sales of a few thousand dollars annually.
So instead of a 50 element array, you're now tracking 11,000 elements that each may have multiple rates depending on the product type, as well as the geographical information of all 11,000 of those elements and every single address in the country. And you need to keep track of any changes to any of that information.
Now you see what a huge PITA sales tax is for electronic commerce.
The funny thing is that since you realize you are making curt judgmental remarks, you probably didn't have AS to begin with. Someone with AS typically would just go on like normal and never realize what they said was curt.
Financial incentives? As a father of a son that has Asperger's, please point out to me what these financial incentives are. I'd love to get some compensation for everything that we have to fight with every single day.
20 computers isn't that much. WIth my family of 5, we have 3 home theater PCs, a server, 3 laptops, and 3 tablets that just have easily could have been additional laptops. That's 10 "computers" right there and I don't consider myself particularly nerdy anymore.
From one of the links the guys says that those 20 computers were mainly "barebone PCs, HP storage microservers, and thin clients". And it doesn't state if those were even functional computers. Over the years I've collected and scavenged from many old PCs that were going to be thrown out or were no longer wanted.
you can bet your arse that if Google decided to run on the front page "Larry Page is a homosexual" on the front page the courts would not like it either.
First, I don't think that the courts would really care if Google said their founder was gay or not. Page might, especially if he wasn't and/or was in the closet about it. And it would be a case between Page and his company.
Regardless though, Google isn't saying "Larry Page is a homosexual". Google is more like saying "The website http://www.example.com/index.html says Larry Page is a homosexual". Libel can't be libel if it's a fact. And if a webpage does say that, even if the underlying statement is untrue, the website did actually state that. Or at least that was what I use to think prior to this case.
When someone says shop local, they don't mean shop at the local Walmart or Fry's or (other chain here). They are talking about a small scale enterprise usually owned by an individual or a family or small set of partners.
I'd be happy to shop local, if their pricing is reasonable. But I've yet to find that for computer parts for instance. I understand having to pay for the storefront, employees, inventory, etc. But if I'm building a system, I'm not going to pay 33-50% more just to buy it local.
Their current price for a bulk 1TB 7200rpm SATA drive is $140. Newegg sells the same drive in bulk for $70. Memory has a similar 200% markup. They want a premium price for a i5-650 that's been EOL and is nearly a 3 year old processor. Current processors have a 33-50% markup.
It's an court order, but it may not be an order specifically by the court. The subpoena in some areas may be issued by an attorney without any immediate judicial oversight. The subpoenaed individual then could challenge it to have due process and judicial oversight. A court clerk also can issue the subpoena, but it too may not have any judicial oversight.
In essence, due process is being followed the same way for the domain as it does with a B&M store. It's taken a wile previously, but domains that were mistakenly taken were eventually returned. I know that isn't any consolation to a business that was shut down for days/weeks/months/years. But could a independent B&M store survive all their inventory being confiscated indefinitely either?
Such as wearing a shirt with CUNT printed on it, then complaining for being called one after you labelled yourself.
My wife calls me sexy. I don't want my boss calling me sexy. I might call my wife a fucking bitch while playing a game if she makes a move that blocks. Her boss calling her a fucking bitch would be inappropriate in a professional office environment.
The plaintiff may have been at a bachelorette party where friends put the shirt on her or she was otherwise having a good time and went along with it. That doesn't mean it was appropriate, right, or that she appreciated her boss calling her that or saying that to her.
Context is very key and context can not be fully determined just from a picture. And even if it could, it still doesn't mean that the boss didn't sexually harass her or other plaintiffs.
Trust the computer industry to shorten the term "Year 2000" to Y2K.
It was this kind of thinking that got them in trouble in the first place.
What's wrong with Y2K? 2K = 2000. The problem with Y2K was that they shortened 2000 to 00, dropping the most significant digits. Not just substituting 3 digits (000) with a letter (K).
You don't have a "list of domains", there is only one domain.
Apparently you have never seen the sites button for the Local Intranet tab in the Internet Options control panel. It's where you can specify the "list of domains". IE just makes assumptions unless the user has specified otherwise or is overridden by a policy. And when you make assumptions...
To say the least, those terms are all trademarked within their domains. That's why Apple Inc. and Apple Records ended up up in legal battles with one another when Apple Inc. entered the music business. It was because trademarks were being infringed.
They were in battles long before Apple entered the music business with iTunes. Apple Records didn't like Apple using their name as early as 1978 as well as them adding basic sound capabilities to their computers in the mid 80s or sound files/programs in the early 90s.

If they were B&M stores, at minimum the suspected counterfeit merchandise would have been confiscated. Earlier this year such a thing happened around the Super Bowl here with counterfeit jerseys and other NFL apparel. If the entire store was counterfeit, the store would be effectively shut down.
In essence, due process is being followed the same way for the domain as it does with a B&M store. It's taken a wile previously, but domains that were mistakenly taken were eventually returned. I know that isn't any consolation to a business that was shut down for days/weeks/months/years. But could a independent B&M store survive all their inventory being confiscated indefinitely either?
